when i was recovering i had to train myself to stop looking at calories, ingredients, and the scale. (i actually threw my scale away) if i ever catch myself looking for calories i have to stop myself so i don’t spiral. it gets better and easier i promise!

Been there. It gets better. Try to ignore the scale it’s not worth your mental health. genuinely what helped me was ignoring it all together and letting yourself come to terms with eating normally

and also the best advice I can give is to get rid of the full length mirror (at least for now). it helped me a lot in my recovery and after a few years, i’m finally back in a place where I can have a full length mirror again without it causing a ton of body dysmorphia

I also went through a time when I and my parents covered up all the nutritional labels on the food in the kitchen. it helped. given, i knew everything that was on those labels, but it made me feel less like they were ‘staring’ at me
