• Myth: All people with Eating Disorders are afraid of becoming fat. 
  • Fact: All anorexics are afraid of gaining weight but not necessarily becoming fat. The two are not mutually inclusive. One can gain weight without becoming fat. Most people know that 1 pound won’t make a difference, but that one pound to anyone with an eating disorder is a lot. So it is a fear of gaining weight, which can include becoming fat, but not always. 

asker Hey you <3 I love your blog, and I was wondering if you could post this for your followers to see? I'm a 16 year old girl in recovery for Anorexia and it's so incredibly difficult I feel like giving up sometimes. So I want to find someone else who is also currently in recovery for an eating disorder, any age and gender. It's so hard for my friends to actually understand, even though they try their best, so I feel very lonely and misunderstood. I'd love to have someone to talk about recovery with

Cannot tell if troll or not, but I won’t post it. It does no good and either way come off as arrogant and asshole-y. Sorry to that person who sent it to me. If you want to reword it and send it to be nicer (or meaner) then do so. 

I have just send in my request to volunteer at the Overnight in San Francisco on June 9th and 10th. I hope some of your guys will either be walking or joining me if you are in the area. Here is the link to the info, I really hope you guys decide to participate it’s a really good cause. If you want more information about the Overnight check out their website. And I hope to see some of you there!!!

asker The Anorexia myths is amazing. I have been struggling for 11 years. I hope you don't mind me copying it. I gave you full credit! But I feel like its one of the only things I can give to the ones close to me that are so hurt and don't understand.

Awwww thanks! I wrote it so people who aren’t afflicted with the disease may have a better understanding. There are so many misconceptions about it and I was really sick of hearing it over and over again. I just wanted to put it out there to educate people really. 

asker Thin Confessions.. Confessions from those who are thin or those who wish to be thin or doesn't matter?

Either one. Or none. This is really just a confessions blog with a focus on eating disorders.

asker Stop blaming your internal problems on fat. If you were a bitch before losing weight isn't going to make people like you. Losing weight isn't going to make your ex want you. Losing weight won't make you "prettier" than other women. Losing weight won't make people jealous of you or fawn all over you. Losing weight does not signify good virtue. Losing weight won't guarantee your happiness. Losing wieght is not a substitute for working on good character. Stop being lazy and do the INNER WORK!

Wow real brave anon. This is one of the most ignorant shit statements I have read in a long ass fucking time. One, I am skinny, not fat, I know this, so blaming shit on being fat isn’t my issue. Two, I wasn’t a bitch, in fact I let people walk all over me, so STFU. Three, I’m prettier than some people out there but less than others, that’s why I wear make up. Four, I could give a shit if people were jealous of me. Five, when the fuck did I say it was a good virtue? Good virtues mean treating others with respect and not spewing shit at them when you don’t know any better. Six, right, I should take advice about good character from someone like you….. (That’s sarcasm by the way.) And finally, seven, there is no fucking way I am lazy. I go to therapy every week, I reflect about myself more than most people, I am active in my life. But what about you? Isn’t it lazy sitting behind a grey face on a computer screen making accusations you obviously have no idea about. If you have even bothered to read my other blog you know everything you just said was false. 

If you are going around making these sorts of statements to other people, you are just hurting people more than you are helping. Not to mention you sound completely idiotic and ignorant. I suggest you go read my Anorexia Myth’s post, here. So get off your high ass fucking horse and shut the fuck up. 

Toodles. =)

Oh, I forgot, I dumped my last boyfriend. So I don’t want him back.

asker i know is bad for you, cause i'm glad you're recoverying and understand you post less... but tbh i miss your post and wish there were new ones more often.

Thanks! I wish I wanted to post more! But I’ve been so busy with school and work lately, I haven’t been bored inspired lately. Maybe over spring break.

I wanted to submit a picture, but I freaked out at the thought that a friend or relative would find it. I thought about cropping the face, but the clothes and background are obvious to anyone who has been in my house at least once. I’m freaking out right now, thinking that someone will recognize my writing. Only 3 people know and I don’t want anyone else to do so. One is a friend of mine, who is a bulimic. We don’t talk frequently, but when one of us is feeling bad, we just call the other and not-eat together. The second one is my boyfriend, who tries his best to understand and to be there when I need him, but unconciously, whenever I’m around him I feel like i HAVE TO eat. The third one is a friend. We were having a beer, talking about tottally random things such as pokemon, marvel and skyrim, when out of tthe blue, I feel the urge to say “Hey, you now, I’ve been struggling with anorexia and bulimia for a long time” It was the most awkward conversation ever and I regret every single word I sadi. I guess I needed to tell someone, I had to get it out of my chest. Just like I’m doing now, I know I’m not really saying anything, but I need to vent. It’s like I needed to tell the world “You, please stop it. I don’t want help, or maybe I do, I don’t know. I want you to understand, or maybe not. I want you to stop pressuring me, to stop talking about food. Stop asking me out to dinner because when I get back home I’ll break down once for every bite I took. I don’t want that, it hurts. Don’t look at me that way. I’m not sick, I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell. And you, yes you, you’re not helping.”

Sorry for the long text. I just neded to vent, I needed to get this out of my chest D:

ME: Feel free to vent to me any time. I know it can be hard. I actually haven’t told anyone about my ED except for my therapist, and I kind of glossed over it. I get the feeling of wanting people to know and not wanting them to know at the same time. On one hand, you just need someone to talk to, on another you’re ashamed of it. Oh and you want to get help, because you know it’s the right thing to do, but at the same time you don’t want to let go of the ED. But I hope you can work through some of these feelings. Try talking to your boyfriend about it, and I mean really talk. And, assuming he really really cares for you, he’ll help you through it. <3

clichecliche:

sorry for um.. filling your mailbox with this crap, but i really need someone to calm me down.. I usually have 200-450 kcal a day and its all fruits and veggies, and today i ate an entire chocolate bar.. I want to hit myself in the face real hard. At the same time I want to take a handful of chocolate and rub it into my face. Goddamn!! I need to calm down and NOT vomit but its soo hard. AM I GOING TO GAIN WEIGHT AFTER THIS?!?!??!?!??!

First off, one little chocolate bar is going to do squat. Second, I know it can be really hard, but try not to think about weight so much. Eat what makes you feel good, if you want to eat chocolate, then eat it. Now, don’t eat like 10 bars of chocolate, that will just make you sick, but have some. Just try to keep reminding yourself, it’s not about the weight. I hope you feel better, if you need anything, just shoot me another ask. =)

asker why are you tagging some things as thinspo and anti thinspo?

Because I think a lot of my posts can go in either category.
