The "skinny thighs" photos are back…
Tumblr media
As a short round and fairly muscular (from running) teen the skinny thigh photos used to really mess with my head. Why couldn't my legs look anything like that? In fact, my legs looked like they came out of a totally different mould. Legs from another planet. Even when I was underweight and *not* healthy never got close to a "thigh gap" -- Seeing that the trend is still around along with text along the lines of "just loose enough weight and this can be you" I want to point out that this just isn't true for some people. (If finding that out feels unfair, like a horrible blow-- as it would have to me at that age you have a lot of self acceptance work to do. And -- you might not be able to really see yourself it will take time but it's a good journey I promise!) Also, and this is probably obvious, but the shape of a thigh can change a lot based on how you hold it. I would sit wondering why my legs pressed down't didn't look like legs carefully positioned to look slim from that angle.
Tumblr media
When I figured this out I felt like I'd be tricked! (If this makes me sound kind of naive ... well I was. ) At this point in my life I like my wide thighs. I really like that my legs stay curvy no matter what weight I'm at. Should everyone have to look the same to look good? Bean pole legs, chubby legs, maybe I just like legs in general. It's not my fault that there aren't many short people who are models or fashion icons. Why did I let anyone ever convince me of anything else?

Went out for lunch today with friends. I ordered the same thing as everyone else.
I ended up getting a deep fried, battered chicken with rice and a sickly sweet sauce. Plus extra fried dumplings. Now, I have absolutely no issues against those foods, but I just genuinely do not enjoy them.
But I still ate it all anyway, and am not going to regret it, or feel like I missed out on food I would enjoy.
Meals like that happen sometimes and it's perfectly ok

Shoutout to people who “just” have anxiety and depression. I’m sorry the severity of your disorders are downplayed. I know from personal experience, when I was dealing with “just” anxiety and depression, that this was something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Depression is severe. Anxiety is severe. There is no “just” anxiety and depression.

You’ve done nothing wrong by eating. The guilt and discomfort will pass so please be kind to yourself.

It’s easy to feel invisible, but if you disappeared so many people would notice and care. The neighbors who always see you walk by, the shop owner or the cashier at your grocery store, the dog next door that likes to bark at you, the person at work or school who’s still working up the courage to talk to you, the friends you think forgot about you when you lost track of each other, the babysitter you had when you were four. You have touched a million lives in perfect little ways. Do not underestimate your importance in this world, you deserve to be here and you are wanted here.

Something I have noticed since recovery is that happiness feels different. 
Before recovery. I thought I had a body that would make me happy (and the truth is it did sometimes). 
But now,as I sit in my healing body, happiness is a very different thing. Yes, I am a larger dress side, but I am also just sitting here in bed thinking about how much I love my friends after we went out for a meal together. I also really enjoyed the weather today, and I love the movie I am watching. Just all these sparks of happiness keep happening, and they all feel so rich and bright and stay with me. 
It’s made me realise that the happiness I felt in my old body was dull. It was just flickers that never lasted long. 
It’s like having a healthy, strong body is what’s needed to store your happiness properly.

I hate living in extremes
Its either starving or binging
Its either full recovery or full relapse
I can’t go in between, it feels like failing if I do

daily reminder, food is not your enemy, the number on scale doesn't define you as a person, the size of your clothing has nothing to do with your personality, and if you struggle with ed, recovery, body image issues or body dysmorphia, i hope it will pass and one day it will become a distant memory for us.
