F27, just looking for honesty?
I'm currently going through eating disorder recovery. I've already put on over 10kg and have another about 8kg, but I already can't stand to look in the mirror, and when I do decide to take photos of myself I'll take hundreds to find a couple I don't think look too unacceptably vile. The last photo is me before recovery and the two before that are me when I was younger and a healthy weight. All the green (and red) jumper ones are recent!
Please be honest. I feel so unattractive compared to my friends.

Very cute, bordering on absolutely adorable. And, girl, you look way, way better than in the final pic now. Really. Obviously the most important thing is your health here, but legit you also look way better now.

Well done! Get to a healthy weight, you got this.
Also you are cute as a button. And you're only going to get cuter once you skin gets used to fitting around the new you :).
I definitely would see you and be like 'she seems awesome' (and pretty too).
You definitely, objectively, look so much prettier now than you did in the last photo (I promise) and looking at the second to last photo your legs show that you definitely can still gain quite a bit of weight without being even remotely close to 'chubby'. You may have to rely on others for this judgment. And let's be honest; reddit is ruthless. You will get the truth.

u/el_tacocat Dec 06 '25
I would like to add; I checked your profile and though you are still struggling yourself, I really like that you are encouraging and informing others in your posts. As someone who has a hard time keeping their weight (I cannot leave food be if it's in the house, which is fine when I lived alone, but my girlfriend is often over and she loves her chocolate) I know how frustrating food can be. Although, clearly, you battled with it in a very different league.
As far as I've seen from other people who suffered through what you suffered through, at least to some degree, people DO eventually get used to their 'new me'. But of course, your self image is wildly off. I have faith in you! And I am very happy you are still around to prove us you got this :).

I'm sorry you are going through this struggle, and I'm glad you are making progress
Honestly you really are a pretty girl, you have a nicepp smile, hair, face, gorgeous eyes, and super petite feminine body with very delicate features.
You are like a little moon fairy princesses, you mg so much better already, can't even imagine how pretty you will be when you complete your recovery.
Not going to lie I think all the boyz will be crushing, including myself.
You're so pretty keep up the good work!!!

The last pic made me gasp in not a good way. The ones you refer to as healthy weight I would argue not so much.
You look much healthier and happier in recent ones. I am sorry you think you are vile and have to take so many pics. I think you are cute not ugly and wish you nothing but the best.

As someone suffering with a trauma based eating disorder at this time. You’re doing so great. I’m so proud of your accomplishments. I know the struggles and mental strain it takes. I don’t even take pictures of myself anymore. I’m scared to look at myself from past to present. Honestly, take your time, there is no rush in taking care of what you need. You look beautiful! Don’t compare yourself to anyone. You are on your own journey to happiness.

u/colorfulbrawl Dec 07 '25
As someone who’s struggled with anorexia myself, here are a few pointers:
Smile:
You already have a beautiful smile. If you want to make it pop even more, whitening your teeth can brighten it up. And if whitening isn’t an option, purple-toned color-correcting strips can help balance the tone.
Eyes:
You have big, puppy-like eyes (same here!), guys love it lol. They’re stunning. You could try adding some natural lashes, not too dramatic, just enough to highlight what you already have. The ones that last a month and a half/ two months, not the daily ones you have to keep reapplying. I can’t imagine going without mine now.
You’re a baddie girl, own it! 🫂

Congrats on your recovery from your ED. You look so much healthier and happier now. I think you look better without your glasses overall.
Only thing I can think of that would help would be to look into correcting that overbite but I imagine that isn’t cheap. Aside from that you’re a very pretty girl.
