Eating Disorders

It’s taken me a long time to write about this topic because I’m not an eating disorder specialist or clinician.

Fat shaming and skinny shaming are harmful. We need to stop allowing the media to pit plus size and thin women against one another.

Fat shaming doesn’t have any positive outcomes, but it has plenty of negative ones. A study found that fat shaming leads to eating disorders for some girls.

Without even thinking, I went over to the trashcan. Fortunately, the trash was piled pretty high. This is my struggle with obsessive overeating.​

There are aspects of the disorders we have fought so hard to overcome that will show themselves again. Dietary changes can trigger your eating disorder.

I’ve never been a fan of eating disorder recovery Before-and-After photos. I don’t find it healthy or helpful to compare and appraise the shapes and sizes of bodies.

Is everyone so deeply entrenched in diet culture that we don’t even hear ourselves anymore?

We could risk the mental and physical health of all the girls in the school by using fat shaming to try to control the way that they dress, or we could just let them wear some damn leggings. Seriously, how is this not a no brainer?
