Trying. so hard. hhave to keep fucking trying. there is good out there and in me.

[greelin]

[sweatermuppet]

everyone avert your eyes [expresses a standard human emotion] [illogically experiences shame even with only myself as witness]

[sweatermuppet]

acts like an animal looking for a private place to die (experience a very basic + necessary feeling)

[honeypleasejustkillme]

it’s a big ass struggle

[bowybowy]

junkorexics and pickyeaters i love you. people who fluctuate between calorie sizes or binge a lot i love you. people who can fast for several days straight and people who cant because of the people around you i love you. those who are so close to your ugw and those who are lightyears away i love you. the amount you struggle shouldnt determine if ur ed really exists

Day 5 of the 30 Day Thinspo Challenge

Day 5: Why do you really want to lose weight? Are you doing it for you?

I guess I'm mostly losing weight right now because it feels like the only way I can function under all the stress. If I can obsess over calories and BMIs and shit, then I'm not obsessing over the 5000 things that overwhelm me with anxiety every day.

[divediaries]

i don’t know what i look like, i check the mirror every hour and each time i see a different person.

my mind distorts my face to a point where i don’t even know who i am anymore.

[pacingincircles]

Day 4 of the 30 Day Thinspo Challenge

Day 4: Your greatest fears about weight loss.

So I have a very complicated relationship with weight loss bc of my ED. I hate that i want it so bad, but I'm addicted to losing weight extremely quickly and often dangerously. So my main fear is that it damages my body irreparably (I've come really close to this before, but most of it went away or was just worsening health conditions that I already had). The self-destructive part of me would be happy about it, but I feel guilty because I know it's hurting people to see me like this already and would be even worse if I did get hurt permanently. But I can't stop, so I just try to be as careful about it as possible.

[pacingincircles]

Day 3 of the 30 Day Thinspo Challenge.

Day 3: A picture of your thinspiration. What features do you like about this person?

I don't know if I really use any specific person as thinspo, but i find people with features that i want to have and use those specific parts of their body as thinspo. I.e. this person's skinny legs and small waist. I also like their dark hair and clothing style because it's similar to mine, which makes it easier to strive to look like this instead of feeling like it's impossible. And they're very tall and lanky, which is also what I want to look like.

[somementallyillpal]

I want to be thin enough to not be gendered. I want to be able to put on a hoodie without a bra and no one would be able to notice I don't have a flat chest.

I want people to see me when I'm in public transport and start looking at me, asking theirselfs: "Are they a boy or a girl? What it's the gender of this person???"

I want to be so sick, so thin and androginous that no one will read me as "a girl" anymore, no matter what clothing I'm wearing. And if I don't achive that I better die trying

[gayairdragon]

I just feel like my mental health isn't bad enough and not valid

[gayairdragon]

Just a reminder: you don't have to be skinny to have an eating disorder. Ed's come in all shapes and sizes and you are absolutely valid if you're not thin.

[pacingincircles]

Day 2 of the 30 day thinspo challenge: How tall are you, and do you like your height?

I'm 5 ft 7.5 in, which is pretty average i think. But I wish I was a lot taller, at least 5'10". Idk I just want to be long and gangly and thin, and as a trans guy, it's not always easy to get people to take me seriously at this height.

[pacingincircles]

I wanted to do this because I think I'm plateauing finally with my weight and I need to get motivation to exercise more.

So:

Day 1: Height: 5'7.5" HW: 174 lbs LW: 106 lbs SW: 170 lbs CW: 149.6 lbs GW1: 155 lbs ✓ GW2: 145 lbs UGW: 100 lbs
