#orthorexia
Would you guys like it if I started posting what I eat in day? Like pictures of the food I’m eating and the calories ??
The FBI agent watching me on my computer google ‘how many calories does ….. have’ for the 59263th time.
lately i’ve just been switching between “fuck it, i’ll just binge 24/7 and if i get fat i get fat” to “i need to be skinny immediately i’m only allowed to have 10 calories a day” to “i just have to eat a normal amount and eat super healthy foods” and my head hurts :))
Chronic Dieting: The Socially Acceptable Eating Disorder
It is so easy these days to hide an eating disorder behind the guise of “healthy living” or a passion for health food and exercise. Actually, most people with eating disorders hide the eating disorders from themselves under the guise of healthy living. Yep! Most people with eating disorders don’t even know they have eating disorders until they are way into the disorder.
Forming a healthy relationship with food is so important and so difficult. If you are interested in reading more about our relationship with eating, The Fat Nutritionist is a great resource.

you may write “I do not promote this lifestyle” in your bio, but that doesn’t mean shit.
You’re sharing “tips” and therefore encouraging an illness.
I understand the need to vent and I understand that once you are so far into the eating disorder , it consumes you and it is damn near impossible to want to look after your mind and your body. You don’t want to look after them.
But here’s the thing:
-sharing “techniques” does encourage the illness
-anorexia and bulimia and other eating disorders are illnesses
-you’re damaging yourself and whoever is reading those “tips”
Just wanna clear something up…
Recovering from an eating disorder is NOT synonymous with “getting fit.”
Recovery is about loving yourself for more than your body, not finding a “healthier” way to “perfect” your body.
