My grandfather doesn’t use the word “calories” when talking about food…he uses the word “value” instead. I was eating fruit for lunch and he said “if you’re going for a run later you need something more valuable”. I sat there for a while just thinking about the way he said that. Change out a negative word with a positive one and you’ll see start seeing positive change.

21 days

It’s supposed to take 21 days before doing something becomes a habit. 

So just think. 

21 days without binging could be a lifetime of self-control.

21 days of not eating after 6 could mean always waking up skinny.

21 days of actually working out could mean a lifetime of thin.

21 days.

i think the worst uncomfortable fat feeling is when you sit down and you can feel your stomach rolls squeeze and touch each other. i hate it so much. i don’t want to be fat anymore 

[alicelile]

When you count the calories and it’s just too much.

*tries to do a fast and then binges*

ED:

[alicelile]

I have two moods:

I wanna starve

I wanna eat everything

There is nothing in between

[alicelile]

It’s hard to explain but I hate the fact that I need food to survive. Cause like, for example, an alcoholic can stop drinking completely… it’ll be hard, but it’s easier once you’ve fully stopped right? But binging sucks cause I can’t fully stop eating, like I just need to control my intake aND I HATE IT. I wish food was either completely tasteless or wasn’t a necessity. But now it’s like, I need it to survive, and it tastes good so I have to decide what to eat, and also make sure that I eat enough, but not eat more than I need to, which is what I wanna do cause I love the taste. I’m just rambling but I think about this often 🤔😩

I’m not binging, I’m cheating and boosting my metabolism.

I’m not binging, I’m cheating and boosting my metabolism.

I’m not binging, I’m cheating and boosting my metabolism.

I’m not binging, I’m cheating and boosting my metabolism.

I’m not binging, I’m cheating and boosting my metabolism.

I’m not binging, I’m cheating and boosting my metabolism.

*Repeat it to myself until I believe it and not feeling a fat pig with no control over itself*

dear self,

please treat yourself kindly. you are more than your mental illness, and more than your identities… more than where you came from, and especially more than your past. you are more than you know, so much more than you are willing to admit at times. it may be hard to see or realize, and it is hard to remember many times, but it is true. you are plenty, you are more than enough.

just by solely breathing, just by the soft and gentle beating of your heart, you are already enough.

[alicelile]

gentle reminder that you have permission to not always feel amazing in your body. you have permission to have a bad body image day… because you can not feel good in your body every single day. some days will feel better than others, and this is normal. you have more fulfilling things to do in your life than letting your body image determine what you can and cannot do ❤️

dear self pt 2

whoever ends up in your life will think you are worth it and will be willing to put in the work… just know that if the people you surround urself with now don’t think that way, they aren’t the right people for you. you are a great, caring, compassionate person who deserves to be fought for. you are not someone to throw to the side if things get tough. even through your bad days you deserve love.

i hope you also know that you deserve to fight for yourself and love yourself just as much (or know you deserve to work towards that).. stay strong, you got this
