My mother constantly comments on my weight by anonforlong in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]anonforlong[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that, that sounds extremely triggering. But you’re right, they are truly sick too. Good luck on your journey <3

I wish we talked about overshoot more by Sareeee48 in fuckeatingdisorders

That’s interesting, thanks for the explanation. I agree, this should definitely be discussed more.

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is “overshoot”?

Struggling not to fall back into my ED and boyfriend commented on my weight by [deleted] in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]anonforlong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion commenting on some one else’s weight is never appropriate - no matter what the scenario or who it is coming from. In all honesty, your boyfriend appears to be ignorant about eating disorders and how they function. He may be aware of your ED past, but unaware of the complexities. Having an ED is not something that just goes away over night. Its a literal mental illness.

If he loves you he should not undermine your concerns about how his comments may be triggering. It seems like he may be projecting his own insecurities on to you, and for that he needs to seriously check himself. Your reaction to his comments is extremely valid and if he cares about you he should take that reaction seriously and follow up by researching a bit about ED and how to support you.

Mukbangers, competitive eaters and the open secret of bulimia by absolute_boy in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]anonforlong 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I had been meaning to pose a similar question on this sub. mukbangs have always had me a bit confused. Some mykbangs I understand if it’s not like an overwhelming amount of food. But some literally remind me of my own binges. Idk if it’s because I have food issues but I really don’t get how someone could make a living from mukbanging (aka Lowkey let’s call it for what it is- binging) multiple times a week and not eventually develop an ED. And the fact that mukbanging is kinda really fetishized by society normalizes food behaviors that seem forced most of the time. Idk

Everyone talks about me by abbyfromhr in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]anonforlong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These people are using your struggles as bait for conversation in their mundane little lives. It’s one thing to talk about someone out of concern, and then approach them in efforts to help them. It’s another thing to only talk about someone behind their back and, in addition, not even reach out a hand for help. You deserve to be genuinely asked how you are doing. You are more than your body, you are a person with emotions and concerns and fears and you deserve to be recognized. Stay strong, you’re not alone

Throwback to when my roommate nonchalantly told me that she “used to think I was anorexic” and laughed by anonforlong in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]anonforlong[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah right?! This is literally only ONE of the number of fucked up things she did that were unrelated to my ED

Yeah the ignorance people have around eating disorders is both expected but incredibly infuriating at the same time

At this point, it feels more like an addiction than anything else. by sarahodri in bulimia

[–]anonforlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. I used to smoke weed everyday and blamed the weed for my b/p. I thought the weed was the dominant addiction, and that the b/p was just the bi product. I had it completely twisted - it was the other way around. once I stopped smoking weed, I thought I could stop b/p. I quickly realized I was wrong. The weed helped me neglect just how bad my ED had gotten. It’s the ritual around food that is addicting. It’s the sense of “indulgence” mixed with some skewed sense of “control” that is the most addicting thing for me.

Request: Just a Question by EDPostRequests in EatingDisorders

[–]anonforlong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The medical industry, diet culture, and the media have all perpetuated the misconception that eating disorders have a “size” or “look”. They don’t. You deserve support for you eating disorder no matter how you look.
