#how much calorie

im gonna start a fight; and, at the same time, i need you to take this in the most good-faith way possible, but:
videos that involve body-checking and intentionally (and uncritically) show a mealplan of an unhealthy number of calories are just a revamped version of pro-ana food diaries.
and yeah, i know there's arguments. i address some of them under the cut. but at the end of the day, we're just coming back to romanticizing mental illness; we've just found a better platform for it.
this is already something we've done. we knew it was wrong and tried to stop it. and tbh. it just wasn't enough.
there are people who argue "well, what if you have an eating disorder, you can't help it if you don't eat!" except that as someone with an ED; we are not infants. we know what we're doing. part of having an ED is that you are like, maybe too self-aware. even if we can't help our own food choices, we don't need to fucking romanticize the disorder - something we've been warning you about since 2013. there are hours of setup, filming, and editing that go into these videos. they do not happen to fall into place randomly. there is a reason they are pieced together to be beautiful, bright, inspiring.
there's this woman who pretty much only posts daily plans under a normal amount of calories, and everyone defends her saying but it's better than nothing! and i'm like. except she opens those with images of her showing off her body and provides no context in the video or caption that suggests that she believes what she's doing is unhealthy. she has hundreds of thousands of followers on a platform designed for young kids and teens. i refuse to believe that by accident her content just happens to be cheery advice on "healthy" versions of starving.
for any other symptom of mental illness, we would be incredibly enraged by this kind of placid acceptance of a "tips and tricks" fast-start guide. imagine if people posted pink & pretty videos saying "best places to cut yourself" as if it was a fucking storytime. we, as a society, are so fucking fatphobic that we would rather accept blatantly harmful displays of self harm than admit that we are obsessed with a hyper-thin body type.
i am not suggesting someone never talks about their disorder. i talk about mine. actually, it's a plot point in my book.
here's the difference: i recognize it's a fucking mental illness. i am very careful to never mention a specific weight, eating pattern, or calorie plan. i always make sure to position it as something that ruined my fucking life. i do not put cheery music in the background and hearts and sparkles over my worst moments. i do not film it in bright light. i do not start each passage with an image of a thin body followed by "here's how to look like her."
eating disorders should not be framed as aspirational. and the problem is that society worships the "after" image, so long as you don't get too sick. there is a reason so many people who quit being "influencers" will later admit - i wasn't eating well that whole time; an obsession with food was completely destroying my life.
we let any uncredited, uncertified person write the most backwards, fucked up shit about how to get the body you desire! because the underlying, secret belief is: well, at least they're thin! and the real thing that fucking gets me each time - they make fucking money off of it. their irresponsibility and societal harm literally pays off for them.
"why do you care so much." "don't like it don't look." "so what if people experiment with new ways of thinking of food?"
thank you for asking. we're about to get extremely personal. it's because when i was 18 i discovered "thinspiration"/"thinspo." and it absolutely influenced, shaped, and codified my pre-existing eating disorder. i went from having some troubling habits and traits to being incredibly unwell within what felt like a matter of days. there were actual pages designed to train me on how to have an ED correctly. it was all so suddenly easy. i was sick; and the nature of the illness meant - i wanted to be sicker.
it takes an average of 7 years for a person to fully recover. i know this personally - even now, 10 years from the worst of it, i still fucking struggle. i am so much happier now and i eat what i want and i literally don't think about food at all (19 year old me would shudder) and yet - i still fucking know the calories of plain toast with butter.
an eating disorder is one of the deadliest types of mental illness. over 1 in 4 people with an ED will attempt suicide.
and i'm sorry. i just do not see the exchange rate of "high rate of engagement" versus "the value of a human life."
#and there's something else in there about like ....#tbh once i got over something like 1k followers#i stopped being specific about my ED for a REASON.#yes on ur personal locked blog that u use like a diary go ahead etc#but we are OBVIOUSLY not talking about that. we're talking about the sheer NUMBER of people i could be talking about#in that one paragraph. that you and i probably were thinking about 2 different influencers#bc they get to say that they're just posting FITNESS and if it's FITNESS it's OKAY and im like#jesus christ lord almighty#every person in recovery from an ED: this is incredibly dangerous holy shit do you know how much this would have triggered me#each of these ppl: how dare you!!!!!!!!! i am only harming those who WANT to engage with my content!!!!!#their followers: leave them alone !!! they can't help that they make an hours-long choice to frame their disorder as if it was#fucking cottagecore !!!!#like girlie this person needs THERAPY#again! i didn't even have that large of a following before i IMMEDIATELY deleted any specific mention of calories food etc#bc i recognize responsibility and i didnt EVER want to even ACCIDENTALLY encourage this#and im not even GETTING PAID FOR THIS!!!#aND THEY ARE!!!#something something something they know this content makes them money#they don't give a SHIT about u babe

new gemini update was so good as always but I can't stop thinking:
big mama: there's nothing wrong with my sons
splinter: you fucked up two perfectly good kids is what you did. look at blue. he's got an eating disorder
wwhhhattttt? nooo, don't be silly. leo doesn't have an eating disorder.
leo and donnie have eating disorders--
#this is a Joke but also No It's Not#it's just different flavors lmao#but both of them have absolutely fucked relationships with food#my poor babies... :(... who did this to you...?#(it was me i did)#leo spends a lot of time worrying about whAT hes eating and how mUCH hes eating and if hes eating the rIGHT thing#largely due to his mom and also just being a celebrity/child celebrity in general#but also in part due to:#donnie has a lot of food sensitivities which have really never been accommodated for at all and as a result he just#has a very negative association with food and eating. he doesnt LIKE eating and he avoids it a majority of the time.#its stressful and unpleasant and he doesnt like it#which ofc only gave leo another reason to hyperfixate on food and calories and nutritional value etc etc etc#which leads to#ironically#leo (who def has an undiagnosed ed and restricts/denies himself food regularly): worrying abt making sure donnie eats enough#donnie will do the same thing back sometimes but not with the same obsessiveness that leo does#esp because the ideals surrounding eating and dieting set up around them really kind of just#lead them both to believe (at least to an extent) that leo is fine and eats a totally healthy and ok amount of food (esp in comparison to d#(no he doesnt)(and even when he does thats not the point)#tw eating disorders#cw eating disorders#eating disorders#tw disorders eating#cw disordered eating#disordered eating#gemini au asks#asks#anon

....man there would've been. a decent period of time inbetween grace killing the Only Other Guy around for miles and twitch picking him up huh
100% alone out on the ice with nothing except an empty half wrecked ship and the guy you just murdered. and butchered. for like...2 weeks? more???
after a while he sets the ship on fire to get someone's attention but til then was he just. sitting there the whole time? in dead silence? grace buddy are you good?? you wanna talk about that or,,??
#I SOMEHOW NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS PART#MY BRAIN GOES STRAIGHT FROM KILL & EAT GUY TO GETTING RESCUED#wuh oh grace!!!!!#sidenote this took me down a weird rabbithole about the amount of calories in the human body#to see how long this all. Could Last. and it's over a month#maybe more than 2#but this is incredibly unscientific calculations not accounting for 1 million things#and also more than a month is too much#and i don't want to get put on a list for googling anything else#i feel like this needs a tag. uh.#cannibalism tw#???#londonmusings#grace

Anyway I found a cake mix and had some scraps of things so I tried to make cupcakes. You can pinpoint the exact cupcake where I went "lol screw this my hand is broken"
Observe my hideous but tasty children. They've given me ideas for future endeavors and represent much needed calories
#i tried to make them lemon lime like 7up and had mixed success#ive been drinking work coffee because we have cocoa and there is creamer there#i think gods more interested in me getting calories than he is where theyre coming from rn#nevermind that i don't think he cares too much about caffeine anyway#or alcohol for that matter#all things in moderation and all that#speaking of somebody please ask me about how i follow the word of wisdom#i have Such an essay about it

I genuinely have no idea what came over me yesterday 😭 I just woke up so horny and hungry & couldn't resist spending almost literally the whole day stuffing my face and obsessing over how fat I've gotten...
Made a little timeline of my gluttony 🙃 Mid lunch break, post lunch break, post dinner, post dessert
#cw calories in following tag...#i do not usually count but again made an exception on this day#& it was over 7000 🫠#but I wasn't really paying attention to all of what and how much I was eating so it's hard to guess accurately#I was trying to not be on here today but my tummy is not happy so it's hard not to think about what I was up to yesterday lol

i don’t want to deprive myself of food anymore
#i’ve been on and off relapsing but i’m starting to realize how irrational my thoughts are around food and my body#my body dysmorphia is awful and i know realistically i don’t need to lose weight and that starving myself will only slow down my metabolism#so losing weight would be for nothing cuz i’d gain that shit back after eating a healthy amount of calories again 💀#besides purging gives me so much acne#i still feel insanely ugly but this is so unrealistic be so fr

I feel like Vincent would wear shirts from the brand "Affliction Clothing". Idk if you've ever heard of them but the name alone kinda fits his vibe.
Vincent is a simple man. If sees an edgy pattern of a tortured skeleton, he wants to wear it.
He feels a little handsome in them. And SUPER INTIMIDATING HAHAHA BASK IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR NEW LORD
#vincenttag#Ever since Vincent learned how to make his own freezerpops he's never let go of them#This one is pure lemon juice.#It's tragically bitter.#Vincent doesn't really know how to smile all that well. Looks more like a grimace at this point#Other juicepop faves were: Grapefruit (obvi). Ketchup just because. Chicken broth. Half a container of chocolate syrup. And soda.#Vanillin makes him want to yack and most icies are just... ugh. too sweet. Drowns the palate.#You can never get too much sour though. Unless your mouth starts bleeding then thats just an inconvenience with the trade#Sonia has a huge sweet tooth but cant metabolize all of it too well so she was raised sugar free for her career#she envies vincents superhuman metabolism because he clearly isnt using it for what really matters#whereas his metabolism is waaaay too strong and he has to eat 4-8k in calories depending on how active his flights are to maintain weight

I am once again pissed at diet culture. I just watched three tiktoks in a row. how to cook dairyfree. How to meal prep without carbs. How to make healthy snacks without sugar. I keep getting (and stupidly clicking on) those articles that are like "ten things you shouldn't eat if you want to lose weight" and "why xy foods are bad for you" and wouldn't you know it last week i got recommendated articles that said those specific foods were super healthy and great for weight loss and now i should "never eat" them?? Is there any food we're still allowed to eat without being made to feel guilty?
#Fuck diet culture#And fuck my curiosity for always clicking on those articles and making the algorithm think i like them#I'm so pissed at this#Good thing spite is what got me over the worst of my ed#Spite shall make me enjoy all foods again!#Also funny how people who make their money sharing recipes also want to make me believe i should not be eating any food because it's all ba#Sounds a bit counter productive doesn't it#Because guess what#There sure was a time when i kept searching for low carb few calories no sugar recipes#And then i saw that it was over 100 calories and decided that was too much#Promoting the 'bad food' thing will eventually make people hate any food including your recipe#Ok rant over for now#Riya rambles#ignore my rambling#Tw ed

It's nice to finally have myself be happy with my hair again. Like, geez.. you never realize how good you had it till it's actually gone. And I do mean that.. lol
I was suffering through extreme hair loss all my life, but I was always told it was many things; the main two being the fact my curly hair was so thick that large chunks had to fall out all the way to a possible thyroid issue.
Spoiler alert: none of that was true.. lol What it was was severe anemia.
And boi did that stuff nearly lay me flat. It started to go after my hair because it was better than going after my organs. But that doesn't mean I don't suffer from slight brain damage now no thanks to the lack of oxygen my body was getting for many years.
Nearly losing all my hair to nerve damage and what not--it took me having to self-diagnose just to find the issue.
After 4 years of taking iron pills, I finally have my hair back to normal. My motor functions are still a bit weak but I'll blame the C virus for exacerbating that.
Normally, I wouldn't care what my hair looked like, but sadly, I have a narcissist for an adopted guardian who nearly caused me to die from an eating disorder years ago. So yeah. I couldn't afford to ever have her see me looking less than perfect.
But it sure is nice to have my hair coming back in thick again.
#cw: eating disorder#cw: ED#cw: abusive parents#and my ED is hardly cured btw#i eat maybe at most 1000 calories IF that.#i remember having to ram bread down my throat one day b/c my body was yelling i hadn't eaten in 12 hrs#it gets worse if i don't work. during lockdown i lost so much weight none of my stuff fit me anymore#a slight blessing i guess b/c i was horribly overweight in my eyes#but yeah i would say our drs in this country are a joke.#even when i couldn't stand during my horrible vertigo situation#two docs told me i might have to go to a specialist#and instead i found a free easy to use guide on how to dislodge calcium crystals in my organ of balance which could be the problem#low and behold... it was the issue. and i got better#i hate this country so much sometimes.. lol#the fact that NO doc even a gyno bothered to ask about my flow when it came to my lethargy and hair loss is hilariously awful..#text

Doctor yesterday waited until I was naked and laying on my back to do my physical exam to talk about my weight AUGH
#wrenfea.exe#I was like this is great she hasnt brought up my weight once is this is one?#then when im most vulnerable she hits me with the hmm you need to be careful about how many calories youre taking in#my weight has been stable for over a year since I stopped worrying about dieting#also I told her I am usually very physically active and most of my weight is muscle#but noooo bc I have a big tummy I must be a lazy overeater#when in fact I actually dont eat that much#she wasnt as bad as my other doctors at least
