Healing rain pour on these sites
Heal these wounds and make them right.
Rain I call on thee to put out these fires
And stop the nightmares that have become way too dire.
Hear these words and hear them now
As I will this, It is done now.

I have been here, multiple times! By referring to the order as a “Little Rosa”, you don’t have to make as big a deal out of the fact that you’re seeking help.
And believe it or not, it gets better. Rosa’s also gives out sweatshirts to the homeless (or sells them to the general public) that has information on local soup kitchens and even computer training in the area, on an insert sewn inside the sweatshirt.
(Details)
Reblogged again for these excellent details.
Also you can buy slices for the homeless through their online store, from anywhere, not just PA!
here is the link for anyone who wants to buy slices for the homeless
thank you for the comment about buying online! I am in canada but would love to help
PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST
The URL has changed for their donations page. As of November 2019, this link should work.
$1 will get a slice for someone who needs it.
Recovery is like cleaning out a house that’s been through a hurricane. There’s mud a foot thick on the floors; some of the windows are cracked; there’s leaves stuck in cracks you didn’t know existed.
So unlike in the movies, there are no “breakthrough moments”, where you suddenly realize one thing and the whole house is clean. Oh there may be important turning points – moments when you realize that those aren’t frosted windows, that’s dirt, and you need to clean it off, and that’s why it’s so fugging dark in here. And that is an important breakthrough, in the sense that without it you would not succeed in cleaning the house, but then you still have to clean the windows.
Therapy is just someone who’s had experience with post-hurricane cleanup, Consulting over the phone, recommending tools and giving you advice. “Start with the floor,” they say, when you’re too overwhelmed to even begin, and they tell you what shovel to buy. So you start shoveling, and it’s HARD, and you’re exhausted all the time, and you’ve only shoveled out the front hallway, and it feels like it’s never going to really get better.
But you do get good at shoveling, and slowly you build up your strength, and after a few months you can shovel as much as you need to, but there’s still a LOT of mud here, so it takes a year to get that shoveled out, and your house is still muddy and the windows are cracked (and frosted), and there’s still debris everywhere, and every time you walk around you’re stepping an a quarter-inch of mud, but you CAN walk around, you can get anywhere you need to go, and the house is still a fucking mess, you’re a fucking mess, a disaster not fit for human habitation, but on the other hand you can no longer convince yourself that “nothing’s ever going to work”. It can get better. You can point at things that used to be super-fucked-up and now are only moderately-fucked-up. Progress is possible.
But then again, you’re not making any progress anymore. You thought you had the hang of it, but now the shovel isn’t working, and every time you shovel mud out of one place it slides into another and you’re not making any headway and you can barely pick up any mud with your shovel anyway and so maybe that was it – you had a nice run, but this is as good as it’s ever gonna get, you’re still gonna be fucked up forever, and you finally bring it up to your therapist, and they nod, and tell you to buy a hose.
So now you’re hosing down the floors, and that’s a new skill set to learn, and it splashes everywhere, and now you’ve got mud on your walls, but it does get the floor clear. But you hosed out the front hallway, and then realized that to clear out the living room you’re gonna have to hose it out into the front hallway, which means the hallway’s just gonna get messy again, so then you have to redo the front hallway, but you start planning out which rooms to do in which order, so it goes pretty smoothly after that, until the day when you’ve got all the big mud puddles gone, but there’s still mud on the walls, and stuck in corners, and no matter how hard you spray you still end up with this thin coating of mud-dirt-dust on the floor after it dries, and honestly you’re making more of a mess than you are cleaning up a mess at this point. And you express your frustration, and the therapist tells you where to find, and how to use, a mop.
So you mop all the floors, and it’s actually looking pretty good, and you remembered to start mopping from the inside out, so that’s not a big deal, until you open a door and realize you forgot to shovel out the pantry. You didn’t think it could get into the pantry, with the door shut, but there it is, mud 3 inches thick, and the only way to get it out is to shovel it, and you’ll have to take it through the kitchen, so you have to shovel out the pantry, and then hose down the pantry, and then re-hose the kitchen, and then mop the pantry, and then re-mop the kitchen, and EUUURGHHHJHH.
But you’re really good at it, at this point, so it’s not like it’s a big deal. It’s irritating af, and you’re sick to death of doing this, but it’s not scary, or overwhelming, or horrifying. It’s just really, really annoying.
And the fact is, you will never be done cleaning. Even if there’s never another hurricane, there’s dishes, and dust settling on counters, and spills, and mud tracked in after snowstorms, and laundry. There’s not some magical moment when you’re “done”, and you can stop working forever (except possibly, depending on who’s right about the afterlife, after you die). But you do reach a point where you it transitions from “impossible” to “meh, just a thing”
You do reach a point where you look around, and you’re kinda proud of what you’ve done You do reach a point where you recognize that your current tools aren’t doing the job you need, and you research and find and learn how to use a tool all on your own. You do reach a point where, when you see a storm coming, you know how to prepare for it, and you purchase and lay out all the supplies you need, and when the storm finishes, you can get your house back up and ready in practically no time at all. You do reach a point where storms aren’t so scary, because you know how to weather them and you know for a fact that you can recover from them. You do reach a point where friends ask you for tips on how to clean their houses You do reach a point where, every time you need a tool, it’s one you already posses. You do reach a point where you’ve replaced all the windows and sealed up all the cracks and replaced the insulation, and for the first time, you’re comfortable all the way through a winter. You do reach a point where someone compliments you on how clean and comfortable your house is. You do reach a point where you’ve done all the remediation, and you can start remodeling the house to fit your needs.
So yeah, it’s a lot of hard work that’ll never be done. But it’s also so, so worth it.
Hi!
Hello! I have not been very active lately on this account, and it is for a good reason. I have been working hard on myself, and I'm currently in recovery, feeling better than ever, and life is genuinely good. I just wanted to post this to show that yes, things do get better. It only takes willpower, self-love, courage and strength. Those are things we all have in us. Don't take life so seriously. And trust the Universe. Work on yourself, find things you love, let go of the controlling need we all have. It facilitates everything.
So, this is for you.
Don't give up on life yet. Because life is worth it, and this is coming from a depressive-suicidal-eating disordered individual, who got better thanks to a simple shift in my habit patterns and thought patterns. Recovery is good. It's hard, but good. So do not give up. Remember that you are loved!
A thing that helped me a lot was listening to Alan Watts lectures, or Terrence McKenna's ones. Along with TEDx talks obviously. So look into it!
Much love <3
emotional self-harm exists and is fucking horrible
going back to an ex you KNOW will hurt you? consuming media you KNOW that triggers you? isolating yourself when you KNOW you need help? that’s a form of self-harm and needs to be acknowledged first to get help.
to be clear; this isn’t a callout. this is recognizing that emotional self-harm is a form of harm.
take this as a gentle reminder that your pain is real, that you are heard, and, most of all, to reach out for help.
Can I just add? Specifically denying yourself fun or pleasure?
Yeah that too
ALRIGHT. LISTEN UP.
So recently, I got calls from the phone number, (937) 353-8319. They claim to be a job service, and one of their “employees”, Carrigan, is friends with whoever the call recipient is, and that Carrigan has recommended you for this $15.00/h “job”. I also got a text message from (937) 607-1493, claiming to be Carrigan, and that they need stuff to “win a scholarship”. I do not know anyone by the name of Carrigan and I know very well that this is a very dangerous scam. If you receive a call from a number, and they ask you if you would like a job for $15.00/h, HANG UP IMMEDIATELY. If you accept the “job” offer, and you go in for an interview, they will give you a drugged bottle of water and you will wake up somewhere you don’t want to be. These phone calls & texts are from a human trafficking service, and if you oblige to them, you will be sold to people and you will be raped, no doubt about it. So PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER THESE CALLS OR TEXTS. I have listened to the voicemails, and allowed my dad to do the same, and he learned that anyone offering a $15.00/h “job” is a human trafficker. PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS ALL OVER TUMBLR
Okay, I am reblogging this because it is relevant again. I got another call from a 353 number. Not the exact same number, but I know that it is a trafficker because it’s 353 just like the last one. I also want this to signal boost so PLEASE REBLOG THIS.
Why are people deleting the captions though I had to search for what the pictures meant don’t do that
a side note, because theyre very popular around the DMV, If you ever see a sign with something akin to ‘free debt erasure’ ‘15/h job’ etc and ONLY A PHONE NUMBER, ignore it. tear it down if you can, because those are well known scams and sex-trafficking baits.do not, by any means, call or respond to these messages. do not let your friends do it. do not.
THIS IS IMPORTANT AF THANK Y’ALL HOLY SHIT
Oklahoma is one of the worst states as far as human trafficking, so thank y’all so fucking much. That’s literally my life and the lives of everyone I know that y’all just saved. Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you
*FUCKING SPAMS REBLOG*

Please stop things like this - we all need help and some more than others. These people need acceptance yes but not in this way, accept them as friends and find them help so that they stop harming themselves or worst of all ending their lives.
getting your protein (eating disorder style)
this post aims to educate on how much protein a person needs, why it’s important to have enough, what low-calorie foods to eat for protein, and a few simple recipes for each food.
the average person needs a minimum of .8 grams of protein per kg of weight (or .36 grams of protein per pound) so as not to have a protein deficiency.
a 45kg/100lb person needs at least 36 grams of protein per day
a 54.5kg/120lb person needs at least 43.2 grams of protein per day
a 63.5kg/140lb person needs at least 50.8 grams of protein per day
a 72.5kg/160lb person needs at least 58 grams of protein per day
a 81.5kg/180lb person needs at least 65.2 grams of protein per day
a 90.75kg/200lb person needs at least 72.6 grams of protein per day
a 113.3kg/250lb person needs at least 90.6 grams of protein per day
a 136kg/300lb person needs at least 108.8 grams of protein per day
signs of protein deficiency include:
Sluggish metabolism
Trouble losing weight
Low energy levels and fatigue
Poor concentration and trouble learning
Moodiness and mood swings
Muscle, bone and joint pain
Blood sugar changes that can lead to diabetes
Slow wound healing
Low immunity
and since the vast majority of people on here do not seem to be getting their protein (myself included), here are some high-protein, low-calorie foods (with a recipe to make it!)
VEGAN:
🥕 in 1 cup of unshelled soybeans, there is: 107 calories, 10 grams of protein, 8 grams of fiber, 13 milligrams of sodium, and 2 grams of fat to cook: boil until the soybean pods start to float, drain, then add salt (107 calories)
🥕 in 6 ounces of firm tofu, there is: 140 calories, 16 grams of protein, 0 grams of fiber, 0 grams of sodium, and 8 grams of fat to cook: slice into small cubes and stir-fry with spray-oil, soy sauce, and vegetables (broccoli and carrots work good and are both super low-cal! the whole meal is 200 calories if you use 1 cup of each vegetable)
VEGETARIAN:
🧀 in 4 egg whites, there is: 68 calories, 14 grams of protein, 0 grams of fiber, 219 milligrams of sodium, and 0 grams of fat to cook: preheat small pan with a little spray oil. separate the egg whites and yolks with your fingers, then discard the yolks (or use for someone else’s meal). cook the egg whites on medium heat until firm, scrambling occasionally. add salt and pepper to taste, and eat on 1 slice of bread (158 calories with a 90 calorie slice of whole wheat bread)
🧀 in 1 cup of skim milk, there is: 90 calories, 8 grams of protein, 0 grams of fiber, 130 milligrams of sodium, and 0 grams of fat to cook: eat with 1 cup of plain cheerios and 1 packet of sugar substitute for a 190 calorie breakfast!
🧀 in 5.3 ounces of low-fat greek yogurt, there is: 150 calories, 12 grams of protein, 0 grams of fiber, 60 milligrams of sodium, and 4.5 grams of fat to cook: put plain yogurt in a bowl with ½ cup of any berry and one packet of sugar substitute. stir and enjoy (200 calories or less)
CARNIVORE:
🍖 in 4 ounces of baked chicken breast (boneless and skinless), there is: 110 calories, 23 grams of protein, 0 grams of fiber, 180 milligrams of sodium, and 3 grams of fat to cook: preheat oven to 190C/375F. spray baking pan with spray oil. rub chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. put the chicken in the pan and cover with a piece of tin foil. bake for 40 minutes (110 calories)
🍖 in 3 ounces of yellowfin tuna canned in water, there is: 99 calories, 22 grams of protein, 0 grams of fiber, 288 milligrams of sodium, and 1 gram of fat to cook: drain can, then add low-fat greek yogurt, lemon juice, low-fat mayo, apples, pickle juice, or cucumber (there’s a million different things you can add, so experiment! 150 calories or less)
so there we go! make sure you’re eating enough goddamn protein, for faster weight loss, and a healthier body!
important to take in mind, if you have an ed or if you dont
‼️ Protein u need in vegan / vegetarian / meat basis ‼️
and let’s not forget that a protein deficiency makes you crave SUGAR for energy. no thanks, i’ll stick to protein

Watching Netflix is a lot more fun than watching “thinspiration” videos.

Please feel free to add onto this list, and share your own stories and reasons for recovery. I love you guys and my inbox is always open.
Pretty. Girls. DONT. Eat.
I spent years wholeheartedly believing these four words.
This phrase consumed my thoughts to the point where I never thought I would be good enough until I could stop eating for good.
And I know I am not the only one.
If you have ever felt this way - or you feel that way now - just take a moment to remind yourself of two things:
1. PRETTY GIRLS DO EAT.
2. BEING PRETTY IS NOT THE ONLY VALUE YOU HAVE AS A WOMAN
Im not the first person to point these things out. And I sure as hell hope I am not the last. But I hope one day when you google “pretty girls eat” that you see something different.
Because… pretty girls fucking eat!!

One day I want little girls to google “pretty girls eat” and see pictures of beautiful women like this.
Women who are not only beautiful, but so much more. (and if you follow them you KNOW that they all eat!)
Fuck “pretty girls don’t eat” Because we do. And we should remind each other of that until every lost girl who has had the misfortune of believing such a terrible lie can be shown the truth:
PRETTY GIRLS EAT.
HEALTHY girls eat.
STRONG girls eat.
DETERMINED girls eat.
CONFIDENT girls eat.
SMART girls eat.
HAPPY girls eat.
PRETTY. GIRLS. EAT.
OMG I NEVER SAW THIS WTF THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
Brb crying. I wish something like this would have been around when I was dealing with eating disorders. This is beautiful.
Reblogging for the girls that need this .
I just need as many people as I can reach to see and reblog this, so everyone will know
That pretty girls do eat
Hey
✨ Thinspo Imagine ✨
(Trigger warning for some?)
You absolutely love it when you wake up with the sun gently peaking through the blinds. You sit up and your stomach growls so badly it hurts. You tell yourself the grumbling in your stomach is your fat screaming because it doesn’t want to die. So you force a smile and slide out of bed. You know you’ve lost weight. Right?
Your mouth feels so dry. You think about getting something to drink but then you remember you have to go get on the scale.
So You shuffle into the bathroom and glance between the scale and the toilet. There’s such painful cramping from the constipation… If you don’t get everything out you won’t get a perfectly accurate reading. You do your business and stand up. Too quickly. Your vision gets spotty. You sway and You place your cold hand on the wall and stare nervously at the scale for a moment.
You shiver and quickly strip down and step on. The anticipation makes you anxious, the hunger makes you nauseous, when you look down you want to cry, scream, die, see you’ve gained just a little. Probably bloating or liquid retention. Probably because you had 50 calories more than you should have yesterday. You disgusting, fat thing.
Just to double check you recalibrate the scale. On. Off. On. Off. Oh God… still fat. It doesn’t change and You think you might cry that’s okay. You quickly pull your clothes back on, glancing in the mirror. Resist the urge to pinch pull poke the fat You slowly go down the staircase and head for the kitchen.
What a headache. Taking a peak in the fridge, you glance over the food inside. The thought of an egg makes you physically drool. You grab creamer, shut the fridge, and turn to flip on the coffee maker. You don’t deserve food, you gained weight. You start your morning exercises as you wait for the coffee to brew. Your heart is pounding in your chest, it feels like you’re dying.
You finish shakily as the coffee is ready for you. As you pour your coffee, stir in low calorie creamer, you look out the window at the beautiful colors in the sky as the sun climbs up into the sky, you’re happy hungry. hurting. decaying. and you know that this will kill you eventually nothing will ever feel as good as getting and staying skinny will.
Thinspo and Imagines are incredibly decieving. Eating Disorders are never pretty. They are hard, painful, and ugly illnesses. If you are new to these tags, if you’ve been here for a while, if you’re “dieting”, if you’re “just looking”. Tell a friend, family member, doctor, anyone. Tell someone you’re struggling. Nothing will ever feel as good as recovery and living will feel.
How does a dude end up with anorexia though? I’m assuming he’s straight…
What an ignorant ass question. Men are not immune to eating disorders, and neither are heterosexuals. Seriously what the hell kind of question is that?
This is what happens when we ignore men and boys in the body image discussion–people can’t conceive of men and boys having eating disorders. They can and do, so their issues need attention and support, the same as women and girls.
Anyway, I’m glad this guy is on the road to recovery and looking stronger.
