I personally don't think that you need to or should censor yourself (Unless it will help you...). Yes, it's semi-public, but it is your space, we don't have to look or read anything that we don't want to, we can make the choice to stay away from it. And if people make a choice to look and become triggered, well, that's not really because of you.
I myself am in a place where I know I'm quite sick, but I have an understanding that my LJ friends are all in different places, and I have to respect all of them. What anyone puts on thier own LJ, they have every right to.

I don't know if that makes you feel at all relieved, just know it's not your responsibility to set an example or tiptoe around other people's sensitivities...

thank you :)

I would just never want to be at the root of even the slightest discomfort in another person, especially with this, you know?

Plus its probably good I cut back on it, preemptively spare myself future embarrassment looking back at those pictures :P
I just feel a little hypocritical lately; I'd always been really staunchly pro-recovery; all of the things I've been posting about here I never admit to thinking, because I don't like others to think my head is as warped as it is. I feel almost an obligation to always pretend to be alot more put together than I am, not reveal the conflict I have between wanting to be sick and wanting to be normal. When other people call me out on it or are offended on what I post, it hurts. I don't want my honesty to seem like my boasting or defending of my disorder

I know what you mean. I tend to write things that I'm sure make people think that I'm really pro-ED and think that one must be as emaciated as possible. I'm really not like that at all, I'm just referring to how I feel about myself and my own situation. It would definitely upset me if I knew something I wrote made someone feel like crap... But my defense is what I said before. I just hope that anyone choosing to read my journal is doing so because they have made a decision to.
So I respect what it is you need to do, just don't feel bad for anything you've shared, you just had to get it out ;)

I agree entirely with dulce. This is your own space, and you should post whatever you feel like posting. What good is a place to vent if you feel like you still have to hide some things. Besides, people can choose whether or not to read what you write. If they don't agree with it or like it, they can skip over it. It is not your responsibility to keep everyone else safe. Sure, you still should respect others around you, but you need a space to be yourself. I think that because this journal is your personal space, it implies you may have some ideas and feelings you need to express that not everyone will appreciate, but they should either respect your space or simply choose not to be a part of it.

I don't know, I am kind of rambling. Basically, I'm just saying to keep posting pictures if you want and write whatever you want.
