Society influences how we feel about our bodies. There’s societal ideals and norms we have felt obligated to conform too. But these ideals are problematic and NOT the norm. No one can dictate how your body deals with life. I’m in my 30’s I can’t expect to look the same as when I was 16. My body has been through a lot since then- it’s not normal to shrink ourselves of try and fit a made up norm. My body will continue to change because that is life, that is normal. Our bodies adapt with life and changes. Accepting this has been important in my recovery. If you struggle with body image I hear you. But it’s normal for your body to change, and a body that can adapt to carry a child, survive surgeries, illness & aging is a far healthier body than one we try to keep static. #edrecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #ivf #anorexianervosarecovery #allbodiesaregoodbodies #haes #hypothalamicamenorrhea #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisorderecovery #anorexiafighter #anorexiafight #bulimiarecovery #osfed #osfedrecovery #ednosrecovery #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #fuckeatingdisorders #fuckanorexianervosa #mentalhealthrecovery #bodyneutrality #ditchdietculture #antidietculture #antidietproject https://www.instagram.com/p/CTI4UeupMB4/?utm_medium=tumblr

I think “recovery burnout” is real. I think it’s important to be kind to yourself if your feeling it. Use that self kindness tool kit. Recovery doesn’t always look like massive changes everyday. Often it’s boring, but for the days it’s not boring and you’re fighting to be in recovery it’s important to put the work in. Acknowledging it’s boring, tiring is ok. #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #hypothalamicamenorrhea #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery #edwarriors #anorexianervosarecovery #anorexiafighter #anorexiarecovery #bulimiarecovery #bulimierecovery #fuckdietculture #fuckdiet #antifatphobia #fuckeatingdisorders #fuckana #fuckbulimia #fuckanorexianervosa #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexianervosa #bingeeatingrecovery #bingeeatingdisorderrecovery #healthateverysizemovement #haes, #burnoutrecovery #edrecoveryburnout, #selfkindnessmatters #selfkindness #selfcompassionjourney https://www.instagram.com/p/COEWUW_pI69/?igshid=1ixft69vjmm2w

For those of you who read this and think WTF, this post is not for you. Those of you who read this and are experiencing this, then I probably don’t need to explain what it is. But, if you are someone who, the moment they step foot in a supermarket or have a menu in front of you and all you can hear is noise, you’re not alone. I used to walk into supermarkets and instantly freeze & have no clue what I went in for, to be surrounded by so many things I would not “allow” myself to have would feel overwhelming. The arguments that would go on in my brain trying to choose something made it impossible. More often than not I’d leave after 30mins or more empty handed because of the inability to make a decision in those moments was crippling. If that’s where you are now, I’m holding so much space for you. I want you to know, it does get better with recovery and challenging this. 💕 #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisordersupport #edrecoverywarrior #edrecoveryjourney #edawareness #anorexiafighter #anorexiarecover #atypicalanorexiarecovery #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #hypothalamicamenorrhea #bulimiarecovery #bulimiafighter #bingeatingdisorder #livedexperience #orthorexia #orthorexiarecovery #ednoswarrior #osfed #fuckanorexianervosa #fuckeatingdisorders #haes https://www.instagram.com/p/CSv68X-pKqh/?utm_medium=tumblr

A memory came up on my Facebook feed. It reminded me how when I was in the grips of anorexia seeing pictures of myself repulsed me. But they repulsed me no matter how I looked, as I got sicker the more warped this became. When this picture came up on my feed, I didn’t tear it apart. I don’t “love my body” I’m not sure anyone truly does. I’m grateful for what it allows me to do. I have bad body image days but nothing like when I was lost in my own head fighting the eating disorder voice.

Friendly reminder, food can not be “good or bad” it has no moral value. Junk is junk food is food NOT the same thing. You can eat all foods and nothing bad will happen. #antidietculture #antidietproject #antidiet #ditchdiets #ditchdietbrain #ditchdietculture #edrecoverywarrior #edrecovery #edrecoveryquotes #eatingdisordersurvivor #eatingdisorderrecovery #anorexianervosarecovery #anorexiafighter #anorexiarecoverymeal #bulimiarecovery #atypicalanorexia #ednosrecovery #bingeeating #haes #fuckanorexianervosa https://www.instagram.com/p/CNLtq2apsiF/?igshid=1d1liysh0sfl6

We often don’t see ourselves how the world sees us. If you’re having a bad body image day, a negative self talk day, try picturing yourself through the eyes of those who love and care about you. Jinxy- my cat, couldn’t give a shit if my jeans are too snug or my I don’t like what I see in the mirror. That face in that picture is adoration. Fuck the mirror, the photos the negative self chatter. What other people who truly matter see is worth more than any number, image or thought. #equity4eatingdisorders #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderecovery #catsofinstagram #edrecovery #edwarriors #anorexiafighter #anorexia #anorexiasucksass #fuckanorexianervosa #anorexianervosarecovery #bulimiarecovery #bulimiafighter #bulimianervosarecovery #orthorexia #orthorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexia #hypothalamicamenorrhea #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #screwmirrors #ditchdietmentality #ditchdietculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CPb8ixTp4Db/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve lost my appetite a bit this week. But as someone with a history of a restrictive eating disorder I cannot afford to under fuel my body. - In situations where I lose my appetite I still eat 3 meals and snacks. I make myself eat. It’s easier for me to do that than deal with pulling myself out of a relapse. - I saw a smoothie stand today when I was out shopping. I fancied a smoothie. This would have been really hard for me to allow myself to have when I was in the depths of my eating disorder. I would have used the fact I have allergies to avoid it. But I gave myself permission today. I don’t need to micromanage or question my cravings. And no I did not just have a smoothie- a smoothie is not a meal. I’m about to go and make myself lunch too. - I also don’t need to question why I have lost my appetite. It doesn’t matter . I just have to make sure I give my body what it needs. #hypothalamicamenorrhea #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery, #anorexiarecoverywarrior #anorexianervosarecovery #anorexiarecoverymeal #bulimiarecovery #bulimianervosarecovery #bulimierecovery #fuckana #fuckeatingdisorders #fuckanorexianervosa #fuckbulimia #fuckdiets #fuckdietculture #fuckfatphobia #ditchdietculture #ditchdiets #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexianervosa #healthateverysize #healthatanysize #HAES #anorexiarecoverywarrior #anorexiafighter https://www.instagram.com/p/COB3utyJmdz/?igshid=smzyzavujcrx

When we are in the throes of an eating disorder, the inner critic can be so unkind, tearing us to shreds for what we have/ haven’t eaten bla bla. One sentence I find really helpful at times where the ED voice/ inner critic has room to start: “THE END” I use this sentence to help me go about my day, to tell the voice it has no place here. Example: I just ate chocolate. “THE END”. I rested today. THE END I ate more than I planned. THE END. There does not need to be any further judgement/ questioning. If I’m struggling using this sentence can help me move forward. THE END. #edrecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #livedexperience #eatingdisorderecovery #anorexiafighter #anorexianervosarecovery #atypicalanorexiarecovery #bingeatingrecovery #bulimiarecovery #bulimiafighter #orthorexiarecovery #osfedrecovery #ednosrecovery #mentalhealthrecovery #ditchdietculture #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #fuckanorexia #fuckanorexianervosa #fuckeatingdisorders #antifatphobia #antidietproject #antidietculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CS2pZ3Ph1O0/?utm_medium=tumblr

First of all, any struggle is valid, regardless of any diagnostic criteria. If you are struggling, it is valid, period. Next, Eating disorders can be shape shifters. I personally though the years would have met many different diagnostic criteria’s for my ED, it just happened to meet one set of criteria at the time I started treatment. It doesn’t matter what diagnosis you have held, currently hold- because the only thing that matters is that you recover. You have to recover from your eating disorder (all forms and shades of it not just the ones that fit neatly with a particular diagnosis, ALL OF IT.) #eatingdisorderrecovery #weightbiasinhealthcare #doctorsmentalhealthmatters #doctorswithmentalhealthissues #edrecovery #edresearch #edrecoveryisworthit #anorexiafighter #anorexia #anorexianervosarecovery #fuckanorexianervosa #eatingdisorderecovery #atypicalanorexiaisanorexia #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #bingeeatingdisorderrecovery #antidietculture #ditchdietculture #orthorexiarecovery #orthorexia #arfid #arfidrecovery #osfedrecovery #bedrecovery https://www.instagram.com/p/CQkjEFqJvEe/?utm_medium=tumblr

My journey won’t be the same as yours. Some things may resonate more to one person than another. I share posts during recovery with things I have found helpful. If it helps someone else great. If it doesn’t help you, that’s fine. But you have the choices of what is and isn’t harmful. I know that I am very careful with who I follow. A person who talks about eating disorder recovery and weight loss at the same time is not someone I intend to follow. They likely have a lot of their own healing, fat bias to conquer. Take what’s helpful to you leave the rest. #bodypositivity #doctorsmentalhealthmatters #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery #eatingdisordersurvivor #eatingdisorderawareness #antidiet #antidietculture #bodyacceptance #anorexianervosarecovery #anorexiafighter #anorexiaawareness #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiaisanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #bulimia #bulimiarecovery #bulimiafighter #bingeeatingrecovery #orthorexia #orthorexiarecovery #arfidrecovery #osfedrecovery #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #hypothalamicamenorrhea #fatstigma #weightstigma #ditchdietculture #fuckeatingdisorders #fuckanorexianervosa https://www.instagram.com/p/CQmeNHRJFkG/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is an important one in recovery. I noticed recently my inner critic had become the predominant voice. This goes hand in hand with slips. When we are struggling with an ED we can be so self critical. I noticed these negative thoughts that were popping up, the black and white thinking. I think it’s helpful to reframe them, to kill them with kindness. Staying in recovery, getting yourself back up from slips can be difficult. But it is always possible. You have all you need to do that. I know making self care, self compassion a priority not an after thought is huge for me. That means resting when I need to, getting back on my yoga mat, making time for things I enjoy. Listening to how I am talking to myself tells me a lot. If it’s negative it’s because I need to focus on my needs. I’ve never been a massive fan of affirmations. But I do believe this one: You can do hard things! #eatingdisorderecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecoverycommunity #edrecoverywarrior #edrecovery #anorexiarecovery #anorexiafighter #anorexianervosarecovery #atypicalanorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexia #bulimiarecovery #bulimianervosarecovery #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #hypothalamicamenorrhea #orthorexiarecovery #bingeeatingdisorderrecovery #osfedrecovery #antidietrevolution #ditchdietculture #selfcare #selfcompassion #fuckeatingdisorders #fuckanorexianervosa https://www.instagram.com/p/CRBDB-cJG7A/?utm_medium=tumblr
