Things no one tells you about having an eating disorder 🧠
After a while you gets used to it!
It’s really weird at first. All you’ll think about is what you can eat next, when you’ll eat next, and CALORIES.
You should be taking vitamins
From personal experience, PLEASE TAKE VITAMINS
I took 2: an everyday and a women’s hair skin and nails (cheap from Walmart)
I stopped taking them and noticed my hair getting thinner and falling out in the shower
Body dismorphia goes both ways
Typically body dismorphia is thought of as feeling larger
I had the opposite. I felt smaller and thinner than I was
This was encouraging for me personally!
Everyone’s bones are different!
Some people have pertruding bones that show no matter their weight
Mine showed quickly, some people have to be much smaller for theirs to show well
Don’t base your progress on how well you can see your collarbones!
You’ll constantly be feeling your body
This always kept me occupied during high school
I would always feel my wrist bones in math class and it would distract me all hour
People will pay more attention to you
Once I started getting smaller I got so many more advances from males and females
People will want to be friends with you
Validating in the moment but just makes you feel bad that you didn’t receive this attention before
Binging is different for everyone
What I consider a binge is anywhere from 100+ calories
Basically any calories I didn’t plan on eating I consider a binge
For some binging is a much larger amounts of calories and that’s okay!
Sometimes I feel thankful for this illness
You’ll forget that you are more than your eating disorder
You are your own beautiful person wether you believe it or not!! 💗✨🌸
