seriously, i’m broke as it is
YOU GUYS.
i’ve seen a lot of pro-ana blogs claim that anorexia will make them happy, pretty, lovely. it will give them friends and people will like them if they have anorexia.
the top picture is the last picture i have of me at a happy, healthy weight. i had been weight restored for nearly a year, after recovering from anorexia. i was getting ready to go to a party the night this was taken (the only party i’ve been to since).
i liked myself, i took care of myself, i nourished my body.
me when i was weight-restored/recovered is a lot like what pro-ana blogs think they will achieve by ‘getting’ anorexia.
now, a year later, here i am at the bottom picture. i’ve relapsed. i feel horrible all the time (physically & mentally).
i might not weigh as much as i did in the first picture, but i feel a million times bigger. every minute of every day is torture.
torture because i’m ripping my family apart. torture because i’m isolating myself. torture because i’m killing myself and i can’t stop. torture because anorexia physically hurts. i have to sit on pillows and i can’t wear a purse strap anymore because it’s excruciatingly painful. i can’t hug my boyfriend or hold my puppy.
an eating disorder won’t make you happy. an eating disorder will destroy you.
Everyone should read this.

From the Nike Running Team -
What’s your longest running streak? A week? A month? A year?
What if we told you there’s a runner who has run for 16,000+ straight days? He’s run a 2:23 marathon. He’s run with a broken foot. He’s run on a ship in a tropical storm. Not to mention countless days where it was easier not to run.
Today Mark Covert can say his streak has reached 44 years. What will your streak be? Share with us—sync your Nike+ runs and hashtag your town.
Mark, today we dedicate our runs to you and your streak.
well this stomps out any excuses i felt i had
This makes me feel incredibly lame haha
I agree with above
Because I can.
Anyone who is following me, a healthspo, fitspo blog and reblogs this by the time I get home from physics 5EST, gets a promo.
Be honest, I will check. Also if you want me to check out your blog, message me.
When a thief forced you to take money from the ATM, do not argue or resist, you might not know what he or she might do to you. What you should do is to punch your PIN in the reverse…
Eg: If your PIN is 1234, you punch 4321.
The moment you punch in the reverse, the money will come out, but will be stuck into the machine half way out and it will alert the police without the notice of the thief.
Every ATM has it; It is specially made to signify danger and help. Not everyone is aware of this. Reblog this and share to your friends.This seems important enough to know, so I’ll reblog
