Every year at 6th of may is International No Diet Day.
Mary Evans Young, a former anorectic, started this day to remind of the many people who endanger their physical health, mental health and sometimes life to lose weight.
Diets should only be considered for health reasons in arrangement with a docter, not for so called beauty reasons.
My anorexia is over since four years. Or is it?
In my opinion anorexia is like a drug addiction. You are sober but never fully healed.
There might be a relapse or many but that's okay.
It's a journey and you don't have to make it alone.
I have to take care of my mental health, keep distance to triggers (scales for example) and I have to know when my anorixia is talking to me so I can ignore it and wait till my good sense is back.
Always remember: You are enough. Everybody is valid and beautiful.

Hi, I like to draw scribbles of situation comedy.
Sam is telling you some storys that might have happened to my friends and family or just came to my mind somehow.
I draw my characters in blob shape with stick arms bc I don't want people to be associated with their body shape. Every body is beautiful and valid.
The comic will sometimes contain triggering content in the topics eating disorder and mental health, which will be ratet as mature content for your save reading experience.
Please excuse that my real life friends and family I use as models for my main characters are mostly whiteasses and non-disabled people (but by far not all).
