People seriously need to stop stigmatizing things that they clearly don’t understand. This makes me so furious to be honest. I have experienced the exact same thing as you, but I think your friend just doesn’t understand you. When I told one of my closest friend about my ed she told me I was recovered because I wasn’t skinny (I know right what the f) but I didn’t blame her because this was all media brainwashing and giving people stupid/inaccurate facts about these illnesses (not to mention also diets, etc.). I think you should take time, be patient (if this friend is actually worth the while that was really mean of her though to post it on Tumblr) and explain this disorder to her. If she doesn’t listen and isn’t empathetic for you, she’s clearly not your friend? But that’s your decision xx

  1. I just read your blog and think it’s amazing there are people like you. I recently started recovering from atypical anorexia. It has been a month and… First of all, I am so proud of you for being a month and a half in recovery; that is amazing! Keep up the amazing work.

Seeking clarity? Ask the right questions

When you’re seeking clarity, guidance or healing, the questions you ask matter. So often when we’re moving through changes or transitions or just trying to figure everything the *&{c754d8f4a6af077a182a96e5a5e47e38ce50ff83c235579d09299c097124e52d}^ out… we ask questions that limit us and keep things from unfolding more powerfully (and more beautifully). We typically ask questions that sound like “Why is this happening to me”. From that question the information that’s trying to reach you…can’t and won’t. Change the question and perspective and something else comes towards you. It’s a great big huge shift. Usually our questions go something like this: Why is this happening?

Male Runners and Eating Disorders

Written by Ron A. Thompson, PhD, FAED, CEDS Eating disorders are more prevalent in “lean” sports than “non-lean” sports. Lean sports have traditionally included weight-class, aesthetic, and endurance sports. Distance running has been included with endurance sports, although the term “endurance” has recently been replaced with “gravitational.” Gravitational sports are those in which moving the body against gravity is an integral part of the sport (Sundgot-Borgen et al., 2013). In discussing risk factors for male runners, it is important to understand that the sport of running is not the problem, but rather some of the attitudes, beliefs, and practices often associated with the sport. The specific risk associated with distance running is that a lean body is believed to provide a biomechanical advantage
