#this is normal
it’s weird when i step outside of my firmly anti-diet social circle and hear a person talking about doing some pretty severe calorie restriction as if that’s totally normal. like how the fuck do i even begin explaining to someone i barely know that eating only 1300 calories a day is extremely bad for you and that basically everything they think they know about nutrition is false.
the average thin person is so afraid of becoming fat that they’ll do things which are extremely bad for them on every level with zero upsides (calorie restriction is even likely to cause future weight gain!) and this is completely normalized in mainstream culture. anti-fat discrimination is so deeply ingrained in the systems of our society and it’s so fucked.
Its like, totally normal to assume every unnamed phonecall and voicemail you get is the elders trying to contact you. Even after you blocked them once. It’s normal
Any unknown and unexpected communications like ‘totally normal to be scared of opening this! Everyone has this response. Obviously this is absolutely a normal response!’
