im really fucking sarcastic for someone who’s about to start crying most of the time

I hate the word “flattering” because really it means “hides your beautiful body to make you look taller and skinnier”. Can we drop “flattering” as a compliment and stop congratulating women only when they camouflage themselves?

TIME FOR MY DAILY OILING

This is why females suffer from crappy body image. It’s the image we see when we look down at ourselves. This is the image that messes with our minds. Everyone sees you as the top picture. Some days you and other people ser you as the second picture. But everyday. Women see themselves as the bottom picture.

This is for me to tell you. You are beautiful. And this image of yourself doesn’t define you. It is not a true representation of how amazing you are. It’s just a stuffed-up, weird-ass, arial view of yourself. And trust me when I say.

You are worth so much more than how you look. YOU ARE A SUPER STAR AND YOU WILL RISE UP INTO THE SKY AND BRIGHTEN SOMEONE’S NIGHT SOMEWHERE.

When you graduate from high-school and you are still counting calories, exercising obsessively or hugging toilet bowls having an eating disorder is no longer a novelty. When you hit your twenties and your friends are busy; studying and socialzing while you become more and more isolated, alone with your eating disorder suddenly being ‘unique’ is no longer desirable. As your 30th birthday approaches and others celebrate careers, families and travel while you struggle to find something to commemorate suddenly you start to see that having an eating disorder has become a liability. By the time you are in your forties you come to the painful realization that more than half your life has been spent avoiding all the dreams and hopes that you once had for yourself. And you finally start to see, that all of these years that have been spent counting calories, exercising obsessively or hugging toilet bowls has meant that you really haven’t been living at all.

So I just found a document from Food and Agriculture Organisation which documented all of the countries' calorie intakes. It's a little bit out of date (from 2007 i think) but if you think about it, this is when the world began doing the diet stuff anyway. And on the database, it averaged pretty much 2500-3000 calories for all countries except third world, which was about 1500-1800! So guys, you aren't eating all that much! Thanks, just wanted to write in :))

You are an angel <3

[tennosea]

This is important but also the part about the world starting the 'diet stuff' in 2007 made me lol. I am preeettttyy sure it was a little earlier than 2007...

[everythingeatingdisordered]

So literally one minute I feel all 'yay recovery, I'm so glad I'm getting healthy and putting an end to that nightmare finally', and the next I'm all 'I don't even want to recover, I just want to be skinny' and it's really annoying and I just wish I could live a normal life without having to worry about all of this. I wish I'd never become sick in the first place. Recovery is soo exhausting, both physically and mentally. It sucks. Having anorexia sucks even more. I just want a normal life :(

Unfortunately that’s a very common thing to experience when you are battling an eating disorder. Remember it is a battle and there are two sides, and sometimes the opposition (your ED) sticks its sword in and makes you feel crappy. Keep fighting and eventually you will win the war. It’s a struggle, and you’re right - it is exhausting - but after you’ve won, you won’t have to fight any more.

I am still dealing with this every damn day

Go ahead: Ignore the "latest studies" and savor that chocolate

In picking our diets, we pay far too much attention to basic research into phenomena we barely understand -- and not enough heed to our own senses.

We Americans have a manic relationship with nutrition science. One day, we believe we know nothing; the next, we are convinced that all mysteries have been solved, and we probably need to buy that high-cacao chocolate bar –as long as it’s gluten-free.

Actually, it would be more accurate to say that this crazy, co-dependent relationship isn’t with the science itself, but with the people who repackage the science and transform it into money. This faux-science industry depends on the rapid oscillation between total certainty and total disillusionment. It thrives by telling us that everything we thought we knew is wrong — and yet salvation and certainty are within grasp (for a modest price).

I am posting this because I've spent the last 24 hours triggering myself by reading various 'guru' blogs about paleo, high carb raw vegan, and everything in between. It's all bullshit, as also is the traditional American/Western "understanding" of nutrition. Essentially, we know nothing. NOTHING. Except what tastes good and feels good. The diet fads that are successful are successful because the point of origin is charismatic and loud. Period.
