Clothes come in bigger sizes for a reason.

Because bodies come in bigger, smaller, rounder, taller, and all variations in between.

Coming to terms with the fact that I am not 17 anymore, and this is just how my body wants to look has been the hardest part of recovery. Sometimes it's hard to remember that I am almost 40, and that even if I starved myself to rail thin I still would not look like I looked at 17, and I'm holding onto an image of a person who hasn't existed for a very long time.

It's OKAY to change and GROW. Whether you're almost 40 or still in your 20's. It's okay to be okay with a bigger body. You're not ugly, you're not disgusting, you are YOU.

Imperfection is beauty.

Due to the fact that we forgot

Here's a reminder to take your meds! If they require you to have something before hand even a few bites of something small will do, to prevent an upset stomach!

If you already did, we're very proud of you, thank you /g

30 September 2022: Talking relapse with my therapist

I told my therapist I'm going through a relapse. He did not say he immediately wants to discharge me or send me to residential, which was a huge plus. We talked about what precipitated it and my options for how to move forward (do nothing, get my doctors' advice, IOP, and PHP). When he asked me what option I thought I needed, I said IOP. He said he was okay with that.

My therapist told me to research my options for programs near me, and meet with him next week to go over what I find. I'm worried, but also optimistic.

@starvingtillhelovesme thank you so much for the encouragement, he was glad I told him <3 you are wonderful

Today's victory: Ate a nutritious breakfast.

Today I deleted all of my calorie counting, weight tracking, ED related apps. If you think MyFitnessPal, MyNetDiary, any of those apps are anything but a tool for your ED you're wrong. I have never once in my journey of recovery required a calorie counting app, but I required 3 during the height of my ED.
