Messages like yours confirm to me that this blog is needed and welcome on tumblr. Keep strong and positive beautiful girl <3

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate what you're doing. I'm in recovery now and doing really well. I felt awful the other day about treating myself to a few chocolate pieces but I came onto you're wonderful tumblr and it completely helped push those horrible feelings aside. You're providing me and many other girls a little place to help forget about their EDs. Thank you <3
Oh wow thank you for this message. It makes me really happy to know that this blog has helped you. The world is full of good things and you deserve good things, always believe that! and a little chocolate is one of those good things. I am so glad to hear your recovery is going so well, this makes me so happy to hear that people with eds are not just fighting but winning. <3

Hey there! I just want to say how much I DO appreciate what you are doing here. You seem to understand very much how serious eating disorders are, and that is precisely why you are hoping to stop thinspo, NOT because you think the people who post it are bad people. You seem to care very much for the health, happiness, and well-being of your daughter, which is more than I can say for my mom. She's very lucky to have you.
I suffered from anorexia for 3 years before entering recovery, and I've been recovering for about 7 months now. I'm not perfectly well yet, but I'm trying my hardest, and it helps so much to have people like you who want to help those with eating disorders. Seeing any type of thinspo makes me feel awful in this fragile stage I'm at, so I appreciate that you post inspirational things and are very genuine.
Thank you. :)

Thank you for this message, it has made me all teary. Sweetheart, You inspire me. When I get messages like this it gives me hope because girls like you are choosing recovery, and recovery is possible. Messages from girls like yourself have helped me see just how very hard this illness is and helped me understand what is going on in my daughters head just a little better. I can’t ever walk in your shoes or my daughters shoes but I see there is a real tug of war going on when trying to recover. In the beginning I think we all thought (that is our family) that recovery would be just a matter of getting a good counsellor and that Bec would just get better but it is so much more challenging than that. Eds are devious and crafty they can morph accordingly to meet challenges and hide away for a bit before rearing their heads. I think I am finally learning now that this is a game of persistence and patience and love. Getting upset will not help. Full recovery might take a while but I wish for you and Bec to just be kind to yourself in this process and don’t give up and know that I and so many others are cheering you on. <3xo

You're an inspiration. I don't suffer from an eating disorder but I hated my body for so long. You made me realise that everyone is beautiful and you don't need to do damage to yourself in order to 'be happy'. Thank you. :)
Thank you for your support, this is such a valuable message and I am so glad you share it and have made peace with your body. It just makes me so happy to hear that this message is getting through and is actually helping <3

Hey, one of your old anons here, the one with the slideshow? I can't find any old posts to link to, sorry.
Anyway just wanted to say: sorry about all the mean anons. As an ex thinspo-using person struggling in-and-out of recovery, let me just say, you are doing a great job and have helped me immensely. <3

Thank you slideshow anon for your continued support. Recovery is an in and out, up and down struggle that’s for sure, I am learning that too. I am wishing you well though darling, all the way to full recovery and hopefully my girl will beat this monster too!!!! <3

I applaud what you're doing. I have suffered from an ED since I was 13 (13 years as of yesterday and tentatively recovered), and I definitely went on blogs and forums looking for any kind of tips or tricks. I know that it is unreasonable to say that thinspo is the main cause, but it really doesn't help, especially if other sick girls are laying out a road map to their disease.
Thank you very much for your support and I am so sorry to hear about your long battle. This is what is scariest about this illness if you don’t catch it early it could be with you for years and years and maybe a lifetime, that is if it does’nt kill you.
Thank you for your message and I wish you lots of love and strength that you will truly conquer this <3

@Anon.
Not all ED sufferers fell victim as a result of upbringing. My own battle with Bulimia had absolutely no roots to my familial life or my childhood, rather an incident in my late teens which triggered the awful disease.
The runner of this blog is an amazing, incredible woman, and an incredible mother for what she is doing. You, Anon, are misinformed and naive. ED's are not a lifestyle to be desired.
It's like saying to a cancer sufferer that you want cancer. Idiotic.

Thank you for your reply to this and your support. I really appreciate it.
I agree family upbringing is often not the cause at all. This has been proven by many studies now. The causes of eds are so varied and individual. For one person it may be one single trigger or event for others it may be a collection of many many things. For us personally I can name multiple factors including family dynamic and history that have all helped trigger my daughters ed.
The trick is what ever those factors are single or multiple that we have to start addressing them<3

Thank you so much for following and for your message. I am sorry to hear of your long battle with anorexia and bulimia and wish you nothing but strength to win this battle for good. It is so inspiring to me to see young women such as yourself rising up and taking a stance and joining what I think is a wonderful revolution against self hatred and media imposed body image ideals. Stay strong, stay positive and never give up<3
