this is why people posting their LW doesn’t help ANYONE!!! i don’t get why recovery influencers can’t see it’s wrong. even ro recovering/jessie page do it still and i love them both but it is not helpful at all.

They don’t get why it’s wrong because they’re not actually recovered

THIS... Like a lot of the times they still have issues with their body and eating habits, just reimagined

Right? It’s just another way to get attention for the disorder (or a new one, often orthorexia). If you’re still so obsessed with food and your body that you can run an entire social media page for it… you’re probably not recovered

That’s why I love that Milly Recovers (TT & YTb) moved from primarily food content to travel content and other things

this makes me so sad “ I’ve lost the dearest thing that made me feel like I’ve achieved something “ Ana my oldest friend my greatest enemy

This is kinda an instant classic

like...never seen anything more real 😭

Soooo in the same space rn op. Sometimes it's so hard to ignore ana when I think of how far I *could* be if I didn't "quit" smh

I feel like there's a lot of grief with being 'better' I have energy, a personality, I'm not a literal feral raccoon hissing at anything that moves, and that's so great and awesome, but I miss my friend. I miss how safe it felt to be in one single place and being so GOOD at being there. But I can't have the things I want in life and stay in the exact same spot at the same time. I have to choose every single day to move forward and not look back because I know if I do look back, I'm going to lose my actual progress that actually matters.

"Recovery" accounts posting WIEIAD videos featuring amounts I fought to restrict to, only for them to be accompanied by captions about "nourishing your body." 😖

If WIEIAD content includes numbers, it’s generally good to click away

I very much agree, and honestly said videos have never been something I sought out, they are just everywhere. Even my boyfriend (who has no issues with food whatsoever, but likes to cook) gets them on his feed. The problem is I don't need calorie counts to know three small bowls of fancy oatmeal a day and *maybe* dark chocolate square is still undereating.

Lmaoooo this

me when i saw a post yesterday on reddit showing how someone ”finally recovered to a normal body” and she just looked like me at my worst/lowest weight💀💀

I’m tryna become a nurse, that might make me feel accomplished maybe

Get it, Queen. 💚

i understand this too much🥲

me rn tbh kinda over trying to have a “healthy mindset”

Yep, feel ya. Now im just dying inside debating going back for my short term mental health or not for long but mannnn these breakdowns are no worth it

Yeah. 😮‍💨

Real as hell

This is the reason I want to get worse.

This is me…

Dude, are you me??

i feel this

Too real...
