Being off of tumblr has given me a lot of distance from body positivity/fat acceptance, made me realize that the uhhh general environment I guess was making me feel guilty for losing weight on purpose which is bonkerssss and after learning a lot about the current culture of body positive/fat acceptance I’m like oooohhhh okay yeah that all makes sense now. Also if I saw one more person reblog a dumbass post about how BED isn’t real or is only caused by restriction I was going to lose my mind for real lol. Oh also the phrase “in a larger body” shut UP oh my god I am FAT and I AM a “larger body” because I am my body. I’m not “in” any body it’s literally meeee. way so many people are dead set on extreme dissociation is so disturbing

i have an eating disorder but im not ready to recover right now. its too much. i know i cant do it on my own but im too scared of getting put in residential treatment and getting abused and broken there, even though my ed isnt that severe, so i have to hide everything. i feel guilty but my ed is comforting and familiar to me

It can take a while to get from knowing what you're supposed to do to feeling ready to actually do it, and that's understandable. I hope you manage to prioritize harm reduction, even if you aren't ready to commit to recovery, and I hope that you'll eventually reach a point where your illness start scaring you more than the recovery process. Because you do deserve to get better ❤️

hi, i'm sorry to bother, specially because this is a heavy subject and i understand if you don't feel comfortable talking about it, so please feel free to ignore this ask.

recently, i've realized that i might be at risk of developing or have already developed and eating disorder, and i've seen that this is common for people with adhd, both because we can often forget to eat or rely on food for comfort and dopamine (i think), both things i do sometimes and feel extremely guilty afterwards. i'm already talking about this to my therapist, but i also wanted to know if you have some advice or something about this subject.

thank you for reading this, and sorry for coming to you with such a complicated and heavy subject. i really hope i don't cause any triggers or anything, and i'm really sorry if i did. thank you again, i hope you have a nice day!

hey, no worries about this being too heavy. i struggled with anorexia as a teenager and somewhat into college.

honestly the best advice i can give is harm reduction. we can’t always help ourselves so i think it’s much better to start with smaller steps to recovery rather than jump right into it (unless one feels ready for that!)

for if you undereat —

safe foods — not in the way pro-ed communities define them, but as in; foods that don’t make you feel as bad for eating, that you enjoy. doesn’t matter if they’re “healthy” or “unhealthy”, it’s more important to get some substance in you.

DELETE THE CALORIE COUNTING APPS if you’re using them. ik a lot of us do/did. same w journals etc. try to avoid counting in your head if you can.

stay away from pro-ed spaces. even if you’re just curious. seriously stay tf away that shit is SO dangerous.

remember that you deserve food no matter what.

for if you overeat —

often causes nausea, so some ginger tea on hand is good. but drink slowly!

“safe foods” also work here

if you can predict/feel you are going to overeat, eating more fiber may help fill you up faster and help with that. but talk to your doctor about this first.

look into some new hobbies! it’ll help fill the burning need for dopamine we have lol

and again … you deserve food no matter what. whether you’re binging or restricting.

and most importantly — try to forgive yourself. it’s okay to struggle. it’s okay to have worse days. there is ALWAYS tomorrow. i believe in you and hope this helps a bit❤️

i've made this post time and time again, but it's actually incredible how people straight up do not care if you have an eating disorder while fat. go "yeah i've struggled with ("atypical") anorexia" and people 1) will not believe you if you aren't thin or 2) WILL believe you, but won't give a shit because "at least you're getting thinner!" (aka more healthy in their eyes despite the fact that you are starving yourself, depriving yourself of nutrients, etc etc etc). it's so evil

#like i am suffering but the response is omg have oyu lost weight good for you. SHUT UUUUUPPPP #im about to start biting people #'fatphobia isn't real' Whats all this then #eating disorders #eating disorders tw #tw eating disorders #disordered eating

let me look in your eyes (lawlight h/c)

Read on AO3 2.2k words Content notes: centred around eating disorders, includes descriptions/depictions of purging Sequel to Hand Me Your Hand After returning from a somewhat disastrous holiday party, L and Light have a conversation.

“Is it,” he says, “difficult to know me?” Light looks over at him. Xie shuts xir eyes, breathes out, then opens them again. “No,” xie says. “It is not.” Xir voice is very firm.

finally tumblr stopped giving me weight loss ads (which are triggering af as I'm trying to recover from an eating disorder 🙃) and instead are now trying to sell me packers for swimsuits. and thank god for that

kind of desperately wish there was a socially acceptable way to tell a good friend i love you and i'm happy you've been losing weight since that's what you wanted, but every single time someone mentions weight loss to me i relapse catastrophically and end up in insane mental anguish

#like this literally ruined my whole day i honestly can't stand myself #eating disorders tw #weight tw

[amongussexgif]

Tw ED talk

binge: eat again, usually over a set "calorie limit" the individual doing it set

purge: throw up after eating

fast: stop eating for a bit to be skinny

Oh I see

Yeah that's not even remotely good for you, you're gonna end up miserable and hungry

Are people on here still insisting that BED isn’t real and that all binging is actually caused by restricting? That was so annoying

Tw weight loss tw pregnancy tw eating disorder mention

Ugh Kat I need some you-brand positivity. I've struggled with eating disorders for years (not eating enough, binging and eating too much, eating things that aren't food) I've lost 25lbs in 10wks from being so sick while pregnant (and I'm doing better now!) keeping food down etc, but God I need some positive reinforcement today

Aww, I'm so sorry you've been struggling to eat! I am sending you lots of love and I really hope this eases up soon so that you can enjoy this journey! You're making a whole new person and it's not like that automatically cancels your existing mental health issues out, so please try to go easy on yourself! And can I just say congratulations?? Like wow. A baby on the way?! That's really big and I wish you all the best! You'll make it through this pregnancy and it'll be SO worth it! I'm sure of it. And I'll be sending all my love ❤️

(Of course my dear, I do apologise this took so long. Life was life for a while. I based this one on personal experrience but all eating disorders show in different ways. I send hugs to all those that deal with them, for the bad days and the relaspes but just know you aren’t alone.

I am going to tag this with eating disorder warning, I did try to keep it sort of vague enough that it shouldn’t be triggering but I don’t want to run any risk.)

          ____________________________________________________

Hanzo is quite aware of how the mind can shape the body, putting ideas in one’s head that aren’t necessarily healthy.

First noticing this in you one afternoon. Hanzo, Genji, Hana, Lucio and you had decided to take a walk through Havana after being stationed nearby. Some sort of festival had been going on, the sound of music had filled the air, children laughing, smell of food and sweets hanging heavy.

It had been quite a fun experience, Genji, Hana and Lucio all being eager to start binge trying everything in sight but none of the food seemed to interest you, explaining it away as “having had a large breakfast” but he noticed you seemed to lose any colour in your face and seem almost nauseated by the smells and looks of the treats around.

Making an excuse of needing some fresh air, he had taken you with him to a large park where while there seemed to be a band playing and some small rides set up, the smell of food was faint.

Questioning whether you felt alright seemed to yield no results as you insisted you were fine so he let the subject drop. Distracting you with small talk as you both waited for the rest of your group to be done.

He seemed quite concerned over the next few days but after some reassurance from you that you were fine, he seemed to let it go. To you at least. He kept quite the close eye, concerned about his dear one.

Noticing a pattern emerging with your behaviour. Some days you were your usual self, others you were withdrawn, self-critical, commenting on your physical appearance and wearing large hoodies. He always checked on you, make sure to compliment you both on actions taken or on physical things. Being slightly more affectionate.

You always seemed to bounce back but would hit those low points and he could never quite figure out why. You made excuses but he could always tell there was something more going on.

It hit him during a mission in Oasis, the two of you had been tracking Null Sector in the area for a week. Having to pull odd shifts to  keep up with the Omnic group's activities as unlike you both, they didn't need to rest.

After waking you up for a 3am shift swap, he was alarmed as you tried to take a step out of bed and just crumpled like a leaf. He was able to catch you before you hit the floor, your limp body being moved back to the bed.

You had woken up after a few seconds, your boyfriend’s concerned eyes staring back into yours with a hand pressed to your forehead. 

Another attempt was made at getting out of bed with your insistence you were fine, you ended up having to sit back down quite quickly. 

After a quick argument about the mission taking priority over you having a dizzy spell, Hanzo made it very firmly clear you were his priority and others could take over for them. Null sector were not aware they were being watched as far as you both knew and he refused to put you in danger when you were not 100 percent.

After that, evac was called, Genji and Tracer soon taking your place on mission as your boyfriend was far too concerned about you to be able to focus and you knew in your current state, you would just worry him more if you left without him.

The next few days were spent in your shared apartment, the couch becoming a small nest of blankets and pillows, your favourite movies and TV shows being watched as the two of you cuddled on the couch. The compromise on food being a snack plate of your favourite items that you slowly worked your way through it.

He was quite proud of you and made that known over those few days, pressing the occasional kiss to your head, giving the occasional squeeze here, telling you that he loved you there. Trying to show in his own way that he understood but was proud of you for whatever you managed to eat.

From there on, he kept an eye on you. Never being overbearing about his reminders about you needing to eat but not ignoring it.

Handing you a breakfast bar in the morning, coming by with some of your favourite meals for lunch, finding local restaurants that allowed take-away for dinner. Respecting the times where you couldn't get yourself to finish a plate and simply putting it away as leftovers. Always quick to reassure you that while structured times to eating could help, it was never too early or late in the day to eat something. Or that a snack and some water was truly better than nothing at all.

The compliments turn up to an 11 on those bad days, not just limited to physical ones but those were the main brunt of them, ones about your mental abilities, smarts, one liners he still finds particularly funny that you had delivered were often also common. Wanting you to know that even if your brain was being cruel to you about your appearance, that he thought you were gorgeous. No matter what.

it's still sunday so here's a post about gaius' e.d.

Gaius has struggled with depressive issues for probably most of his adult life. the severity of it comes in waves, but after his failure at Mor Dhona, it seems as if the fog reaches a new level of normal for him.

it is compounded by injuries he sustains and the undercurrent of PTSD that begins to become obvious. due to Gaius' furious attempts to keep himself emotionally in check and reigned in, his emotional symptoms begin to manifest in physical ailments. if he won't seek aid for his nightmares or depressive slumps, maybe he will for ulcers, weight loss, and difficulties in bed.

as his failures begin to compound, he keeps fewer companions, making his inability to keep afloat not overtly obvious. it is mostly a problem he sees post ARR MSQ and beyond, when he begins to rendezvous with permanent traveling companions and the scions as a whole.

the infuriating truth is that it isn't consistent, and that he blames it solely on his "advanced" age. coupled with his other self-image issues, it simply spirals: he feels emasculated by his inability to consistently be able to have sex, and this causes him to simply... avoid it all together. the man is a walking pit of self shame and it is just another nail in the coffin.

after the Weapons storyline and as he seeks closure with all he's done, finding solace and companionship with the WOL and others, it begins to ebb little by little. he isn't able to "contribute" at every romp, but he's gotten used to it and simply views it as a fact of living, and there are ways to be dominant in bed that don't involve pe.netration. there are times where it comes after - as if the fear of performing itself had lifted - and, unless he is with a longer term partner, he will simply finish himself in the washroom.

if he is with someone he truly trusts and isn't simply fucking - well, everything before was just foreplay, then.

(there are alchemical and herbal remedies to help, but the answer would have to come to him, not the other way around. Gaius is absolutely not a man to seek out medical opinions or help, whether for his mental health or his physical health. he never has been. his struggles, both emotionally and physically, are simply symptoms of existing.)

Why do people feel the need to do this ?

TW

So basically I was visiting my grandma today and I was expecting a flood of comments about my body but surprisingly that didn't happen which I was rlly happy about. And I was in an okay mood when we left from their house. Me and my little sister (she's 10) were walking home and my mum calls me and goes "hey can u go pick up some meat for lunch" and I go sure. We go to this meat store/place idk and we get in, theres a woman there working and she seems to know my little sister. So the worker goes "aww look it's the little football player 🥺" (my sister loves football) and I was like haha yea. The woman then turns to me and goes "who are you ?" And I go I'm her sister :). The woman then looks at my sister and then at me and she goes "Ur sister plays football, what do u do" and I answer i draw and write a lot.

And that fucking woman goes "aaa I see that's why Ur not skinny like Ur sister here"

In translation she's shaming me for not doing any sports and for not being skinny cuz of not doing sports

............

Yeah bitch that's why I starve myself instead 🥰🥰 ps thanks for the motivation ☺️☺️

I say this as someone who has struggled with Anorexia - I hate the new “waifcore” aesthetic with my whole heart. It’s not a cutsey “waif” thing, it’s another name for proana bullshit. (I’m not talking about memes and discussions about recovery, just to be clear). I see so many Pinterest boards glamorizing eating disorders and addictions. And I get it. As a teenager I looked at proana stuff too. But you know what I didn’t do? Share these images with the rest of the world.

“I just do it to cope.” No. If you post and share Pro-ana images you are not “coping”. You are hurting other people. You want to look at pro-ana waifspo heroin chic aesthetic shit to cope? Fine. That is not healthy and certainly not a good coping mechanism, but at the end of the day that effects you and only you. You spread that shit around because you want more followers on instagram/tumblr/pinterest etc.? You are complicit in cultivating a culture that actively hurts people, including kids.

Anorexia does not make you look pretty and doll-like. It makes your hair fall out and become brittle. It makes your skin sallow and fucks up your digestive system. It makes it so that you are always in pain from something, whether it’s your stomach or a headache or muscles (atrophy) or your fucking bones. It makes you tired and dizzy all the time so you can barely think. It gives you wrinkles even if you are a teenager. And you can die from it - heart, lung, kidney failure, the list goes on but I’m not going to bore you. And it’s not a pretty, quick Lisbon-Sisters-esque death. Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychological disorder. And if you don’t die, you can have health problems years down the road. And it takes forever to recover, if you’re lucky enough to. For me it’s been over a decade and I still sometimes struggle.

It’s not cute. It’s not ~aesthetic~, and it’s sure as fuck not “coping”. Stop sharing this shit where teens and kids and people who struggle with eating disorders can see it. I don’t care if you’re “coping” or trying to get more followers or whatever. You are directly hurting people.

I genuinely, genuinely hope that anyone who looks at/spreads pro-ana content gets help. I’ve been there. I know it’s easier said than done. But you need to realize it doesn’t make you beautiful or give you control. It takes your life away so that it becomes the only thing. You lose any type of control you think it gives you, especially if you are hospitalized (which you can forcibly be, even if you are an adult).

I know that it’s unlikely that anyone will listen to me or stop engaging in and spreading pro-eating disorder content, but I have been on tumblr a long time and have a fairly decent amount of followers so I hope it reaches someone.
