I love torties. She looks so soft

It looks legit to me but idk.
I am naive and vulnerable and this scares me

My mum would always get on my case for that.
Cuz I had so many thoughts and theories and I like to analyze things I like.
But she’d just say I was too critical or can’t I enjoy things?
Like, I wasn’t totally happy doing it my way

Damaging * lol.
Not increasing

I am proud of how far my health has come and how far my mental health has come.
My sense of worth and being is more settled and less shaky.
I feel more me than ever.
I just am starting to relearn who I am.

It’s been a long journey

I now am recovering from my puffy face and my body is knowing true health.
As opposed to the oppressive health ideals I was taught and upheld.

Living strictly, with lots of hard cardio and limited foods, was increasing to my health.
I’m still recovering seven years later from it
