kin and ana

not having to bring a sweater everywhere.

but also getting to buy sweaters //&all clothes// in real adult sizes.

sitting in all kinds of chairs, even the hard ones.

not waking up in the middle of the night hungry.

creamer in my coffee.

going to a restaurant &not already have planned out my meal.

ordering straight from the menu, no on the sides for me.

saying yes to plans that might involve food.

or saying yes to plans that are during my "normal" meal times.

It's not worth it.

Recovery is possible.

Some people, no, MOST people can literally. Wake up and fry up some eggs and toast, or maybe get a bowl of cereal and just. Eat it. No counting, no measuring. Just looking for something that's filling and tastes good.

Then they'll get lunch. Maybe order some takeout. They're not looking at how many calories things are, the only number they're looking at on the menu is the price of their meal.

Then they make dinner, maybe some pasta and some salad. They have no trouble adding cheese to their pasta, or dressing to their salad. Maybe some meatballs on the side too. They just eat a variety of foods for health and stop when they're full.

And then if they're feeling like it, maybe they'll even get dessert! A bowl of ice cream, or maybe leftover cake from a party. And they just. Eat it. Because it makes them happy.
