Just so it's clear, one of my big dni crits is this:

TW: My rant includes HEAVY topics of ed (eating disorders) and intentionally starving yourself/unhealthy weight loss 🙁.

This post is also ULTRA long, will definitely contain grammar and spelling mistakes, and I'm not going to say 100% everything here is accurate information, as I'm a human and I make mistakes too.

Let me get this clear, I dont mean anyone harm with this post. My intention isn't to hate or attack/hurt anyone to make them feel upset. I know that having an ed is a serious matter. I have friends and family who actively have/had these kinds of eds, so im not uneducated on this subject and I do understand it to a very in-depth degree. This is not to say I know everything about this topic, however.

It is definitely not easy to recover from, and lots of people struggle from it every day. I am NOT saying people with this disorder are any less human than anyone else. I'm saying it's toxic for those who do have it since it actually harms your body a lot, and pushing it on others (not the fact you have it in the first place) is something I don't support.

So respectfully, if you do support/promote eds as a positive thing, or are/follow/interact with blogs who do, BLOCK ME AND DNI. thank you.

I love everyone for who they are inside, regardless of what their body looks like. And I'm telling you right now, as someone who tried so hard to have a perfect body and stop eating bc im super insecure, it's not worth it, and it makes you feel so shitty. I love you, whoever is reading this, no matter what. So please don't change who you are just to make others happy :( <3

--

So I was looking thru tumblr, and this one post kept getting shown to me where people were talking about basically the idea of: "its worth it to keep losing that undesired weight, you'll see results soon" as like a motivational thing. The tags (straight up tells you it's supposed to be inspo to becoming skinny and supports the idea having an ed is the only way to get a dream bod), and their whole blog had ed encouragement/motivation. To keep...starving, i guess.?? Despite their user being about being strong and healthy, nothing about this is healthy or keeps your body strong.

I didn't decide to write a whole rant about just that part of the post because I didn't start getting super concerned until i read the notes/comments (since i had seen a lot of these 'tw : ed' blogs before already). What I saw was that tons of users were promoting starving yourself as a goal and a good thing, and basically glorifying having an ed. And also using kpop idols with skinny and perfect figures like wonyoung to tell others that (almost a literal direct quote from this user-) 'us ed people don't want to be helped and we won't stop starving ourselves until we reach the weight we want.'

"You see it as negativity cause you're not disordered." KEEP IN MIND THE PERSON THEY'RE TALKING TO USED TO ACTUALLY HAVE AN ED (the screenshot below is the person they were talking to). I understand you can't push people to get help if they don't want it, but you have to draw a line when you start saying that every person with ed doesn't want help, which just isnt true. I looked at their blog, and it was all just calculating how many calories they ate and burned every day. Most of the posts they basically only totaled 300 calories a day. THAT IS SUPER SICK ☹️. An average human needs like 2000+ calories a day. It actively influences people to copy them by posting and blogging this SUPER unhealthy weight loss. It IS NOT positive on any level. It does nothing good for you. You won't feel any happier when you look in the mirror if all you can feel is pure hunger because you won't give your body what it needs. This is so sad to me because all the comments had people trying to ask how to start starving themselves, and every blog I clicked on all had ed triggers on their posts and bios. Some of those blogs were saying NOT to become like them because they can't see themselves recovering now that they're in too deep.

As said by people online who actually had and got through having an ed, they have explained it is very unhealthy and they were glad to recover. So even though I do not have an ed, and you might think I shouldn't be "judging" people who have them, there are plenty of formerly ed diagnosed people who know the bad effect it has on others/had on them because they can accurately relate. You can still educate people on a subject even if you yourself do not have to suffer from it/have it, as long as you're doing it properly with proven facts (literally all credible research you do anywhere backed by science and experts will prove eds aren't healthy). People educate themselves to teach others about other illnesses, ongoing or past wars in history, etc, they don't have firsthand experience with/from. And they can still be just as valid sometimes.

My whole point here is that on tumblr and so many other social media platforms, I keep seeing people (posts like this and whole blogs centered around this stuff,) encouraging (mainly young) girls to stop eating altogether to have a body that society and other people are more satisfied with. That's why, for a while, I also tried to do the same because of the people saying it was a positive thing to gain a bad relationship with food and start counting your calories to be perfect. I'm also someone who struggles with body image and being shamed for gaining weight. But at some point hou need to realize hurting your body and mental state is SO WRONG. NOBODY is perfect. So don't push you or anyone else to be. I learned this, and I get its super hard to ignore the judgment forced onto you by society and your surroundings, but there will be people who appreciate you just how you are now. Like me.

So with all that said, the moral here is:

Don't starve urself (on purpose. Bc some people genuinely have trouble eating and starve themselves non intentionally. I have friends who do this 😭)

You're perfect how u are now without being as slim as your idols (and even K-pop idols don't tell others usually to be like them because they know that their companies forcing them to strictly control their weight isn't something they want fans to look up to).

Don't force (potential) ed on others

Don't encourage unhealthy relationship with your body and food

I do support people with eds, as long as they aren't trying to make it something others should look up to, and aspire to have.

If you are someone who wants to normalize having an ed as healthy or positive, please do not interact with this blog and feel free to block me :(

Thank you for reading, have a good day and ily for whoever is reading this. 💗💖💓💕

Hi hi! Sorry if you don’t want asks about this; feel free to ignore me. But today I decided I’m gonna ⭐️ve myself. Do you have any tips? I can’t help but feel like I’m jumping into this blind.

My only tip for you is don't. If you're able to have a good relationship with food, you should.

I don't recommend ⭐️ving in anyway. I'm sorry if this wasn't the answer you were looking for, but I don't think anyone should be ⭐️ving themselves.

your eating disorder is telling you that you need to be “more sick”, when in reality that itself shows you are sick. healthy people do not desire this.

your eating disorder is going to convince you that being smaller will make you feel happy and satisfied with yourself. you will not. not even slightly. it will forever tell you it wasn’t enough, and you’ll eventually be on your death bed still unsatisfied.

the people around you telling you that you need help or that you are dangerously underweight aren’t lying to you. your eating disorder is fucking with your self perception. these people have no reason to lie about stuff so serious.

you want kids one day? if you stay malnourished you’ll lose that chance. not only that but if you do get lucky and have children without recovering, you’re going to pass this painful disorder down onto them due to unintentional projection.

your eating disorder is convincing you that your body is eating it’s own fat. your body is actually eating it’s own muscle. what else counts as a muscle? your heart. you can and will cause heart problems that could be avoided. don’t wait to have a heart attack to wake up to the realization of needing to recover.

i know you can’t control it. if you could no one would pick something so painful and brutal to deal with. 1 in five people will die from their eating disorder. 20% of all eating disorders result in death.

think about how you could’ve spent so many years not being miserable from this and going out with friends and eating cake on your birthday and not letting it consume you. you deserve to have cake on your birthday.

you’re gonna think i’m wrong and say “this won’t be how i’ll feel though”, but you’ll be the one wrong. i used to think people who made these posts were full of shit. the harsh truth is that me along with all the others telling you to wake the fuck up are not lying whatsoever. get out while you can, this will never be worth it and you will never be happy with yourself if you stay stuck in the loop.

skinny ≠ happiness.

it never will.

It's EDAW (eating disorder awareness week) so here's some friendly reminders for those in and those without an ED:

nobody is born hating their body, it's not a default coping skill to control our body until society, peers, and parents teach us to

EDs are a survival mechanism and coping skill, allbeit unhealthy, not a choice

It's not as simple as "just eat"

Eating and weight gain does not mean someone is recovered

We all eat. Otherwise we'd be dead. Eating something doesn't invalidate the fact that we have an ED

Accepting your body can look like tolerating it. You don't always have to love how it looks. It's largely about caring for what you body does for you

You don't need to be hospitalized or underweight to have an ED and deserve help

These disorders feel so fucking lonely

You've probably done more damage than you'll realize until recovery. You can have lifelong issues even after full recovery

It gets easier 💜 and recovery is possible

You don't need to exercise or do anything else to deserve food

You are not more loveable when you're sick. Those that really love you want to see you happy and healthy

Don't post body checks / sick pics. Don't post thinspo. Don't post anything with the intent of worsening someone's relationship with their body/food.

⚠️⚠️TRIGGER WARNING: ED, body image, depression, mental illness ⚠️⚠️

I would never in a million years post something like this to any of my other social media accounts but I’m proud of myself and how far I’ve come and want to make a post. It’s likely that this will be taken down for the “inappropriate photos” and I sincerely doubt that many will take the time to read this, but oh well. I’m writing this for me.

The purpose of this post is to share my story and spread awareness as well as positivity.

My body image is something that I have struggled with for a very long time now. Since middle school, I was overly aware of how my body looked and I developed severe body dysmorphia. I refused to wear bathing suits, I cried in the dressing room whenever I went clothes shopping, and I constantly compared myself to those around me. I hated my body and the way that I looked. This obsession with my appearance and my weight continued to progress throughout high school and even college. I began working out frequently, I logged my weight and everything that I ate for years, I counted calories, I would use a tape measure to measure my waste. At 15 years old, I would sob quietly to myself while looking at my body in the mirror. I would force myself to throw up after meals or when I felt like I overindulged. I wholeheartedly hated myself.

It wasn’t until my adult years that things started to get really bad. From 2021 to late 2022, I was at my absolute worst. I was in a bad place mentally and I was feeling out of control. As unhealthy as it sounds, my eating disorder was one of the few things that helped me feel in control of my life. I began weighing myself 4-5 times every day, my hair started falling out in large clumps, I began passing out almost on a daily basis (at home, at work, in the shower, in public), I was freezing cold all the time, i was chronically fatigued, and my body hurt and ached at all times. I was refusing to eat more than one full meal a day, and that meal typically consisted of a bagel with butter. I would look up the calories in ibuprofen before taking it, I started drinking my coffee black to avoid the calories from cream, I was constantly lying to my friends and family about my eating, I wouldn’t even let myself drink carbonated water because it made me feel bloated. I was so so so sick. Within one year, I had lost a total of 50 pounds, gone down 2 bra sizes, and had no longer fit in any of my clothing. I am a 6’3” woman and was weighing in at 124lbs when I decided that I needed to make a change if I wanted to live.

In November of 2022, I decided to actively work on getting better. I threw away my scale and called my doctor to get a referral to an ED program. I was advised to go completely inpatient considering the severity of my problem.

It’s hard. Every single day of this healing process has been hard for me. I have not once weighed myself since November and have been eating normal meals again. I refuse to let myself see the calories of the things that I eat and I’m pushing myself to break all of the unhealthy “rules” that I had previously made for myself. It’s obvious that I have gained quite a bit of weight since starting this journey, and although I still struggle with that and frequently have negative thoughts… I’m recovering and I’m trying. And that is all the matters.

I’ve slowly been learning to love myself with this new and improved body and I’m proud of myself for making it this far. I promise myself that I will continue to grow and heal even on days where I want to relapse or when I feel worthless or uncomfortable in my own skin.

I just recently learned some information that caused me to really, truly think about this terrible illness and how deeply and negatively it has, and always will, affect my life. About 3 weeks ago I wound up in the emergency department with severe heart palpitations, tachycardia, and vertigo. After doing an EKG and further testing, I was diagnosed with a rare heart condition in which can cause sudden fainting, seizures, or even sudden death. Unfortunately, one of the few things that can cause this, are eating disorders, more specifically anorexia nervosa. I wanted to throw up when I heard this. I didn’t realize how badly my ED could have been affecting my health. All that ever ran through my head was that I wanted to be skinny. I wanted to be thin because I didn’t feel worthy if I wasn’t. Surely, nobody would love me or want to see me naked if I wasn’t thin. What absolutely bullshit that is. I’m heartbroken for myself and I am so sad that I ever let myself get that bad. It devastates me to think about how many other people (men, women, young, old, etc.) struggle with eating disorders every waking minute of their lives. It isn’t worth it.

Please, please, please reach out to somebody if you are struggling with an eating disorder. You are so worth it and you deserve a chance at a happy and healthy life. You are SO much more than a number on a scale.

The first 5 photos are pictures that I took when I was at my unhealthiest and the remaining pictures are recent.

Are u fat? Did u ever feel like u were catfishing ur gf while talking w/o her ever knowing what u look like behind the screen? /gen, /pos

Brutal honesty here, I’d say I’m fat yes, but others wouldn’t. I wasn’t going to answer these asks about weight as I am currently recovering from an editing disorder relapse triggered by the ex that got way to deep and I didn’t know. Weight is a hard subject for some people and I am one of them, my weight is always on my mind, hearing an anon ask if I’m “fat” honestly hurts knowing what I’ve been through and what I’m going through. Again not the only ask I’ve got like this but fuck guys, please don’t be doing this to other bloggers, they don’t deserve this.

And to answer your second bit. No. I met my gf as she popped into my anons and I’m very open and honest on here, it’s my one safe space. So before we started talking she had a fair idea about how fucked I am in the head and my past. However we started talking as friends snapping back and forth until she told me she liked me. I freaked out, and we did nothing about her feelings until I was brave and sure enough of my own and my safety. I’ve been hurt before and I couldn’t bare the thought of her being the same. luckily, SHE ISNT! And I’m happy for the first time since god knows when. I know I’m not the skinniest, prettiest, funniest, smartest woman out there. And I don’t have the best boobs or anything going for me even that I wouldn’t pick me, but she did. So no I don’t feel like I’m catfishing her. She knows me better than I know myself.
