Three year anniversary

I've been meaning to write a 3 year anniversary post but was feeling uninspired.  I just was struck by the amazingness of IE right now and decided it would sum up 3 years better than anything else I could write. I ate ice cream, thought "oh I should have made a smaller dish -- I'm not gonna be able to eat all this", and then I finished when I was full.WHAT?!?!!?So, after 3 years, I just wanted to write that this all works. This is worth it. You are worth it. There will be ups and downs. You…See More

How to change my view on exercise

I really need to and want to change my view on exercise but I'm not sure how to prior to recovery from an eating disorder exercise was used as a punishment to burn off as many calories as possible. What can help me change my mental view on exercise from punishment to gentle exercise? I want to exercise to keep my body healthy but I never know what is a healthy amount to do and how often and if I skip a day I feel guilty. Currently the only exercise I do at the moment is walking for…See More

observations post shutdown

It was interesting to observe, or in some cases remember, how body image changes depending on who you are around now that I have had such and extended break from the world.To me the most insidious form of fat phobia has been from friends who avoid the word at all costs, so taboo.  You know the kind, that think saying "You're not fat, you are beautiful" is a positive thing to say ( because they can't imagine you could possibly be both?).  I don't use euphemisms, to me self love and acceptance…See More
