I just want you all to know that there is life beyond your eating disorder. There is hope.
Your life will not always be numbers, body checks, obsessing over every little detail, binges or restriction, pain and suffering. I know it can feel like your ed is your home, who you should be, who you are. But it's not.
It may feel like you've lost yourself (or you've found yourself within this disorder), but I can promise you that you WILL find the real you again. You were not put on this earth to be sick. That is not your purpose in life.
It could feel like without this, there's nothing to you, that this is the only thing you can do right. It's not. There are so many wonderful things that make you you, and one of them is not your eating disorder.
In a weird way, it's kind of comforting, isn't it? It always trips me up to think about, but sometimes it feels like coming home after a long day and being able to drop your bags. But the thing is, there's no comfort to it at all. Our disorders are fantastic liars, and they've tricked us into think we need it, that without it, we're just a shell of a person. You don't need it, you've never needed it, and like I said previously, this disorder is not what makes you who you are. You do. Not anorexia, b.e.d, bulimia, orthorexia, or ednos.
You deserve a life not centered around food and the rules you've created. You deserve to be able to think about other things. To enjoy life again. Please don't let your ed tell you any differently.
Please reach out if you need someone to talk to or if you'd like to send an ask. I wish you all nothing but the best ♡

Fat people with BED, you are not "lesser" than people with other body types and forms of eating disorders. You are just as deserving of compassion and a fat positive care team as people with anorexia and thin people with eating disorders.

Stop glamorizing the past/when you were sick!!
I know this probably won’t be a popular post but it needs to be said. It’s so easy to think back about when you were in the depths of your ED and glamorize it because you were possibly in a smaller body, but it’s not worth it. You were also incredibly miserable in that smaller body. Try to remember the intense anxiety, the isolation, the hair loss, and the extreme exhaustion you felt 24/7. You become hangry, shaky, and overall unlike you.
Engaging in your ED means taking away the best parts of you, all for a smaller body. You cannot disrupt your inner peace and your ability to truly live life over a false sense of comfort.

Trying to become obsessed with self care the way I was obsessed with self destruction.

We’re not a happy family, it doesn’t matter how many times we reconcile with forgiving words, my cuts can’t be forgiven and neither can the blood of your child on your hands.

For my fellow former binge eaters who now have to check in with themselves when they find themselves feeling what might be a compulsive urge, here's a self care tip that works massively for me.
Remind yourself that while you're choosing not to start in this moment, you can eat at any time if you identify feelings of hunger.
It's hard at first, because your body will find it hard to regulate how much it has compulsions, but a lot of my former compulsions came from my body's trauma around putting myself through food restriction. In the long run, reminding myself that I am only making a momentary self-reflection choice and I can choose to eat once the moment has passed can help reframe my feelings around the scarcity mindset and help me feel like food is not my enemy. I still don't need to only eat at the "right" times, or resist for a certain length of times, or ignore my body's needs because I'm scared of bingeing. I can make a temporary self-care choice and then maybe five minutes later I'll make a different choice. My self-care is based on adapting to my changing needs in the moment.

It appears I officially have a recovery buddy for my ED.
We unknowingly dragged each other deeper and deeper into each other's ED issues over the years, but now we've collectively decided to support each other through recovery, and that we're gonna keep trying if the other tries as well...
Recovering hasn't crossed my mind in over 10 years but... perhaps it's time.

"my ed almost killed me" yeah well mine didn't. I was very much alive and "healthy." no one noticed I was struggling; I didn't get treatment until I asked for it myself because I didn't "look sick." and guess what! I still had to recover! I am still just as worthy of a better life, of a life free from my ed! you do not need to be near death to deserve recovery. you do not need to be medically compromised to deserve recovery. just because you can sustain this disease for what feels like forever doesn't mean that you should or that you need to. normalize recovering for reasons other than "I almost died."

positive & neutral affirmations for ed recovery pt. 2 
pt. 1 here
Neutral:
my recovery body may be different than I'm used to, but it's taking care of me
I deserve a life that does not revolve around my ed and ed behaviors
I deserve to have neutrality with food
I deserve to have body neutrality
I'm not content with my body yet, and that's okay
I'm content with my body, and that's okay
I am making good strides
relapsing does not take away the progress I have made
having a bad body image day/week/month/year does not mean my recovery isn't valid
my experience with my ed is valid, no matter what my life looked like at the time (or looks like)
my body takes care of me and loves me
missing my ed does not mean I'm failing at recovery
I am taking it day by day and I'm proud of myself
it's okay to be proud of myself for doing well
I'm going to be okay
I deserve good things
my body needs food
my body deserves all the nutrients it needs
Positive:
my recovery body may look different than it ever has before, but it's beautiful and deserving of love
I deserve to have food freedom
I deserve to experience body positivity
I like my body
I love my body
no matter what weight/size I am, I'm gorgeous/handsome none the less
relapsing doesn't take away the progress I've made in my recovery
having a bad body image day/week/month/year does not mean my recovery is valid
my experience with my ed is valid, no matter what my life looked like at the time (or looks like)
my body loves me and takes care of me, no matter what
I'm doing well and I'm proud of myself
there is no size limit on beauty
I'll make it out of this
I deserve to eat when I'm hungry
I deserve a good, well rounded life
I can eat food I love
I can wear the clothes I want
I'm confident (or I can learn to be)
For all:
No one deserves an eating disorder (if you're thinking yes, you don't!!)
I deserve happiness
I deserve recovery
my ed is not part of my identity
it does not define me
It's going to be okay
I'll make it out of this
I deserve to live
I can face my fear foods
I am strong enough to make it through my ed
if you need help, please feel free to message me or send an ask <3

Just a reminder that your eating disorder will not give you the sense of control you’re looking for.

I fail everyday over and over. October was supposed to be my month and all I've done is gained. I had lost almost 20 pounds and now I'm too scared to step on the scale because I've regained at least 5. I don't want to be her anymore. I don't want to go back. I'm so embarrassed that everyone else on here is eating 200 cals a day and feeling guilty about that while I binge for a week and a half straight eating almost 3000. 3000 cals. What's wrong with me? Every day is my day, the day I finally get serious again. Then something happens. Something happens and my cals are off or I can't track them properly and BOOM! It all blows up in my face. And it's all my fault. Looking back, I wish I hadn't felt insecure at 133 and had just kept going on the track I was on. Last time I weighed myself I was 138 and that was a while ago. I haven't been able to step on the scale because if I see the 140s again I don't think I'll be able to take it. Ik that a week and a half of eating in a >1000 calorie surplus isn't enough to gain even 3 full pounds, but I'm just so disappointed. I ask myself, why can't you change? But I always know the answer. "You don't care." Yeah, I'm scared out of my mind to regain all the weight that I worked so hard for, but that part of me, the part I thought I had buried so long ago, she always comes back. Always lurks. I won't be her again. Never. I deserve better. I don't deserve to be afraid my double chin is showing, or to suck in all day. Overeating has ruined me. I feel sick after I consume anything, yet food controls me to the point of continuing through the nasuea. I wish I was skinny, I wish I was slim, I wish and I wish over and over again, but I never change. I won't do this anymore. I can't do this anymore.
