✨ Something I’ve been struggling with lately is “too much” self care. Too much “treating myself”. I use quotations because that’s what I call it to make myself feel better - when in reality, it’s unhealthy.
My anxiety and stress have been getting the better of me. I use food and material things as a comfort. On the bright side, at least I’m aware I’m doing these things. Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right?
Self care isn’t binge eating or charging your feelings away on your credit card. I can make excuses all day of “but that’s how I was raised!” or “it’s not so bad, I can afford it” - but I know it’s a problem. I’m trying to fill this void inside, one that I’m not entirely sure why it’s there. I suppose that’s the mystery of anxiety.
Self care is realizing there is a problem. Self care is taking steps to actually do things that make you feel better instead of worse. Taking baths, reading tarot cards, yoga, pole, exercise. Most of these things I’ve been neglecting due to work and just being constantly exhausted but that’s changing this week. I need to take care of myself. My health and well-being depend on it.
How do you take care of yourself when you feel your anxiety rearing it’s ugly head? Any tips and tricks are appreciated ☺️ I will also be seeking out a therapist to see here in Vegas. I saw one regularly in Chicago but have yet to find one here. Therapy helped me a lot - hopefully this is the sign someone needs to reach out and find help! ✨

I am wayyyyy too insecure to post body checks but for any one curious about my progress, here’s a before and after of my face.
208lbs v.s 138lbs
I am nowhere near where I want to be but before and after helps me to stay motivated
Wow, thank you for 500 followers. I’ve gotten more followers in the past 2 years I’ve been on tumblr than the past 9 years I’ve been on Insta lol.
This moment is bittersweet. I’m glad that I have such a great support system, where I am able to speak freely about my thoughts and struggles.
But I am sad, that there are so many beautiful people that suffer from the same illness and destructive thoughts that I do.
Again, thank you, I love you, and please stay safe. ❤️
I binged today for the first time in 2 months. I feel awful. I hate myself so damn much. My brother and I got into an argument and I havent gotten so upset in such a long time. I dont know why it made me have the urge to emotionally eat so badly. It didn’t help that I havent lost a pound in 2 weeks. I was only eating 900 calories a day too (occasionally eating 1300 cal when I really needed it). But eating 1300 cal today wasn’t enough. I ate 1955 calories today. Im never going to be skinny :(
I’ve been eating 900 calories for the past 2 weeks without binge eating and I am at my breaking point. The connection between my brain and my mouth has disappeared. I have a serious lack of energy. I cant even stand up without getting dizzy and seeing black dots. I’ve chewed 23 fucking packs of gum. No, I’m dead serious, my jaw is so fucking sore. I’ve lost about 4 pounds and its almost not worth it. I ate 1300 calories today and I feel like a failure. I’ve eaten 1300 calories before and its actually helped me not binge for the longest time ever but the slow weight loss had me so impatient. It doesn’t feel as bad as a binge. Actually, I feel better, but still, I know I’m going to be heavier when I weigh my self in the morning. :(
I’m so fucking weak as shit I know
Someone underweight: I have anorexia
Me: I believe you
Someone overweight: I have anorexia
Me : I believe you
My doctor : You have anorexia
Me: Uh, I think the fuck not you trick ass bitch
I’ve been eating 1300 calories for a while now and its allowed me not binge for the longest time ever. However I got a bit sick last week and decided one day that I was too tired to eat dinner. I immediately dropped two pounds, so ever since I’ve been eating 800 calories a day. I kind of regret it because I’m getting so hungry the longer that I’m doing this. But I’m afraid that I’m going to gain all the weight I lost. Pls someone help lol I’m going to see if I can do this at least until I’m under 140 lbs.
I’m a 200+ sw ana, and ever since then I’ve lost over 60+ pounds. I am nowhere near considered ‘’skinny’’ but peoples reaction to me when I haven’t seen them in a long time is astonishing. They’re either always in shock or CONSTANTLY looking at me. Oh, and they’re always asking me for weight loss advice. I tell them “diet and exercise” but its actually “a eating disorder and suffering” lol
see this is why i need followers. anytime i think about eating i think “oh but my followers would be so disappointed” and then i dont eat
so hang around, it helps:)
