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
