Eating Disorder Recovery Face Pics- So embarrassing

Nataliecatalie93

So I've been in recovery for an ed for a little over a year now. Within that time my weight has gone up and down. Over the past few months my weight has gone down, not all the way, but I know it's too low. So I put these four pictures together to inspire me to never go back to that and thought that I would share, especially for those who are struggling as well. An eating disorder does not make you pretty or happy. The first picture was a bit before the worst of my eating disorder and the last picture is a few month ago, about 8 months into recovery. The between pictures I was at a very low weight and I look horrible. I have no glow. I'm so glad that has returned. Good luck to anyone else working on weight gain!

FIrst off, I just want to say congratulations for trying to overcome this disorder. I know exactly how hard it is, and I have struggled with an eating disorder for the past few years of my life. I am recovering (slowly but surely), and am finally putting back on some really healthy and much-needed weight! Thank you for sharing the inspiration and encouragement! You can overcome this! (:

Edit: First link works!

Kudos to you! The last picture looks much more alive and relaxed. I'm coming at weight from the opposite direction- trying to lose- but I bet having to eat when you don't want to is difficult. Congratulations on your progress, you can do it!

Nothing to be embarrassed about to me, it took courage for you to share these pictures and your back story about your ED. So happy to hear your doing better though.
