Flashback to the time when I told my friend in 6th grade that I weighed under 60 pounds and he said, “No you don’t, you would be a lot thinner if you weighed that much.” I then went home and starved myself for days in end, and didn’t stop until recently. I’m now on the edge of an eating disorder. Thanks for telling me I didn’t look small enough to have a eating problem, it really helped.

Reclaiming My Body

I’ve done so much healing of my relationship with food and my body over the last year and a half. I feel like I’m undoing a lifetime of body hatred and it’s a lot of work! 

Having professional and group support in my recovery has been life-changing for me. But I know that not everyone has the time, money, or capacity to pursue recovery. So I’m sharing some of the good stuff I’ve learned (mostly from my coach and support group!)

I don’t diet anymore.

If you can mess up, get it wrong, or fail, it’s a diet. 

I don’t diet anymore. 

I give myself total and complete permission to eat. I don’t restrict food physically or emotionally.

I honor both my hunger and my fullness.

I pay attention to what makes me feel good -- and not just food -- also people, places, activities, inner thoughts, etc.

Daily movement helps my moods and makes me feel strong. I choose enjoyable activities. It doesn’t have to be hardcore.

When the eating feels chaotic, I go back to the basics: three meals + two snacks as needed.

I parent myself, feeding myself as I would a child. For me, that’s mostly giving myself balanced meals of protein + fruit and/or veg + carbohydrate and allowing dessert after lunch and dinner if I want it. I keep snacks in my bag. I take time outs and ask “What’s wrong, love?” when I'm acting out. I put myself to bed when I am tired. 

Snacks that include some protein make me feel best.

I try not to fill up on “fun” foods because that makes me feel yucky. But if I do, it’s not a fail. It’s just something to get curious about.

I notice when I’m using food to comfort myself. I am building up an arsenal of coping tools so that food is not the only one.

When I’m struggling, I try to not ruminate on it too much. It’s simpler than it feels right now. If I’m confused it’s time to do something that will get me out of my head! 

I practice connecting to my body. Deep breathing, yoga nidra, stretching, touching my belly, dancing, etc.

I don’t weigh myself and am allowing my body to settle at the weight that’s comfortable for her.

Emotional eating is normal. It is not immoral. One food choice is not more moral than another. 

If I’m eating for comfort, I LET IT COMFORT ME.

Health is a value I hold, but that doesn’t make me better than someone who doesn’t value health. 

I believe that people can pursue health at every size, focusing on behaviors rather than outcomes.

I work on my own internalized fatphobia and don’t bleed it out onto others.

I don’t talk about diets or comment on what others are eating (other than “that looks good!”).

I practice giving non-appearance related compliments. 

I curate my social media feeds to include a wide range of bodies that do not type white-young-thin-ultra fit.

When I’m having a bad body fever moment I ask myself: what is underneath these negative or controlling thoughts about my body? What would I be thinking about if I weren’t thinking about my weight.

I don’t have to be excited about how my body looks, but I do have to give her the respect she deserves. I don’t talk shit about her.

My body is my ally, my vehicle for experiencing every moment of my life, the only thing in this entire fucking world that is truly MINE.

#Repost @kristamurias with @get_repost ・・・ So much of what we, as a society, consider helpful weight loss or wellness tips is actually disordered eating in disguise. People are so quick to share advice of this sort, saying “It worked for me!” - but what works for one person does not work for everyone, and can even be dangerous for some. . I, too, used to share advice like: sip water to suppress your hunger, carefully measure all portions and don’t eat more than you’re allowed, cut out all food groups that might be considered inflammatory (even in the absence of actual food allergies or diagnosed intolerances), only eat “clean” whole foods, and I’d promote cleanses, detoxes, and fasting. Engaging in one or two of these behaviours doesn’t necessarily mean that someone has an eating disorder, but “normal” dieting does progress to pathological dieting in 35% of cases, and of those, 20-25% will progress to eating disorders. . Everyone is allowed to do with their body what they will. If someone chooses to pursue dieting or weight loss, that’s their prerogative. But I wish more people would keep their diet talk, food judgements, and “helpful” tips to themselves. This kind of talk can lead to disordered eating, or be triggering for those in recovery, and we need to realize that what we may see as helpful can cause real harm. . #disorderedeatingrecovery #haes #intuitiveeating #antidiet #ditchthediet #nourishnotpunish #nondiet #healthateverysize #foodfreedom #bodyacceptance #bodyliberation #bodyneutral #honoryourbody #selfcare #selflove #positivebodyimage #losehatenotweight #thewellnessdiet #thelifethief https://www.instagram.com/p/BsgnvWYjV4e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1feqdso7259op

Regrann from @food_freedom_coach - #Repost @kristamurias I never believed that the way I ate, with rigid rules and restrictions, was disordered, because many of the people I knew were doing the same thing. I believed I was just doing what someone does when they care about their health (and weight). But that’s the insidious nature of diet culture - it’s everywhere, it’s always in our face, so we believe it. It wasn’t until I deliberately walked away from diet culture that I looked back on those behaviors and saw how destructive they were. . From Christy Harrison: “We have a real problem right now in our society with the normalization of disordered eating behaviors. Not only does diet culture push us to try to shrink our bodies in order to meet the beauty ideal and prove our moral worthiness, but it also demonizes certain foods and ways of eating while elevating others, causing mass confusion about nutrition. “Ignoring, suppressing, or trying to outsmart your hunger cues is not a nourishing practice. Cutting out food groups because some self-styled guru told you that they cause inflammation or intolerance is not a nourishing practice. Counting, weighing, measuring, and anything to do with numbers or “points” are not nourishing practices.” . The alternative? LISTENING to your body instead of depriving it, and not buying in to the message that you’re only worthy or healthy in a smaller body. Dieting is disordered. Period. . #disorderedeating #disorderedeatingrecovery #normaleating #intuitiveeating #ditchthediet #dietculture #HAES #regrann

I never really truly realised I had disordered eating until this year, becoming more and more self aware as my progress in therapy kept growing unearthed this, it was something my therapist pointed out and my initial reaction was defensive because I guess it’s one of the things I feel I have control over. I get to decide what I eat and when and I had never noticed how I formed restrictions, I never recognised a binge because for me it was so so normal. I have patterns, I restrict, I binge, I will only eat certain things at certain times, i don’t get true hunger signals, Eating is associated with trauma for me and it’s going to take a lot of work. I think this is going to be really difficult for me, I’m feeling very vulnerable with it and part of me wants to keep deflecting from it, part of me would rather not have to face this because I can feel the anxiety spiking already. If anyone has any words of advice or just comfort I’d truly be grateful 💖🌼 #anxiety #mentalhealthawareness #invisibleillnesses #fibrobabe #disorderedeating #bpd #trauma #ptsd #cptsd #depression #anxietyattack #disorderedeatingrecovery #bingeeatingrecovery #bingeeatingawareness (at Scarborough, North Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnfrts9g0Nh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v0z5ija9qdgw

You probably need to eat more if you spend a lot of time watching “what I eat in a day” videos, scrolling IG looking at food or planning your next cheat meal. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣Drop a ❤️ if you are sick of diet culture. #dietitian #bodylove #metabolismhacks #reversediet #intuitiveeating #healyourmetabolism #metabolismboost #metabolicrate #antidiet #nondiet #disorderedeatingrecovery #orthorexiarecovery #nutritioncoach #nutritionbusinesscoach #nutritionist #registereddietitian #registereddietitiannutritionist #dietculturedropout #nofoodrules #dunnebells (at Tofino, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMbQN-rHb4O/?igshid=1ks0l09wznw0s

Food revelation day! (From the diary of a recovering-disordered-eater who’s hoping not to sound too patronising!) In the photos we have my breakfast versus my afternoon tea. Breakfast was wholegrain seeded sourdough toast topped with blue cheese, a scrambled egg, and sliced tomato, along with some lettuce and wilted spinach. For afternoon tea, a little custard tart with cream and a strawberry chia smoothie. (Comparative calorie count? No idea.) Good news: both were delicious and filling. Bad: even though they filled me up almost as much as each other, having a full stomach does not mean your body has got all the nutrients it needs to perform at optimum levels - you learn the signals when you start paying attention to how you feel when you eat certain foods. Case in point: when I got home after the custard tart and smoothie I immediately raided the fridge for more wholegrain bread and a salmon avocado salad thing and had a celery stick and a pear and so much water, and afterwards felt uncomfortably bloated but at least my brain had shut up; whereas after breakfast I felt perfectly content to wait for the next meal because I had given my body a good enough ratio of fat:protein:carb (+lots of veggies!). We, as physical creatures, run on fat, protein, and carbs, and if food is about keeping our physical bodies running, then we kinda need to give them what they need. But then why is this so dang hard to do? I think it’s because we live in a world of mixed messages, false advertising, social pressure, and food often becoming part of our anxieties. Learning to feed ourselves means learning about what food does to our bodies, how each of us personally feels after certain foods, maybe even learning how to cook. It means ignoring the roar of opinions coming from the internet, our peers, even our families, and finding a quiet space within ourselves to pay attention to what we really need, and then trying to get it amidst the onslaught. There’s a lot of trial and error and frustration when you start trying to get control over food, but it’s definitely possible. With patience, persistence, and a whole lot of grace. #food #disorderedeating #disorderedeatingrecovery https://www.instagram.com/p/CMBds1uJf2F/?igshid=tkk3v27avtyc

A couple years ago you could find me mindlessly shoving food into my mouth during my Netflix & chill time. It didn't matter if I'd just eaten dinner, or was still full, I'd find something to snack on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can't even count the number of times I've stood in front of the open fridge trying to figure out want I should eat...even though, I wasn't really hungry. The crazy thing is, I didn't reazlize I was doing these things! 🔸Eating out of boredom 🔸Eating because I was stressed 🔸Eating because it was TV time ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The 3 words ⬆️ that have helped me eliminate 95% of my mindless/habitual/emotional/boredom eating and maintain my weight with ease! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you find this helpful, check out my 🎧 Podcast, "Just Get Fit With Nikki" on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Play and more ♥️.

I grew up hating myself. Forever feeling useless, like I could have done more to fight the bullies, like I could have done more to prevent myself becoming mentally ill. But in reality I was a child, wrestling most days with my own mind and my environment. Body image is of course highly linked to our mental health, living with bpd (Undiagnosed until my early 20’s) It’s hard to see your true self, sense of self isn’t something I had any familiarity with. So when people berated me for the shape of my body, I believed this body was unacceptable for this world. So I shrunk myself as much as I could, physically and mentally. Fat. Fat. Fat. Fat. Followed by more insults daily, I learned that fat was the worst thing I could possibly be in life. I harmed this body in so many ways to cope with the mental illness I was living with, but when I threw up from drinking too much my instant thought was “yes, I’m going to lose weight” In those moments as much of a mess I was I felt achievement, my brain automatically jumped to those thoughts every time I was sick for a very long time Sometimes it’s hard not to fall back into old patterns, sometimes those thoughts creep back. Why would I celebrate putting my body through that? Why would I ever say “at least I’ve lost weight” after weeks of being ill with the flu? Why would I celebrate being ill? I developed an unhealthy relationship with food and my body from a young age, because we are taught that we should despise our bodies if they are not what the media portrays are the perfect body. The media is teaching your sons and daughters to hate themselves before they have a chance to develop self love. The media is teaching people that it’s okay to berate and judge other people’s bodies and make them feel less than. I think it’s well overdue that we question this and how toxic it is, and how dangerous it is. I’m learning self love and self worth, I’m learning to adopt a better relationship with food. Disordered eating and bpd better watch out, I won’t shrink myself anymore. ✨ Lingerie is dottie by @curvykate from @brastop ✨ #disorderedeating #disorderedeatingrecovery #bpd #bpdblogger #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #bodyconfidence (at Scarborough, North Yorkshire)
