Many people who want to change their weight under-eat for a while. This is commonly known as “dieting”. Under-eating for a short while in someone who is broadly a healthy weight will do little damage, but for some people under-eating becomes a way of life.

Restraint of eating to keep your weight under control
Severe eating restraint to keep weight under...

Called “Barefaced and Beautiful,” it’s encouraging women to post photos of themselves on various social media without any makeup. The point is to … well, they sort of lost me on that. I think the idea is to...

WatchBoys dying to be thin: the new face of anorexia
The mass media’s battle with weight →
This week I gained a valuable insight into what magazines teach young women. During a free-reading lesson I had the pleasure of teaching this week (teaching being a loose term in this instance) I confiscated two glossy magazines from a year 8 student. She was outraged! As far as she was concerned, she was reading. I pointed out to her that they were supposed to be reading fiction, a little...

Anonymous asked: this blog is amazing. For a parent to seem to understand as much as they possibly can what it is like to suffer from an ed is amazing. Most parents do not go to this length. Mine were ignorant to facts of eds which made recovery hard, and what currently makes it hard for me. My mom researched it a little, but still has no understanding even tho shes a doctor. I appreciate your blog and know that...

Anonymous asked: I'm just wondering how your daughter who has the eating disorder is going? I hope everything is going okay for you and your family. And thank you so much for having this blog.
Anonymous asked: Hi! I want to tell you how amazing your blog truly is. I'm sixteen and have struggled with an ED for the past three years. I've been on the roller coaster of bad days, good days, and days where I'm just going through the motions with my ED. I was hospitalized over a year and a half ago, and did very well for quite a while. The past month or so, though, I've started relapsing....

I'm not happy and I want go back to my restrictive habits because at least I felt good and safe. I want to go back to it, but I know that's the wrong path. But at the same time, I don't want...

Choose - do you eat or go to hospital
Choose - do you eat or destroy your health, body and life
Choose - do you eat to have energy to live or are so tired from not eating you can’t do anything.
YOU CAN CHOOSE.
THE PERCEPTIONS IN YOUR MIND ARE NOT REAL. EVERYTHING IS DISTORTED AND UNTRUE BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THE EATING DISORDER WANTS.
retouch-seduction asked: I have so much respect for you and I'm praying that your daughter fully recovers from her eating disorder. The pro-ana blogs make me sick, they treat it like a game and not the awful life-ruining disease that it is. Why can't my mum be more like you haha?
