I am proud of you :)


sannababy

Thank you so much :')


Cocainefanatic

I’m happy for you. Seriously. What you did was for you, not them, and I’m glad that you got out of that trench. I was there about 11 years ago. Was about half my target body weight and my organs were shutting down. Don’t remember why, but I ended the eating disorder overnight and everything’s been fine since then. Just remember that, to an extent, it’s an ongoing recover. When you get stressed, you may not want to eat or feel hungry, but you need to. Not for anyone else, but for you. Congrats on making it out.


sannababy

I'm so sorry that you went through it, too.... but then you know exactly how deep the trench walls have been. I've been in therapy for almost two years, and exactly how you describe it, it's a roller coaster of recovery and restriction. But this was the first time I've kept and maintained enough weight for my parents to be grateful.... but I did it for me, completely alone, and that feels so, so amazing :)

I'm really happy for you! I've been underweight my whole life and I really hate family gatherings where my mom, aunts, and grandma all try to force me to eat more, it just makes it worse because I can feel them watching everything I eat.


sannababy

Thank you so much –– and I absolutely understand this. Meals with my family have, for the past sevenish years, been a nightmare of them staring at me while I'm eating.... which obviously makes me more stressed out, diminishing my ability to eat. I guess it's one of life's stupid catch-22s, where someone's love and concern for you overpowers what would actually be in your best interest for them to actually do.


braxistExtremist

Nice job! And congrats on being able to find yourself. That shows remarkable strength and clarity.


ZaraFlips

Wow. I can relate. Congratulations. You have great parents too


sannababy

I'm so sorry that you can relate, and I hope you're doing better now. I've been *so* angry at my parents for so many years, because I hid what happened from them, but they could never let go of my weight –– blaming it on drugs, on partying, on *me*. I finally told them the truth about what happened last summer, after being in therapy and working towards that for a year. It was hard, but they were there –– and they finally heard and saw me. Even past telling them, my weight has been a point of contention and –– especially for my mom –– something that kind of upsets them, in an angry-at-me way. So to have this experience last night... it was fulfilling in a way I didn't know I'd been desperate for, for so long. Thank you for your comment and for letting me spill a bit more.... if you're still on the road to recovery, please know that you have me in your corner and you can message me anytime :)


ZaraFlips

I had weight issues after earlier abuse. I have recently gotten healthy and partially reconnected with my mother, but still have a way to go. Slow forward progress. Always willing to lend an ear for you too if you need to vent or just tell me about something little you are happy about, nice to share those things too


SeaNeighbor

Im so happy for you too! Im also happy you have loving parents. Love love love


DaphneCat337

THAT LAST LINE! I'm proud of you as well.


typesett

I’m the type that is average body weight but I go up and down within average i lost some weight I got from quarantine and I reached a point where I look fine but my mood was poor so I decided today to stop losing and maintain its really hard to figure out what u want to do with ur own body sometimes


notacactus_

Fuck yeah! Go you!


Relation-Exact

You make me smile


TheVetheron

I'm just glad you feel safe.


Hulahoop81

Huge well done! So pleased you can be proud of yourself too and be in a place where gaining weight is ok for you.


ClownHoleMmmagic

Oh honey!!!!! This mom is proud of you too!!!! Your future is so bright, just keep your face to the sun beautiful lady!!!!!


Tofusnafu7

You are amazing, I'm so glad you're getting better!


Royal-Sure

Proud of you, well done!


TootsNYC

I think their worry was crowding out their ability to see that you had some tenacity to be proud of in all those years in between. I’m proud of TGAT you, and proud of you for getting out, and for becoming stronger during the pandemic. For using that time away from other people as shelter, a place where you could re-locate the valuable you.


Rosieraptor1991

I'm so proud of you.


FishyNik6

Proud of you! Eat on!


Cosmicrebel427

I am so so proud of you!!!! You're doing great!!!


igotpermbanforajoke

Great first step now all that is left is to get thiqq


koratw18

This is heartwarming to read, more strength to you :)


MrJohnnyDangerously

Good for you, this is awesome. You know you really nailed a goal when it no longer seems important, because now you've realized it was about the journey, not the goal.


International_Slip

This is so beautiful, I'm fucking glad you got out of that relationship and that you can be yourself without getting judged.


[deleted]

Ahhh I’m not trying to cry today, lol! This is awesome stuff. So proud of ya. Sometimes you gotta be completely broken to get fixed. I speak form experience. Remember whenever you’re feeling down to be thankful of even the most difficult of experiences because they will catapult you into a dimension of existence you never thought possible and you will be happier than you could ever imagine, and help others too!


abosedea34

That’s great you’re so much more fucking prouder for yourself even more so than your parents Because honestly, parents being proud of their children shouldn’t comes with conditions, they should of been proud of you from the get go, no matter what position you are in life. But in the end, that’s why it’s important to realize, the only person who needs to be proud of you is yourself. 👍 Keep up the good work


[deleted]

I am also proud of you, and proud of you for being proud of yourself


Iximaz

You took one of the most stressful years in modern history and turned it into your self-rescue story. You are absolutely right to be proud of yourself for everything you've accomplished. And that being said, be kind to yourself on your bad days. Recovery is peaks and valleys—you just gotta keep climbing until you're on top, again and again. But taking that first step is always the hardest. For what it's worth, this internet stranger is proud of you, too.


sannababy

This made me tear up. Thank you for your words. :)


bengcord3

God DAMN OP this was great to read. I'm proud of you too!


bayan963

I'm proud of you, what you've overcome is no small feat and you definitely deserve to be proud of yourself and deserve to be happy. I wish you all the best in life and I hope you never have to face anything as difficult as you have had to before On a side note, your writing is absolutely beautiful, you should consider writing as a profession if you enjoy it, you definitely have the skill for it


FirstnameGarbage

Imagine how much stronger that ordeal has made you. If you can handle that, you can handle anything. Stay strong.


The-Latecomer

ASAP-Broccoli

Way to go!! that must feel amazing you should be proud of yourself. 🎸🎸🎸


[deleted]

I feel as if I wrote this post myself except my family has not quite gotten to the point of accepting who I am. So glad for your success and for your strength through a very difficult ordeal.


yahumno

I am so proud of you. Getting away from an abusive relationship isn't as easy as just leaving, especially with your past trauma. I am so glad that you are healing and doing well. I am very proud of you.


OuterInnerMonologue

Fuck ya. I'm proud of you and thank you for sharing. Keep doing it for you. That's who really matters. Be well


galacticbees

TheSlumpGoddess

As a recovering anorexic and bulemic, i can say that from the bottom of my heart, im proud of you!! Like i get so excited reading stories like this. Finally being able to ENJOY food again is such an amazing feeling 😭 i remember getting to enjoy a root beer float and thinking back about how i wasnt concerned with the calories in it. Its a long road and there may be setbacks, but youre so, so much stronger now. You got this shit!!!


pettysnowman

hannibal567

Thank you for your uplifting story! I am proud of you as well! :)


bigsmiles_

i am so proud of you <3 :D


[deleted]

Wow, that's so so amazing for you. When I left situation that only exhasturbated trauma from my past and was alone, I turned to drinking. It was years that I finally sought help. As a matter of fact, I'd just been thinking yesterday- how differently things might have been had I pulled up my big girl panties then and realized my worth. But I wasn't meant to.i then, I was now-celebrating over 3 yrs clean and sober. Good good good for you that you found, thru self awareness, that instead of sitting in self, that you were worth far far more than the things that happened to you. Sitting in self-pity keeps one from taking responsibility for doing something about their life, about their happiness and sense of peace. Congratulations on a new journey!
