My mouth waters
I taste heavy, I feel possessed
My hands move, my belly empty
My thoughts not my own, my actions
Plenty
And I am hungry, so hungry,
It growls, so lewd and loud and heavy
So heavy
My bones pop and grind, it aches
I hurt
So empty, so hungry
Eyes burning, tongue swollen
So hungry, so unfulfilled
My hands grasp and pull and grasp,
And pull,
My plate is empty
My bowl is empty
I have eaten it all and tasted nothing
And I am so hungry, so empty
My cheeks hallow
My gut rumbles
My mouth waters
I dream of your flesh
Between my teeth
And my mouth waters
How much of this love
Is only hunger
For what I always denied myself
How much of it
Is real
Is whole
Unburdened
My mouth waters
I drool
With thoughts of you
Cut to pieces on a plate, sauce heavy
Thick gravy
Jeweled root vegetables bestowed upon your crown,
Sumptuous, delicious feast
Of human bone
And gristle

I know this is a food blog where I don't really discuss feelings so much beyond my feelings about each meal, but for those in recovery or those active in their EDs who only see this blog: recovery is so worth it. I haven't been this happy in 13 years; just eating enough has made such a difference in my depression and day to day emotions. I laugh now, I wake up excited for the day ahead, I barely cry anymore, I'm not dreading parties where food is involved, I'm not making every month be about my "cleanse" and weigh ins, I'm not suicidal anymore, I stopped self harming, I'm just.. living. For the first time in over a decade I feel alive. I'm not suffering day in and day out, it really is insane how much better I feel physically and emotionally. Recovery is hard, no doubt about it, but being stuck in restriction and endless depression is so much worse.
Recover. It's worth it, I promise ❤️

I’m experiencing extreme hunger. I hate my body, and everything that comes with it. From my soul to the way my legs rub together now as I walk. How do I make it stop, it’s like I physically cannot stop eating.
I hate it I hate it I hate it

motivation for recovery
eat cake on your birthday
picknicks
eat the things you bake
travel
make your dreams come true
apologize to your childhood self
eat crêpes at the christmas market
popcorn when you go to the cinema
have different things on your mind than just food
be confident
make friendships
fix the relationship with people you like
be able to concentrate
have the energy to do the things you love
have children someday (if you want to)
try new foods
so you actually have a real personality
you don’t have to always say no if someone offers you food
you don’t waste even more time caring about the least interesting thing about you (your body)
to be actually happy

I don’t know what the fuck it is but I’m so tired of getting cavernously hungry, even when I’m eating, and getting all this debilitating symptoms where I can’t do shit and just feel so so sick
maybe it’s just withdrawal or the tism but I sure wish I knew

Struggling the last few days with behaviours. It's sent me into a spiral of depression, guilt, suicidal ideation and SH urges. But I can and will pull myself out this, this doesn't have to keep going or have much meaning. I'm going to try and be compassionate to myself, but man I feel like shit :(

I think one of the hardest things about trying to switch to an "eat when you're hungry" mentality is that I still don't really know when I'm hungry. I'm getting much better at recognising hunger signals and not compulsively ignoring them, but after years of feeling terrible, gnawing, aching hunger and treating it as background noise, nothing that I feel now actually registers with me. I haven't felt what I would call ""proper hunger"" for a while, and it makes it almost harder to realise that I *am* hungry.

Here’s a pineapple banana smoothie I topped with walnuts! Just one banana, maybe 7 pineapple slices and some milk :)
Big news, I’m going to see a nutritionist in September! It may seem a while away and I may look like I’m taking care of things on my own, but getting with a nutritionist will help me pursue weight loss in a way that still respects my body and gives me energy! I’ve put weight loss on the back burner until then, working on my relationship with food and body image (which is admittedly poor.)
I had been majorly restricting my food, but last week and moving forward I decided to get back to at least maintenance. I had a few days of extreme hunger which was difficult but worth it to honor, and I still have a larger appetite than usual. I’m still counting calories at most meals (okay, every meal), but I’ve stopped counting them up and upsetting myself at the end of the day.
Some big wins have been having enough energy to bike again, learning how to make fried chicken, and even though it triggered me afterwards, I got to try a delicious “chocolately pretzel” McFlurry! The calories on it was astonishing, but I had been restricting that day anyways… I still see progress ♥️

Fought the bad thoughts and had a peanut butter and fluff sandwich and a few tiny pieces of candy, and I didn't measure the PB or fluff because I didn't want more dishes to do tomorrow, so I ~ate intuitively~ instead of sticking to strict calories. And I'm not going to turn it into a binge either.. I need to learn to not live in extremes; that's a big party of recovery for me so exposure therapy is the way to go 👍
