Recovering from an eating disorder (ED) is not easy. I have lots of stretchmarks and extra skin from being anorexic > overeating and vise versa, througout my highchool to adult years.
Oh let me tell you! It looks Uglyy!
I'm practicing self love right now 💕 The first thing I learned was that, I shouldn't impress someone if I don't want to, and being an outcast is ok! You can learn to integrate socially if you learn to love yourself first, friends will come to you easily 💕
I learn to accept my body the way it is! And regular exercise helps!
My metabolism is REALLY slow now 🥲 so its really easy to gain weight from eating! But I eat frequent small meals to help my horrible stomach acid due to my ED. I'm sure you too can recover, I know its not easy!
Lots of love!

Peppermint tea
Peppermint tea tastes like an eating disorder. It smells like distress and sadness. Its warmth feels like the deep coldness that was once in my bones. I may no...
Hi, I'm so happy you recovered. It isn't easy (you know that). You're right, the harmful effects last a long time, so if anyone out there is just starting then please do everything in your power to cut free while you can.
There's one thing you said that doesn't fit my life though. I recovered and got back to health physically, but the mental effects are really deep. I'm more isolated than ever, even though I can put up a great fake act of being social... it's like I just don't want friends anymore. I don't want people around me.
That's 100% due to the eating disorder, after years of practising how to be sneaky, hiding all the disordered behaviour etc, I just don't like having people around at all. And I don't think I'll ever change back because this is who I am now.
Another reason to not get started down this dark road. Some effects are permanent.
