Do you ever get that sudden outburst of motivation to go and make your life better then after 5 mins you’re like yeah that’s not happening
tfw you’re drowning in ur mental illnesses so much so that washing your face and brushing your teeth and clipping your nails are big personal victories because you’ve lost all motivation to do even the most basic tasks and simple personal hygiene takes tremendous effort
important reminder: be kind to yourself if you slip up today. while it’s great to use the new year as motivation for recovery & starting fresh, your struggles won’t magically go away. you have NOT screwed it all up if you’ve “already” had a slip. your clean slate is not tainted. the opportunity to start completely over is available every second of every day, not just once a year.
you know what the world doesn’t need? another empty, hollow body that exists purely to shrink and suffer and starve into fitting a society’s skewed sense of ‘beauty’
you know what the world needs? more genuine, raw, sweet souls that are not defined by numbers or sizes, but focus their energy on changing lives and healing hearts to fix society’s brokenness
you know what will not be remembered? bmi, lowest weight, daily calorie intake, calories burned, jean size, foods eaten and foods not eaten, hours spent at gym, waist measurement, thigh size, presence or lack of stomach rolls
you know what will be remembered? your passions, you confidence, your radiance, the memories you made with friends, the crazy things you did, the places you visited, the people you invested in, the mountains you scaled, the depths you survived, the purpose of your existence

Stop making fitness about appearance and start making it about health, ability and knowledge.
Random ED things nobody really talks about
- Being jealous of friends or people who have been severely underweight/ hospitalized
- Hundreds of awkward angle body checking photos
- Looking at the size of your legs/body in every mirror, reflection, shop window
- Being disgusted at watching people eat
- Comparing people’s body size and weight to yours before noticing anything else about them
- Being obsessed with cooking/dieting/food programmes
- The pain of hitting your hip bone on a table
- Hating yourself for judging anyone who is healthy or overweight
- Being proud of your lowest weight once recovered/weight restored
- Eye rolls when anyone without an ED discusses their new diet/weight loss
- Eating every tiny bit of a specific calorie portioned food because damn if you’ve counted those calories you are gonna enjoy them
- Feeling embarrassed for eating ‘unhealthy’ foods because people assume you eat nothing/survive on lettuce
- 'Wow you’re actually eating’ kill me
- Not enjoying excercise or wanting to work out
- Alternating between being scared of all food and wanting to consume everything in sight
- Really horrific awful bad breath (like seriously bad)
- One day you’re too scared to eat a tomato the next you eat chocolate without worrying about it
- Looking in the mirror after eating and feeling like you gained 20lbs
- The anxiety and embarrassment of buying laxatives/diet pills
