Tw Anorexia - Tumblr Posts

i've recognised a pattern in fics.

i was looking for fics about eating disorders, specifically binge eating disorder, to make me feel a bit better about mine.

all i found, were; anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. maybe one or two on binge eating disorder.

we need to recognise that anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa isn't 'cooler' than binge eating disorder.

being skinny isn't 'cooler' than being overweight.

i mean no hate to people with anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, i'm saying that in fics they are more popular, because in these two disorders you're underweight and skinny, because apparently in our fucked up society they can't compute that it is completely fine to be overweight.

gladly, i have seen more fics on binge eating disorder, but the ratio of fics on binge eating disorder compared to anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, is very much uneven.

this is not on anyone who has is, this is on our fucked up society for putting in peoples brains that, skinny= good, overweight = bad.

this is not right in any way, shape or form, whatsoever

i mean no offence to skinny people, whatsoever.

normalise binge eating disorder, normalise being overweight, normalise thick thighs, normalise *beautiful* stretch marks, normalise soft stomachs.

normalise binge eating disorder

thoughts on pro-ana? (gathering data for a paper/report)

awful and dangerous. i hope everyone in those circles will someday get the help they need, and that all the people they hurt—because pro-ana spaces hurt people uninvolved in them, too, for example people whose personal photos are used as "fatspo"—will also find healing.

yesterday i successfully fasted, i only ate a low-calorie dinner, i'm so proud of myself!

sometimes i check on eugenia cooney just to see if she’s still alive but this time it’s making me think.

i wouldn’t ever call myself anorexic but i’ve always struggled with food, and i’ve always had that fear of weight and hate of my body.

i’ve never been anorexic but i’ve had periods of my life where i’ve restricted what i eat, and where i know i wouldn’t have had the willpower to not eat i’ve avoided it in other ways like sleeping all day so i don’t have the chance to.

i wouldn’t say i’m anorexic but watching her makes me feel cheated. i’ve still had all the same trauma, i’ve still tried all the same things, but i’ve never had anything to show for it. i’ve never been thin. no matter what i did, however much i hated myself, my body never gave me what i wanted. i genuinely feel cheated out of it, all the pain i experienced only for my body to refuse to comply.

i’m not saying i want to be anorexic. i’m not saying i wish i was like her. i know it’s unhealthy and i know thinness isn’t everything, but i’ve always been so painfully aware of how differently people treat me for my size. i don’t wanna be thin, i just wanna be human.
