We live in a culture that romanticizes illness. I hope you learn to romanticize your healing, however that looks for you.

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.

For the love of fucking everything PLEASE STOP adding recovery tags onto thinspo and “pro ed” posts. Oh my god stop adding them onto posts that are triggering, and posts that will fucking encourage disordered eating. Recovery tags should not be filled with pro ed blog posts and triggering shit that can cause relapses.

All my body ever wanted was to be my home. All it ever asked for was to be taken care of. And i was cruel to it. I was cruel to it because others were cruel to me. I couldn't control the way they treated me so I controlled my body instead. Except i didn't. Not really. My ed controlled me. No more. My body is my home and i should love it for that. I should nourish it and take care of it. And I will.

It's EDAW (eating disorder awareness week) so here's some friendly reminders for those in and those without an ED:
nobody is born hating their body, it's not a default coping skill to control our body until society, peers, and parents teach us to
EDs are a survival mechanism and coping skill, allbeit unhealthy, not a choice
It's not as simple as "just eat"
Eating and weight gain does not mean someone is recovered
We all eat. Otherwise we'd be dead. Eating something doesn't invalidate the fact that we have an ED
Accepting your body can look like tolerating it. You don't always have to love how it looks. It's largely about caring for what you body does for you
You don't need to be hospitalized or underweight to have an ED and deserve help
These disorders feel so fucking lonely
You've probably done more damage than you'll realize until recovery. You can have lifelong issues even after full recovery
It gets easier 💜 and recovery is possible
You don't need to exercise or do anything else to deserve food
You are not more loveable when you're sick. Those that really love you want to see you happy and healthy
Don't post body checks / sick pics. Don't post thinspo. Don't post anything with the intent of worsening someone's relationship with their body/food.

Sending all the love to fat people with anorexia. Sending all the love to fat people with bulimia. Your eating disorder is just as serious as it would be in a thin person, and you deserve just as much support and help in your recovery. I know you don't get that experience when you get sick, and you definitely don't get to experience those positive healing vibes when you choose recovery and stop losing weight. Just know that I see you, that I know it's not fair, and that I believe in your immense worth and the worth of your recovery journey.

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 ♡

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.

Ordered new clothes to accomidate my recovery weight gain. This was...agonizing for me. It took several days to be able to. I had a panic attack. I was crying. I maintained my weight for years, making me realise just how long i have been sick. I don't think the people in my life realise just how difficult this decision was. To them it is an "of course" situation. Logical.
Trying to not let this cause me to relapse. It simply means I will be in comfortable clothes. It means my body is healing. It means I am recovering.
