this is cute.
I feel like I’m relapsing, but it could just be for a few days. Lol I bought appetite suppressants today, I’m kinda a little scared of myself o.O maybe I will need this blog again.
Diary of a girl trying to love herself
Taking it day by day - my diary
Why stop throwing up?
My name is Kate, and I am on a mission to self acceptance. My story right now isn't important, although I might add it later if anybody wants to read it.
This blog is basically dedicated to the end of my constant battle with my body and the end of my problems with eating. I've recovered greatly from how I once was, but I still have problems with self destructive behaviour, hating my body, etc..
I'm aware it won't be easy and I've already spent months working on it so far, but I've decided that I should start sharing my thoughts and my journey.
Hopefully I can eventually inspire some of you to work on this with me.
Basically my mission is to create the OPPOSITE of a "thinspo" blog... A "you're fucking perfect the way you are" blog
If you find this blog at all triggering, please let me know, and I'll take whatever it is down immediately.
Sorry. I’m a lazy shit.
But I’m learning to eat better.
It’s not a crime to eat decent meals during the day any more… So I’m not starving by dinner and I don’t spend all evening binging. It’s a difficult circle to break but it’s worth it once you do. I gotta go to bed now :3
Oh my god I made a post and it didn’t post I hate my life.
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now, so I finally did. I haven’t binged and purged for four weeks today. The difference since my 12 day picture isn’t obvious and this is the last comparison picture I’ll do. I took these pictures to document how swollen my face is and how long it takes before the swelling goes down (for me!) but I’m pretty sure the swelling is gone. If I take more pictures the only difference is going to be because I’ve lost weight (which is a different story). I’ve lost weight since my 12 day picture but not a lot and I’m sure those 2-3 pounds weren’t on my face to begin with.
Eating Disorders Are Not
- about getting attention
- a lifestyle
- impossible to recover from
- a result of the media, fashion or Hollywood
- something only suburban, middle-class teenage, white girls deal with
- about being attractive, pretty or thin
- always fixed with treatment
- only serious when the person is emaciated
- fixed by eating and gaining weight
- always a result of trauma and/or family problems
- a choice (but recovery is!)
- a really strict diet
- always visible
- able to give you “control”
- glamorous
- a phase

Fighting Thinspo!: Myths about Eating Disorders
Myths about eating disorders
Eating disorders are not a lifestyle choice - They are a serious mental illness, with dangerous effects on physical health if left untreated. 1 in 5 eating disorder sufferers die prematurely.
- Eating disorders are caused by fashion models - Research is discovering…
1. I wear my swiming trunks without a care in the world already.
2. I hate clothes.
3. I’ll got for a run and work out naked if I want to. Let everything just fling everywhere!
4. I’m sure I look amazing in a tight dress already!
5. What does the skinny friend actually gain out of that?
6. Oh…trust me, I’m already noticed. Not to mention WHAT A FUCKING EGO TRIP YOU MUST NEED.
7. This circular logic is starting to corrode my skull.
8. THIS IS HUGE. ANYONE WHO WOULD EVER THINK YOU NEED TO BE SKINNY TO LOVE YOURSELF HAS NO LOVE TO GIVE TO THEMSELVES. ALL THEY HAVE IS STIPULATIONS.
9. I have a very fat friend that rocks the shit out of skinny jeans, and rocks them well mind you.
10. ……..didn’t you just say this like 5 times?
11. LOL STRIPES AND PLAID
12. ………is this even necessary.
What fucking more? How about cultivating love of people instead of body models. How about loving yourself instead of imposing stipulations on loving yourself.How about a big fuck you to whoever wrote this. You thought you were helping, but when you loose that weight, your self esteem is still not there. It’s a shallow, plastic feeling of “love”.
This is amazing
