The pinker I am the more myself I feel 💗

If you told me that I could trade 10 years of my life to recover I would take it. Because what use is this life if it’s as hollow as mine is now. I have lost myself and I feel like nothing exists except anorexia. All I talk about is food: food I want to eat, food other people are eating. I am a woman obsessed, consumed by recipes and cooking videos and intently analysing everyone else’s intake. I spent hours filling up shopping baskets in the supermarket only to leave it at the door. I make hypothetical online orders then cancel it at the checkout. I stare at hundreds of photos and videos of food all day, trying to imagine the taste. All day I am poking at my bones, grabbing my skin, wrapping my hands around my body. My feet are blistered from walking and I’m getting ill from wandering around in the wet and the cold. I am malnourished. I am sick. I’ve not had a period in months and the base of my spine hurts when I sit down. I am very slowly, day by day, bit by bit, dying. The thing I am most scared of in the world, but I’m doing it to myself. I would trade 10 years of my life to be better because what use are those years if I live them like this.

I have been thinking for a while about my relationship with exercise, which over my life span has been very up and down. Currently, since my anorexia relapse, it is a symptom I am struggling a lot with, and compulsive/unhealthy exercise is a habit I am desperate to break. I hear lots of good stories about how yoga, as a gentle and mindful exercise, has helped them with their recovery and it’s something I’ve been considering delving into. So, winning this on twitter from @singingdragonbooks could not have been more perfectly timed!

I don’t like the cold but I do love cosy jumpers 🥰

It’s onesie weather 🥰

Goodbye roots 💗

Look, it’s me in a little magazine 👀

Fluffy jumpers are literally my life right now.

Oh hello cutie 😍

Onesie, wine, Killing Eve. Winning.

I am very much enjoying my winter wardrobe.
