i never thought i’d post something like this but

hi my name is skyler, i’ve been down a rough patch the last year or two bc i used to be 160 about and lost weight unhealthy. kept going to doctors after doctors for the past 2 years trying to figure out what was wrong and they never have but my one mayo doctor said i have a type of ED which the type i have idk what it’s called but i want to eat but my body is telling me no and it’s scared to get sick again. i truly watch what i eat and how much so i won’t get sick because i’m so scared of losing more weight. i weighed about 109 when i got super sick and the last couple months have been up and down the lowest i’ve gotten in the past 3/2 months was 115 bc i went cold turkey on w33d, i shoulda slowly stopped bc it made me more sick with the withdrawals but it even made me sicker by smoking it so i’ve been sober about 3 weeks now but i’ve gained back up to 121. On some days i’ll be 123 but i truly do want to gain more weight. #eatingdisorder #bodytransformation #sick

... Read moreEating disorders affect millions of people, making recovery a journey often filled with ups and downs. It is essential to understand the different types of eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge-eating disorder. Each has its own symptoms and underlying psychological factors. For individuals like Skyler, acknowledging the disorder is the first step towards recovery. This journey often involves working with healthcare professionals who specialize in eating disorders, as well as seeking support from family and friends. It's important to foster a positive relationship with food, encouraging regular meals without guilt or fear. Mindfulness and nutritional education can significantly aid in understanding one’s body and its needs. Additionally, support groups and therapy can provide a safe space to share experiences and coping strategies, helping individuals to heal. Many people find that gradual changes to their eating habits, combined with emotional support, lead to healthier lifestyles and self-acceptance. Remember, every recovery journey is unique, and it’s okay to seek help and take one step at a time.

I never really had good friendships…
Over my 26 years of life I have come to the realization that, I never really had good friendships. The reason for that is probably because God was never in the center of these relationships. When I was very young, around 3 years old, I made my very first friend… and that was an absolute mess.
