I'm so sick of pro anas glorifying anorexia by saying how "wonderful" and "lovely" it is to feel empty. This feeling does not last.. there might be a very short "honeymoon phase" with your restrictive ED where you think you're being "strong" and "pure" by starving when you first start losing weight, but it ends.. QUICK. I spent 13 years feeling what they described should make me feel "pure" and "lovely" and I HATED EVERY MOMENT. I was miserable, I developed organ damage, osteopenia, lost a good portion of my hair, my joints and ligaments are destroyed, my face was covered in lanugo, my gums recessed so bad my skull was exposed- clearly that would be painful, and it was- it got so bad I needed expensive, not covered by insurance surgery, which was the beginning of my recovery. Starving is never worth it. Now that I'm in recovery sure I gained weight, but I also gained satiety from food every day multiple times a day (which I can confirm feels better than starving), holidays don't scare me so much anymore, I eat more and exercise less than I have in 13 years and life is so much better. Weight is the least of what I've gained in recovery- I've gained the ability to eat at restaurants, not always know the calories of what I'm eating, a sense of humor (now that I'm not constantly angry/irritable that I feel like shit 24/7), a better relationship with my husband, and all the little joys that food, especially holidays surrounding food, can bring to our lives. If you reach your "ugw" and get diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, it is not an accomplishment. It is a sickness that will destroy your family, other relationships, body, and mind. Recovery or death are the only ways out of anorexia, and as I've recently learned through trial and error, I do not, in fact, want to die. I want to live- to wake up next to the love of my life and my cats, to have at least 3 meals a day so I'm never running on empty; it's amazing. Recovery is worth it, always- anorexia never is. So stop promoting it as some sort of badge of honor; it's not. Recover while you can, because 1/5 of anorexics die- either by starvation or suicide. I've been closer than anyone ever should be to dying of both. Being thin is not the most important thing in life, it really doesn't matter as much as the sickness in your mind convinces you it does. So get better, before your body and mind are so ravaged by your ED that there's no way out anymore.

I have been anorexic since I was 15 or 16. I'm now 22 and my body is refusing to keep up with my restrictive eating habits. I'm starting to experience scary and frankly very dangerous health issues, but at this point I'm terrified to take even the most basic harm reduction measures.
Your body WILL NOT tolerate your disordered eating forever. You WILL get sicker the longer you suffer from this life-ruining disease. Your honeymoon period WILL end, and you will find yourself caught, miserable, in a loveless marriage to your ED.
A 30-year-old body is not as resilient as a 25-year-old body is not as resilient as a 20-year-old body is not as resilient as a teenage body.
Recover.

That lower belly bulge is not your uterus, it's fat.
The uterus sits 3-4 inches behind the abdomen, tucked away behind the pelvic bone. If you are not pregnant, you shouldn't be able to see or feel your uterus under the skin.
The lower belly bulge that many women have is actually just fat. It's normal to have extra fat there, it can be protective of inner organs. But it's entirely possible and normal and even sometimes healthy for women to have a completely flat abdomen.
Having a flat tummy does NOT make someone less of a woman, it does not mean they're fake or photoshopped, it does not make them unhealthy, and I'm tired of seeing this disinformation everywhere. The more you know.

Random (pop culture) psychology headcanon #13
Niccolò 'Nico' di Angelo (from Percy Jackson & the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, and The Sun and the Star) has Anorexia nervosa, Post-traumatic stress disorder, and Major depressive disorder.
This isn’t really a headcanon, it’s implied canon but they never outright say it.

@starvingdoll4ever My blog says "pro anas DNI" for a reason. Keep your toxic ed promoting bullshit away from my recovery. I don't need triggering blogs interacting with me when I'm trying to regain my health and sanity. Think of someone but yourself for once and fuck off.

So my older cat is on his way out. He has hyperthyroidism, cancer, and late stage kidney disease. He can barely eat because he has no teeth so we hand feed him when he has trouble. Despite having all the food he can handle, he is still very skinny. Sickly skinny. Do I look at my 21 year old dying cat and think "body goals"? Of fucking course not. He's sick. He's dying of cancer. The same can be said of anorexic bodies- the inhabitants of those bodies are sick and dying, yet society and especially pro anas promote them as "body goals" and "thinspo," yet I doubt any one of them would look at an emaciated animal and think the same. We have more sympathy for dying animals than we do for ourselves. Some of us would starve to get an unhealthily skinny body, but would we ever starve our pets to make them emaciated? I'd hope not. Extend yourself the same compassion. Being sick is nothing to covet. Deadly mental illnesses should never be fetishized or promoted as something to be desired. Take care of your body in the same way you would your dear dying pet. Your life is worth more than suffering to be sick on purpose, you deserve more. Remember that.

I'm thinking about this really amazing-looking hot cocoa recipe I've been seeing on Tumblr for a while, and how I finally worked up the courage to make it a year or two ago.
I'm thinking about how I made the mistake of going to the notes to see if anyone had any tips for making it, because it's an imprecise recipe, and how I saw a comment from someone bashing the hot chocolate for being unhealthy. Saying no one should be making drinks like that, or else [insert fatphobic catastrophizing here]
Dude, it's fucking hot chocolate. No one is mistaking it for Brussels sprouts. But I had and have a restrictive eating disorder and regularly suffer from brain fog and lightheadedness; the fast-acting simple carbohydrates in the hot chocolate would have probably made me feel much better that night. I think my body would have thanked me.
More importantly, I needed the comfort and contentment that a nice warm cup of cocoa would have given me. But that one comment I saw tainted the entire recipe for me. I didn't make it then and I haven't made it since.
If I were actively working to recover, I'd have a much better chance of setting the food-shaming aside and reassuring myself that there is nothing wrong with enjoying a comforting treat. But I was, and still am, in a delicate and vulnerable headspace. And I know—trust me, I know—it's a very small thing. I don't like that a single Internet stranger had such an impact on me, and that it bothers me to this day.
But they did, and it does.
Your words can affect people more than you know. What may seem like an offhand comment to you can harm others. You never know what someone is struggling with, and even if they don't have an eating disorder, shaming their diet, lifestyle, health, or body is not okay and may hurt them more deeply than you realize.
It's not your business how other people eat, what they look like, or what their health status may or may not be. Stay out of their lives and exhibit the basic human decency of allowing them to make their own choices. They didn't ask for your opinion.

Pro Anas taking photos of strangers to share on their blogs as thinspo.
These pro ana blogs are so fucking disgusting sometimes. No surprises there but like... holy shit this is low.
Tumblr media
That device on her arm is called a continuous glucose monitor and is used by diabetics. This poor woman has a serious illness and it could very well be the reason she’s so thin. Or maybe that’s just her body type and she still doesn’t deserve to have pictures of herself taken by a stranger to be posted on the internet as self-harm motivation. Can you imagine if this was you and you stumbled on this post of YOURSELF being used as “thinspo” for disordered teens?? I’d be mortified. I get that anorexia literally eats away at the brain but like damn... make your blog private at the very least. This is so unacceptable. This blogger should really be ashamed of themselves if they aren’t already. Regardless of their mental illness. Stop dragging random people into your hellpit.
BTW: I edited the photo to cover the woman. The pro ana blogger didn’t do that. There was no face showing in the original but my point still stands. I’ll take this post down once that a-hole removes their original post. And stops creepshotting strangers to share online.

Fucked up thing abt diets is they’re all always competing w each other like “don’t do ____ diet, it’ll give u an iron deficiency, do ours instead!” And they all have something they fuck u up on and it’s almost like people are supposed to eat a wide variety of foods at a rate and quantity that is comfortable for them personally so they don’t die of malnutrition
