All that you are is enough.

it's okay to eat.

it's okay to eat if you've already eaten today.

it's okay to eat if you haven't excerised today.

it's okay to eat if you don't feel like you've "earned" it.

it's okay to eat whatever you want. food has no inherent morality attached to it. eat a cookie, a salad, some noodles - whatever you want. we're trained to see food as the enemy, but it should be so much more! food keeps us alive, and allows us to do every wonderful thing we do every day. food should be your friend. you don't have to earn any type of food, or any at all. food is a necessity.

it's okay to eat. period.

Reason #1921

I want to recover for concerts and live music and the experience of it all

[a-beautiful-you]

I totally forgot that this account existed and I just saw that this had over six thousand notes, so wow everybody, thank you so much!!!

[a-beautiful-you]

I've recently found your blog, and I love your message. Im currently wanting to try to start the journey of recovering but it's still very scary to me. Finding you has made me want to ask, have you recovered from a personal ED? If so, could you give me so reasons to not be so afraid? I can't even picture what recovery is like.. Ive been fighting for 11 years now and I'm so tired, but I don't really know anything else

I am in recovery at the moment, yes. I know it’s scary, but for me I knew I had to stop with the worst behaviours because they were really messing up my life (I was doing badly at uni even though I love my subject and it made relationships hard).

I don’t know how to tell you not to be scared, because trying to change and letting go of things (even if they are hurting you) is scary. I could tell you your fears are irrational or don’t help, but you probably already know that. But I can tell you reasons why it’s worth it.

Recovery is worth it because you can have so much more energy if you’re eating. You can start doing things that you always told yourself you had to wait for. You’ll have more time in your day when you can stop. You can enjoy things like eating again and you won’t avoid it. It’s worth it because people will still love and care for you no matter what you look like, and they’ll be happy to know you’re doing better.

Also- right now your brain might be telling you that you have to do certain things to be valuble and that if you ever recovered you wouldn’t be. That’s a lie. Know that one day you will find your worth outside your eating disorder and it’ll feel so much better. It can really help to start finding things that will help you with that as soon as possible, even if you’re not considering yourself in recovery yet.

One final note- if you’re reaching out and asking for help, you’re on the right path. Recovery isn’t only about the final results, it’s every step along the way, and you can start making them. I wish you all the best Nonny, and I’m rooting for you

hey, have you been kind to yourself today? Have you eaten something, enjoyed the feeling of wind mussing up your hair, taken a shower, or hugged someone because you wanted to?

If you have, that’s wonderful, and I’m proud of you. If you haven’t, I’m rooting for you, you can do this.

Please don’t forget that it is not normal to feel guilty for eating. It is not normal to hate your body to the point of destroying it. It is not normal to want to see your bones and it is not normal to want to disappear. Wanting to shed a few pounds before summer is normal, but making it the only thing that counts is not. You deserve to feel better than this. You deserve to look forward to summer instead of being scared of looking fat in a bikini. You deserve to feel valuable no matter what size your pants are. I hope you’ll be able to see the magic in your whole being one day. I hope, by then, you’ll have realized that it’s not about thigh gaps or goal weights or collarbones. The things you’re risking your life for don’t mean a thing, I promise.

Please read...

Must I begin, by saying how dare you guys. Now I don’t mean everybody, of course. I’m talking to the pedophiles, the ones that target the weakness in girls. In addition, to those that a cruel, and rude. Now I think a greater explanation is owed. Recently, a fellow blogger @alookatmythoughts ghts was targeted by somebody who clearly had some hidden intentions. And now I don’t swear, but what the fuck!! Don’t people realize that blogging is the only way to help some people with mental illnesses, and disorders? It’s not something that most people are okay with talking about freely, and now your sabotaging the only chance that they have to express them selves. From last experience, we don’t want the attention from other people, we just want to be supported, and people to talk to if we need to rant. We need a place where it is okay to cry, and be 100% honest. So why would somebody fuck that all up for somebody? This goes to all the “sex addict” people too. Why do you guys think it’s okay to target us? Ik from past experience that this happens, it’s not okay!! We already have issues, and you think by leering us with your open arms and trust will help. In fact, all you guys do is make it worse , by messing with our heads, telling us one thing then another two days later.

In addition, I suppose I’m still regarding to Rose, when we post something on our blogs, it doesn’t mean we want all you feedback. Of course it won’t all be politically correct, it’s our honest opinions that we just need to get out ! But when you guys are offended by it, or feel the need to speak up, why? All you do when you guys comment back is make it worse. You make us criticize ourselves more, which is why we come on here to not be criticized. So if you think these things, please keep them to yourself. You might think that you are saving the world when you stand up for what you believe is wrong, but truly, you are just hurting the person with the eating disorder more. Obviously everyone is different, and Ik this message doesn’t apply to everyone, but it does to quite a few of you.

But if you guys could keep your negative attitude and comments to yourself, please do! It isn’t right, and some of you guys are just plain bullies , who get satisfaction out of putting others down. Like to the anon that told @alookatmythoughts to shoot herself, again what the fuck! What part of you told you that that was okay! There most have been some part of you that is a bully or likes to put other people down. So I don’t care if you had a bad day to be completely honest (well to some degree I do) if you need help I’m here to listen :) but don’t take it out on others... please!! Just please be nice to others and allow them to be themselves without being damaging to people’s self esteem.

I know this is super long but if you could please reshare this! And read it lol. I feel as if this really needs to spread throughout the Ana community because what you guys are doing just isn’t okay.

Eating Disorder recovery isn't as easy as Tumblr says.

Sometimes it takes more than lifting weights, going vegan and making huge green smoothies.

Sometimes it’s ugly. It takes bingeing and junk food to teach you how not to restrict. It takes lazy days and Netflix and Pjs to teach you it’s OK NOT to go to the gym.

Sometimes progress stops. You gain weight. You lose weight. Its ok. What’s not ok is to stop fighting.

Reminder: Losing weight only makes you lighter. It doesn’t make you kinder, smarter, more creative, more passionate, more determined, or happier.
