if you're gaining weight in recovery and feel bad about it, that's your body trying to keep you alive. I know it's extremely difficult to deal with your body changing, especially because our disorders are so image based, but your body isn't thinking about that. Its sole purpose is to keep you alive, and that's what it's doing for you.
Your body may not be able to trust you right now, and if you feel out of control, that could be why. But don't worry, a day will come where it can begin to rely on you again to give it what it needs.

throw away that scale, do not step at this every single day, do not count every gram of food you eat, do not put it in your calories counting app, instead count memories, taste, moments, spend time with yourself and people. at the age of 70 do you want to have memories of you feeling good and happy or counting every food you ate? to this age your body will change so many times no matter how much you will try for it to do not do it.

wanna know the number one thing that helped me get out of my ed? getting rid of the numbers. deleting my calorie tracking app. stopping weighing myself. stopping counting out nuts or weighing food or whatever. i cannot reccomend this enough.
dont just stop doing it - make it impossible. have someone hide your kitchen and bathroom scales, or get rid of them. scratch nutrition information off packaging. get rid of those numbers.

accidentally found my friends twitter account that she never showed anyone, and now all my theories have become true just by seeing her bio ( I didn't go in to her account, I would never want them to find my tumblr so I will not to that to them), I don't know what to do or how to be there for her. how the hell do you subtly help your friend with an ED without making it obvious or pressuring? please help

Not sure if it'll help anyone else but I've found I'm less likely to try purging, let alone have any success, with longer nails. Makes me want to scream sometimes yk but the goal *is* to stop

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 ♡

i overcome eating disorder, i overcome calories counting, i overcome weighting myself every single day, i overcome restriction, i overcome everything that comes along with ed but am i healed?
no, i am not, i strongly believe that you can not heal from ed, you are just learning how to mute it and live life, i still have relapses, i still have bad thoughts, i still have body dysmorphia, i still struggle.
but i learned, that my body is the only body i got in this life, i am not getting another chance in living. I gained some weight, i am fatter than i used to be and there are days when i am unhappy about it, but i also learned how to be just fine, because you do not have to love your body to live a good life. I just have a body and in order to live life in a peace i need to accept it, that is all, i do not want to be positive and loving towards it when i do not feel like it.

♡ — motivation :
cant wait to be able to sit in any position comfortably .
cant wait to have long thin fingers that look good even w/o nails .
cant wait to start viewing food as a source of energy and not a source of comfort .
cant wait to look thin and dainty instead of wide and inelegant .
cant wait to eat comfortably without feeling disgusted w myself .
cant wait to eat in public shamelessly .
cant wait to be able to ask for more food with no shame .
cant wait to stop feeling the need to make space for people and make people feel the need to make space for me .
cant wait to stop making them look thinner and start making them look fatter next to me .
cant wait to start looking thinner in baggy clothes rather than fatter .
cant wait to feel like ive done something right for once .

5/18 day 2 entry
Today was weird I got my prom dress altered and the lady doing it and my mom were fighting over weather or not I need to loose weight. My mom said 15lb and the lady said don’t I’m perfect and the dress fits perfect plus it would cost more if I lost weight. Now I’m torn. But hearing my mom say I need to loose weight hurt and fueled me .
What I ate- (omad)
2 cups of strawberries
Sunny side up eggs with toast + hot sauce
96oz of water
156lb
For reference This is the dress
