I really wish this was a thing I saw a few years ago, but I’m glad it’s circulation is moving strong. Just like you my wonderful followers <3<3<3 be brave darlings, I believe in you
Take care of yourself, guys. Eating is good for you, your body needs it or it will shut down. If you feel like you need to get healthier or lose weight, there’s tons of ways you can do that, that doesn’t put your body in danger. NEVER STARVE YOURSELF
“nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” more like “nothing tastes as good as your favorite foods when you’re hungry and your body needs love because food is nutrients and being skinny actually makes you feel worse”
This will be good for you
romanticizing mental illness is dangerous and misleading
Artsy depression: haunted eyes, good at art, emo hair and eyeliner on point
Actual Depression: bloodshot eyes, no longer trust themselves with pencils, has not showered in five days
Quirky OCD: organized books, clean room, color coordinated outfits
Actual OCD: Intrusive thoughts, flipping the light switch 8 times so you don’t stab your brother, picking holes in your skin
Cute eating disorders: Slim trim and beautiful, shyly refusing a second helping, dancer aesthetic
Actual eating disorders: Puffy cheeks and eroded teeth from excessive vomiting, hair growing over your freezing body and refusing to eat carrots because they’re too high in carbs
Adorable anxiety: just a smol bean, soft, must be protected from the world
Actual anxiety: crying so hard you throw up, shaking, losing sleep over a period after the “okay”
RPG PTSD: flashbacks, vietnam, u don’t know what i’ve been through kiddo
Actual PTSD: Buying your first pregnancy test at twelve, flinching at high fives, i can’t feel my hands where am I what year is it
Cartoon ADHD: look a squirrel, something shiny, fidgety loveable bufoon
Actual ADHD: rereading the same page over and over because it doesn’t make sense, hasn’t done the laundry in four months, hyperfocusing on a mushroom knowing you have work to do
stop making terrifying realities seem cute. it’s disrespectful for those of us who are actually struggling
god, this.
i’m in aesthetic hell like i want to be a classy history museum girl who wears blouses and flowy skirts and ballet flats and wine red lipstick and cute gold rings but i also wanna be a badass punk chick who wears black skinny jeans and band shirts and has a nose piercing and cool choppy hair and big stompy doc martens but i also wanna be an art kid who wears mom jeans and cute graphic tees and worn out converse and has flowers in her hair but i also wanna be a glowy sexy girl who has an impeccable highlight and wears gold hoops and slinky silk dresses and in the end i can’t be any of them so i just sit here in my boring jeans and shirts
When we’re skinny!!!!

Christmas is coming up quickly, which means lots of high calorie foods, so I have a suggestion
If you are at all able
I urge you to enjoy it.
Your mother bought your favorite candy, just for you, and put it in your stocking. Eat it with a smile. Enjoy it. Relish the flavor. I’m sure you haven’t had it in a while. It would make her so happy.
Indulge in one of the Christmas cookies, cakes, pies, etc. that your family or friends make.
Eat Christmas dinner with the ones you love, tell stories, laugh, and enjoy every single bit of it.
If you are at all able
Celebrate this time with food and love.
There will always be tomorrow. You can lose your weight tomorrow, you can restrict tomorrow.
❄ happy holidays ❄
i fully support this, don’t look back at these important times only remembering how anxious you were about the food and counting numbers in your head. give yourself some slack on the holidays, even if it’s hard. there IS always tomorrow to restrict.
“I hope there are days when your coffee tastes like magic, your playlist makes you dance, strangers make you smile, and the night sky touches your soul. I hope there are days when you fall in love with being alive.”

Gentle note to my followers
Please eat
Please drink water
Please take your meds
Please get some sleep
And please know that I love you
You are absolutely allowed to abandon a relationship that no longer works for you regardless of the type of relationship or the length of it. Being in love is not a reason to stay in a situation where your needs aren’t being met.
