Ed & Izzy on the sidelines as Stede runs off to duel a master swordsman after training with them, knowing full well that all they did during their respective training sessions was take the opportunity to slap his ass:

I don't know who needs to hear this but I just wanna let the disabled community know, It's okay Not to finish tasks. I started cleaning my room today and didn't even get a 16th of the way done before it started to hurt. But now I can open my door. Stop hurting yourself to get things done. It's counterproductive.

the owl house was really like oh yeah by the way a significant number of children avoided being collected solely because they were hiding out inside this one high school and all the adults in the building and a few of their classmates and friends were turned to puppets right before their eyes and taken away and they've just been alone here ever since. yeah it's been months since they've seen their families. it's unclear whether or not they're aware that the collector's been using their loved ones as toys in reenactments of the adventures of a lost friend of theirs. there are kindergarteners trapped in there. they spent a significant amount of time and effort on a meticulous, perfectly constructed stone statue honoring their collected principal who was one of the only people protecting them when the collector's spies came and it's dorky and unprofessional but they're so genuinely grateful for what he did and they never got to thank him themselves. their "leader" is the former captain of the grudgby team who's deeply traumatized and terrified 100% of the time and only took the job cause she wanted some sense of control over a nightmare situation. an adult in disguise has been manipulating her to do what she's told this entire time. their food is rotten and moldy and they were so scared of being found they put a sign up outside that said "no non-puppets inside". yeah. it's funny though. it's just a silly joke. look at luz's new palisman!

Feeling full is a good thing! It can be really overwhelming to feel full. We start thinking we did something wrong, that we should have eaten less, that there must be a punishment. But that is simply not true! You are full because you had wonderful food. You are full because your body enjoyed what it was given. You are full because your body is telling you that it is content. That is a beautiful, powerful, wonderful thing! Do not let your mind spiral to punishments. Instead take a deep breathe and remember that your body is a beautiful complicated creature, and it deserves to be taken care of.

Day 4 - Under-Appreciated OC - Edmund

Koftkino doesn't get much spotlight from me anyway but Ed (she/her) really should be thought about more cause I love her design ^^;

This universe is a fantasy farming sim, with Ed being one of the innkeepers and also one of the dateables! :D She's a bit surly first couple meetings, but she'll warm up to you in time ^w^

eating disorders can cause seizures???? I’ve never heard that before

content warning: continued in depth discussion of disorderly eating, restrictive eating behaviors, refeeding syndrome, and specific physical effects. no specific numbers are listed. scientific sources are linked.

it happens pretty rarely. what i was talking about in the tags of another post was referring to something that happened to a friend because of refeeding syndrome. refeeding syndrome can happen when someone has been restricting food intake pretty severally and then reestablishes nutrition again. this can happen to people at any weight and size, and it's actually a huge issue in eating disorder treatment because fatphobic doctors sometimes don't take into account the risks of refeeding syndrome when they're only using fatphobic metrics like BMI instead of actually looking at the patterns of behavior and nutrient levels. because of the electrolyte + fluid shifts that happen when you're going from extreme restriction to regular intake again, refeeding syndrome can cause things like seizures, cardiac complications, and can be fatal. here's an scientific study that talks more about it (TW for continued eating disorder talk, specific calories, numbers, etc)

so it's really important that when people are reengaging with food and nutrition after long periods of restriction and malnutrition, that they have access to vitamin + electrolyte supplementation, and that they have the support to understand how to taper back up to slowly increasing nutrition intake to prevent refeeding syndrome. that applies to anyone, regardless of weight or bmi. it also applies to anyone who is re-accessing nutrition after a long period of malnutrition caused by things other than eating disorders, such as chronic illnesses or famine.

i went through refeeding syndrome and luckily my doctors caught it in time to supplement my potassium and electrolyte levels enough that i didn't have very severe effects beyond cardiac effects. it was really scary and felt really horrible, and has left me with some complications even months later.

so yeah, it can be a really serious and fatal complication with eating disorders and i honestly think that it's one of the most important things to know in harm reduction for eating disorders so that people can understand how to prevent some risks related to accessing to nutrition while also in active restriction. people need to understand the specific risks so that people can make more informed decisions about what steps they can take to prevent refeeding syndrome, how to support their body even if they aren't ready for full recovery or to stop using behaviors.

kind of frustrating that people took "fat does not equal unhealthy" to mean "fat is not unhealthy." sometimes being obese IS unhealthy & excess fat can cause a lot of problems. ignoring health issues isn't progressive. real "oranges kill people with depression" moment

Weight talk again

My weight was back down to what it was 2 weeks ago. Thank goodness. I suspect it was indeed the antibiotics and steroids making me retain water. I am off them now, also I did not eat less last week in response to the weight gain. My carers made sure of it.

This is your reminder that weight doesn’t always reflect what you are eating or how much fat (not that having fat is a bad thing) or anything else you have. It is not reflection of how you are doing, how unwell you may or may not be and so forth. It can change dramatically without you changing your diet at all.

Gaining weight can feel like a personal failure, the worst thing that could happen, even like the end of the world. But it can be down to all sorts, including things you can’t control. And it will be ok (even if my weight had stayed higher it would have been ok, as hard as my brain would find that to accept).

Now I wish the healthcare system would take note of this.

I feel like the hardest part of having chronic pain at a young age is knowing that other people your age don't feel like this. I'm not even 20 yet and my ankles hurt and my hip keeps cramping and my knees creek and my elbows pop and my fingers are sore and my back aches. All the physical pain but the thing that hurts me most is knowing that other people my age rarely feel pain unless they're physically hurt.

having lunch with my dietitian over session today and it is scheduled too early for what ed brain says is an acceptable time to eat lunch (even though it is actually totally reasonable) also I had my mother help with packing lunch today bc I had to shower so I'm not even completely sure what all is in there ALSO I am getting anxious just thinking about eating food
