"eating disorders" encompasses more than just anorexia and bulimia!! Binge eating, ARFID, EDNOS, orthorexia, muscle dysmorphia, pica, and exercise addiction are just as real and worthy of recognition and treatment!

If Only I Could
If only I could starve myself the way my mother does
Depriving me of food, affection, and patience
Making me feel more hollow then I actually look
If only I could be that hollow
I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago
It's been 3 months since my last visit
4 weeks since my mother had lost the money to buy food
3 weeks since I had started basically starving myself
I walk in and see the scale immediately
All I can think and wonder if if I'm to heavy for such a small thing
Nonetheless the nurse tells me to get on the scale anyway
If only I could have disappeared that moment
Because I felt lifeless waiting to see those numbers
Expecting what id recently seen
Until it reads 295 lbs
15 pounds in 3 weeks
Id dropped 15 pounds in 3 weeks
I was ecstatic, proud even
Even though I knew the means I used to get there
Those 3 weeks were easy enough
When you don't have food
And no other options
Not eating is so easy
So easy in fact that I didn't feel it after awhile
The pain of starving delved into a dull ache
So bearable that I barely drank water too
I was proud
But my mother got food
It took a month but she scrounged the money to add to what little food we had
Now I'm eating again
And the guilt is dripping off me with every bite
I'm consuming like I'm a void
No matter how full I feel, how full I look
My gullet is stuffed more and more
If only I could stop
That gratification from starving
And the guilt from eating
A swirling void in my head that felt endless either way
I wish I could stop eating
If only I could starve myself like my mother does
Skipping meals, drinking barely water and mostly teas
Running nonstop through the day, chewing gum in replacement
My mother's lost over 100 pounds in the past year
She is basically starved
Going from a little under 300 to 190
I wish I could use her example
But I keep stuffing my face
Like I've been in a desert for weeks
I miss starving even if it was never enough
It was always 'I wish I could eat a little less"
I wish I couldn't eat
I wish my reflexes would shut down and my mouth would be sown shut
I wish I lost a little more weight
If only I could grant wishes
If only I could starve myself like I used too
If only I could stop
Stop consuming
God If only I could
( I don't think people like to talk about people who physically can't control themselves around food, who eat and eat and wish they couldn't. I wish people would talk about it more. Also hey everyone I've been gone for awhile but I'm still kicking.)

Do u guys think that TKB being ripped in comparison to his reincarnation Ryou "Resembles a starved dandelion fluff" Bakura implies that A: Ryou could, in fact, be shredded if he wasn't the most unhealthy teenager known to mankind, or that B: TKB hated being a twink so much that part of his shadow-magic-y dealings with Zorc involved pumping his starving-street-urchin 5'6 body full of shadow magic steroids to give him pectorals for once in his life.

any jason headcanons you enjoy?
oh this is a fun question, thank you <3
some of these are going to be more widely accepted fanon, i think, but! ^^;
smallest robin turned largest robin. (i actually think for size it goes jason > dick > tim > damian > steph. i also like the idea that as red hood he's taller than bruce, but bruce is broader/heavier.)
ik canonically he didn't join the school's theater/drama club bc of robin commitments, but in my head he was still part of a group <3 maybe they had a city one during the summer? idk
i also think he was starting to get involved with the martha wayne foundation before he died.
alfred & he are close. ik canonically alfred tends to be a lot more victim blame-y with jason (as all of them are) but i think that entire retcon was stupid so <3
he can cook and cook well!
related: he also stress bakes. and cooks, too. also a stress cleaner. actually, just in general, i think he responds to stress with action. anything that feels "useful" or "helpful"--so feeding people, maintaining weapons/armor, cleaning up a space, etc.
very neat, and meticulous about his space. like, he might have a few things lying around that are "in use" but for the most part everything has a spot.
phobia of needles! it was worse when he was robin, but as an adult he's worked on it & learned how to manage it. however, in times of high stress it shows back up. and he's not good with any kind of unexpected need for shots.
i saw something somewhere about jason having multiple copies of books--not necessarily editions (though def that too) but like... one to put on display & one he can annotate/dog-ear/mark up/etc as h pleases. which i like a lot!
also inspired by something else--this time a piece of art, i think for something set in the batman beyond universe--but. i think he develops hearing problems, and maybe even already has? (actually; on that subject, i think he probably has tinnitus now, and maybe develops hearing loss as he gets older.) [updating with a link to the art]
good with kids. that one might just be canon xD
does a lot of volunteer work when he's not vigilante-ing. he does work with various places, but i think one of his favorites is like, storytime with kids at a library, or something.
i go back & forth between "jason is warmer" and "jason is colder" post-resurrection, and i think i like to stick with somewhere in the middle---he gives off a lot of heat, but has a harder time retaining. so even tho he feels warm to everyone else, he's still cold.
not really a headcanon, but. white streak + autopsy scar is peak jason design~
& i'll stop there bc this is getting p long!

11 weeks 'til surgery!
After putting on a bit of weight, I'm back down 3.3kg and 4% body fat in two weeks. 10.9kg away from my target. I don't think I've ever wanted something more in my entire life.

So, I discovered some tiny stretch marks on my thighs recently, and I was genuinely worried about body dysmorphia coming into play or something stupid and unfun like that- but NOPE. I felt so delighted, I started making sure I didn't miss any.
