DON’T STOP

You have already started. This is the hard part, but don’t give up. You will regret it. Keep going, you will get there!!

I hate my boobs, theyre too big. I like that I have them but theyre such a nuisance. Thats one of my biggest motivators for losing weight.

✨ When I'm skinnier my boobs will be smaller ✨

Someone really needs to come and freaking control me cause right now I'm really losing it and I feel like a goddamn pig

once you deny yourself that craving once, then twice, you’ll find yourself at the end of a week having denied it 50 times.

discipline builds up. don’t give up, don’t give yourself that “one time.” I promise it doesn’t exist and it will snowball.

always remember that food is not a reward, restriction is.

when you want to take a second helping, when you want to eat lunch with everyone else, when you’re alone and want to reach for snacks, when you’re out and want to eat unhealthy fast food - remember this. you’ll never get far unless you start now; start resisting your old habits and making new ones.

work hard for what you want.

take care.

stop admiring other peoples bodies and make them admire yours

I just said 'you shouldnt put this in front of me or Im gonna eat it all' in a jokey manner to my sister and she said 'why? Youre not a dog.'

She made me feel so fat and ugly in a matter of seconds

I've been feeling really useless lately and I think I'm very close to rock bottom

I can't do anything right and I'm so frustrated with myself. I don't know how long I can keep this going

Day 1 of getting back to low calorie

Last couple of days, weeks even, I've really let myself go. I feel a little disgusted with myself and in general just down, so I'm gonna get back to my low calorie diet from before and I'm gonna nail it.

I will be posting an update every once in a while about how it's going to motivate and discipline myself, because I really want to not fail this time.

So, today wasn't even that hard, I've eaten low calorie food and small amounts so I wasnt hungry and it's been going good. However it's 4 pm right now and my biggest struggle is the evening so that's still coming.

But let's gooooooo! I can do this

growing up I was always afraid of being Found Out. not sure what I was hiding. just my whole self I guess

It’s so fucking exhausting fighting your brain every day dude

If you have trouble with eating just to have something to do, put on lipgloss, and then make it a rule that you’re not allowed to eat until it wears away throughout the day (mine takes about 5-6 hours to wear away).

I feel so much more at ease when I decide that I'm not gonna eat for a day, but that's also really weird cause I've been having so much trouble with binging lately

Does anyone else feel that way or is it just me?

For anyone who is struggling with their mental health and/or self care, I found a great app that can help! Finch has helped me a lot these past weeks with taking the time to calm down, understand what I'm feeling and how I can deal with it. Also the app is shaped like you're taking care of a pet, but in reality it's about yourself and I find that really motivating.

If you want a place to write down your feelings and get to know what they mean, Finch is a great place to start :)

You need sleep

Based on your messed up sleep schedule

Welcome back to its really hot and I’m going to murder someone

Honestly how do people live without dogs

Broke my ankle and now I can't walk for like 3 weeks or more... Don't know if this is gonna help with my eating habits or worsen them, but I secretly hope I literally am unable to go to the supermarket /hj

:/

reblog if you need to lose 40 pounds (18kg) or more

When i asked to be fucked i did not mean by life

I bought a scale to weigh myself, I just did and now I feel disgusting

I've failed myself so much these last 3 weeks.. I've been eating without looking at the calories and giving up even trying to limit what I've been eating, making these dumb excuses for myself.

I feel unbelievably disgusting and fat. So angry at myself for letting it get to this point.

This is the time that something needs to happen, because I know that I won't be able to hold on like this for long.

Having an eating disorder is far too goddamn fucking annoying. I'm either torn between starving myself until it hurts or eating because I know I'll just fail at starving.

friendly reminders to self-harmers

Don't overuse antibiotics like neosporin, polysporin, etc, they can cause bacterial resistance and you'll be fucked if you get an actual infection. Use them only if a wound looks sketchy

Do NOT clean injured skin with alcohol or peroxide. Use them to disinfect anything that you have or are going to use to harm yourself (cutters, razor blades, etc) to avoid any funky stuff going into your body, use either a fragance free soap (doesn't have to be antiseptic or antibacterial but it's better if it is), iodine or another antiseptic meant for wounds to clean injured skin. Alcohol and peroxide can impede healing when used long term.

Never, and i mean never, use rusty stuff to harm yourself, things of dubious origins or dirty things. I dont care if you are vaccinated. There are ways to clean and disinfect stuff and get rid of rust.

You don't always need to cover you wounds (obviously if you dont feel comfortable not covering them because you don't want others noticing its okay!) if they're shallow but for deeper cuts (styros and deeper) you might want to, this way its easier for them to be in a sterile environment and stay moist, which minimizes scarring, promotes faster healing and prevents infection. If you want to cover your wounds change the dressing regularly and clean the wounds regularly.

Don't cut too deep if you aren't ready to go to an hospital. Some deep wounds ("beans" aka hypodermis/fat layer and anything under it) is likely to need stitches. For styros and some light beans you can do well with steri strips and bandages, but please go to an hospital if you cut very deep.

Finally:

Eat well and drink water (i know many people who sh have eds as well but your body cant repair itself well if you dont eat well)

Sleep well, also at night (because your body repairs itself better when you're sleeping during the night)

Moisturize your wounds often (preferrably vaseline for the first few days or as long as you can, after the first few days you can use a moisturizer that's apt for sensitive skin)

Dont shower too often (hot water can strip your skin of natural oils and also irritate it, so if you shower everyday with hot water try to do it every other day or shower with colder water)

Dont wear tight clothing on fresh wounds

CHANGE !! DRESSINGS !! REGULARLY !! AND DONT PICK ON SCABS!!!

i’m not doing bad enough to deserve or need help because i’m happy sometimes and i can usually function “normally”.

but i have cuts covering my arm and i’m eating badly.

but i shouldn’t be doing those things because i should be able to cope and i’m not doing that badly.

but i clearly can’t cope if i’m resulting to these negative coping mechanisms.

but i’m not like going to kms or anything.

but i wouldn’t be complaining if i didn’t wake up tomorrow.
