To anyone with a restrictive ED...

You deserve to eat, your body deserves nourishment. You are beautiful and you are worth taking care of.

If you are looking for permission to eat something, here it is, please eat.. even if it’s small.

If you were thinking about food or eating and you saw this, it is a sign you should eat.

If you’re feeling hungry, it is a sign you should have something to eat, no matter what or how much you’ve already eaten.

You are beautiful and deserving of love and food and weight do not change those facts.

my least favorite part of having an eating disorder is the constant arguing and bargaining in your head. racing thoughts all the fuckin time like, “okay I’ve had 75 calories today. I can have a banana and still be under 200. wait, 1200 is still considered restriction. how much would I lose this week with a daily deficit of 500 calories? I can do that. I’ll still lose weight. but not as much as if I fasted. no. just have nothing. you could lose 3.5 lbs. this week! just have nothing. people do it every day. just have a fucking banana. you won’t even be at maintenance. but what if it triggers a binge? think about your jawline. why don’t I just have everything I want and purge? what percentage can you get back up when you purge? hey google…” AND IT NEVER STOPS.

btw, only 10% max in the past ~30 minutes of your last meal, if anyone’s curious. You don’t get a lot of “takebacksies” with it.

I went to treatment with girls who were binging and purging 10,000+ calories a day, yet were so emaciated their organs were failing.

not tryin to shit on you ‘cause I know your intent is to discourage dangerous behavior, but I think telling people with eating disorders things that are proven wrong by their experiences makes them suspicious of any help that’s out there. it was a big barrier to developing trust with my therapist.

you know what’s more freeing than killing yourself? running away to a small town and getting a job as a waitress. buying a cheap car and sticking a bed in the back and driving southwest. adopting a cat. learning a new instrument. moving apartments. visiting a friend in another city. chopping all your hair off.

you can kill your current life without dying. you can kill this version of you and make a new one.

maybe I’m just a bipolar sucker for rebirth but sometimes that thought is all that keeps me alive

Oftentimes, revealing your vulnerability and insecurities to someone isn’t a sign of weakness. It means that at the very least, you were brave and you put yourself out there.
