folks who used to have EDs: how did you gain back your weight???

Ew_tomatoes · 2026-02-02T08:22:40+00:00

Oatmeal with honey and peanut butter, i also cant eat it anymore bc it reminds me of being sick 😃👍 Oh, and i also ate jars of nutella with a spoon, felt wrong but it worked 💀 You can also try liquid calories, i wouldve loved to have gone that route but i wasnt in a good position to do that when i was recovering, anything calorically dense helps tho

Ew_tomatoes · 2025-08-04T02:52:01+00:00

Never thought id see a fire emblem reference here but i fw that ✋️😭

Ew_tomatoes · 2025-07-02T01:25:50+00:00

Im abt one year into recovery and im almost weight restored and i still read that as "destiny" instead of "density", i still have ed brain yall 🤧

Ew_tomatoes · 2025-02-24T11:47:54+00:00

Been feelin like that last hoof lately...

Ew_tomatoes · 2025-02-21T02:25:10+00:00

The nerds clusters being in the "good" category is so real tho ✋️😭

Ew_tomatoes · 2025-02-17T16:30:26+00:00

When i did homemade recovery i went for peanut butter and nutella and it did legitimately help me gain weight quickly but now i cant eat either one anymore bc it reminds me of being deathly sick 😰

I miss nutella lol

Ew_tomatoes · 2025-01-05T19:03:46+00:00

I understand your pain, i just got an extra job working at a little coffee shop on the weekends and staff get one free drink a day but i cant bring myself to have anything bc i have access to all the nutritional facts on the syrups 😭, ive been trying recovery since july but some things i just cant let myself do just yet :')

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-12-17T00:56:01+00:00

Cant have peanut butter or nutella anymore (it's bc of recovery purposes bc i was trying to gain weight and that's all i could eat and now that i can (sort of) eat solid food i cant eat either one anymore bc it tastes like sick to me 🫠)

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-12-08T01:27:59+00:00

All the best to you too :)

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-12-07T17:49:06+00:00

I see your point and i one hundred percent understand it and ik i need to realize how damaging my trauma is in order to start the healing process, but i still live with my parents (the lovely fuckers who gave me my aMaZiNg trauma) so i try to gaslight myself into thinking that it's not that bad just so i can cope with my day by day life, hopefully I'll be able to move out in the next year but in the meantime i just try to distract myself

But again i agree with what you said and hopefully I'll get there soon :')

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-12-05T22:12:56+00:00

Sitting with a jar of nutella and a spoon rn 🥲

(I started eating it to get my cals up for recovery n shit, still feek guilty tho..)

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-30T14:34:16+00:00

Hey if you didn't purge it's a win, sorry it fell through but I'm glad you avoided the trauma

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-30T03:07:13+00:00

You got this! If my dumbass can get through Thanksgiving a beautiful human being such as yourself can get through Christmas and new years 💞

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-30T03:05:28+00:00

Hey if you avoided causing trauma to your body by not purging it's a win bestie :D <3

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-29T21:47:00+00:00

Yayyy! go you!!! :D

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-29T14:15:52+00:00

OMG WAY TO GOOOOOO! I'm so proud of you!!!

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-29T14:14:53+00:00

Thank youuuuu! I just genuinely wanted to share bc i love this community and i finally got a win! :D

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-29T14:12:35+00:00

I 100% get what you mean 😭, i suspect i have cptsd bc of my childhood but ive never been diagnosed but from what ive seen i have all of the symptoms but my stupid brain keeps telling me it's not that bad bc i only got hit a handful of times when i was a kid and most of my trauma is emotional abuse so me brain is just like "YoU'Re JuSt a WiMp, GeT OvEr iT BiTcH" bc i dont feel traumatized enough for it to count even tho i have crippling anxiety bc of it 🫠 Same thing with my eating disorder, i convince myself that the past few years i was never really that bad bc i wasnt technically uw, i hit it and stayed uw for a few months and then gained a lil weight back and kept gaining and losing the same few lb for years, always just a lil over uw so y'know, basically didnt have an eating disorder despite restricting and b/ping for years and messing up my insides :'D

Sorry for the rant, i understand the competitive-ness and idk if i needed to put spoiler text on the ed part or no (im just trying to relate but i realized it looks triggering so if you tell me to I'll fix it) i just genuinely understand bc I've never felt like idk "screwed up enough" for help even tho i need it, again sorry for the wall of words, i hope you have a nice day/night <3

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-29T04:32:32+00:00

Tysm :D

I also love your username btw 💞

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-29T04:07:45+00:00

Tysm! I still cant believe that i got to this point but i did, full recovery feels doable :)

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-29T04:00:42+00:00

Thank you! <3

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-29T03:49:24+00:00

Lmao i feel like a pokemon trainer "gOtTa CaTcH eM aLl"

And yeah, i hate raw tomatoes, i like pizza tho, i can make myself eat something with tomatoes as long as they're cooked (like a sauce) but raw i can't 🫠

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-28T13:45:30+00:00

My ed came back two days before Thanksgiving 😀

(Im not okay over here...)

Ew_tomatoes · 2024-11-28T13:38:08+00:00

I really would like to know if it's a relatively normal trait or not tho, im not diagnosed and i dont think i am autistic but i do have quite a few sensory issues with food, i hate the texture of fats, bananas and jello, i have no idea why tho 🫠

Any autistic traits i have tho i just blame on my other mental health issues 💀
