I wouldn’t eat before going to the beach or the pool so that my stomach could stay flat.

Let me say that again - I skipped a meal so that I could LOOK better instead of simply enjoying my time with friends and family. You know, instead of simply being a kid.

I was about 13 years old - maybe even younger - when I started obsessing about burning calories, eating “clean” and looking a certain way.

To be honest, the more I think about it now, the more I get mad at our society and diet culture for telling me that I wasn’t good enough or pretty enough and that I needed to be better by dieting.

That’s why @ww’s new app for kids (Kurbo) scares me. I was young and vulnerable when I started counting my portions using the Canadian Food Guide in the fear of being fat (P.S there’s nothing to fear or wrong about being fat).

I was young and vulnerable when I felt guilty for eating a piece of cake... on my birthday - or any day.

I was young and vulnerable when I would skip breakfast before going to the beach or the pool so that my stomach could stay flat.

I was young and vulnerable when I would check my stomach in the mirror every couple hours to see if my body changed.

I was young and vulnerable when I dragged my brother to the park so I could burn calories on the swings.

That app will most likely be the cause of many bad relationships with their bodies, exercise and food. That won’t improve these kid’s health, it’ll make it worse.

No kid (and no adult) deserves to feel like shit about their body and themselves - ever.

Kurbo is an app designed to help children make healthier choices. Here's why it doesn't work.

[brightandblossom]

This has been an area I have wanted to write about for quite some time, and as much as I am fearful of the judgment I may recieve from others, I feel it is my duty to write something on this matter. Let's say after using the app since the age of 8...that one day the app breaks down and malfunctions, and that child (now an adult) finds themselves in the real world,making choices for themselves without the use of an App. They want to try a new food but feel they can't because the app is not there to make sure it is the correct amount and correct ingredients for them. They have totally lost track of when they are actually hungry or full, due to relying on the app to tell them and give them times to eat instead. They do more activity one day compared to their usual activity, but feel they cannot eat to satisfy themselves due to not understanding that they might want different foods on different occasions. Even fruits and vegetables come in different sizes and shapes wherever you go, so they no longer know which size is correct and decide it may be best just to avoid them altogether.... OK this is a very extreme and kind of weird example....but I write about it now because this is essentially the type of thing being promoted to children as young as 8 years old.This is essentially the equivalent to telling a child that food is scary and dangerous. It is telling them that they cannot trust their own sense of hunger and they therefore need to rely on a "robot" to calculate and tell them how much to eat. #edrecovery #mentalhealthsupport #eatingdisorderawareness #orthorexia #dietculture #psychology #mentalhealth #ww #calorietrackers #kurbo https://www.instagram.com/p/B1bZD7yH9U8/?igshid=1ann7rd52wrse

Anyone know an app like kurbo (as in for minors) but uses specific numbers instead of red/yellow/green light stuff?

[magicalgirlpropaganda]

I rlly need to actually start using kurbo

But aaaaah I cant find any other diet apps that aren't -18 but kurbo isn't specific enough when it comes to food. Like the red/yellow/green light stuff but no numbers

Do you still remember how you met Botan?

Oh yes, I remember quite fondly of our first true face to face encounter.  I had seen Botan well before our meeting… the night I found her walking with Yusuke in the city… and when I had tracked them back to Yusuke’s apartment…but we had never spoken until that night upon the hospital rooftop.    She was a bit leery of me, given my nature as a youkai, but I assured her I meant no harm and I studied her with interest.

  There has always been something quintessentially feminine about Botan that greatly appealed to me and it was no different during our first conversation.  My initial physical attraction to her was only natural, as her form was very pleasing to the eye, but I confess it was the light I could see in her soul that drew me to her most.  It was warm… pure… breathtaking… beautiful… all the things I was not… and I became lost in that light. Despite the darkness of my own soul, I felt a desire to protect her… and the precious light within her, no matter the cost to my heart and my own soul.  I guess that’s what love truly is… though at the time I wasn’t really aware of such emotions.  I did, however, want to get to know her better and put her at ease, so I asked about Yusuke, trying to ascertain his health and she told me he was fine.

I was relieved and inquired what it was she wished to speak to me about.  She told me I would not be punished harshly for my crime of theft and any time I was needed to assist Yusuke, I would be called upon to do so.  I told her I would be happy to assist her.  Her blush was quite endearing and only added to the charm that was Botan’s alone. 

We introduced ourselves formally, though in truth we each knew the other’s name and shook hands… in that moment, I felt her ki weave passively with mine… inwardly surprised and delighted at how compatible our energy was… the sensation was rather pleasing and I was reluctant to let go.  But I did, giving her something to remember me by, a seed for Paeonia Sterniana, which grows in high altitudes and would bloom into a white flower.

I found her surprise at the gift cute and very endearing and I wanted to share my love of growing things with her.  She told me she wanted to see my garden sometime and wished my mother well which endeared her to me even more and we parted on good terms.  This was the beginning of our journey from enemies… to friends… and well… that’s a story for another time.
