Well done , that's really good . Can I ask though if you could not post pictures. My daughter is recovering from anorexia & I know photos like that can be triggering. We all want recovery in a safe space xxx

I agree

Someone who is now recovered from an eating disorder can also say pictures like this can be really triggering

It's great your sharing your progress with others , however it's clear from the picture that your still very slim which young girls can use as competitive behaviours . I'm suprised others that have commented didn't advise the same

Keep up the good work

Thank you. I mean no disrespect when I say this but yes of course Im still slim. Recovering from it doesnt mean more stomach fat. Thats not the goal. The goal is to get healthy again and be a healthy weight and I am. Im 96 pounds now when I used to be 64. I dont post pics of me to show how slim I am. I have encouraged a lot of people and I know thay from them personally reaching out to me. I will keep updating because I encourage a lot of people. Im sorry but if you dont like my posts then please just block me or just dont look at my posts.

I meant no disrespect. A lot of people on here have helped me get through this tough time and I am just letting them know that their support has gotten me this far to where I am now. But I do this to show that its possible to recover and become healthy still.
