#disordered eating t.

[sniffanimal]

as eating disorder awareness week comes to an end, I want to talk about disordered eating habits that ARENT eating disorders (probably), but you should still pay attention to them.

obligatory I'm not an expert or anything I just have been in ED recovery for ARFID off and in since 2017

I would consider myself "recovered" right now, I don't struggle with new foods and can generally eat whatever I try to eat. But I do fall into bad habits that don't support my recovery, and I know a lot of them are really common. I talked about it with my psychiatrist today.

If you find that you're often brain foggy, out of it, can't focus despite being medicated, or doing everything in your Coping Toolbox: it might be your diet. And I'm not here to ascribe morality to any food: merely point out that your brain needs energy to function. If you, like me, tend to be a "coffee for breakfast and then maybe a snack and then a reasonable dinner" eater, you might not really realize that you're restricting your food intake.

Your brain uses 20% of the body's energy intake. Recent studies suggest 2/3 of that is for the basic functions of the nervous system. Low blood sugar, even if you're not diabetic, can cause significant cognitive functioning issues.

I am definitely including myself when I say I see a lot of us complaining of fatigue and fog when we aren't giving our bodies enough energy to work properly.

So even if you are subclinical for an eating disorder, or are in recovery, or whatever, pay attention to your eating habits and maybe try a protein bar or candy or a banana or something solid with your coffee like toast. Try to eat multiple times a day, at least 3.

I'm not a nutritionist, I think a lot of nutritional studies can be misleading, and I think food is morality neutral. Eat what you can, when you can, just be sure to take care of your brain.

if it helps I think of myself like a pet I got to take care of

Jiaoqiu x gn!reader- 16

summary- you've started to skip meals, and avoid anything to do with food. Jiaoqiu had started to catch one. t/w- Eating disorder (reader) below the tag A/n- I'm very sorry if anything in this anything is wrong or rude in a way, please DM or comment if you want something changed ❤️

Jiaoqiu had noticed something about you since you'd first gotten together. You avoided eating, you skipped meals and you always made sure your knew what was in your food. He'd found it strange how you did all these things, but he'd eventually put the pieces together.

He started to become increasingly worried ever since he figured it out. He always made sure you at least had one meal a day. You could see what he was doing and tried to assure him that you were perfectly fine.

"Y/n, are you feeling okay? You've hardly touched your food. It's your favourite right?" You could see concern etched onto his face.

"Oh yeah. Just not feeling it tonight."

"Is it too spicy?"

"No no it's great, I'm just feeling a bit sick tonight."

"Would you like to go lay down?"

You nodded at his suggestion. Your body moved slowly and your eyes dropped as you walked. All you'd had today was water, but you couldn't tell him that could you? He'd start to fuss over you again like he always did.

Soon after he'd washed up he'd come to check on you. He placed his hand over your forehead to check your temperature.

"You don't have a fever. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah." You grumbled.

"I know you're not, please talk to me." He sat on the edge of the bed and ran his fingers through your hair.

"I am fine."

"Y/n. This isn't okay, you're not eating anymore."

"I am eating!"

"What did you eat today?"

All you could do was stay silent, you couldn't tell him you hadn't eaten! Tears started to fall down your face. You didn't know what to do anymore.

"Please." His voice cracked.

He lay down and wrapped his arms around you. Jiaoqiu didn't know what to do. The best he could do was hold you.

"Talk to me when you're ready."

You sniffled in his arms "Yeah okay."

there are two types of neurodivergent kids in school:

1. sees class has already started, mortified by the thought of walking in front of people, fails at psyching themself up, goes outside, sits next to a dumpster for six hours, goes home, changes colleges, never goes back again

or

2. sees that no one is sitting on table, immediately sits on table, becomes friends with a guy called swaz who appreciates their table power move, embraces status as the Weird Kid

I was walking around my apartment today and walked past my mirror but I stopped and really looked at myself. I had a glimpse of happiness and the feeling of being proud at how my face is slimming and my body is getting smaller. But I had to quickly remind myself not to get carried away because I can’t be too happy or else I will mess up and binge back to my highest weight. There is still work to be done.

listen i cant control whether or not people take my extremely old and made with good intentions but not entirely absolved from criticism transmasc workout post and use it as fucking th*nspo, but the least you can do is not tag me or mention me. i am blocking you, regardless of whether or not youre a child. i dont want to be associated with you or your community, especially as someone who has engaged in disordered eating and who has also gotten out of that. idc who you are, and I can't control your actions nor do I care to emotionally involve myself to, but don't associate me with what you're doing.

o necessário para que eu emagreça é a ingestão de, no máximo, 1200kal diárias (isso de acordo com minha altura, peso, rotina). ultimamente estou evitando chegar a 1000kal.

se os cálculos recomendam isso para que eu emagreça, eu acho que reduzir vai dar um resultado ainda maior e mais rápido. juntando café da manhã, almoço e lanche da tarde foram 736kal ingeridas e irei parar por aqui. foi o suficiente para me manter de pé (eu vou caminhando para o trabalho todos os dias e minha carga horária é de 8hrs).

estou me sentindo muito vitoriosa ultimamente. não costumo ter compulsão, mas sempre como até me sentir 100% cheia e isso nunca mais aconteceu. tenho comido apenas o suficiente para me sentir bem e está sendo maravilhoso ver os resultados.

apesar de já ter visto o número 43kg na balança, vou colocar na bio apenas quando ele estabilizar. enquanto estiver oscilando com o 44kg não considerarei uma vitória.

Sigh part two cuz I did it again (tw again obviously)

my last post (the vent turning into yuri where I vent through cartoon character) was unfinished so I'm making another. Right now we left off on zooble trying to get Gangle to confess what was up with her. Ok guys :3

Gangle shifted uncomfortably in their arms. She really didn't want to talk, but zooble kept pushing.

Zooble: "Gangle?"

Gangle: "... Yeah?.."

Zooble: "You know you can tell me anything, right? We're literally dating and I want you to feel comfortable telling me anything."

Gangle: "Some things go better unspoken of..."

Zooble: "Not with me. I'm right here for when you're ready to talk... Are you ready yet?"

Gangle:."You won't judge me or get angry?"

Zooble: "I promise I wont."

Gangle sighed. This was a hard conversation to have with anyone. Especially when (worst case scenario) it could end in the two breaking up. It was just a thought though. But it still bothered Gangle that that may be a possibility.

Gangle: "I.. Ugh... I have this.. Thing..."

Zooble: "Go on.."

Gangle: "I- ugh!- I force myself to throw up! Ok?!"

Gangles body language changed. She was grabbing zoobles wrist tightly now. It was mostly to keep her grounded and comfortable. Zoobles face looked.. Concerned to say the least. They gently took her hand off of their wrist, having a lot to say.

Zooble: "Gangle. That's unhealthy. You can't do that anymore. That's really bad. That's an eating disorder. You need to stop. I- Why would you-? Why would you do that? That's honestly the stupidest thing you've ever done! You- Gangle I'm really ma- upset. I'm upset at you. Why did you do that?"

Gangle: "I.. I just..- I wanted to like.. I don't know.. I feel guilty when I eat.. Its hard to explain..!"

Zooble: "... You know.. you're beautiful. You really are. Don't do this to yourself."

Beautiful was a strong word. It could be used to describe many things. Scenery, a painting, a person, but Gangle felt the word didn't fit her. She isn't the type of person you would imagine when you imagine 'beautiful'. She was ribbons and a mask.

Gangle: "No I'm not zooble. Dont lie to me just to make me feel better."

Gangle had a serious tone. Her voice was different when she was serious.

Zooble: "Gangle."

They grabbed her 'waist' and pulled her against them. She was surprised.

Zooble: "You're beautiful."

Gangle: "But i-!"

Zooble: "You're beautiful."

Gangle: "Zooble i-!"

Zooble: "You're beautiful. You can't change my mind."

Gangle: "... Frick you..."

Zooble would have been smiling if they didn't lack a mouth. Gangle relaxed into their arms. Her favorite place. Zooble leaned down and whispered into where her ear would be.

Zooble: "You're beautiful.."

Gangle wasn't good with compliments, especially how to respond to them, but she really did appreciate it.

Ok guys I'm done cuz I'm tired so enjpy this stuff ig uh I might be getting that seasonal depression again :3 it comes when school starts :(

Nearly passed out as soon as I sat down so I figured I was gonna go to bed right after reheating some food even tho it's only 6. But uh. I ate something and suddenly I have energy. So this is our reminder that sometimes you're tired, but sometimes you're also just so fucking hungry
