  1. CW: Body Dismorphia Body Image Eating Disorders

    Been watching the artist Beth McKnight’s fun short videos where she, an American living in Glasgow learns to speak Glaswegian. This one though is her Edinburgh Fringe show where she walks through her art journey and discusses how body dysmorphia inspired her to paint and how art helped her deal with how that was affecting her.

  2. The Things Beneath the Thing

    Lately I've been reminded that trauma rarely lives in one moment. It weaves itself through years of experiences, attaching itself to people, words, memories, and feelings we don't even realize are connected. This week, my brain decided it was finally time to show me a few of those connections, and as uncomfortable as that was, I couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

  4. I am experiencing some strange #bodydysmorphia that isn't exactly bad.

    I was #obese most of my life, and wasn't in a healthy range until the last few years, and now that my body is mostly muscle instead of fat, I am learning I can move in ways I never considered.

    Also since I am a lot lighter, I have to put more effort into moving heavy things, and can't rely on brute force.

    Moving feels effortless, and it takes me no effort to motivate myself to get up or move.

  5. Tubefilter: The #SkinnyTok trend is drawing scrutiny from E.U. regulators. “On TikTok, there are thousands of videos that offer advice for viewers who want to slim down. That archive raises some complex moral questions, and regulators in the European Union are looking for answers. The video archive in question is collected under the hashtag #SkinnyTok, which applies to videos that discuss […]

  6. I really like skinny jeans.

    My entire life I was big until relatively recently. I dropped almost my current weight of 162 over 2 years. I am 6 foot 2 so that is quite thin.

    My legs are NOTHING BUT MUSCLE and THICK as I do nothing but walk.

    I make those skinny jeans look good now, and it's nice to feel sexy for the first time in my life.

    Though #bodydysmorphia is strange, as I am still big in my head.

    I get surprised when I see my reflection somewhere.

  7. News-Medical: Teens face body image crisis as social media fuels dissatisfaction globally. “In a recent study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, researchers investigated the prevalence of body weight dissatisfaction among youth from several (n = 6) countries and its association with social media use and sociodemographics….

  8. Hollywood physiques are really out of control.

    I remember watching a Netflix movie about Sherlock Holmes' sister, where Henry Cavill played Sherlock. The guy is clearly a bodybuilder. Why cast a bodybuilder to play Sherlock Holmes?

    What exactly are you promoting?

  9. CW: Body Dysmorphia

    As I get more fit, my clothes have started to fit me differently.

    All of my size 34 shorts are now too small to fit on my hips, where I attempted to hide my body by draping my clothes there.

    Which led to clothing style choices, like cargo shorts that (for some reason) do not have the same fitted waist that other shorts do.

    All of my more fitted 34 waist shorts now fit, but only if I wear them AT MY WAIST which for me is basically my belly button, a good 2-4" higher than I've ever worn anything (for reals).

    So now I understand everything about how pants are cut for men that I was never taught, but also could not understand because of my broken posture.

    At age 53 I am learning that the cut of the garment is helping encourage that posture.

    I'm starting to feel like... I almost started to type "a different person", and that's true...

    But it's Me, in the flesh. Different from what I was because it's someone that doesn't reject their own corporeal existence.

    I feel myself liking myself, not because I'm being good and eating well and working out. But because I'm getting a connection to my own body that I never got the chance to have.

    I've been on a little writing hiatus, because of life getting in the way, but I realised it's a pretty important anniversary and I felt compelled to write to myself about it.

    My covid has rescheduled our third date, so I have a couple more weeks to worry about *this*:

    "Now everything has been triggered, it’s left me terrified to let him see me naked. See my stomach naked...I feel that, because he’s so good-looking and perfect and out of my league, my body will disappoint him, disgust him, like it disgusts me."

    A new post all about my fear of "punching above my weight" (please don't shout at me, I'm very small and my mind is illogical)

    "I'm seeing this guy I really like. I keep referring to him as Perfect Guy, because to me, he is...There is one problem though; I'm utterly terrified of fucking him"

    CW for body dysmorphia, eating disorders, and a mention of self-mutilation.

  14. I missed an email informing me a comic of mine was accepted for a mental health zine while I was at a contemplative retreat last month. This meant I just discovered I was included when a copy of the zine with a thank you note arrived in today’s mail!

    The comic explores how my #BodyDysmorphia is rooted in early childhood trauma.

  15. Can anyone recommend any good resources on #BodyDysmorphia? You can PM me if you’d rather. I’m really struggling to accept what I really look like at the moment. I’ve lost 47 kilos and I had to ask my partner if a photo of me was what I really look like - I was worried the mirror was bent - I look so tall and thin I like look like I have been stretched on a wrack to my eyes. I tend to see myself as much fatter than I am.
