positive & neutral affirmations for ed recovery pt. 2 
pt. 1 here
Neutral:
my recovery body may be different than I'm used to, but it's taking care of me
I deserve a life that does not revolve around my ed and ed behaviors
I deserve to have neutrality with food
I deserve to have body neutrality
I'm not content with my body yet, and that's okay
I'm content with my body, and that's okay
I am making good strides
relapsing does not take away the progress I have made
having a bad body image day/week/month/year does not mean my recovery isn't valid
my experience with my ed is valid, no matter what my life looked like at the time (or looks like)
my body takes care of me and loves me
missing my ed does not mean I'm failing at recovery
I am taking it day by day and I'm proud of myself
it's okay to be proud of myself for doing well
I'm going to be okay
I deserve good things
my body needs food
my body deserves all the nutrients it needs
Positive:
my recovery body may look different than it ever has before, but it's beautiful and deserving of love
I deserve to have food freedom
I deserve to experience body positivity
I like my body
I love my body
no matter what weight/size I am, I'm gorgeous/handsome none the less
relapsing doesn't take away the progress I've made in my recovery
having a bad body image day/week/month/year does not mean my recovery is valid
my experience with my ed is valid, no matter what my life looked like at the time (or looks like)
my body loves me and takes care of me, no matter what
I'm doing well and I'm proud of myself
there is no size limit on beauty
I'll make it out of this
I deserve to eat when I'm hungry
I deserve a good, well rounded life
I can eat food I love
I can wear the clothes I want
I'm confident (or I can learn to be)
For all:
No one deserves an eating disorder (if you're thinking yes, you don't!!)
I deserve happiness
I deserve recovery
my ed is not part of my identity
it does not define me
It's going to be okay
I'll make it out of this
I deserve to live
I can face my fear foods
I am strong enough to make it through my ed
if you need help, please feel free to message me or send an ask <3

TW: mention of eating disorder
Guys I have suffered from eating disorder for like…7 years maybe (?) and today, this evening, half an hour ago, I walked up to the mirror and thought ”Omg I look so soft, my body is so cute!!”
This is amazing. This feels unbelievable. I have battled it and this feels like pure victory. I unconciously, without thinking, walked up to a mirror and thought a beautiful thing about my body. And it was not ”I look skinnier than before” but the very opposite. I just took a moment to appreciate and feel happiness about the softness in every part of my body. The joy of having fat🥰
I hope to encourage each of you, my internet soul-siblings with a similar background. You can get to the point of self-love, it is there waiting for you❤️

A huge recovery game changer is when you realise it’s not about avoiding triggers, but about learning to trust yourself enough to not be influenced by them.

Hey! I know you’re stressed and worried, but please don’t take it out on your body. It’s easy to over work ourselves when we’re anxious, but when you put your body under physical strain it only makes it worse in the long run. Take some deep breathes, try redirecting the energy to something more restful. You’ll get through this.

Reach out
Early this morning I received a message informing me that one of my friends and fellow dancers from the dance studio made an attempt to end her own life last night. Shock, disbelief, confusion and worry are swirling for me right now. I have so many questions like what the hell happened, what was going on for Erika that led her to this?
Thankfully Erika is still alive & currently in the hospital receiving medical attention and treatment. I know the holidays are extremely difficult for so many people & I don't know if that contributed to Erika's decision to attempt suicide but if you are reading this and struggling or lonely or stressed or feeling suicidal this holiday season please talk to someone. You can message me on either of my blogs (this one or my main one).
One thing I have gathered about Erika is whatever problems she was having she hid it & kept it all to herself- to deal with alone. Her family has told me that they never knew anything was wrong and that is the same for myself, & our other friends. I wish she would have talked to someone, talked to me. I know many people hesitate to reach out especially surrounding mental health problems but dealing alone comes at a major price and it's not helpful. Again, my inbox is open if you decide you don't want to first talk to someone directly in your life. I don't have any degrees or many answers but I can be here. This post is giving a PSA vibe but I wanted to put this out there. It's important.

Ah, the nostalgia!
Bought myself some fresh sourdough bread from the local bakery. I loved bread as a kid. Can't believe I've been abstaining from enjoying a slice of a regular fucking bread for like 2 years. I used to snack on plain bread heels with some salt and butter as a kid everyday lol. And that's on being slavic... or just growing up poor, the line is kind of blurry.
No rice cakes or nasty protein "breads" anymore.
Only real bread.

So I found this challenge in Instagram, and each day you need to do something that will help in your eating disorder recovery.
I started today (day 5) and already completed the challenge!

If you're experiencing a relapse, please understand that you are not alone. You do not have to pursue it any farther just because you slipped up and started it. Your pre-relapse progress has not been erased and you are not incapable of healing.

Random fact about me: While it is partly true I like to get more stretching in besides our warm up...the bigger reason I show up at the dance studio 10-15 minutes before class starts is because I secretly love being in an empty studio. I have no idea why but sitting alone in an empty dance studio room is my absolute happy place. So yeah I sat alone in a dance studio room before a two hour ballet class today.

Now you have a tid bit more useless knowledge about me. Happy Wednesday!

This is objectively a healthy lunch. But I want to recognise that an obsessively healthy mindset will never find something "healthy enough" and I need to always remember to keep fighting that.
I bought this really tasty quinoa cranberry bean mix, and then it sat in my fridge. And it sat. And sat.
I struggle with the idea of eating premade food, from plastic containers, with industrial oils. So even though I really wanted this, something in my head was still lingering from my "stuck in ED town" phase.
Which is exactly why I had to put it all in a plate and eat it today. And paired it with extra veggies I had to use up.
It's such a simple thing, but so necessary for my healing.
