Eating disorders are NOT cool. NOT pretty. NOT the right choice. NOT OK. Please try recovery
You can still have a thigh-gap and you can still be beautiful at 56kg 💗 And no matter what - you ARE beautiful
DO NOT TAKE THIS AS «THINSPO», I AM JUST TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO GET OUT OF THAT CURSED ANA COMMUNITY.
I wish I had more pictures of me back then, so that I could look at the progress I have made, but I deleted my blog soooo whatever. This is the only one of my entire body.
My hands at 43kg(April) and 56kg(November). The old picture was a polaroid picture,that’s why it has such low quality. They haven’t changed that much, but at least I’m healthy now 💗💓
You won’t be cold once you’ve recovered (of course you’ll be cold in certain situations, even I am)
You won’t feel guilty after eating a normal meal
Your concentration will get better (my concentration was horrible at the time)
You can stand up without feeling like collapsing
You managed to get that thin, you’ll be able to gain as well
Your mental health will get better
You may be able to have kids (I am, at least)
Your hands and feet won’t be freezing
You can look back at your progress and feel great
You’ll generally feel better
(I am sorry if this triggers/offends anyone. I just want to help people in the same situation I was just months ago)
Avoid thinspo, sweetspo, the pro ana/Mia tag, the anorexia/bulimia tag and ESPECIALLY THE MEANSPO TAG
If you have to look at something, look at fitspo
Try taking tiny steps towards recovery (if your daily intake is 200kcal, try going up a hundred calories every day, or 50. If that is too hard, you can try going up 100 every week)
Seek support from therapists, family, friends, teachers, etc
Write down your progress (if this is too much of a trigger, don’t)
Don’t weigh yourself every day. If it is impossible for you, try every second day or every week. But try to avoid it at any cost.
Quit using tumblr. Tumblr is a bad idea in the beginning, it contains all sorts of bad things.
Get a new hobby. Distract yourself when you feel bad about your body, like you’d do when you WERE trying to avoid eating during a fast.
Plan rewards (for example: at 46kg-new curtains, at 47kg-a new hoodie, at 48kg-new shoes) I remember that my dad told me that if I had gained 1kg, I’d get a new papir of pants. Those papir of pants are the ones I’m using in the second picture.
Remove toxic people from your life. If people tell you that you’re ugly, ignore, report or go away. I know that this one can be hard, but it worked for me.
My type of anorexia was a little different from the one you might be having. It was partly caused by my Asperger’s syndrome, and that’s why I recovered so quickly. Recovery can take weeks, it can take months and it can take years. Anorexia symptomes may go away for a little, and come back later. Be prepared when they do. If you experience negative thoughts about your body, TALK TO SOMEONE. Get help, please 💓💓💓💗
