No lie, learning about BMR (how many calories your body burns just doing basic functions like breathing, circulating blood, and maintaining brain activity) completely changed my mindset regarding calories. It was something I struggled a lot with even after recovering from my ED and getting more involved in body and food-positive communities, but researching BMR really drove home how much work my body does just by existing and how dangerous calorie restriction actually is.
If you count or restrict calories, PLEASE look up information on BMR that does NOT come from diet or weight loss companies. See how much energy your body is using just to keep you alive and what it means to be eating 1500 calories a day (or even less) when your body is burning 1400-1700 just by existing. Calories are not the villain, they're the fuel that your body desperately needs.

Shout out to folks suffering with eating disorders. I hope you know that whatever body you have is worthy of love, & I hope your next meal is filling.
It's hard to quit, once you start to starve yourself, but even if you can just start small by getting a snack when hungry, I think you can & should break out of that. I've been hungry, in this life, & I don't think anyone deserves what it does to you.

I like to say my eating isn't THAT disordered, but then I remember all I ate yesterday was a bagel (just a plain bagel, I'm fussy with my foods) and it took me three fucking hours to finish.
Also I cried about the calories after I finished it 🥲

I had a rice toast with cream cheese and jam for breakfast, but I couldn't take a pic.
And I also had to eat something sugary in the afternoon, because I almost fainted.

(Oat, pumpkin, spinach, egg whites).
Sauce:
100 g tomato puree.
