Channels For Mental , Physical , And Spiritual Improvement ♡

So I decided to stop using hashtags on here because that’s how people get reported I’m pretty sure. Sooo I decided to do this instead!

If you are a weight loss blog, like this post. Using safe words to avoid getting reported. If u wanna repost u can to make it reach more ppl (since I can’t use tags)

If you are looking for mutuals, scroll through the likes and follow ppl :)

This is also for me so I can see who to follow haha but I thought it’d help yall out too! It’s nice having an understanding community and we should all have access to one.

Just got my collarb0n3s visible again. ✊🏻😭

Literally all I'm wearing for now on, are tops that show them off. I can't wait to get rid of my h1deous th1ghs next.

controversial opinion: regular people should not force people with €ds to eat.

regular person = not a doctor

“that’s just your disordered brain talking” hear me out. what does it help? genuinely, what does forcing someone who has an extreme fear of food to eat help with? I’m primarily talking about 4n0rexia in this context but this applies to every €D.

“it’ll keep them alive a little while longer” no, it won’t. one meal will not reverse the long history of damage done to their body. best case scenario: they will never want to be around you again, they’ll go back to isolating themselves which will be detrimental to their mental health because the idea that ‘people = want me to get fat not better’ has been re-affirmed by you and they will not ask for help in the future. worst case scenario: they do the above AND you have guaranteed the fact that the minute they are back home they will try to get rid of it through exercise, l*xatives, p*rging, or long fasts which they likely would not have felt the need to compensate with if they hadn’t been forced to eat.

I know that for myself, and for other people with multiple types of €ds, that being around people when food isn’t involved or at least not the primary focus, while yes it does aid in our disorder because we aren’t eating, it also gives us the ability to engage in positive activities outside of our disorder. If someone is able to take steps to heal their mental health and create friend groups who don’t judge them but supports them, they’re more likely to recover, or at least form some better habits. Our disorders are exhausting. We need times that our disorder isn’t ruling over too.

“part of getting better is doing things that’s hard, that includes eating.” yes, this is true, but you are not a doctor. If a person is in a state where force feeding is required to keep them alive they need more than one meal forced down them. they need mental health support, support in general, and a doctor to oversee all of it. this strongly applies to ARFID and ORTHO as well but forcing sometime to eat their fear foods/foods they struggle with is NOT helpful.

Forced recovery, even in an institutional setting, with our without mental health support in addition to re-feeding, has been shown to be significantly ineffective compared to willing admittance.

This is not a fucking factory where you can pump a person full of food for a few weeks until they weight x-amount, give them no more help than a doctor who can’t be bothered to see their patients more than once a week in their own hospital and even then the time spent with someone and the questions asked are unhelpful for everyone, then drop them back off at home and expect them not to relapse even harder.

Some people do need outside help. Not everyone can/wants to/has the ability to recover by themselves, some will need a push from outside and in the moment it may feel like a loss of autonomy but it’s what they need. The grey line between thinking just eating and doing breathing exercises will fix them vs. structured support and patience in all aspects of a person’s life isn’t that grey.

All this being said, some people will not recover. No matter what you do, no matter how much you care, no matter how much help you give, not everyone gets better. Ultimately, recovery comes from within and it is only up to the individual if they want to recover. If someone has shown they have no intention of recovery and an understanding of the consequences, it should not be forced upon them. Bodily autonomy applies to more than just reproductive health.

Strategies I use to…

Reconnect with myself˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄

Hiiii, here is a list of some things I do in order to reconnect with myself!

When I feel down, overwhelmed, mindless, or just not like my usual self, these activities are my saviours.

• Physical activity!!! - You know I had to put this one first, girl. Strength training, stretching, swimming, running, walking, dancing, playing sports, etc. Physical activity makes me feel amazing and gives me a total confidence boost, I’m just in my element.

• Meditation - Deep breathing, relaxing music, clear mind, I love it! I feel a deep sense of connection with myself and the universe when meditating. It’s also just a great reset if you’re in a negative mood, I feel totally cleansed afterwards.

• Pampering!!! - face massage, gua sha, long hot bath/shower, full body massage, cute treat/drink, ice roller, positive affirmations, comfy clothes, favourite movie, and so on.

• Get creative - Getting creative is a good way to express and connect with yourself. Doing something artsy always reminds me of when I was a kid, and writing is a great outlet for my creativity.

Drawing, writing, sculpting, painting, colouring, knitting, crocheting, etc.

• Journaling - I love journaling so much. It’s a good way to check-in with yourself, learn about yourself, and release your emotions. I feel a lot more in tune with myself afterwards.

I’ll write about : Things I am grateful for, my dreams and desires, goals I’m working towards, my favourite things about myself, my feelings, etc.

• Expressing myself - Often, the reason for me feeling disconnected with myself is because I’ve hidden or ignored my true feelings/thoughts/self. I mean obviously masking yourself makes you feel disconnected with yourself…

My strategy is to openly express myself confidently. I share my feelings and opinions, and I don’t try to hide who I am. I don’t care what people think of me, I will never be ashamed or embarrassed of my authentic self.

going for 6+ hr walks and chain smoking the whole time is my new personality

Starting this diet Monday. Anyone wanna join in? I'm going to post results for all the diets I try. ^-^

Today's Lesson is:

How to Catch a Predator in the 3D Community

Today I found a predator in my DMs. At first I was going to block and ignore but I thought it'd be a good chance to see how these people work and relay it back to you guys bc everyone here deserves to be protected!!

So Before we begin!!!! If you're worried that the person in your DM is a predator, they probably are!!!

We don't live in a world where random people will want to help enable you 3D for no reason! Ana buddies are a symbiotic relationship. You have something to gain and something to give, it's an equal exchange. Ana coaches are not! Nobody is going to help you for no reason.

Check this person's profile!

Do they have:

No profile picture?

Don't follow anyone?

A random slap-dash username?

No credibility or proof that they are some sort of coach?

That's because, they're a predator, trying to take advantage of your insecure youth! Never give them anything that they can use against you!

This includes:

Pictures

Real names

Real nationalities

Always lace everything you say to them with lies so they don't know the truth!

Or yk, just block them

Heres a step-by-step guide on how a predator will approach you

Number 1: Vague Psuedo-Professionalism

They'll ask questions to make themselves seem as if this is something they do often.

Questions like:

"Why do you feel like you need to be coached?" "Have you ever been coached before?"

This will lead you into a false sense of security. Don't fall for it!

Number 2: Body-Shaming

No matter what your stats are, they'll make you seem like the fattest thing to walk the earth

I told the predator I was observing very average stats, within the healthy BMI for that age and height, and he responded with "You're a very very big girl, aren't you?"

Also, ew creepy

Don't let any man talk to you like this in general. On or offline

Number 3: Pictures

Now, don't let it get this far. If you've noticed all the previous red flags block and report.

But here they'll ask for pictures. Getting aggressive when you don't comply

They'll say it's to check your stats or something, don't fall for it

They'll use these images to blackmail you later, this is called "revenge p0rn", stay safe out there

Number 4: Blackmail

This is going off what I said earlier but, if you don't comply, or even if you do, they'll use ana to blackmail you.

"You need me" "You need my help" "You want it, don't you?"

They want to make it seem as if you need them. But you're strong you don't need a perv to tell you what you need

You're strong enough to know that handouts like these are suspicious and should be dealt with accordingly

These people are predators wanting to prey on children with e4ting disorders and we can't stand for it

If anyone is in a situation they feel like they cannot get out of, comment or DM. I'll respond as fast as I can

And please repost this, so it can reach someone who needs it before it's too late

I'm everyone's older sister, I've decided

anyways, that was

How to Catch a Predator in the 3D Community

Stay safe out their my lovelies <33

By the time these arrive, hopefully they'll fit. 😄💖

I will never shut up about how my mom said i didn't have an €D when I was f4t, even after she saw me eating baby food, going on extreme d13ts, and f4sting all the time. But once my w3ight started dropping off and I got sk1nnier than her, suddenly it's an issue. 😕

Not to mention she was bul1m1c when she was my age. Growing up with your mom competing with you is crazy.
