I spent four months in hospital last year recovering from Bulimia Nervosa and major depression.  I made this blog to help myself realise all the beautiful things about this world, and what I have been missing out on for the last 5 years of my life. Also for a place to vent and write about my recovery. I know that this is going to be a long and painful process, but i won’t give up,   there is light at the end of the tunnel.       p.s.    i absolutely love macaroons (and pastels omg). Ive never had one before, but it is my recovery goal to go out and buy and eat a macaroon. One day.

Obese. An if I go into treatment now I will refuse food and not comply. And re lose any weight gained at hospital as soon as I get home. So I&amp;#8217;d rather wait until I feel like I&amp;#8217;m ready and want to make recovery happen&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://beautifulrecovery.tumblr.com/post/51057674222</link><guid>http://beautifulrecovery.tumblr.com/post/51057674222</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 16:05:07 +0800</pubDate></item><item><title>TW.

Feeling like shit. Dad took work off to look after me an call my dr at Hollywood. Fucking fantastic. I still refuse to go back inpatient. I’m walking to pick my sister up from school to get out for a bit and clear my head. Binge purging is completely out of the question now. And I’m scared of most foods when I can’t purge them. So this probably won’t end well. :( fuck my fucking life.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://beautifulrecovery.tumblr.com/post/51055729994</link><guid>http://beautifulrecovery.tumblr.com/post/51055729994</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 15:01:16 +0800</pubDate><category>bulimia</category><category>anorexia</category><category>relapse</category><category>feel like shit</category></item><item><title>"It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready.

There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now.

Fasting for a day and then “fainting” in the hallway is not anorexia. And “getting so desperate I seriously considered anorexia or bulimia” isn’t an eating disorder.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bulimia is a speeding train with no brakes, bingeing and purging and bingeing and purging no matter how broke you are or how disgusting the food is or what you should be doing. It’s gorging until you can barely stand, puking until you bleed, and the city could burn to the ground and when it was over you’d still be standing in the ashes, bingeing and purging.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anorexia is a wall of blue-gray ice, a miswired translation code that turns appetite into disgust, a terror you don’t understand, a fear so real you can see it and hear it and kiss it goodnight, an illogical logic that rewrites everything and you know you need to eat and maybe you even really want to eat but you just can’t because if you did everything would fall apart.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Desperation is digging through the garbage for nothing-something-anything to stuff in your face because you have to binge and purge right now. Desperation is standing frozen in the aisle of the grocery store for minutes/hours/years, and then buying the same calorie-free crap you always buy because you can’t eat it if it’s not safe.&lt;/p&gt;”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;from Felice Fawn’s facebook (via &lt;a href="http://dontwanttobeanorexic.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog"&gt;dontwanttobeanorexic&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://beautifulrecovery.tumblr.com/post/50986181832</link><guid>http://beautifulrecovery.tumblr.com/post/50986181832</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 20:53:22 +0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Didnt realize you were from Perth too ^-^</title><description>&lt;p&gt;yay Perth (:&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://beautifulrecovery.tumblr.com/post/50984758159</link><guid>http://beautifulrecovery.tumblr.com/post/50984758159</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 20:15:49 +0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Wouldn't you be anorexic b/p subtype if you are underweight? What makes you bulimic? Sorry if this is triggering? I just don't know what makes a person bulimic or anorexic? I feel they crossover so much.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;TW. Well I was diagnosed when I was purely bulimic over 2 years ago and was average weight. Recently I don’t binge and purge as much and just restrict/purge and have lost weight rapidly. I think if I continue to lose weight my diagnosis will change. but I think most people with some sort of ed often go through stages of different disorders. xo&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://beautifulrecovery.tumblr.com/post/50979890851</link><guid>http://beautifulrecovery.tumblr.com/post/50979890851</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 17:48:21 +0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Are u underweight at the moment!
