not the easy way

for the archive does anyone else find compliments make them want to hide

update on the earlier thing i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it

hold on if you can

my relationship with eating was the thing i managed and now i dont know what im managing

the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards

im ashamed of needing a medication for this and i cant seem to shake it

grieving food is real. it was my hobby, my comfort and about half of my social life, still working it out

did the flatness lift on its own or did people have to do something about it

motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here

hold on if you can. week three is not the whole experience and a lot of us nearly stopped right there

i spent twenty years negotiating with myself about food and then the negotiation just stopped, and that took months to sit with

nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it

the food noise going quiet is the thing people are least prepared for. i sat in the kitchen at 8pm not knowing what i was for

i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it

is it normal to feel more emotional generally on this
