I only planned on scrolling through ED tumblr but the more I did the more lonely it was suffering in silence. I’m only here to post my experiences NOT help fuel your eating disorder.

On that note, if you’re suffering with an ED and have no one to talk to, my DMs are always open <3

When you’re the same height and weight as your friends but their stomach is flat

If I eat anything in a day I’ve failed myself

[lorena9ed]

I don’t want my period so I can feel like my ED is a success but I want so I know I’m not so malnourished.

Restricting is so much easier when there’s school.

[lorena9ed]

This is what I never knew I needed

Some of my fear foods:

Crisps

Cheese

Avocado/guacamole

One of my safe foods:

Nachos

Why does Bulimia feel so powerful and so painful?

I could easily have a whole cake and the calories not count but my throat hurts for a good hour ;-;

[lorena9ed]

Does anyone else with restricting EDs feel like calories have different amounts of worth depending what you’ve eaten in the day?

Like if I can get away with eating just a 200 cal dinner and fake a brunch, I’ll struggle with a 50 cal apple but if I’ve eaten lunch knowing I’ve still got a dinner I might as well have a bunch to snack on
