When your period comes back, consider trying out a menstrual cup, reusable pads, or menstrual underwear like @shethinx (I have some of the latter and love them!!) If you've tried any of the above what do you think? Pros and cons? #Repost @flowdownpod (@get_repost) ・・・ For some perspective into the environmental impact that switching to a menstrual cup can have, consider this: 🔴The Huffington Post estimates that an individual uses and throws away more than 10,000 disposable period products in a lifetime. That equates to about 250 to 300 pounds of pads, tampons and applicators! And the UK-based City to Sea campaign has calculated that some pads contain up to four plastic bags worth of plastic. 🔴These products live on for many years: the time it takes for a tampon or pad to degrade in a landfill is centuries longer than the lifespan of the individual who used it. . . .

Society influences how we feel about our bodies. There’s societal ideals and norms we have felt obligated to conform too. But these ideals are problematic and NOT the norm. No one can dictate how your body deals with life. I’m in my 30’s I can’t expect to look the same as when I was 16. My body has been through a lot since then- it’s not normal to shrink ourselves of try and fit a made up norm. My body will continue to change because that is life, that is normal. Our bodies adapt with life and changes. Accepting this has been important in my recovery. If you struggle with body image I hear you. But it’s normal for your body to change, and a body that can adapt to carry a child, survive surgeries, illness & aging is a far healthier body than one we try to keep static. #edrecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #ivf #anorexianervosarecovery #allbodiesaregoodbodies #haes #hypothalamicamenorrhea #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisorderecovery #anorexiafighter #anorexiafight #bulimiarecovery #osfed #osfedrecovery #ednosrecovery #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #fuckeatingdisorders #fuckanorexianervosa #mentalhealthrecovery #bodyneutrality #ditchdietculture #antidietculture #antidietproject https://www.instagram.com/p/CTI4UeupMB4/?utm_medium=tumblr

I think “recovery burnout” is real. I think it’s important to be kind to yourself if your feeling it. Use that self kindness tool kit. Recovery doesn’t always look like massive changes everyday. Often it’s boring, but for the days it’s not boring and you’re fighting to be in recovery it’s important to put the work in. Acknowledging it’s boring, tiring is ok. #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #hypothalamicamenorrhea #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery #edwarriors #anorexianervosarecovery #anorexiafighter #anorexiarecovery #bulimiarecovery #bulimierecovery #fuckdietculture #fuckdiet #antifatphobia #fuckeatingdisorders #fuckana #fuckbulimia #fuckanorexianervosa #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexianervosa #bingeeatingrecovery #bingeeatingdisorderrecovery #healthateverysizemovement #haes, #burnoutrecovery #edrecoveryburnout, #selfkindnessmatters #selfkindness #selfcompassionjourney https://www.instagram.com/p/COEWUW_pI69/?igshid=1ixft69vjmm2w

For those of you who read this and think WTF, this post is not for you. Those of you who read this and are experiencing this, then I probably don’t need to explain what it is. But, if you are someone who, the moment they step foot in a supermarket or have a menu in front of you and all you can hear is noise, you’re not alone. I used to walk into supermarkets and instantly freeze & have no clue what I went in for, to be surrounded by so many things I would not “allow” myself to have would feel overwhelming. The arguments that would go on in my brain trying to choose something made it impossible. More often than not I’d leave after 30mins or more empty handed because of the inability to make a decision in those moments was crippling. If that’s where you are now, I’m holding so much space for you. I want you to know, it does get better with recovery and challenging this. 💕 #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisordersupport #edrecoverywarrior #edrecoveryjourney #edawareness #anorexiafighter #anorexiarecover #atypicalanorexiarecovery #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #hypothalamicamenorrhea #bulimiarecovery #bulimiafighter #bingeatingdisorder #livedexperience #orthorexia #orthorexiarecovery #ednoswarrior #osfed #fuckanorexianervosa #fuckeatingdisorders #haes https://www.instagram.com/p/CSv68X-pKqh/?utm_medium=tumblr

A memory came up on my Facebook feed. It reminded me how when I was in the grips of anorexia seeing pictures of myself repulsed me. But they repulsed me no matter how I looked, as I got sicker the more warped this became. When this picture came up on my feed, I didn’t tear it apart. I don’t “love my body” I’m not sure anyone truly does. I’m grateful for what it allows me to do. I have bad body image days but nothing like when I was lost in my own head fighting the eating disorder voice. You can learn to change your thoughts. #hypothalamicamenorrhea #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #anorexiarecovery #anorexiasucks #anorexianervosarecovery #anorexiafighter #anorexiabingepurgesubtyperecovery #bulimiarecovery #bulimierecovery #ditchdiets, #antidietculture #antidiet #fuckanorexianervosa #fuckanorexiaforever #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexianervosa #fuckeatingdisorders #edrecovery #fuckana #healthateverysize #healthateverysizemovement https://www.instagram.com/p/COMty0vJIyQ/?igshid=d2k2id42qlda

Maths was never my strong point. But in the throes of my ED, the calculations that used to go on were ridiculous. Life isn’t supposed to be calculated I’m happy to have lost that part of my brain through recovery. If you believe you’ll never be able to stop calculating calories etc, I promise you can. It can be unlearned. I spent ages with a black marker blocking out nutrition content on things. The black marker is understated!! I have forgotten the numbers that were once automatic.#livedexperience #anorexianervosarecovery #anorexiafighter #anorexiarecover #bulimiawarrior #bulimiafighter #fuckanorexia#fuckbulimia#fuckeatingdisorders #antidietproject #antidietculture #nocountingcalories #atypicalanorexiarecovery #osfedrecovery #othorexiarecovery #orthorexiarecovery #ednosrecovery #ditchdietculture #hypothalamicamenorrhea #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #edrecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery https://www.instagram.com/p/CTGFrwThioR/?utm_medium=tumblr

We often don’t see ourselves how the world sees us. If you’re having a bad body image day, a negative self talk day, try picturing yourself through the eyes of those who love and care about you. Jinxy- my cat, couldn’t give a shit if my jeans are too snug or my I don’t like what I see in the mirror. That face in that picture is adoration. Fuck the mirror, the photos the negative self chatter. What other people who truly matter see is worth more than any number, image or thought. #equity4eatingdisorders #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderecovery #catsofinstagram #edrecovery #edwarriors #anorexiafighter #anorexia #anorexiasucksass #fuckanorexianervosa #anorexianervosarecovery #bulimiarecovery #bulimiafighter #bulimianervosarecovery #orthorexia #orthorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexia #hypothalamicamenorrhea #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #screwmirrors #ditchdietmentality #ditchdietculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CPb8ixTp4Db/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve lost my appetite a bit this week. But as someone with a history of a restrictive eating disorder I cannot afford to under fuel my body. - In situations where I lose my appetite I still eat 3 meals and snacks. I make myself eat. It’s easier for me to do that than deal with pulling myself out of a relapse. - I saw a smoothie stand today when I was out shopping. I fancied a smoothie. This would have been really hard for me to allow myself to have when I was in the depths of my eating disorder. I would have used the fact I have allergies to avoid it. But I gave myself permission today. I don’t need to micromanage or question my cravings. And no I did not just have a smoothie- a smoothie is not a meal. I’m about to go and make myself lunch too. - I also don’t need to question why I have lost my appetite. It doesn’t matter . I just have to make sure I give my body what it needs. #hypothalamicamenorrhea #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery, #anorexiarecoverywarrior #anorexianervosarecovery #anorexiarecoverymeal #bulimiarecovery #bulimianervosarecovery #bulimierecovery #fuckana #fuckeatingdisorders #fuckanorexianervosa #fuckbulimia #fuckdiets #fuckdietculture #fuckfatphobia #ditchdietculture #ditchdiets #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexianervosa #healthateverysize #healthatanysize #HAES #anorexiarecoverywarrior #anorexiafighter https://www.instagram.com/p/COB3utyJmdz/?igshid=smzyzavujcrx

When we are in the throes of an eating disorder, the inner critic can be so unkind, tearing us to shreds for what we have/ haven’t eaten bla bla. One sentence I find really helpful at times where the ED voice/ inner critic has room to start: “THE END” I use this sentence to help me go about my day, to tell the voice it has no place here. Example: I just ate chocolate. “THE END”. I rested today. THE END I ate more than I planned. THE END. There does not need to be any further judgement/ questioning. If I’m struggling using this sentence can help me move forward. THE END. #edrecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #livedexperience #eatingdisorderecovery #anorexiafighter #anorexianervosarecovery #atypicalanorexiarecovery #bingeatingrecovery #bulimiarecovery #bulimiafighter #orthorexiarecovery #osfedrecovery #ednosrecovery #mentalhealthrecovery #ditchdietculture #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #fuckanorexia #fuckanorexianervosa #fuckeatingdisorders #antifatphobia #antidietproject #antidietculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CS2pZ3Ph1O0/?utm_medium=tumblr

We have always been enough, until the eating disorder convinced us otherwise and it changed this belief. When we were born, we we born knowing we are enough. Then external factors change this beliefs. No child is born believing they are not enough. It is a learned false belief. We start to buy into our eating disorder, “losing weight, changing my body will make me better, happy, give me worth” But we are good enough all along and we do not have to change anything about ourselves. I’m not sure when this first started to change in my thoughts. I know as a child I like myself, I loved that I was the kid who opened new conversations with “I can do a forward roll, what’s your name” I had total faith in myself, until I didn’t anymore and my eating disorder took over. Only through the work in recovery can I connect with that inner child and know that, I have always been enough. You have always been enough. #livedexperience #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecoveryjourney #edrecovery #anorexia #anorexiafighter #mentalhealth #selfworth #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #bulimiarecovery #orthorexiarecovery #osfed #ednosrecovery #haes https://www.instagram.com/p/CS0IB3AJ702/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you find weekends hard, you’re not alone. However I want you to know it doesn’t have to be this way. It won’t always be this way if you recover. I used to dread weekends or days off. This is because they either involve “rest”, socializing and therefore often eating, being around people and it made the ED demands often at times unbearable. Often for a time in recovery this can get worse, whilst you’re challenging behaviors and re-wiring & resting more. The ED can get louder. No lie I used to started dreading the next weekend on Monday. But I wanted to share this because this weekend, I’ve had such a great weekend with friends, a lot of it involved sitting and eating. Something I never imagined would be achievable for me. It was so nice not having to plan everything, obsess or worry. Weekends can be free. If you’re not there yet I hear you. But hold on to the hope you will. #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderecovery #edrecoverycommunity #edrecoverywarrior #anorexiafighter #anorexianervosarecovery #anorexiafight #compulsivemovement #hypothalmicamenorrhea #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #bulimiarecovery #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #perfectionismrecovery #orthorexiarecovery #okaytonotbeokay #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CSSWtDiBxty/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of the best things about recovery is the freedom to enjoy things. Biscoff arguably the best biscuit dunker… controversial? Chocolate hobnob a close second? If you are struggling with allowing yourself foods you enjoy, keep going. There was a time not so long ago these would have terrified me. Recovery is worth it for moments of bliss like sitting with a hot drink on a wet day. Recovery is possible. #edrecoverycommunity #eatingdisorderecovery #edrecoverywarrior #eatingdisorderrecovery #anorexianervosarecovery #anorexiafighter #anorexiasucks #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #hypothalamicamenorrhea #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #bulimiarecovery #bulimianervosarecovery #bingeeatingrecovery #arfid #osfedrecovery #orthorexiarecovery #orthorexianervosa #eatingdisorderssuck #antidietrevolution #ditchdietculture #fuckeatingdisorders #nodiet #haes https://www.instagram.com/p/CRfHuBKpfKu/?utm_medium=tumblr

For a person in recovery from an eating disorder, restriction/dieting is like a drug. It is not something that can be dabbled in. Last week I shared a post about a platform promoting a diet, whilst they themselves shared their own ED Recovery. I don’t think Pursuing weight loss is ever an answer let alone in ED recovery. The message I want to to convey here, eating disorders have similarities to addiction. With addictions we avoid the trigger. This is not possible for a person with an eating disorder- avoiding food contributes to the issue. (Additionally food addiction is not a thing- despite what diet culture tells us). Dieting, restriction these are avoidable. These are addictive. If we are working on the re-wiring process of our brains then ultimately this will no longer be something you are drawn to. The emphasis should be on unlearning fat phobia, bias and learning body neutrality. Dieting is not congruent with this. Just like someone in substance addiction recovery you cannot safely engage in dieting. It is not worth it. #eatingdisorderecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #bodyneutrality #antidiet #antidietrevolution #ditchdietculture #antidietproject #healthateverysizemovement #anorexiafighter #anorexiarecoverycommunity #hypothalamicamenorrhea #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #orthorexia #orthorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexiaawareness #bulimiarecovery #bingeeatingrecovery #osfedrecovery #fuckeatingdisorders #edrecoverywarrior https://www.instagram.com/p/CRKwXThpVge/?utm_medium=tumblr
