tw ��don’t read if you’ve had an ed you haven’t fully recovered from or you’re at risk, or just easily triggered :) i always felt like my ed wasn’t valid & not important because it didn’t fall under a certain category. i would try to starve myself over self imagine and end up binging more than usual. i would work out in the middle of the night. my flat stomach workout lasted 2 hours. all day i would think about my body. (mind, i was actually underweight and still am, with body dysmorphia) i would buy new clothes and get disgusted because my stomach looked big or i wasn’t picture perfect. i would stand in the mirror and squeeze my stomach and ended up with pains from squeezing my insides. but i am here to promise you it does get better. no matter how much it feels like it won’t. no matter how badly you see yourself or treat yourself now. you are so much more than a body. stretch marks are normal. “extra” or loose skin is normal. rolls are normal. everyone gets bloated. the more we learn to appreciate our bodies the farther we’ll get from modern beauty standards. i love you gorgeous
