Listen to me now, I need to let you know you don’t have to go it alone.

Via Eating Disorder RecoveryThe anorexic mind doesn’t just magically go away when weight is gained
- it gets more active.
Anorexia becomes bigger and stronger as it struggles to hold on,
as it fights for its life.
For National Eating Disorders Awareness Week—which starts today—the Renfrew Center, one of the best-known eating disorder treatment facilities in the United States,is sponsoring a new campaign. Called “Barefaced and Beautiful,” it’s encouraging women to post photos of themselves on various social media without any makeup. The point is to … well, they sort of lost me on that. I think the idea is to display pride in one’s natural, unadorned self, the idea being that … you don’t need to … adorn yourself … with an eating disorder?
Love your parents. We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old.

In honor of today being self-harm awareness day, I wanted to say something about recovery. I often hear of people who don’t get the help they truly need because they fear it won’t work. They’re afraid they’ll let people down by relapsing.
I thought about this for a long…
About me
Stay strong-we are in this together. It's all about support!Fighting pro-ana/pro-mia sites; trigger-free and thinspo-free zone.
I'm a nineteen year old girl, and have struggled with multiple eating disorders for the past three years (overexercising, restricting, binging and purging, etc., eventually diagnosed anorexic with bulimic tendencies). After a 'successful' recovery two years ago, I had one major relapse last year, and this time I am trying to pull myself out of this without professional help. From experience, I've learned that sheer willpower and the belief that you can help yourself are the most useful weapons against ED; your own mind can either kill you or save your life. I am determined to do this with just the help of myself and others' support. I'm confident that I now have the knowledge and tools I need to fight this myself, and I know I'm stronger this time.
This is strictly a pro-recovery blog for sharing support and positive messages, regardless of whether you are seeking or in professional treatment, or are choosing to try self-recovery. I am on a mission to help others fighting these disorders stay strong. Pro-ana and pro-mia sites encouraged my relapse, while recovery blogs like this one have sped up my recovery tremendously and given me a lot of hope. I truly believe that just knowing you're not alone in your struggle can have a huge impact on recovery. I am here whenever any of you need me. <3
It's time to start living again. We are worth it!
