i’m turning 25 and you know what? i’m proud of myself. I have a BSc, an MSc, i’m a PhD student, i have a job in the science field that will lead to my career, i have a small business doing insect taxidermy, and i have the loml and a family.
when i was in high school i would regularly be eating <500cals (often 300), gym 5x a week, and i passed with above 90 average. sometimes now i eat 800 cals and can barely make it up the stairs
People who shit on edtwt don’t understand that most of us are actually decent and nice people. There’s a few horrible people but that’s the same in any online community so idk what the problem is.
some parents are way too comfortable on the internet like i don’t want to know about your child getting an enema before school???? give your kid some dignity and don’t spew that to the internet tf? 😭
has anyone gotten serious side effects even when eating over 1000 cals? the disordered part of my brain always tells me that’s too high to actually have serious problems but i know this disease is capable of anything at any point 😭
i need more moots 👹 please interact so we can be friends

any other autistics have a hard time knowing when they need to go to the bathroom? that sounds so embarrassing but i honestly struggle so much with it 😭like i never know i need to pee until i’m about to explode
i know we all bond over something dark and depressing but i honestly love learning about my moots outside of their ed. those parts of us are so important and it’s so easy to lose it when we’re all consumed by food 24/7.
ngl i actually hate that when you ⭐️ ve for a while and then try to eat a semi normal amount it’s so painful because your stomach shrinks 😭 it’s not fun
i’ve never met someone and GENUINELY thought “this person could be the love of my life” right away…. is that actually a thing?
(it took me year of dating my bf to think that)

Your body burns more calories while pregnant but it’s also recommended that you purposely gain weight to support the healthy development of the baby. Staying really skinny during pregnancy is dangerous for the baby and mother :(
so many of you are actually so interesting and cool and i’m so proud of you for the accomplishments you make outside of this ed 💞 i want to follow so many of you on ig and just cheer you on from the sidelines like this
never forget the time in hs when my dad was driving me to school and my phone connected to the car bluetooth and started blasting the porn i was watching the night before 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
i find it kinda funny that i developed an ed because my family eats so intuitively and non-disordered, i was raised in a body neutral/positive home, and was never really bullied for being fat. AND HERE I AM… A DECADE IN.
