Can we fucking talk about this for a second?

Can we really?

Because this shit right here was the EXACT. SAME. REACTION that I fucking got when I was recovering from my eating disorder.

Folks ENCOURAGED ME TO STARVE MYSELF when I was losing so much weight.

ENCOURAGED ME.

And had nothing but mumbles for me when I called them out on that bullshit years later.

Because we really do not fucking care HOW you got skinny. Just as long as you got skinny and stayed there.

We don’t give no fuck about health. We give a fuck about how fuckable you look to mainstream.

So your ass could have damn near died, but it don’t matter doe, cuz you can fit into a size 6 now.

Concern trolls and thinspo mothafuckers can forever miss me with that bullshit

That’s an important point. When a fat person has an eating disorder, we say they’re making a ‘lifestyle change’. And it’s so dangerous.

If any of those so concerned with my health actually were, they wouldn’t have encouraged me to lose weight at literally any cost.

It is heartbreaking how many of my fat and ‘inbetweenie’ friends have suffered with this, or otherwise harmed their bodies through dieting or weight loss surgery and were supported in it by friends and family.
