Eating Disorder

honey, please listen to your body and eat. even if it’s small, like toast. or something green or sweet. it doesn’t matter, it matters that you fuel yourself. i know it’s hard, trust me i know. but whatever your goal is, ask yourself, is this goal benefiting my well-being or my ED? i look at my ED as a separate being than myself, and it’s mean and nasty and manipulative. and it’s been hard but i’ve started to fight against it and prove it wrong. our body’s are just vessels to carry our souls in, the better we treat them the better our soul feels. this isn’t coming from some empty, toxic positivity— i’ve been suffering from ED for 9ish years. the one thing that has helped me the most is just trying to be kinder to myself. it won’t always be easy, i don’t always succeed. but i’m always trying. trying to remind myself “i deserve to eat. my body deserves fuel.”

@AsianSunshine i struggle with binging too :// something that’s helped me is to not be holding food/utensils while i chew. it’s a lil awkward having loose leaf hands but it helps slow things down
@AsianSunshine look at the positives.. you are when you were hungry. first step 🫶
@Madison_M yes thanks

@Madison_M i’m glad it helped you sweetheart 💓 it’s a scary thing to go through, but you’ll get through it. it’s one day at a time, one step at a time. if you ever need to talk to someone about it my chats are open. i’ve been struggling with it for most of my life, i’m not perfect but i have a lot of tools that have helped me with recovery. just remember: this is an illness, it is not a reflection of who you are as a person. healing is not linear and it’s okay to take your time.
