my new roommate said that her last roommate had an eating disorder and then talked to me about her clean eating and weight loss goals and how she buys clothes that are a little snug to motivate her to lose more

and like honestly? i have anorexia but this is why i constantly talk about the dangers of the “health and fitness” industry and diet culture bc we have essentially normalized certain symptoms of disordered eating but it’s ok if it’s under the guise of health i guess???

like how is calling it “clean” eating NOT a way to moralize food

how is intermittent fasting NOT the same thing as skipping meals

how come when i buy clothes that don’t fit, it’s something i have to tell my therapist about because it means i am putting pressure on myself to fit into them, but if a “normal” person does it then it’s just motivation for them?

where is the fucking line???

and more importantly when are we going to start acknowledging that the entire world is pro-ana but that’s too harsh of a description so we slap some health buzzwords on it to make it palatable

when are we going to take responsibility for encouraging disordered behavior instead of labeling those of us with EDs as the crazy/imbalanced ones

your fucking Whole30 or keto or whatever “clean” diet you’re on is just as restrictive as the diets we create for ourselves due to our disorders. but we are the crazy ones, right

Daily reminder that orthorexia is a really common symptom of eating disorders.

And do you know what orthorexia is? An unhealthy obsession with “healthy” food or other foods that you’ve deemed “pure” or “proper”.

According to the National Eating Disorders Association, signs of orthorexia include:

Compulsive checking of ingredient lists and nutritional labels

An increase in concern about the health of ingredients

Cutting out an increasing number of food groups (all sugar, all carbs, all dairy, all meat, all animal products)

An inability to eat anything but a narrow group of foods that are deemed ‘healthy’ or ‘pure’

Unusual interest in the health of what others are eating

Spending hours per day thinking about what food might be served at upcoming events

Showing high levels of distress when ‘safe’ or ‘healthy’ foods aren’t available

Obsessive following of food and ‘healthy lifestyle’ blogs on Twitter and Instagram

Body image concerns may or may not be present

The rising obsession with “healthy” foods is inherently unhealthy. Please keep an eye on your loved ones who are acting like this; there’s a very good chance that they don’t even realize that they have a problem because they won’t consider the idea that their “good” and “safe” foods could ever hurt them.

Gentle reminder that foods are neither “good” nor “bad”. They simply contain different amounts of certain things.

People with anxiety don’t have a train of thought. We have seven trains on 4 tracks that narrowly avoid each other when the paths cross and all the conductors are screaming.

no one ever talks about the fact that matthew cuthbert has anxiety/social anxiety. he’s had it ever since he was a child; his brother michael helped him through it a couple of times, but once he died he totally isolated himself from everyone (except for marilla). he ran away from the christmas play when he was still in school. however, once anne came, you can tell he changed; although it was a few lines he got up at the christmas play, raised his arms, and said: “and they lived happily ever… after!” in a BIRD costume. and then, in season two, while they are deciding to keep or not keep miss stacy, he STANDS UP from his seat, and says a few words himself.

you can clearly see the proud look on anne’s face after the scene and marilla’s shocked face. anne is so proud of matthew, and so is marilla. it’s another thing the show doesn’t quite talk about but shows: facing anxiety. and how you can overcome it. it’s not easy, and you can go through it all your life, but small accomplishments like the ones matthew did are achievable.

i always recommend wuthering heights to people because it’s such a unique book in which none of the characters are even remotely likable and yet….you really can’t wait to see where their bullshit is going to take them next. running away from home? cool. obsessing about revenge for the rest of your life? hey everyone needs a hobby. forcing your kid and the neighbors kid to get married? sounds like a plan. digging up your old lovers grave? why the fuck not at this point. you’re both pissed off yet fascinated. you will be miserable but love every second of it

Okay, but instead of another screen adaptation of Anne of Green Gables, which has already been done to perfection, why couldn’t the universe see fit to give Emily of New Moon the miniseries it deserves?

(You’ll notice I said “the universe” and not “Netflix”, because I don’t trust them to do it justice.)

tag yourself: l. m. montgomery protagonist edition

emily: defying constrictive rules, writing long messages that you don’t send, pine needles on a hardwood floor, dry white wine

pat: fried egg eaten over the stove, saving old textbooks, moonflowers at night, lying on sun-warm grass, silence in a museum

valancy: driving with your windows down and music blaring, vivid pink blush, eating cold chicken with your fingers, wading in the creek, saturday mornings spent reading and draped over the couch

anne: sharp eyebrows, an apronful of lilies, green vines in your hair, angel food cake, half-a-dozen notebooks spattered with ideas

rilla: polished silver, high-heeled oxfords, glossy hair, heart-fluttered flirting with your crush, crisp toast, clean laundry

marigold: dancing to songs from high school, braiding your friends’ hair, shortcake with whipped cream, tall sunflowers, lace socks, counting stars
