Eat your greens, your fruits, your protein and your grains to nourish your body. Eat healthy home cooked meals and nutritious foods to nourish your body so it can flourish.

Eat your cookies, chips, cakes, and milkshakes. Eat delicious foods you love to bring joy to your day and nourish your soul.

Find a balance of eating that brings you mental, emotional and physical health. Eat like you love yourself and want to show yourself kindness.

we need carbs and we need fats and we need proteins and honestly fuck diet culture for normalizing malnourishment 

[heavyweightheart]

You do NOT need an online calculator to determine how much food to eat! Your body is a highly complex, living, changing organism and its cues are your best “measure,” tho I hate that we’re all so steeped in self-surveillance that we even speak in those terms

[heavyweightheart]

let’s have a recovery blog moment and remind ourselves that restricting our food intake will not improve our health, will not protect us from viruses, will not protect us from fear, will not help the world by placing less demand on it. we don’t need to be smaller because things are hard. we want to be well-fed, full of energy and connection and courage. we want to take up space and be present and demand our human rights. health may be elusive but let’s give our bodies the very best chances they can have; let’s fuel them and trust them. it’s what they deserve.

Tw: weights and numbers What is recovery like when you’re already at a “healthy weight”? I’ve been starving myself for months and lost round 20 pounds and my body started deteriorating in in past two months. How hr, dizziness, cold, hair falling out , etc. what am I supposed to do / how much an I supposed to eat to make a good recovery... jk this is typical but I’m scared of gaining all that weight back since I was overweight to begin with

hey!! there is no obligation to be underweight to start recovery. your recovery guidelines are the same as everyone else’s- eat according to all your hunger cues with no restriction, and your body will get to a comfortable weight that you can maintain without monitoring your intake (your set point). some people have a higher set point and that is normal and okay! your weight does not define the validity of your illness or your recovery. ❤️

I really thought I was meeting my caloric requirement with the meal plan my dietician had given me but I’ve lost weight and I don’t know if it’s me overestimating or my body needs more than that set amount

weight loss in recovery is often an effect of hypermetabolism. your dietician will likely monitor your weight and adjust the plan accordingly. that said, if you think you may be estimating portions incorrectly, try to make sure you’re eating according to your hunger cues and if you are still mentally or physically hungry when meeting your meal plan, it may not be enough.

My hair has been falling out over the past few months and is getting extremely thin. I’ve always had overly thick hair and I’m freaking out that it won’t grow back. I know that this is from malnutrition, but I’m still having panic attacks every time I shower and watch clumps of hair fall out. Will it grow back?

i can’t guarantee anything, but my hair got much thicker and healthier as i weight restored! i noticed the hair clumping stopped about two or three weeks into refeeding ❤️

TW: Food??? Eating?? Numbers!!! (Hello its me again sorry for sending so many asks you've just been the kindest person Ive -spoken- to so far!!! Sorry!! Feel free to delete as always!!!) I just ate a ton of apples (Literally 10) AND THEY WERE SO GOOD BUT AHHHH PANIC Im not uncomfy and I kinda want another BUT AHHHHH is this too much, I added them in my head as 1 = 10 so 10 apple = 100 and my brain is telling me thats wrong but ?!?! I dont wanna reason them as anything higher sorry sorry sorry

im so sorry i know you sent this a long time ago but that is amazing! eat however many apples you want, don’t listen to anything your ed is saying about it. it is NOT too much, it’s never too much when you’re in recovery (and after!). eat whatever YOU need to be satisfied and move on with your day. ❤️

I've been in recovery for almost 3 months, and I've been doing well! & sometimes I want to relapse because I think I'm supposed to. Like I've seen s many people say relapses are common & many people experience them & I already don't feel sick enough bc I wasn't sick that long & I feel like I started eating "too quickly and too easily". & the fact that I haven't relapsed makes me feel even more fake & I know that's dumb but I was just wondering, I know it's common to relapse, but does everyone?

relapse does not happen to everyone, and just because you didn’t relapse doesn’t make your struggles any less valid. it is far better not to relapse because relapses only set you back in the recovery process, and you have to redo parts of the hard work you’ve already done. there is no “sick enough,” that’s a lie made up by your eating disorder to keep you sick. fight it!! the fact that you haven’t relapsed shows how strong you are and how well you’re doing, it doesn’t invalidate you in the slightest. ❤️

ive been with my partner for 3 years now, and they’ve been dealing with an eating disorder for a few years. i’ve recently been trying to once again convince them to seek help but at the same time, for a couple of months actually, i’ve been feeling like i’ve fallen out of love, but i’m too afraid that if i act on it they’ll get worse, and any progress they had will be for nothing. any advice???

hey! so I’ve sort of been in a situation like this. you have to realize that you are not responsible for your partners mental health, and you have every right to get out of a relationship for any reason. if you end the relationship and they get worse afterwards, it will not be your fault. it’s hard to make peace with those kinds of things but you have to make your own needs a priority sometimes ❤️
