I’ve been in therapy for 10 years and thought I finally had that “aha!” moment. The last day of the year last year I stopped pretending that the sexual abuse I endured for half of my life didn’t happen. I finally acknowledged and accept it, rather than pushing the blame on the rude kids in school or societies beauty standards. Obviously those things don’t help anyone, let alone someone already struggling silently. But I’ve been learning a lot about taking responsibility for your actions, emotions, life… I’ve picked and prodded and I feel like it’s all coming together, except I can’t stop coming back here and obsessing over a skinny body I will never healthily achieve. I thought I was getting better, after dropping 40 lbs in 6 months when I was about 16, I’ve been working on recovering since 18. I’m 21 now and I can’t shake the fact that I find bones so gorgeous. I know small doesn’t equal feminine, and small doesn’t equal gorgeous, but this piece of my brain lives for it. I feel like I’m going to be here forever.
My amazing, sweet and supportive boyfriend and I live together now so I’m going to go run up and down our stairs and do crunches in the living room until I puke. I don’t want him to see me like this.

After Binge Routine
do NOT purge
take deep breaths and lay down for a minute
brush your teeth
wait 15 minutes and then start sipping cold water for the rest of the day
take a shower
put on an oversized shirt
drink a cup of tea
think about why you binged (were you emotional, bored or deprived of nutrients?)
start over

I am 100% in control of what I eat. I do not need to binge or eat foods that will make me fat, I can control what goes into my body. I can control how I look. It’s up to me now.

to all my ed friends who live with someone and can’t restrict properly
here are some things you can do that they wont notice but will make a huge difference on you
1- drink a lot of water, im talking 2 liters a day minimum. drink when you wake up, before and after you eat, before and after a workout, every time youre close to the kitchen have a drink. it keeps you full, prevents binges, AND gets rid of water weight and empty fat cells
2- drink more coffee and tea instead of coke and monster. theyre healthier (coke will bloat you which can cause you to binge) you will still get caffeine in but in a better way!! also keeps you warm and helps digestion. i personally drink at least a cup or two of coffee and/or tea a day.
3- take cold showers. i know its freezing and im freezing too but a cold bath of 45 minutes can burn up to 300 calories and youll get used to the cold feeling
4- do intermittent fasting. it actually has benefits other than weight loss like better metabolism and better immunity. so they might even join you!! theres simple ones like 16:8 or 18:6.
5- if number 4 is not doable then you can stop eating after 6pm. it makes a huge difference you wont be as bloated, and youll slowly see your belly fat melt away
6- dont sit still. fidget around and pace around the house. get those steps up put on some music and dance around or walk around (if you can go out and get 10k steps a day thats even better)
7- eat with a small spoon to eat slower. helps with bloating and digestion plus youll get full off of less food
8- get a smaller plate, itll look like youre eating more than you are which will trick your brain into getting full quicker and your roommate to think youre eating more
9- if you have to sit down and have a meal with them STOCK UP ON VEGETABLES instead of doing half veggies half rice for example get more veggies and less rice, your plate will look full but calorie wise it will make a huge difference as vegetables have more volume and less calories
10- if you dont have to sit down with them eat less but more frequently. let them see you eat an apple then two hours later a small snack, then another hour later a salad. basically make them think that youre eating things throughout the day by eating low calorie snacks around them ( you dont even have to eat them just chew around them then go spit it out thats what i do) they wont think youre restricting
11- if you cant workout in peace then do SHORT WORKOUTS at night on an empty stomach. there are tons of quick workouts that have really good effects but here are some of my favorites (im telling you firsthand that they give great results)
5 minute ab workout 3 minute ab workout 4 minute lower abs workout
4 minute love handles workout 5 minute small waist workout
4 minute thigh gap workout 7 minute full inner thigh workout
10 minute full leg slimdown + 4 minute of optional cooldown
10 minute thigh and calf slimmer
edit: i forgot this one but number 12 SQUEEZE YOUR ABS like constantly clench them while youre doing anything its a GAME CHANGER
stay safe. i love you <33
