I think a lot of people on this site role play having an eating disorder. They come in here talking about how they only eat X amount of calories a day or nothing at all. They misuse terms. They make it seem so glamorous and easy.
OP might be telling the truth but my point here is that I see a lot of stuff like this rolling across Tumblr now. Realistically people with EDs are probably not just drinking a glass of ice lemon water for breakfast. The rest of us in the in-between struggle.
By the naked eyes you can't even tell a person has an ED but Tumblr is out here making it seem like it's some romanticized soft girl life.
I think a lot of people on Tumblr now grew up in Tumblr. With no outside influences on how ppl in the real world with eating disorders operate. So now it's just an echo chamber of people trying to present the perfect ED version of themselves.
People on this site thinking eating 2000 cals in a day is a binge. Even the thinspo on here is trash now n days because it's all so heavily edited. So in a world where we already suffer from dysmorphia its made worse by seeing images that are mostly unattainable without surgical intervention.
Having an eating disorder is not glamorous. Food addictions are not glamorous. People should not ever feel pressured to put across a certain image of themselves.
There are a lot of blogs here ran by predators. And no not all of them are creepy old men.
