@sproutishealing cramps!

@sproutishealing im not too sure because at the end of the day it is a natural thing our bodies do, for it to remain stopped is unnatural and basically is your reproductive system shutting down which can come with health consequences :( maybe look into the contraceptive pill? that helped me with

is it possible to never get your period back? i dunno if i ever will honestly and i dunno if that’s something to worry about or if you can live normally without a period … i am not trying to be ignorant and open to being educated!

@cosmoss_coco @bloodyb0nes2 hi some ACTUAL factual evidence coming from a medical student no one is healthy at bmi 13 and that just proves u have not got the recovered mindset u claim to have. u are at great risk of all kinds of health complications, thanks.

@bloodyb0nes2 @cosmoss_coco because this is not a recovered body, i bet ur stunning

@cosmoss_coco Sigh if only my recovered body looked like this

@cosmoss_coco to label this as being recovered is quite harmful, from ur other posts ur still actively trying to not gain weight which is the complete opposite. all progress is valid, and i hope one day ur able to realise gaining weight when ur so dangerously low is okay

@imaistrying I was in the same boat but my doctor said if I’m getting my period + experiencing no symptoms and at a healthy weight that’s where my set point is!

i really dont know whats my set point weight cause the only moment where i could mantain my weight effortlessly and didnt have mental hunger was when i was obese ...

nothing annoys me more than the people who shit on recovery by saying “but I gained 10kg+” but forget to mention they were at a deadly weight with a risk of literal organ failure. can we stop scaring others from recovery

recovery was the best thing that could of happened to me , being able to go out and not depend on food , be able to properly study and do my work is so rewarding

@stellacoraa i 100% get how u feel , when i first started my meal plan i HATED it because i lost all control over my food choices but going all in will eventually give u the freedom to not follow it so rigorously ! now im nearing the end of it + am able to make my own stuff

@imaistrying now i dont even crave sweet stuff or get extreme hunger , its hard but you just need to honor it , I promise u aren’t developing an addiction

@imaistrying early on in my recovery i felt like this and literally all i could think about was sweets , trust me it’s just extreme hunger from where u have restricted that food group and now ur body is trying to get used to not fearing to lose it again !

i think im developing a sweet addiction or smth bc they force me to eat dessert cause now i cant finish dinner without thinking abt something sweet ughhh im disgusting now

@imaistrying yes mine does!!! i found it strange at first but its lowkey nice ill have something cold at lunch like a yogurt or icecream then something warm like apple pie + custard at dinner

anyone who also has a meal plan in recovery, do urs also include dessert for lunch and dinner? i feel so gross eating dessert in both

@tvng3rinne I think it can have either or both???

okay wait do korean corn dogs actually have meat in them or just cheese i'm so confused

@an0rdlys u look beautiful zora !!

kms cause I legit spent an hour changing outfits... I hate recovery belly but ended up finding something okayish

since this post for some reason is gaining attraction I want to clarify I am a RECOVERING account and although i am more than happy having friends who are on edtwt still but considering recovery chances are I won’t follow back to keep mine + my mutuals timeline free from it

i don’t get why there’s such a protein obsession within recoverytwt it’s okay to eat a normal non protein chocolate bar 💔

@silly_cherub thank you ml I’m definitely gonna start working on it !

@eisradiary I totally get that feeling but the thing is we have to learn to not be defined by the disorder and our past struggles but instead by other parts of our life. It doesn’t mean your struggle and journey don’t matter but try to focus on other parts of yourself

i think one of the main things im struggling with is not having people concerned over me anymore , before recovery people would point it out and my mum was so patient and caring . now I’m restored i feel like everyone’s forgot where I was before .

@kateglorbss it’s such an easy thing to fall into but it’s also so harmful for new people in recovery who aren’t sure on what they should ideally be eating , ill forever advocate that it’s okay to eat ‘unhealthy’ foods and that they are important

@eisradiary ana is very much a form of perfectionism unfortunately, a lot of these people think theyre recovering when rly theyre just switching to ortho

like i was in my medic training and we were speaking of mental disorders and anorexia came up and all i thought was “ wow these people won’t even know that i struggled with this so recently “ and it made me feel so bad

@HSpice06 protein is 100% efficient in recovery and that’s why in meal plans lunch and dinner will have to include at least 1 or even 2 protein options i agree with you totally

@HSpice06 and that’s perfectly okay i wasn’t trying to demonize protein snacks !!! this tweet was more so for the people who still actively restrict themselves from non protein snacks to say it’s okay and advised that we should be having at least one “ fun “ food everyday in recovery !
