NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS'
i’m that one ana who gets annoyed when someone says their hungry.
To all of you struggling with your bodies, keep going. You will never regret choosing to live. I love each and every one of you 💛
Nothing hurts quite like watching your loved ones enjoy delicious food that you'd do almost anything to eat while you starve and envy them and your stomach churns, empty with acid and consuming itself.
You don't want this. No one should covet Anorexia Nervosa, or any ED. They are pain and suffering and misery. Get out while you can. Get out before it's a disorder and no longer a crash diet that you started just to lose a few pounds. It's not worth it.
Fight. Please. For those of us who know nothing else anymore, fight for your life. Because if you don't fight, the only way out is a slow and painful death. Please don't give up, it's never too late but it does get harder and harder the longer you suffer. Get help.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're 11-18, you don't need to be worrying about your body. You are a child. You are going to change so much in the next couple of years, so give yourself some time. Feed yourself for all of the changes your body is going through. You don't need to have slim thighs, bigger breasts, a smaller waist, toned arms, a round butt, abs, or any of the standards the world has used to lie to you. You also should not be comparing yourself TO ANYONE. Not the sophomore you pass by in the hallways, not the actress on the TV, not even your sister. People that are younger than you, your age, or especially if they are older, don't compare yourself to them. You don't understand the difference just a few years can make. I cannot tell you how much I changed from age 13 to 14 years old, both mentally and physically. That's only one year of time. And please do not compare yourself to adults. Even if you aren't 11-18, there is still no reason to compare yourself. Be kind to yourself. Please. You are so much more than your body. I know it doesn't feel that way but I promise.
"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
First of all, that's a load of bullshit. And second there are so many things in this world worth your time more than 'being skinny'. There's the feeling of a full, warm stomach after eating until you are satisfied. There's not being cold all of the time. There's having the energy to play sports, do fun activities, or just walk up the damn stairs. There's not being distracted when you're talking with your friends; or eating your favorite foods with loved ones instead of sitting awkwardly while you try not to think about your stomach rumbling. Enjoy every second you have of this short life. There is so much life to live. I know you are wondering what life but it's there. Choose recovery, choose to live. I swear you will never regret it. If you are full for even one hour, if you are happy for just one moment, it's worth it. If I could hug every one of you I would.
(I'm tagging this under 'thinspo' so that all of the girls that are reading and being brainwashed by these disgusting, an0rexia promoting posts find this and with it some comfort.)
This makes me so happy and I wish this for every person. 🫶🩷
I ate so much yesterday. My eating disorder wanted to be really upset about it, but I found the strength to LITERALLY say "Fuck you eating disorder. Food is the least interesting thing about the day."
We opened the musical I'm working on! I spent time with friends at the after party! I played games and had a couple drinks. I laughed and took fun pictures with people I care about!
I won't remember everything I ate yesterday but I will remember the fun I had
Affirmations for EDs. Even if you don't believe them now, say them and work towards believing them one day
1. I do not need to have an excuse for being hungry
2. Eating will let me enjoy life
3. Eating will help the people I love
4. I do not deserve to feel pain
5. Just because this amount made me feel good yesterday doesn't mean it's enough for today
6. 'Being good' is not how long I exercise or how little I eat
7. Starvation does not protect me
8. Being thin won't fix my struggles
9. No one needs to be perfect
I can't emphasize this enough! People will even say it's a 'good thing'🫠
People always ignore/minimize starvation as a form of SH. People with ED who skip meals are just as self-destructive and deserving of concern/attention as people with depression who cut, yet people will see someone cutting and make a huge deal, then see someone starve themselves and not care. Bonus points if you're seen as fat because people will literally not gaf no matter how much you starve.
Two pounds a day will make your doctor worry but that's okay.

The haunting disorder
It was getting better. I was getting better, I’ve been eating healthy and working out. I was done with binging and restricting. But I can’t. I just can’t. I’ve been dealing with this disorder for 6 years now. You can’t leave it. You can’t get away from it. No matter how hard you try. It won’t leave. It’ll always be haunting you.
