π TW: body weight / ED
i just wanna preface this by saying i was
extremely ill and malnourished in the second
photo and my body at that time is absolutely not
something to strive for and not something i wanna be praised for.
these photos are taken a year apart. i've
struggled with eating for most of my life due to a
lot of different factors like trauma, ocd and
sensory issues. a year ago a was struggling to eat
one meal a day. the thought of eating, deciding
what to eat, making sure it's fresh and clean,
being okay with the texture, the actual thought of
putting food into my mouth, chewing, and
swallowing was far too much for me to deal with
and would often lead to meltdowns and avoiding
food altogether. it often still is too much for me,
but i've gotten better at coping, I've found healthy
safe foods, i've put things in place to help myself
feel more comfortable with food, i've started
exercising, valuing my health and listening to my
body. now i eat two meals every day, i usually
have snacks and im drinking so much more water.
smoothies with a lil bit of fibre powder for
breakfast have changed my life. it's not a huge
improvement and i still struggle every single day
but i can really feel the difference. i don't feel like
my body is withering away, im not in pain and
fatigued 24/7, i actually have some energy to do
the other shit i need to do to work on my mental
health, my mind doesn't feel so foggy which has
helped me to think more rationally in times of
stress, and I'm so proud to say that i've gained
almost 15kg and hit my weight goal!!! π₯Ίπ
