feel free to talk to me... don't be shy, there's no need to use anon! i am very friendly and welcoming.

Anonymous asked: The fact that you refuse to weigh yourself on the excuse of "it's only a number" should tell you something. In the same way you overcame the fear of eating certain foods, you HAVE to overcome the fear of weighing yourself. Wouldn't you think? Isn't it part of it? If you are in the ways of achieving a healthier, fitter version of yourself, the scale/balance must be part of the deal, it must give you purpose, otherwise you're just doing random things with no direction or goal. I mean no disrespect

i don’t have a fear of weighing myself. i don’t care what number i am. i don’t think it matters. before my eating disorder i didn’t think it mattered, i never weighed myself. i understand it would be different if i wasn’t weight restored or if i thought i was losing weight without trying. but, i’m not. listening to my body gives me way more satisfaction than weighing myself. my direction is body and mind peace, number or not. that’s all the direction i need.
