Dont have ROTTING and MOLDY food in your room from hiding it/ food hoarding 13.fun drinks at coffee shops(especially in summer) 14.dont have the personality of a door 15.better teeth-eroding teeth and gums aswell as teeth turning clear is horrible and painful 16.can find clothes-harder to find clothes when underweight 17.look good in dresses+skirts -dresses and skirts when underweight make you look like a door 18.get a tan instead of being very pale 19.

Triggered by someone elses recovery

Someone's recovery triggered me. Im in​ recovery and i saw a content creator who showed their weight restored body. This usually isnt a trigger for me, but me and that creator have the EXACT same body type/bone structure and i don't want to end up looking like them after their full weightrestoration. I looked like that before all the weight loss aswell and i am terrified of ending up like that even though they aren't overweight. Like i looked exactly like they currently do at some point in time. I feel so bad for saying this but i really don't want to look like that even though its literally a healthy body. ​

My hips still aren't even, why is this?

My surgery was over 6 months ago so my muscles and stuff should have adjusted to their new position and also its not due to my spine because i quite literally have no curve in it at all now, but my hips still arent fully even and i don't understand why​​​

Cultural norms

My mum is slavic, im polish. In Slavic countries this type of behavior and remarks towards others appearance or what they are doing are very normal and people are very critica/judgemental/harsh in slavic countries and if you don't like it thats your problem and fault for being sensitive, in eastern Europe peopleahave a harsh mindset and thats very normal(myself included)

Im so underdeveloped

I developed an ed when i was 12,im currently 16 and i look pre pubescent to a significant degree.ive tried recovery before but even then i gained weight but was still very flat so just looked like a blob. It feels​ horrible compared to the other girls my age. it very much feels like ive made my bed so now i have to lay in it so now i just have to stay this way because even if i gain weight/recover i feel like ive already messed up puberty and everything and i won't catch up with development so theres no point​​

BMI guesses? If you had to guess my BMI based on my appearance what would you assume?

If you had to assume my bmi simply by looking at me what would you think it is?

I hide the fact i eat because its shameful

I have a restrictive ed and am a pretty low weight, is it wierd that i eat in private? Like in school i will secretly eat alone, lock myself in a classroom so my friends don't know im eating before going to them because i feel they will judge me and at home too, eat and make sure no one knows. Like logically iknowi starving makes people worry and they WANT me to eat, but the idea of eating feels so shameful and embarrassing and i feel people judge me and that i dont live up to the expectations of having an ed

Food hoarding

I feel so greedy, i hoard ALOT of food that i dont even eat. Unopened boxes of cereal,bags of sweets and food in general. I feel my reasoning for it is so selfish because the main reason i do it is because it hurts to see people (eg family) eat stuff that i adore but know i cant have so i steal food so no one else can have it and its with me just for it to lay in my room unopened. I do it KNOWING its pointless because it wont be eaten but i cant help myself, im so protective over it and dont want anyone else to eat it despite​​ me not eating it
