💜 Low quality pictures, high quality body! 💛

Upgrading time!

(The GIF has no relevance, I thought it was cute).

Hey everyone! I have decided to make some changes to this account in order to bring in more traffic and more people into a non-toxic eating disorder community. I have been so happy with the interaction from the ed community. It is such an invisible disorder until it is not so I truly appreciate all of the invisible warriors (sorry if that sounds corny but it's true!) who support my content in any way. <3

Some changes I would like to emphasize:

There is now an anonymous "ask me" section. Feel free to ask about any recovery advice OR share some personal stories about a topic in the eating disorder community!

I will change the weekly polls to bi-weekly. The weeks in between will be a dedicated space for my followers/invisible warriors to share or ask questions about the ed-community.

Those are all of the changes for now. To keep full transparency I will blaze this post but it will be the last blazed post in a while. I want to reach out to as many people in the community who want to be a part of the good energy and vibes I intend to create on this blog.

<3

Good morning

So I’ve been seeing a lot of posts addressing fatphobia, which is great, but some of them take a turn into shaming anyone with insecurities about their weight and basically telling them to get over it, which really isn’t helpful. Also, while I can totally understand not wanting ed blogs interacting with you, I feel like this site has started to moralize eating disorders without fully understanding why they occur. And just like it can be harmful to moralize addiction and other mental illnesses, I think it’s ultimately a bad idea to start moralizing eating disorders (i.e., treating people who have them like they can just choose to get over them), especially when you take into account that certain cultures or upbringings (such as abusive upbringings) can influence how you look at your body. It just seems like a lot of modern-day body positivity activism has lost a lot of empathy for other people and ignores the nuance of an individual's situation. Addressing your own body insecurities can be an incredibly personal and difficult thing, especially in a society that profits off of them, and if we keep ignoring the root problems of how they occur in the first place, I don’t think we’re ever going to fix them within our society.

Between you and me, I’ve never watched a NASCAR race a day in my life.

I’m proud of myself for finally gaining enough weight to be healthy. It sucks that people have always tried to tell me stuff like “you’re so thin, you’re healthy, why would you want to gain weight?” I didn’t feel healthy. I could feel my bones when I sat on a hard seat. My friends said I was stabbing them with my bones when I hugged them. I was cold often, and always had to wear layers because I just couldn’t regulate my body heat well. I felt like I could never finish a plate of food. I remember as a kid my friends letting themselves sink to the bottom of the pool to show off what they could do at the bottom, I quite literally couldn’t reach the bottom. With a lung full of air I didn’t have enough muscle or fat to sink. I regularly had to fight the wind to stay upright, both as a kid and as an adult.

When I excitedly pointed out my belly rolls, the fact that I’ve never had more than one or two, she started comforting me. Why does our society teach us that we have to always be loosing weight or be super skinny. I’ve never been happier and wear my tummy and my stretch marks happily. I don’t worry when I hug my friends anymore. I can wear tank tops and crop tops without freezing. There are even bonuses I never thought of before. My stretch marks have a really interesting texture, and hammocks and swings are much more comfortable. I don’t bruise as easily anymore. And I’m happier. I’m so much happier with my body.

My body isn’t perfect, it will never be exactly what I want it to be. But it’s starting to feel more cozy. It’s practical. I feel a little more at home.
