I feel full of dread recently, technically I am supposed to be happy; because I have what I need and I take steps to slowly regain control over my life and my future, but I donāt feel happy.
During the last days, even weeks I didnāt really engage in my usual habits regarding my eating disorder, although I still had the same thoughts about what I want to achieve.
I want to lose weight, I want to dress well, I want to stop making excuses, I want to stop overeating, overspending, overreacting. I finally want to āfixā everything that I see as faulty, dirty in myself.
At this point it feels almost sarcastic to try again, no write down new rules for myself, new goals, because I failed time and time again and there is always that voice that tells me: āYou wonāt succeedā
I am going to try anyway. I am going to try slower and hope that more realm for realism will keep me able to get through it and make it a habit. I will ignore when that voice comments on how I could work harder, could have results quicker; because I know itās a trap. I know pushing myself to hard doesnāt make me stronger, it makes me give up and binge, it makes me manipulate me own success. Denying myself on chocolate bar I would enjoy consciously wonāt make me succeed.
I donāt think I am recovering in anyway because the only reason I try to approach things more balanced is to reach my deeply disordered ideal but I think itās better than before or now.
Hi hello hey, been a long time since I've been thereā¦
I now have a full time job which I love, great colleges/friends, my own appartment andā¦ a rather healthy life ?
I go to the gym 3/time a week bc now I have money for the gym, I exercise for pleasure (and bc I still want a snatched waist ngl) and I eat almost without counting.
And omg I feel so free, I haven't weight myself since I moved out so I have no idea how much I weight but I rather measure with my clothes and how I feel, and I feel great. I wanted to come back here bc well you're never 100% recovered and I love me some unhealthy tumblr but I'm not going back to my bullshit, never I hope.
Wishing the best to all the struggling souls out there <3
Things that help me feel less anxious about traveling
I always feel really anxious when traveling, I have a sort of fear of missing something when Iām not there, and also Iām always picturing what could go wrong and really stressing about money (when I can purchase 100ā¬ of clothes in one stand like itās nothing) so I have a few tricks that can help when you are in the same caseā¦
I always plan all of my week before departure : what Iām gonna do say to day before leaving for my vacation
I always plan the vacation, even if I know itās not going to be like this it calms me down to do this, my best friend knows it and always tries to tell me what we are going to do when arrived
I always make a really precise list of all Iām going to put in my suitcase
Looking up food thatāll be there and their calories to be unbothered and unstressed when I have to order at a restaurant
Elaborating a financial plan, money is one of the thing that makes me the most anxious so I like planning what my bank account will look like when I come back (I have a problem with impulsive decisions bc of my disease so I spend a lot of money for nothing and I struggle to control it)
Hope it can help some of you during this periode of traveling, will had some if I can think of it, stay safe
So Iāve actually been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, which also explain my Edā¦ and with my new meds apparently everything should fall into place. After 10 years of suffering I finally know why Iām like I am, that Iām not a monster and that my feelings are valid. I hope this constant feeling of emptiness and anger and the constant need to kill myself will finally go away, I need it so much. I canāt take it anymore
My boyfriend broke up with me by message and I saw him yesterday at the train station with a new girl. Iām in such pain I think that triggered my suicide attempt as wellā¦
Iām back from the hospital, I threw myself under a car last night during a manic phase. I tried to strangle my best friend. Iām going to have new meds bc now Iām diagnosted with bipolarity disorder with extreme paranoia. Itās my 7th suicide attempt. My parents are so loving and I feel so bad to do that to them, my mum took some days off work to take care of me. I hope the new meds will finally make me happyā¦
So i have a new obsession which is this recipe, itās Korean with two main ingredients : tofu and Gochujang. I made it today and calculated all the calories in it
āØItās 400 for two servingsāØ
I know itās pretty high for some people but itās so filling and comforting. You can eat it with konjac noodles for a 220 calories meal or on its own for 400 or with rice like I did for 395 (I ate 130g of rice).
You will need
125g of tofu (182 calories)
Oil to fry the tofu and the onion(60 calories)
One onion (I didnāt have any today so I used shallots : 20 calories)
Gochujang paste (80 calories for one spoon)
Sesame oil (for a toasty taste : one spoon : 45 calories)
soy sauce and rice vinegar (one spoon each, maybe more for vinegar, I added nuoc mam because I love the taste)
Water for the marinade (very important or else it will just be a paste)
You first fry the tofu and the onion in an lightly oiled pan, then you put it on a absorbant paper and you put it back in the pan with the marinade, I did a video so you understand better.
Hope you enjoy it, keeps me full until dinner and itās really comforting and healthy. Stay safe ā¤ļø here you can find a pic of the finish dish and a video with the steps
Also idk if Iām the only one, but Iām bi and I love girls etc but itās been so hard for me to be in intimate relationship with girls because I always think they are better looking than me and find me disgusting and gross compared to them.
I had sex yesterday, been a really long time (5/6 months) because I couldnāt bare being seen naked by someone, but I managed to deal with the fear. It was awesome, had a date with a guy from tinder who was so cute and nice. Really proud of myself for managing my fear, I love sex but hating your body makes it so difficult. Iām always picturing the worst like the person is going to kick me out of their house because Iām too fat for them or something. Normal stuff cool cool cool cool.

I started eating again in October this year, first I regained a lot of weight, Ā«Ā lost my progressĀ Ā» as you can say, but feeding myself properly as led me to be on the top of my class, getting the best grades Iāve ever had, having amazing ideas for my work and my end of the year school project, upgrade my mood, made me want to exercise for pleasure and health rather than for punishment or because I need a excuse to be able to eat. I had to learn to eat again, try to listen to my body, and Iām still learning and I can relapse at every moment. Iām not telling you what to do I just want to exteriorise this.
Eating is not Ā«Ā badĀ Ā», it shouldnāt be seen as something other than itās really is, something that you need and that can also give you pleasure. My body well, Iām still learning to like it or change it in an healthier way. Itās slow and what used to take 1 month to loose, Iām taking 4/5 month to loose it, but I wonāt gain it back as soon as Iām done, I can eat and I have to remind myself that one day at 3000 calories because I celebrated the end of my student life doesnāt set me back. Calories should not be counted on days anyway itās too irregular.
I donāt think any of this is coherent or means anything but I needed to talk and vent
Still doing my healthyish weight loss (exercising and eating more calories than I used to -> around 1500 per day) itās really hard to force myself to eat more and frustrating because I know I could do it faster but I want to be healthy and maintain my weight loss. I feel really fat and bloated, taking pics every month kind of helps because I donāt feel like Iām loosing weight (I lost like 1 kg) since last month. Since Iām doing a lot of weight training and HIIT I think Iām just loosing fat which is good. I had a really hard month, itās the last week of my whole scholarship so really stressful (lots of stressbinges). But I maintained the efforts And I will continue, even if itās really slow and hard.
First pic 31st of January 2021, second one : 28th of February 2021. (I also lost like 2 skin tones apparently). Gained some booty as well. I hope my stomach fat will be gone by June.
this might be a stupid question but when you say oignon powder do you mean onion because i have no idea what oignon is and i can't find anything online about it
Yesss sorry Iām French we like to complicate words
