DIY Bunny Ears
Hello lovelies! It's freezing over here so i'm drinking loads of hot tea next to the fireplace.
I was feeling really bored so i thought: lets do something "useful". And as i found some pretty fabrics lying around the house i decided to make a head band. And it turned out like this:
Cute right?
Instructions:
❤ Cut a fabric in two equal 30 by 3 1/2 inch straps.
❤ Place them one over the other with the "nice" side facing each other.
❤ Next, cut both edges in a bunny ear shape.
❤ Sew the borders leaving a small piece without stitches so you can fold the fabric the nice side out by this hole.
❤ Grab a pretty flexible wite and give it the shape of the head band. Join each end with tape.
❤ Then, place the wite inside the fabric by the hole we left unsewn.
❤ Lastly sew the hole very neatly.
And voila! You have a cute handmade head band!
DIYs are a good way to spend time while on bed rest in recovery or for example, when you are feeling anxious, or tempted to binge.
Hope you all enjoyed it :)

TW!!!! Depressed
I'm so sad. It hit me so quick and deep. I don't understand... I was feeling so happy like never before in my life.
I'm longing those sick days and my old body. Why is it i was choosing health and one day i just wake up so messed up?
I want this again. I shouldn't. When i was like that i couldn't even walk 1 block without losing my breath. So why is it i miss it?

Intense Sadness
Today was one awful day. I cant stop crying. I miss my dad, i feel sad, empty and i used old *sick* coping mechanisms all day long. And this is giving me a twisted sense of satisfaction that i havent felt in a LONG time. I only hope this doesnt mean i'll let myself sink into EDs spiral once again.
I hate suffering from anorexia i really really do. All i want is to be happy.

Sunday's Fear Lunch Success
Yesterday my mom suggested to have some ravioli for lunch and i felt comfortable enough to say yes.
Back when i was sick, like the majority of anorexics do, i was absolutely terrified of pasta. I couldn't even be near someone having pasta without my anxiety levels skyrocketing, like the mere act of being next to it was gonna make me gain weight. And it's not the first time i eat pasta since starting recovery, but i can say it was the first time i felt comfortable enough with it.
I feel i reached another level in recovery, where i can eat fear foods without feeling guilty, knowing my body needs a balanced diet and that having those foods are not gonna make me gain further weight than my body needs to.
Now i'm aware that it's very hard to maintain an unhealthy weight for my body without damaging it and i'm done with that. I want to take care of my body because i want HEALTH. I love being able to do things i couldn't even think of when being sick. And don't get me wrong it's not something easy to achieve, i don't wanna make it seem like milk and roses. But i can assure all the pain and discomfort i went through this last 7 months of recovery were damn worth it. You just have to push through the pain blindfolded, being confident that the other end of the path is a beautiful one. Great things await for you. Never ever underestimate the power of recovering fron your eating disorder. You can do it i swear! :)
Love u all very very much

Homemade Jam
Yesterday i was feeling inspired and made some jam for my momma.
I used 1 pound of tangerines, tomatoes and lemon with some ginger with another pound of sugar and let it boil for about an hour or a little bit more.
It turned out pretty good i must say! Though i'm still a little bit scared of having so much sugar, so this must be my next goal in recovery :) getting over my fear pf regular jam lol

What an awful disease.
I'm so grateful for all the support i receive from my treatment team and friends and family as well. It makes me so sad to know there are lots of people out there who are not getting the treatment they require.
If you are struggling with an ed please pleaaasee ask for help, there's a LIFE waiting for you full of joy and self love. I swear it's possible.
Hugs and light for all of you and remember,

There is a light that never goes out
Lol i can never focus my camera and my face is always cut in half haha
Today's a beautiful day. The sun is shining and it's really hot (bear in mind over here it's winter so its not normal to have 25 degrees! thanks global warming for that). I can't wait for spring to come! Haaaate the cold weather arghh that's why today i'm in a special mood.
My mood is directly proportional to the weather. It's as simple as that

Picture Memories #4 (TW)
Why is it that i see this picture and i feel sadness and nostalgy at the same time? I envy my former self. Sick sick mind of mine :'(
Tea time
A lovely afternoon with a lovely friend :)
I haven't seen her for 6 months, since before starting recovery so when she saw me yesterday looking healthier she was so happy for me. And it was nice being able to share some toasts and coffee with her without having anxiety!
So i guess there's life after anorexia :)
Though still not completely cured, but surely everything feels easier as time goes by.
Love

Picture memories #2 TW
Pre ED body.
At this time i hated my body so much i wanted to lose weight desperately. I was at the heaviest weight i've ever been and my gym instructor told me i should lose 4 pounds.
This picture was taken the same month i started restricting for the first time in my life. I lost 50 pounds after this. Took it too far.
I have gained 30 pounds since starting recovery and am absolutely terrified of gaining the last ones. But if i have to be honest with myself at present, looking at this picture i can't see the hideous body i saw at that time. I just see a sad girl who was afraid of living.
