Hello there :) Just want to ask, are you still suffering from depression? Knowing someone in the same shoes could possibly help me feel better. -Anon

Hi lovely anon :) I can’t totally say I’m 100% fully recovered from depression, because every now and then it still haunts me and I might also have a relapse once in a while.. But don’t worry, it gets alot better when you keep trying to want to live happier and keep staying positive :) I’ll be here for you whenever you need me <3 You can email me too :) meatandpotato@live.com.sg

The urges to binge will go away. :) Of course not overnight. But you’ll realize little improvements. At the beginning, I realized that my binges became smaller or that I was able to stop me while binging. I also had huge relapses, but if you keep on trying you’ll be able to get back on track more easily after a relapse. And that’s also a step towards a better life! :) Chin up, you’re beautiful! <3 4-m-a

Haha! I love how you end off this msg: “4-m-a”, lol. Yeah! The other time when I didn’t binge for 5 weeks straight, I remembered it got easier with time and after 2 weeks or so I didn’t have urges as often anymore.. & even if I did, I really could control how much I wanted to binge on :D So right now I’m going to stay strong and work my way towards a better me :) Thanks anon <333 You’re beautiful too :) Wish I could get to know you :/

Just to remember you: Never give up, never surrender! You will overcome this - I promise you. Try to imagine a life without your ed. Truly imagine it! You deserve to have a life without this monster. Yes, you will relapse on your way, but every day that you make it through shows you that you can do it. If you keep on going, you'll collect "good memories" which will stop you from falling back. :) You got this!! (the-4-messages-anon) :)

Oh hey again!! :DD I’m so glad I saw this message.. I’m kind of having urges to binge right now, gahh. Thank you lovely anon, for your kind words :’) I’ll get through this.. Can’t wait for the day where all my struggles and effort to fight through this will be worth it. I’ll keep on fighting :) <3

To the gorgeous anon out there :’)

This is by far the sweetest, most beautiful and thoughtful message I’ve ever received. Thank you so much for taking your time to send me this 4-questions-long note, and making me feel so much better about myself :’) I really can’t thank you enough! Why go anon though? :( Your words are too kind for me to not know anything about you at all :(

First of all, you yourself are as strong as me, or even stronger than me for that matter, to even come up to me and letting me know how you feel and sharing your personal nightmares with me. & yes, restricting myself after a binge won’t help me in any way except to bring my self-esteem down further, create more hatred towards my own body, and depriving it of what it really needs. I promise I won’t rush in any way that could hurt my body when working towards my goal :)

Do you know how courageous it was of you to be willing to nourish your body in the right way and not be affected by all those demon thoughts in your mind that’s constantly telling you to give up and go back to your old ways? I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR THAT. IT TAKES SO MUCH STRENGTH AND COURAGE, to just push away the part in you that says “I want to be skinny so much, when I become skinny I’ll be so much happier. I feel fat, I need to stop eating. If i eat, I’m a failure and the only way to make myself feel better is to purge everything out.”THAT’S REALLY BRAVE OF YOU, MY DEAR :’) <3 I’m so glad you found the key to true happiness and finally freeing yourself of all the hatred you had for yourself those past few years :)

Your progress is amazing. You have so much strength in you I’m beginning to look up to you <3 I’m so glad I don’t let the scale define who I am anymore. Just obsessing about how much I weigh does me no good and besides.. It isn’t even an accurate way of measuring our body fat %. & yes! It really does get easier with time, though when I do have a relapse and binge, it becomes alot harder to get back on track and more often I’ll have another relapse again within the same week :( Still, I’m not going to let it affect me and I’ll just move one. Afterall, we all learn from mistakes and the only way to get better is to just accept the small slip-up, reflect on what went wrong, and really just move the fcuk on.

Haha. Aww babe, you’re really just inspiring you know that? Keep living everyday with that positive spirit and energetic glow in you and never let your guard down :) & it’s really okay for the “long” message, I really can’t thank you enough for taking your time to write this out <3 This means alot to me, and you’re strong and undefeatable, remember that!

P.S. Can I at least get to know you in some way or other?! I promise I won’t disclose any details about you if you’re uncomfortable about it <3 Stay strong :)

Have you got any tips to stop bingeing? I can't seem to stop, it's horrible :(

Hey babe <3 It’s okay, you can talk to me anytime :) First of all, don’t ever restrict yourself when it comes to the food you eat. There are really no bad/good food, it’s all about moderation! It took a hell load of effort, time + focus to get my mind off eating food that were off my “healthy list” in moderation- it was hard, but definitely worth it and it gets easier once you get used to it :)

If you’re weighing yourself and counting calories, stop for awhile. Maybe for about 2-3weeks, and if you really want to weigh/count again you can do it (but not so often). Eating “unhealthy” food in controlled portions won’t actually make us gain weight, but our bodies need time to adjust and 2-3weeks should do the trick.

The #1 quick fix I always go to when I feel like I’m about to binge- drink a cup of coffee. The bitterness in the coffee helps to get rid of all the taste of the food you’ve just consumed and it REALLY prevents you from wanting to binge further. And, coffee’s proven to calm the mind and makes us more alert, which kind of makes us more aware of what’s happening so the urge to binge might actually go away :D

In fact, when I do overeat/binge, I’ll just drink coffee and then continue to distract myself with other things to prevent me from brooding over the binge. Don’t ever look back if you slip up, sweetie! It takes time, and every tiny step towards improvement you take is a BIG push towards success and one day, you won’t even have thoughts about bingeing anymore :) <3

Stay strong!!

I KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS, I BELIEVE IN YOU <3

I'm just like you. I started losing weight because I felt fat compared to my boyfriend. Now I'm 37kg (81 pounds), weak, amnemic and suffering from on and off anorexia.

Hi sweetie <3 Please don’t ever feel alone, I know how it feels like to constantly bring yourself down and demoralize yourself for how you think your body looks like compared to your boyfriend. I’m always here for you, if you need a listening ear *hugs*

You can email me too babe :) Just rant all your thoughts, frustrations, anger, hatred- whatever- to my inbox. I promise I’ll try my best to help you get through this. And please know, that YOU are beautiful no matter what. Your body doesn’t define who you are (I’m fucking sure about this because I have some really awesome friends who stuck with me during those years while I was struggling with my weight/self-esteem/body image issues), and those people who judge you based on how you look, you can gladly turn your back on them and raise your middle finger up in the air.

I’m glad you had the courage to come up to me :) Here’s my email, please, drop me an email anytime you like :) I promise I’ll reply you ASAP. Fuck society’s standard, we don’t need the media to tell us how/what we should look like when every single one of us is already beautiful in and out. Stay strong beautiful <33

Tag, you’re it! Here are the rules: Each tagged person must post ten things about themselves. You have to choose and tag ten people. Go to their blogs and tell them you tagged them. No tag back. :)

Finally answering this :P

1. I’ve been in a relationship with my bf for almost 4 years <3

2. No matter how adorable pets/animals are, it takes almost 150% of my courage to even touch them lightly :( I admit I’m scared of animals.

3. I don’t watch the TV very often-not at all actually. Unless I’m over at my friends’ house for a sleepover etc.

4. If I had a choice to re-live my life all over again, I wouldn’t change a single moment or decision I made.

5. I hate the cold weather. I rather live in hot climates, bwhaha.

6. I can’t stand it when people make sensitive jokes and they don’t even realize the consequences of it..

7. I find reserved guys charming, in a really unusual way. (only applies to some)

8. I can’t wait to get back to school in April and pursue my Diploma in Food Science and Nutrition ^^

9. I’m not really into diamonds, jewels and whatnots.

10. The next thing I’m interested in apart from health/fitness is probably music (influenced by my bf, because he plays the drum and is really into music)
