[fatphobiabusters]

I keep yo-yo dieting as early as age 12. Currently in my mid 20s. The lowest weight I even been is 180. Highest was somewhere in the 200-mid 200s.

And ughhhhh I’m so tired. I’m so tired of the anxiety about food and weight. I keep having periods where I love my body and eat anything I want, but then anytime I accidentally overeat and feel nauseous, I come crashing back down and feel so gross.

It majorly dosnt help that half of my family are fat phobic and food obsession health. Like, a family member literally said multiple times I should get a ED to help me lose weight……Since I can’t metaphorically leave my house, I’m stuck….:idk what to do? It feels like I’m trap in a never ending circle.

This isn't an easy situation, and I bet a lot of people are in this boat with you. I wish your family would listen to your feelings and treat you with compassion. Nobody, including you, should be encouraged to develop an eating disorder, let alone by a member of their own family. You deserve to live a life that doesn't involve being told to abuse your body into temporary thinness.

Fatphobic family members definitely make life as a fat person harder, and that's often elevated during the holidays. Here's some coping mechanisms you can try to help you while interacting with your family:

Find a space you can go to by yourself to cool down while dealing with fatphobic family members. Maybe that's sitting on a porch, taking a walk outside, or even hanging out in your room. Having stuff with you to help you destress while you're cooling down can also be beneficial. This could be headphones for listening to music, a sketchbook for drawing, a stim toy, etc.

If this is a temporary situation, like being at a family member's house for dinner, and you're also with somebody you trust, make a plan with that person for when family members bring up diet culture. A secret word, a tap on the shoulder, a text to their phone that let's them know you want to leave/change the conversation. Even just knowing you have somebody there with you who understands how you're feeling can be helpful.

You can try to change the subject when your family starts talking about weight. You can also do this subtly if you need to by switching to a topic somewhat related to the original conversation. For example, if somebody is talking about exercising in a diet culture manner, you could ask if they go on walks and where their favorite place to walk is. If somebody is talking about their diet recipes, start talking about a new recipe you've tried recently that your family members "have to try." If a family member says they've gained or lost weight, ask them what else has been happening in their life. And if changing the subject doesn't work, there's hopefully the options of putting on headphones or leaving the space.

Surround yourself with as much fat positivity as you can. That's easier said than done, but even a few fat positive posts may help you turn around a bad day. You could also try creating some of your own fat positive posts/works, if that sounds fun to you.

If this is possible, you can set goals for what you need to do to leave your family home and live away from your family. Mark those goals on a piece of paper so you can check them off. Every time you get closer to your goal of living away from your family, that progress will likely help you have the strength to deal with your family members for the time being. These goals can be saving a certain amount of money, finishing the next semester of school, finding a better job, etc.

These are just a few ideas off the top of my head. Any followers who also have tips, please let us know in the notes.

As for accidentally overeating and feeling nauseous, I relate to that not being a great feeling. Try to ride out that feeling of discomfort. Tell yourself that the feeling will pass whether you act on that feeling or not. As somebody who knows a lot about OCD recovery, you have to teach yourself to sit with the discomfort (or the uncertainty, in the case of OCD) and let that discomfort pass. It will take time to get better at this, but you deserve food no matter what.

UPDATE: CURRENTLY ON HIATUS

Hi everyone! My name is Sebastian and I’m the creator of this AU! (Ask-depressed-Wally).

Basically this is a little update, I’m going to be on hiatus! Probably will be a while, but I’m hopeful that around mid-February I’ll be able to come back! Though that still up in the air…

I actually deal with a lot of burnout, so much that my doctor wants me to only focus on 1 story at a time. ( ^-^ eeshhh! ) so fanfic and AU are going on the back burner while I focus on my original character and stories!

Also because of IRL stuff, I need to focus on + mental health issues also plays into a factor. I’ll still be active on my main blog (cutepastelstarsailor) but it’s more of me reblogging fanart….

I don’t want to abandon this AU or blog! I love welcome home, and I know that this little AU is important to both me and to others. I want to finish this AU and be satisfied with it!!!

I hope you guys don’t mind! You guys can still send in ask or just say hi, I’ll just won’t be able to respond for a bit!

Stay safe! Love you!! :) <3

I’m the one who cam up with the Luther getting. Music by fans; Luther also mentions that he likes poetry too, and the fans like freak out and sent he like so much poetry.. a month goes by and Luther notices that his siblings are high key jealous that he’s getting gifs by fans. So Luther not so suddenly mentions thing his siblings like so that way. And the fan like know what Luther doing but then sent him gifs. And Luther is like :3 yay gifs for my sibs

Dude!!! You can draw AND writing super well???? I’m on chapter 7 we’re raph meet that weird dream dragon thing and I LOVE how the art looks?? What art program do you use? Do you have any art tips, or any more writings ones?

<3 <3 you’re totally an inspiration

Awwww thank you so much!! I’m so glad you like the Red Giant art it was so much fun to draw <3

Historically all my digital art has been done using a Wacom tablet and the free art program Krita, but lately all my art for ROTTMNT has been done on Procreate on my iPad! And honestly my tips are just, abuse the HELL out of references, let yourself be fast and loose with your sketches, and when it comes to coloring, blending modes are your best friend. Color Dodge/Add/Overlay my beloveds <3 my partner complimented me recently on my Glowy Effects and that is literally just me attacking my base layers with the Soft Airbrush and then seeing what happens when I use Gaussian Blur and blending modes

as for writing tips I guess the main one is just to write, write, write like your life depends on it, remember you can always edit later but only if the words exist in the first place, and just? Have fun? ESP with fic like. Yes please use correct punctuation and PARAGRAPH BREAKS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD because otherwise it can get unbearable to read but for the creative side? Go stupid go crazy, throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks, we’re all here to have a good time (and just because someone else wrote a similar idea shouldn’t mean you should hold back, just look at the Peepaw Multiverse)

Look at the authors you enjoy, try and see what they do that makes their writing click and flow nicely for you, test out different formatting and tense styles and POV! My writing style is all over the place I just abuse hyphens and em-dashes and occasionally a masterpiece occurs xD

Thank you so much for this kind ask it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside 💕

[punkeropercyjackson]

This is my take away from you’re Percy Jackson post/pos

Monoracial actually but YES CORRECT

[punkeropercyjackson]

Summer……teddy……all your cool Jason and Percy and miles stuff…you should make a fanfic or a roleplay for it/gen

@laiosynth is writing a fic for it actually!!!!Stay tuned :3

[punkeropercyjackson]

For the inbox reblog game

Ughhhhhh I would like to know your favorite video game and any information you have on either dragons or fashion :3

Okay!!!

Animal Crossing <3

My dragon knowledge is TOO DAMN BIG as a dragonkin but for fashion i can tell you that punk clothes are largely diy'd or bought at thrift stores and is meant to stand out regardless of what particular type of punk it is :] Me and my edgified Mabel Pines lookin' closet LMFAOOOOO
