so much ED helping and recovery stuff is based on acquired EDs. Talking about being happy in your body and the like.
This is, of course, a good thing.
However it's entirely unhelpful for working through ARFID.

This is probably a known thing but if you're recovering from an ED, you should not see a nutritionist. It will make things worse.
About a year ago, I tried seeing a nutritionist about my diet bc I felt like I needed to recover from the lingering issues I was having from going through high school with deipnophobia and borderline orthorexia.
I spent a month restricting my portions and food choices on her orders and was then scolded for eating crackers when I had a migraine and couldn't keep anything else down. She tried pushing me to cut red meat from my diet when I am prone to anemia, and also told me that I can't bake at all, despite it being stress relief for me.
To put it bluntly, I got very close to relapsing, and I haven't had a panic attack about eating in public since I was 20. I wouldn't classify experience as a teenager as severe, but my issues came close to coming back.
Nutritionists aren't licensed doctors, and if you're recovering from an ED, a lot of their advice will sound like stuff you have told yourself in the past about food. My sister also stopped going to the same nutritionist when her already adversarial relationship with food was encouraged. Nutritionists do not want you to have a healthy relationship with food, otherwise they wouldn't be encouraging food restrictions like the ones that influenced my high school issues with eating.
And I think anyone recovering from orthorexia or anorexia knows that kind of restriction is wildly unsafe. The nutritionist knew I was recovered and restrictions were unsafe; she pushed them anyway.

Just give him a lil soft hug back, bas.
"Okay...
... huh? I don't think I've ever noticed it before, but I can't really feel his bones through his skin anymore... He's eating more... I'm glad..."

I know my art isn't that good but I'm trying to have fun! I haven't been doing so mentally that great for lots of reasons (and been trying to avoid going back to my past of an ED) but I can't stop thinking about Vash smiling, my fav characters and even my own ocs. My friends that care for me, the help I have available to me. I have an appointment today with my psychologist and I really really hope I can feel better soon. I'm just...I'm both a little sad that I'm like this, but I'm even more grateful I've made it this far. I've been through a lot, and I guess just writing out my thoughts kinda help me get this off of my chest. I hope I can get to where I want to be, and I'll be happy too. I'm barely 22, and I have my whole life ahead of me.

*staring at myself in the bathroom mirror, gritting my teeth, crushing the edge of the sink until the porcelain splinters* I will not let diet culture win. I will not let diet culture win. I will not let diet culture win. I will not let diet culture win.

another grocery haul
lazy, sick & depressed edition
is it:
stress?
allergies?
common cold?
well it's definitely NOT covid. Took an at-home 4 months expired test
3 hours of sleep last night, laying in bed for 2 hours til my alarm goes off. Just racing thoughts of how I try so hard to make changes in my life for the better just for things to backfire and just begging God to show me he hasn't abandoned me 🫠
But hey nutritional food I actually enjoy and am excited to eat 😋

Food needs to feel clean
And by that I mean sterile
No contact
Gloves on
Potatoes washed then peeled then washed again
Fruit must be intact
None of this frozen or warmed torment
Nothing boiled, because the water changes it’s nature.
Changes the landscape into swamp and if I eat it the creatures of such a habitat would grow in my stomach.
Claw through my veins.
Bite at my soft parts.
You see,
I am a hospital
I am full of ill and I am searching for the cure to everything
I am machine cut from my crib
And I do not cook with love
How cold my heart must be
But I did not ask for these rules
I did not prepare for this
My body is the unwashed dishes in the sink
And my hands cannot take the hot water needed to clean them.

I'm weight restored and back to a normal bmi. mentally, I feel awful about it, but recovering physically is great. I still have GI issues, but I can sleep, run, carry heavy things without fainting, and don't have my daily "is this a heart attack or am I just freaking out" moment, my hair stopped falling out, etc. A part of me really wants to recover. I want my body and brain to work together.
I don't expect anyone to see this post, it's just a scribble for myself. But if you do, the physical effects of starvation take a huge toll, even if it's become your 'normal'. Our bodies' capability to recover from our self-abuse is amazing.

being in eating disorder recovery is hilarious bc I “eat whatever I want” and “whatever I want” is nighttime apple sauce. Like oooooo I used to be afraid of apple sauce at NIGHT. How terrifying.

Btw people who have recovered from an eating disorder are allowed to say no to a portion of food they don’t want.
