So often I see “wellness adds, magazines” referring to eating more that recommended portion sizes as bingeing. This is problematic at minimum, majorly harmful to individuals who actually experience binge eating disorder or those trying to recover from a restrictive eating disorder. First of all, a portion size is not real- it’s part of the fat phobic society we live. A portion size is whatever your body requires or you want. Referring to eating more, is not the same as bingeing. Bingeing is medical diagnosis characterized by loss of control, eating more than typical in a short space of time and the most important part is the EXTREME psychological distress it causes. In ED recovery it is completely normal to eat much much more than an individual who has never experienced an ED, it makes sense your repairing the damage both physically and MENTALLY. Extreme hunger is not bingeing it’s eating what you need. These labeling used by diet culture is total crap. STOP CALLING NORMAL EATING BINGEING. #bingeeating #bingeeatingrecovery #wellness #dietculturesucks #dietculture #fitness #healthyfood #anorexiarecoverywarrior #healthateverysize #nodiettoday #bulimiarecovery #bulimia #bulimiafighter #anorexiarecoverywarrior #anorexiarecoverymeal #anorexiafighter #edrecovery #eatingdisordersawareness #eatingdisorderecovery #osfedrecovery #orthorexiaawareness #orthorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #ednosrecovery #dietsareharmful #mentalhealthawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/CTVNypPhVNU/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve lost my appetite a bit this week. But as someone with a history of a restrictive eating disorder I cannot afford to under fuel my body. - In situations where I lose my appetite I still eat 3 meals and snacks. I make myself eat. It’s easier for me to do that than deal with pulling myself out of a relapse. - I saw a smoothie stand today when I was out shopping. I fancied a smoothie. This would have been really hard for me to allow myself to have when I was in the depths of my eating disorder. I would have used the fact I have allergies to avoid it. But I gave myself permission today. I don’t need to micromanage or question my cravings. And no I did not just have a smoothie- a smoothie is not a meal. I’m about to go and make myself lunch too. - I also don’t need to question why I have lost my appetite. It doesn’t matter . I just have to make sure I give my body what it needs. #hypothalamicamenorrhea #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery, #anorexiarecoverywarrior #anorexianervosarecovery #anorexiarecoverymeal #bulimiarecovery #bulimianervosarecovery #bulimierecovery #fuckana #fuckeatingdisorders #fuckanorexianervosa #fuckbulimia #fuckdiets #fuckdietculture #fuckfatphobia #ditchdietculture #ditchdiets #atypicalanorexia #atypicalanorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexianervosa #healthateverysize #healthatanysize #HAES #anorexiarecoverywarrior #anorexiafighter https://www.instagram.com/p/COB3utyJmdz/?igshid=smzyzavujcrx

My husband used to say my eating disorder responses were like Gollum. For me, I think this is a great metaphor. Gollum represents many things and utter conflict that can go on with an ED. For me this helped me to pause and look at where these responses were coming from. That doesn’t mean I used Gollum as an excuse- Gollum was me, but it was a still me the parts that were struggling against each other. Gollum obsessed over numbers, we are enslaved by the ED, my “precious” was the numbing and the highs of the ED. It’s unsurprising we become “angry, anxious” when we attempt to separate it. But smeagal is kind- you are kind, your healthy voice is this. #anorexiarecoverywarrior #anorexiarecovering #anorexiamemes #anorexiafight #edrecovery #edrecoverymemes #edrecoverywarrior #eatingdisorderrecovery #bulimiarecovery #bulimiafighter #bulimianervosarecovery #fuckeatingdisorders #fuckanorexia #orthorexiarecovery ##osfedrecovery #atypicalanorexiarecovery #atypicalanorexia #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthmatters #itsokaynottobeokay #hypothalamicamenorrhearecovery #eatingdisordermemess #gettingwell https://www.instagram.com/p/CTOtYL_JktU/?utm_medium=tumblr
