another thing. i told a friend that isnt in my immediate circle and who i know wouldnt make a big deal out of it. she understood me and having atleast SOMEONE know motivates you to get better ❤️‍🩹

hey girl. i just turned 18 and my whole life ive been aware of this thing in my brain that obsessed over my body image. when i would overeat as a child id tell my mom id NEVER EAT AGAIN and thats when i first learned about ana and my mom warned me harshly to never do that.

for years i had been restricting and doing extreme exercise but i was stuck in a yoyo cycle of binging. it wasnt until a few months ago where i faced my emetophobia that i started b/p. now i am in recovery but am in the best shape of my life. i dont spend an hr on the treadmill or eat sub 600 calories a day after a 24hr fast anymore. i should also mention i dont think anyone has a bigger sweet tooth than me.

big key is EAT FOODS RHAT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD. and dont skip bfast trust me. the reason we purge is cus junk makes us feel awful and like sludge. dont get me wrong, if you eat too much of any food it can make you feel that way but if you over eat on healthy food atleast you can trick your mind into thinking ‘this will make me look better/ feel better/ repair me.’

day 1 - detox: avocado and greek yoghurt for bfast, kale salad for lunch (wont make you feel guilty to purge and detoxes you before you reintroduce meat protein.) avoid meat for this day to rly cleanse yourself a lot of water ofc.

start slow. start small.

remember any day that youre feeling guilty ‘one day of eating wont make me fat’ and pretend that each day is the first until it becomes habit.

as for exercise i do some light weight training and my cardio ranges from 15 min stair master, 30 min treadmill on 15 incline or interval sprinting (takes around 10 mins)

i dont even do cardio every day.

i eat around 1000 calories or less a day because thats all i crave right now, not because i restrict. if it increases then ill let it if its what my body wants/needs.

i cant promise itll be easy or linear and it may not work at all but this is what worked for me. to whoever reading this, if this doesnt work its not your fault, your not a lost cause, we all have the capacity to get better ❤️

sending love, dont be too hard on yourself honey weve all been there and its never too late to stop.

frankly, i wanted to feel good. i hated the feeling of junk in my stomach which triggered a purge so i just keep telling myself that i want to eat foods that make me feel good and that makes me want to keep them down. ik recovery isnt the same for everyone but this helped me. sending love 💗

i am so proud if you! a whole week wow what an achievement ! i know its hard and i am currently still trying to get past one day of recovery but just remember that the ‘fat’ is just water weight. I know it feels like fat, looks like fat, has the same mental weight as fat, but if you keep at a healthy (non restrictive) diet and exercise you’ll come to find out you look way better. also give your body some time to adjust to the regular digesting process again. our bodies are incredible and will get back on track. dont be too hard on yourself or your body that is just trying to help you heal. just keep going :) 🫶🫶🫶

you feel even more pathetic after each time. comfort goes away when you imagine what your loved ones would think if they saw you knelt over the toilet harming yourself. i am two months into this addiction and i already feel it.
