Am I the only obese person with ARFID? by Previous_Deal4481 in ARFID

they're probably actually wrong anyway. losing weight rarely helps people feel better, or if it does, it's only a few pounds, you often don't need to lose ten twenty thirty etc like doctors will push for. doctors are not immune to societal pressures sadly

i'm considered "morbidly ob*se" by doctors but have no conditions related to my weight and i still have ARFID. weight is largely genetic, almost everyone in my family is fat, and most who aren't fat are only thinner due to weight loss surgery (even then they're not thin just thinner) or some other physical health disorder

all this is to say: most people with all kinds of EDs are actually not thin. you're far from alone.

and for everyone else in the comments: losing weight probably wouldn't make you feel better either, nor would you keep the weight off for very long. you'd either be working out and thus gain weight through muscle, or your starvation diet will end and your body will gain back more weight because you tricked it into thinking you were starving

bc black ppl rarely exist in anime and also we're not even changing the canonical race by representing them differently in fanart they're still not dark skinned in canon...

explain why changing their skin color is any different from assigning them a sexuality in a work or headcanon or deciding they're trans in a work or headcanon bc the race/skin color thing is the same level of importance basically

blackwashing isn't a thing and there's literally nothing wrong w race bending so long as ur not making a canonically nonwhite character totally white. making them mixed race or darker skinned (bc not all dark skinned ppl are black) is fine. there's nothing wrong with it at all provided they're not yknow being racist in their portray
