this is a pre-holiday reminder to not comment on what or how much/little you think someone is eating—or your perception of their weight. I promise there are ppl in your life struggling w/grief or depression or in ED recovery or or or—& you have no idea. don’t be the one that makes it harder on them.

Hi, it’s Sunday— tell me (or show me!) a thing that made you smile this week. I’ll go first: I found this on our calendar, where 8yo excitedly noted her first little race coming up. Now your turn. 🖤

Hey— if you’re in eating disorder recovery & are listening to the “Allison after NXIVM” podcast, maybe skip episode 3.

Tons of tiny ginger snaps for cookie Sunday.
(Only after I got started did I realize the recipe said it makes “130 bite-size cookies,” whoops)

And regardless of any of the loud stuff that may or may not add value for us: Recovery is possible. It is not too late.

A reminder that your recovery is yours, & sometimes people are going to say things that— well-meaning or not— may inadvertently trigger you & may definitely not be for you or applicable to your recovery. & no matter how definitively they state stuff— your recovery is yours alone.

I’ve worked really hard on body neutrality— “I have a body”— and can even feel thankfulness that my body kept going even when I wasn’t sure I wanted to.
I can also work a meaningful recovery without demanding something of myself that I’m not ready for— and might not ever be.

Once I saw someone well-meaningly say on here something like “you need to stand in front of a mirror and stare at your body until you find love there.”
I think about this from time to time & as someone in eating disorder recovery— no, I do not, and that is okay.

An update: my subsequent piece didn’t advance any further— but it’s a piece I was still kinda proud of.
Sharing this here because it’s part of the whole deal, & I don’t wanna just share the pretty, “perfect” parts.
Not giving up. Onward.

There is no step forward in recovery that is insignificant or “too small.”

I made a little post about a little dog and the response was overwhelming.
Thank you for your words and for sharing them with me— our pets really are the best part sometimes, huh?
Thinking of all the little best friends tonight— and of you, the humans who love them. 🖤

12 years ago this tiny guy very unexpectedly entered my world— & today, he very unexpectedly left it.

I wrote a couple of things the past two weekends that I’m kinda proud of. Continuing to be brave & pursue this dream & also being brave by sharing about it here. Kinda proud about all that, too.

Hi, I stepped back for a couple of weeks bc things have been heavy. But life keeps going, and it’s Sunday again— tell me something you like. I’ll go first: I like revisiting old favorite movies I’d almost forgotten about. Now your turn. 🖤
As of today, we’ve been doing this every Sunday for a whole year. Thank you for showing up here & sharing the things you like. I read every single one.
I’m thinking on what this looks like moving forward— not giving it up, but maybe a different prompt for year 2. Stay tuned. 🖤

Hey, it’s Sunday— tell me a thing you like. I’ll go first: I like tangible little things that have sweet memories attached: bottle caps, heart-shapes rocks, ticket stubs. Now your turn. 🖤

sometimes you just need to lay on your favorite human. I like to imagine she is soothed by my heartbeat.
