tmi but I wish I had an ana coach to be strict with me and give me consequences if i don't do what I'm told

[inkskinned]

im gonna start a fight; and, at the same time, i need you to take this in the most good-faith way possible, but:

videos that involve body-checking and intentionally (and uncritically) show a mealplan of an unhealthy number of calories are just a revamped version of pro-ana food diaries.

and yeah, i know there's arguments. i address some of them under the cut. but at the end of the day, we're just coming back to romanticizing mental illness; we've just found a better platform for it.

this is already something we've done. we knew it was wrong and tried to stop it. and tbh. it just wasn't enough.

there are people who argue "well, what if you have an eating disorder, you can't help it if you don't eat!" except that as someone with an ED; we are not infants. we know what we're doing. part of having an ED is that you are like, maybe too self-aware. even if we can't help our own food choices, we don't need to fucking romanticize the disorder - something we've been warning you about since 2013. there are hours of setup, filming, and editing that go into these videos. they do not happen to fall into place randomly. there is a reason they are pieced together to be beautiful, bright, inspiring.

there's this woman who pretty much only posts daily plans under a normal amount of calories, and everyone defends her saying but it's better than nothing! and i'm like. except she opens those with images of her showing off her body and provides no context in the video or caption that suggests that she believes what she's doing is unhealthy. she has hundreds of thousands of followers on a platform designed for young kids and teens. i refuse to believe that by accident her content just happens to be cheery advice on "healthy" versions of starving.

for any other symptom of mental illness, we would be incredibly enraged by this kind of placid acceptance of a "tips and tricks" fast-start guide. imagine if people posted pink & pretty videos saying "best places to cut yourself" as if it was a fucking storytime. we, as a society, are so fucking fatphobic that we would rather accept blatantly harmful displays of self harm than admit that we are obsessed with a hyper-thin body type.

i am not suggesting someone never talks about their disorder. i talk about mine. actually, it's a plot point in my book.

here's the difference: i recognize it's a fucking mental illness. i am very careful to never mention a specific weight, eating pattern, or calorie plan. i always make sure to position it as something that ruined my fucking life. i do not put cheery music in the background and hearts and sparkles over my worst moments. i do not film it in bright light. i do not start each passage with an image of a thin body followed by "here's how to look like her."

eating disorders should not be framed as aspirational. and the problem is that society worships the "after" image, so long as you don't get too sick. there is a reason so many people who quit being "influencers" will later admit - i wasn't eating well that whole time; an obsession with food was completely destroying my life.

we let any uncredited, uncertified person write the most backwards, fucked up shit about how to get the body you desire! because the underlying, secret belief is: well, at least they're thin! and the real thing that fucking gets me each time - they make fucking money off of it. their irresponsibility and societal harm literally pays off for them.

"why do you care so much." "don't like it don't look." "so what if people experiment with new ways of thinking of food?"

thank you for asking. we're about to get extremely personal. it's because when i was 18 i discovered "thinspiration"/"thinspo." and it absolutely influenced, shaped, and codified my pre-existing eating disorder. i went from having some troubling habits and traits to being incredibly unwell within what felt like a matter of days. there were actual pages designed to train me on how to have an ED correctly. it was all so suddenly easy. i was sick; and the nature of the illness meant - i wanted to be sicker.

it takes an average of 7 years for a person to fully recover. i know this personally - even now, 10 years from the worst of it, i still fucking struggle. i am so much happier now and i eat what i want and i literally don't think about food at all (19 year old me would shudder) and yet - i still fucking know the calories of plain toast with butter.

an eating disorder is one of the deadliest types of mental illness. over 1 in 4 people with an ED will attempt suicide.

and i'm sorry. i just do not see the exchange rate of "high rate of engagement" versus "the value of a human life."

hello! I've been seeing this new return to dream land/ merry magoland Kirby manga around, but I can't find any details. Would you happen to know anything about it?

Thanks in advance! I'd really like to know what it's called.

Based on the style, it looks like Hoshi no Kirby ~ Yurutto Pupupu, which is another (…) gag manga made up of VERY short chapters (4-8 pages) released on a monthly basis in Young Girl’s Magazine, Ciao.

While the monthly manga is published in black and white, the volume releases are in color. They are also (as far as I’m aware) PHYSICAL ONLY meaning you can’t buy them online without importing the book.

I’ve read several chapters of it and while it’s cute, I can assure you that most of the content is going to be short and silly gags and word puns (so many puns…) that poke light-hearted fun at the story rather than an attempt a serious adaptation of any of the games

…Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Just that you aren’t missing all that much imo?

[vamp33veela]

it's crazy to think not everyone in the world has an E.D.

like wdym you have a healthy relationship with food and don't think about your body 24/7 ???

[borntobebones]

[zeravmeta]

yeah yeah cannibalism as a devotion metaphor but like im trying to cut back on the red and fatty meats yknow dont you think a salad would be nice every once in a while

[am-i-even-really-heree]

okkkkk so Im not looking for like an ana coach exactly but maybe something similar?

to be clear I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A DOM

I just want someone to share my calorie intake with at the end of the day, my plans for the next day, give me praise/ encouragement when I'm lower than my budget, tell me gently to do better if I get to close to/ over my budget, and give me honest feed back about my intake (tell me when I ate too much, give me encouragement to do better, call me out when I'm slacking/ not doing enough)

I don't want someone who's gonna bully me the way I bully myself, just someone to hold me accountable. I feel like I disappoint myself all the time so for the past five days when I've went over my budget it didnt feel like anything new. anything too bad. I really just need someone to hold me accountable but like in a friend way? idk how to describe it, I do not want this to be sexual, don't be too harsh, I WILL NOT SEND BODY CHECKS, I mostly want someone who will talk me out of eating when I have the urge to do it unnecessarily

rules? guidelines? idk 😭

THIS IS NOT SEXUAL. anyone looking for a Dom/ sub dynamic, your not gonna get that here, and that is a very strict and firm boundary. you will be blocked if u make things sexual

I'll tell you outright when I want meanspo but don't give it if I don't ask for it. too much just discourages me

I want someone to talk me out of eating in an encouraging way ("youve been doing so good today, why ruin it?" etc.)

maybe share thinspø? not too sure about that one yet

def wanna share tips tho

like I said before no body checks

I have to eat at least 300 calories a day/ 2-3 times a day cuz parents -_- (1 light breakfast, 1 "proper" dinner {proper is a loose term here sometimes I can get away with less and sometimes I can't yk} and a lunch if I'm not feeling well/ my body needs it)

I have to eat enough so that I'm not throwing up/ passing out at work

I can't purge (also cuz parents)

I want someone I have to notify when and what I'm eating

maybe someone to share my meal plans with idk tho cuz my meal plans are not firm and there is room for change but I do like to stick to around the same number as what's planned and I don't always plan what I'm eating in advance so we'll see

ummmm idrk how to put this but I don't want it to be a mutual thing? I'm not really comfortable giving other ppl the feedback I'm asking for

I'll share my steps/ burned calories if I tracked it but I usually dont

I'll add any if I think of more/ tell you as it comes up what I like and don't like

listen, I don't like the idea of an ana coach 😭 I think the concept is fucked up but like I feel like it's what I need to stay in track right now

I AM PRO RECOVERY!!!!

anywayyy dm me if ur interested?

either we need another word, or we need to accept as a society that if it has the sugar content of a can of soda and flavor to match, it's not a "mocktail"
