I May Be at a 'Healthy' Weight, but I Still Have Anorexia

Personally, I find it difficult to move away from the stereotype of eating disorders. It feels as if I’m under scrutiny for no longer “looking” anorexic. And this is a problem. Although I do in fact have the primary diagnosis of anorexia nervosa, the fact I feel I need to justify my eating disorder is [...]

What My 'Before and After' Picture Would Be for Anorexia Recovery

We’ve all seen those before and after pictures. A person shares two picture of themselves — most likely in the same outfit — and places them side-by-side. The picture on the left is before their diet, exercise program, cleanse, etc. The one on the right is the results after. In addition to their bodies looking a little different, their [...]

Deciding to Stay Alive After Choosing a Palliative Care Route With Anorexia

July 2019. It’s been a year. It’s been a year of something. It was truly a light in a season of dark and broken places. A life-changing, heartbreaking, mind-blowing and lifesaving something. On July 23, 2018, after very careful thought and consideration and many, many tears, I felt my brain just “was” and would never [...]

What's Up Wednesday 😀- The trap of comparison

Comparison is a trap most of us fall into without realizing it & it's something we can work on; I love this quote. The ☀️ sun & the 🌙 are so vastly different that no one ever compares them, yet they serve equally important purposes.

Who you are is special just because you're you, and you shine in your own way. ✨

Making good progess!!

You guys, I've been in eating disorder recovery for a month now, and I've been doing amazing! I've been eating regular, substantial meals, haven't weighed myself, attended support groups and appointments, (virtually since I'm recovering from a car accident injury) and working on my Tumblr blog for ED survivors. I feel really proud of myself and just wanted to share this. Just a few months ago I was completely starving myself and I was miserable. Now I'm learning to love myself day by day, and the positivity is bleeding out into every other aspect of my life. I no longer identify with having an eating disorder, I consider myself as recovered. Recovery is an action, a choice we make each day. I noticed I'm also healed from and being healed from all these other diagnoses that were negatively impacting my life, too. PTSD no longer has any hold on me, and neither does depression.

Thankful Thursday 😀

Today I wanted to ask you to share a glimmer ✨ something Mighty Leader @miss_krissy has taught us❣️
For me, this is my glimmer today. Having a friend/partner who loves doing simple things together like running errands or grocery shopping or washing dishes together.

What's you're glimmer today? (A glimmer is anything that calms your nervous system & makes you feel lighter. Think the opposite of a trigger)

Tip Tuesday ✨

This is hands down the best mental health advice I received (in somewhat of a tough love form) from my therapist when I was going through a super dark season. I kept waiting to feel better to live. The problem was, it doesn't work that way.

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Motivation Monday- Focus on What You Can Control

How much easier would life be if we just focused on what we could control instead of fighting against how life happens to us?
I think it's is a really positive reframe that would really be worth trying!

🌶️ Spicy ways to respond when someone suggests you need to lose weight

"Aw hell nah, there ain't enough of me to go round as it is."
.
.
"All my awesomeness wouldn't fit in a smaller body."
.
.
"Nope. I'm here proudly taking up space."
.
.
"I'm perfect as I am."
.
.
" Where'd you get your medical degree?"
.
.
"I’m comfortable with who I am, and that’s something you can’t criticize."
.
.
"My body isn't an apology."
.
.
"No"
