ALSO not to be posting only about food but fucking PASTA???? god. amazing.
i hate this i was really looking forward to baking this weekend and bringing something in to the lab but now im just. dreading it and also the fact that if I bake/bring it I wont have the handy "oh no thanks I cant eat that :)" excuse kill meeeee
people need to stop asking me about how I went vegan because one days I'm gonna snap and say "yeah I just wasn't eating for days and then when I did eat I just didn't allow myself most food, so really it wasn't hard at the time at all!"
I feel like we need to be talking more about this book and Jennette McCurdy in general
" that, and the bulimia problem.. "
" dad.. I.. I feel so sick.. "
* What the hell happened to her..? *
<[he picks you up]
What's wrong, angel? What happened?
“She has an eating disorder, and there’s something about her relationship with food that was extremely unhealthy and toxic, and maybe a male relationship with sex that was extremely illegal and immoral and toxic and horrible, that I was interested in for some reason. But I think, personally, it went back to being a kid who was very obsessed with the internet when it first happened. I spent a lot of time online in the early days of things like the AOL chat rooms and the MSN chat rooms.”
— Lucy Prebble, in this interview
She was talking about The Sugar Syndrome, but a succ writer saying this checks out (respectfully)
SORRY FOR THE VERY PERSONAL COMIC!!
This is my half of “Unhealthy”, an essay comic double header with the lovely and talented Sarah Winifred Searle. She and I both wrote about our personal experiences as overweight ladies with eating disorders, and her story is breathtaking!

recovery; a return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength.
This is how i have been since i can remember. I can never remember a time before i was very picky with what i ate, before i was revolted by most foods to the point i could only eat a few. There is nothing for me to return to, because i have never known life without this eating disorder.
i will never have a normal and healthy relationship with food. i will never be able to go to a restaurant and order something new, just because i want to try it. i will never be fully ‘‘recovered’‘ from this.
and that’s okay to me. i don’t find this a bad thing, not really. i’m ok with how things are, but i know i’m not healthy and i have no desire to change, but if i did, i wouldn’t focus on trying to recover, or trying new different foods. i would just worry about making sure my body gets all the stuff it’s supposed to, and i wouldn’t mind if i had to eat vitamins daily for the rest of my life for that.
When you successfully eat a safe-food from your childhood
They day ppl finally stop telling me "you'll like it after a 1,000 tastes", "just keep trying and you'll get used to the food", "you need to try new foods", etc. etc. will be the happiest day of my life. I'm so sorry I'm not willing to subject myself to years of constant torture and misery for the faint hope I might someday be able to eat one or two more things. I simply don't think stress and throwing up are going to fix my severe lifelong sensory processing issues. I mean all power to those who decide for themselves that's the thing they wanna do, but baby I ain't gonna 'recover' bc there's no 'before' or version of me without these issues so fuck off <3
Writing Characters With Eating Disorders
In general, I haven’t seen many people write characters suffering from eating disorders, especially characters with eating disorders that are written well and aren’t simply stereotypes. Obvious disclaimer that I’m speaking as one person recovering from an eating disorder (EDNOS, or Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified), and this post won’t apply to everyone with an eating disorder–there is a lot of variance in people suffering from eating disorders.
(Continued beneath the cut; I’ve bolded important information and the titles of sections, so feel free to skim for what seems relevant to your character. TW for people triggered by the mention or description of eating disorders/disordered behaviours.)
