Instead of choosing an intensive, unrealistic, or punishing goal this New Year ask yourself: What is one simple thing that would enrich my life this new year? Maybe you can do three paintings this year. Maybe you can buy and care for a potted plant. Maybe you can learn to cook one meal exceptionally well. You don't need to push yourself to the brink. Let's stop committing to punishing goals based on insecurity and start asking what will enrich our lives.

I'm so fucking mad about how pervasive diet culture is. Like this shit is literally killing people in so many different ways but I can't open up a recipe book or grocery store magazine without reading words like 'bad' and 'sinful' and 'guilty/guilt free'. Like what the honest fuck is that?

And trying to recover from an eating disorder in that environment is like, I don't know, trying to recover from ingesting poison when the whole world wants to sell you repacked poison pills as pseudo scientific health supplements. And the poison pill industry is worth billions. And everyone around you is talking about how they wished they had the willpower to ingest poison, and sharing tips on how to make the poison go down smoother.

If you're currently recovering despite it all you are brave and powerful and strong as fuck. Don't let anyone diminish that.

daily reminder, food is not your enemy, the number on scale doesn't define you as a person, the size of your clothing has nothing to do with your personality, and if you struggle with ed, recovery, body image issues or body dysmorphia, i hope it will pass and one day it will become a distant memory for us.

I need people to realize that binge eating disorders aren’t just ‘overeating’. this is a disability, this is a mental illness, it is a disorder, not a moral failing and people, esp fat people, with it are not pathetic or weak willed or gluttonous or disgusting. We’re people, and deserve to be treated as such.

Support your friends who binge. Don’t make assumptions. Do research and watch out for fatphobia and diet culture centered rhetoric. Respect us, regardless on how or why or when we do or do not recover. Show us love, because god knows very few people do

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

A shout out to the people in recovery for an eating disorder who are being pressured to lose weight and chase thinness even more than usual due to the New Years holiday. And a special shout out to the fat people in recovery for eating disorders who have to deal with fatphobia on top of it all and even more weight loss encouragement than other people. If you relapse, please know that it is not recovery ending. As you've likely heard, recovery is not linear. You will get back up eventually and make it out of your disorder alive.

Project HEAL offers one-time Cash Assistance grants of $500-$1,500 to individuals who are unable to afford tertiary costs related to their treatment, i.e., housing and travel costs or insurance deductibles.

i keep thinking i don't deserve to get better because my condition (addiction/alcoholism) isn't bad enough. because there are people who've been in it for longer than me, people who've gone places i didn't, people who've done things i haven't done, etc. etc. and for anyone in a similar situation: how much pain would be enough?

is it enough once it consumes your every waking moment? once it makes you want to die? once it puts your life in imminent danger? once you overdose? once you're hospitalized? again? two times, three times, four times? how much pain would you have to be in for what you're going through now to matter?

odds are, you don't have an answer, or the answer is death - even if you don't think that's your answer, by thinking it needs to be worse - at least in regards to things like addiction, self harm, eating disorders, etc. - if no amount of pain would ever be enough, you'd be driving yourself right to death. that is the end-of-the-line expression of pain, and the end-point for an unfortunate amount of untreated, severe conditions.

but there is another, healthier version of expressing your pain that validates it: actually acknowledging it at the least, and ideally seeking recovery. by saying something like "i need/want to recover," or even something like "im not ready to recover BUT"... the implication there is that what you're facing is awful and needs to change. it's something that needs recovering from because it's painful - painful enough to warrant action being taken.

and that's true for any condition. if it's hurting you, you need and deserve to take steps to make your life better. you need and deserve help and support. even if it can't (or shouldn't be) cured or recovered from, whatever struggle you're going through is enough. it's enough. even if i don't believe it for myself, i'm trying, and we'll try together until we believe it. okay? you're not alone.

You will never have it all figured out. That can be an uncomfortable truth to accept, but remember that the goal is not to be prepared for everything. It is simply to be capable of responding healthily to the unexpected.
