Hi lovelies, (I cannot believe I used to call you all that) I’ve been gone for a while now. Normally I’d apologise for something like that, but here I have no reason to.

I really have no idea if I still have active followers on this account, but for those of you reading this, hi. I’m Ghost, and for the past 9 months, I’ve been in recovery. And I have never been happier.

Whether we’d like to admit it or not, edtumblr is not pro-recovery. All of the meanspo and sweetspo, encouraging each other to slowly kill our bodies, it’s not a healthy environment. And I know that sounds obvious, but the time I was active in this community has been some of the worst in my life. Whether you want to admit it or not, all of the ‘this post is just for myself!!’ shit is harmful to other people, and your actions are resulting in the slow death of so many people. Myself included, I’m not here to act like a saint. 

Ever since beginning recovery, I have been so, SO much happier. I’m beginning to truly love the body I’m in, and I never thought that was possible. My mental health is doing so much better, and all aspects of my life are greatly benefited because of it. And that’s why I’m not coming back. I absolutely refuse to let this website take away all the progress I’ve made, and all the progress I’m going to make. I fully encourage everyone here to leave this website behind, even just for a few weeks. You’ll feel so so much better, trust me. Each of you is so beautiful and perfect, and even if you don’t believe me I hope that one day, you will. 

So tldr, I’m in recovery, and I plan to stay that way. And I encourage each person reading this to do the same. Because you will never be happy here, and that’s a truth that one day you will all have to face. Wishing you all the best guys

ED: Starve bitch, starve!

🌹Don’t lower your goal weight. Ever. Don’t forget that it’s enough.

🥀 When your stomach passes the flat point and starts caving in you’ve gone to far and you need to stop that shit.

🌷If you’re passing out at work you need to eat more.

🌺 If it’s too hard to lift normal things such as milk jug, PlayStation, table chairs, you need more calories.

🌸 Don’t work out every day of the week.

🏵️ When you find yourself saying “fuck this” and eating everything in your house, you’re restricting too hard.

🌻 Always drink lots of water throughout the day whether or not you’re fasting.

🌼 Keep in mind that you may gain and loose the same 3 lbs of water or food weight throughout the week and it’s not fat.

💮 If you really feel the need to eat, eat. And don’t feel bad about it.

Eating more calories than you wanted is better than binge eating

Eating above your planned calories is better than eating out of boredom

Maintaining weight is better than gaining.

Losing .1 is better than losing nothing

Losing half a pound is better than nothing

Not losing weight one day does not = failure

Doing only stretches and nothing else is better than not doing anything.

Walking the dog once is better than only doing stretches

Doing a short workout is better than no workout at all

Not having a heavy workout day does not = doing nothing

Having one happy thought is better than none

Being anxiety free for one 5 minute period is better than none

Having a panic attack or episode does not = ruined day

Doing one piece of schoolwork is better than doing none

Reading 5 pages of a book is better than reading none

Doing part of your school work is better than doing none or a little

Doing something is better than nothing

Not doing everything in a day does not = day wasted

Not everyday is perfect In fact most days aren’t

At the spot you are at now maybe no day is perfect But little changes and little steps deserve praise Any improvement is worth noting
