ok this is why starving yourself is a bad idea
There is not a person on Earth who shouldn’t read this.
It’s logical. It uses numbers. It’s right. It’s what you (general you) need to hear. I want to shove this down the throat of anyone who advocates a starvation diet, be that pro-ana, KE, anything that has you consuming less than 1200 calories a day. (Don’t get me started on keto diets).

If being “thin” means I have to give up my mind, my health, my perceptions, my sanity, myself, my life, trust, and people around me… then no thanks. I’d rather be healthy and happy, and living a life that’s maybe too short to be wasted and hated.

you’ll laugh until you cry.
it’s a mockery of pro-anorexia online communities. and it’s brilliant. perfectly our style of humour, i think i can say for the other girls too.
trigger warning for some of the thinspo images.
also a warning that you may laugh until you cry.
“Being strong isn’t being able to starve yourself for three weeks. Being strong is being able to get out of your eating disorder and becoming healthy, even when the voice in your head won’t let you. Ignoring this voice IS being the strongest, so don’t ever give up”

Oh yes, when you’re hunched over and frail with the body of someone sixty years older than you, you’ll be able to pull off those cheeky denim shorts.
When you’re unable to find the energy to get out of bed in the morning because your head spins every time you stand, your heart beats out of time and your limbs feel like lead, it will be worth it because at least you’ll look sexy in that new matching lingerie set.
You’ll be the envy of all your friends when you turn up to a party looking emaciated and skeletal with lanugo covering your disgustingly thin arms and hollow face.
When you’re holding your mother as she cries in your arms, begging you to get better, pleading with the universe to not let you die, you’ll look in the mirror and thank Ana for letting you look like a goddess.But when you die, when you’ve got a tube down your throat and are plugged into machines, you will be rocking that hospital gown and looking as glamorous as ever. That’s all that Anorexia is, right? All you ever wanted was to look good in clothes. You wanted to look good naked.
I tell you what you’ll be “looking good” in though- a coffin.

Anonymous asked: sometimes i think i should stop eating, sometimes i think life would be easier if i didn't have that little bit of excess fat, sometimes i think i'm weak and pathetic for not being able to stop myself eating things, sometimes i get drawn in by things telling me how to not eat. I just found this, thank you so much.
you are so welcome. you are beautiful and there’s more than this and we are always here x

Why is it accepted that some people who eat a ton of food can stay thin, but not accepted that some people who eat a small amount of food can be fat?
Since thin people get diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure, why is becoming thin suggested as a cure?
Why bother using BMI as a substitute for metabolic health measures when we can easily test metabolic health measures?
Doctors treat thin people for joint pain with options other than weight loss, why don’t they give fat people those same treatments?
Why do we believe that doing unhealthy things (liquid diet, smoking, urine injections coupled with starvation, stomach amputation) will lead to a healthy body?
If the diet industry’s product actually “cured fatness”, wouldn’t their profits be going down instead of up as more and more people were permanently thin?
Isn’t it medically unethical to prescribe something without telling your patients that it works less than 5% of the time with a much greater chance at leaving you heavier and less healthy than when you started?
Why do people continue to think that shaming people will lead them to health?
Why do we accept wide variations in things like foot and hand size, nose and lip shape etc. but expect every body to fit into a very narrow proportion of height and weight?
If weight gain isn’t proven to cause diabetes, high blood pressure etc., why would weight loss be recommended as a cure?
Since weight loss ads have to carry a “results not typical” warning, shouldn’t doctors have to give patients a similar warning?
Why do people take the time to come to my blog and make death threats?
Does anyone really succeed at hating themselves healthy? If so is it worth it?
If we’ve been prescribing dieting since the 1800s and still can’t prove that it works, shouldn’t we be trying something else?
How is it possible that suggesting that healthy habits are the best chance for a healthy body is controversial?
"Update on a recent post: When I said that it seems like all of my treatment friends are dying, I mean it.
One girl I was really close to has been hospitalized for the last four months. Her kidney are now failing. She also has mitral valve prolapse. According to Google, that is “heart problem in which the valve that separates the upper and lower chambers of the left side of the heart does not close properly.”
There is nothing glamourous about this life. An eating disorder will only kill you eventually.
