  2. CW: Discussion about feelings around ED, food, keto, dieting, no real details

    [comfort, support, solidarity, understanding would be welcome—advice not]

    I'm having such a hard time.

    A person in the house does keto to an incredibly disordered extent, obsessively counting calories for an extremely restricted intake.

    I have a long history of a contentious relationship with food, stemming mostly from my mother decrying how fat I was as a child (I wasn't), and that we rarely actually had any food in the house (literally).

    I'm finding it SO triggering to be around this person because pretty much the only thing they talk about is their diet.

    My therapist and I spoke about it before I left. We have plans to start up EMDR therapy when I get back in March, to counter the trauma I hold around food... which is great, but also it's a long time until March.

  3. I'm in a local Facebook group for babysitters, and just saw this..

    "Looking for a in home Babysitter
    Hi everyone! I’m looking for a in home babysitter for my 1 year old daughter. Preferably someone who is comfortable babysitting in home with surveillance cameras inside of the home, someone who’s qualified in CPR, has some experience with nutritional restrictions, dieting.."

    Like, I have Opinions about surveillance cameras, but NUTRITIONAL RESTRICTIONS AND DIETING FOR A 1 YEAR OLD??

  4. CW: mh, eating disorder recovery, lies that enabled the disorder (that are part of activist scenes even for non-disordered eaters!)

    lies like

    "Self-restraint is a virtue/ indulgence is bad"

    "less is more"

    "if it doesn't hurt, it can't be effective"

    "it is virtuous and morally good and important and effective to make personal sacrifices"

    "this isn't a sacrifice, you LIKE it!" (when I don't allow myself to consider the alternative)

    "this is extreme, but extreme is good because it is radical, it goes to the roots of the problem!" (ok, sometimes true, but not everything that's extreme is automatically effective or even radical!)

    "this flies in the face of conventional wisdom because I am actually more informed than most people" (again, sometimes true but not automatically true)

    "the problem isn't that this is too hard, it's that I'm stupid/not trying enough/ etc"

    "you always have to try harder. just like. in general."

    "pushing yourself is morally good and leads to growth rather than burnout"

    "you don't deserve to have your needs and desires met"

    "this isn't a need, it's a want, it's selfish"

    "others have it worse so quit complaining"

    "resting is wasting time"

    "having fun is selfish when others are suffering"

    "there is so much to do, no time for rest/fun!"

    ...and so on. Until you genuinely can't tell what you want and need. Because society and especially abusers (insofar as there's a difference) beat that ability out of us starting in infancy.

    And these beliefs are so common in activist scenes and spaces and are what motivates many people to do activism. It's not "just" the stuff eating disorders are made out of, it's also the water most people swim in in general. Obviously you get versions of these beliefs in religions and conservative circles too....

    There's nothing more radical than listening to your body's needs and allowing them unconditionally. Fuck the concepts of laziness, greed and undeservedness!

  5. If you post about how much weight you're losing or how you're dieting, I'm not following you.
    #DietCulture is toxic, harmful nonsense and i reject it. For my health and mood both.
    What we weigh is not what we're worth. Fat is not a failing. Thin is not morally superior or automatically healthier.
    So many people around you have or have experienced disordered eating. You're not helping.

    Also please listen to Maintenance Phase.

  11. I don't know what triggered my remembering this today, but it's on my mind so here ya go....

    Content Warning: #DietCulture #UnhealthyDieting

    Thirteen years ago, instead of trying it and getting really sick as a result, what I should've said when the church acquaintance I wanted to befriend offered to get me on the "science-based #hCGDiet":

  12. I don't even wanna know what kinda intrusive data collection is going on here



  13. Is it possible to talk about #dietculture fads in a way that is still permissive of the sheer genetic variability that necessarily dictates that some dietary choices are suitable for some but not for others? Every time I hear that #keto is a dangerous fad, I have to grit my teeth, because it’s been the only successful intervention (medical or otherwise) for my chronic #migraines, and I’d be disabled 3 or 4 days a week if I didn’t keep myself in ketosis (in my case, <18 net grams of carbs p/day).

  14. You can eat all the calorie free, sugar free, fat free, guilt free food and what you'll eventually figure out is what's not free is you. You're trapped in #dietculture and you're scared of peanut butter.

    (By the way…if you’re allergic to PB you’re allowed to be scared of it, this isn't about that.)

  17. I practically could have written this piece about the book Fat Talk by Virginia Sole-Smith, whose writing I follow, admire, and learn from. If you've ever made or heard or agreed with a comment about someone's body size, you need to read this wapo.st/3mBNjjt, get the book, and consider following and subscribing to Virginia's writing at virginiasolesmith.substack.com. #FatTalk #HAAS #HealthAtAnySize #health #DietCulture #bodies #fat #weight

  18. Our fixation on size and weight stigma is already hurting young kids' self image, educators and parents can see.

    The new childhood obesity guidelines that include weight loss meds & surgery recommendations has some worried it could just get worse

  19. Unser neuer Newsletter ist da und diesmal geht es ums #Untenrum - und warum #smalldickenergy eben doch was mit Sportwagen zu tun hat (was nicht unsere Schuld, aber wissenschaftlich erwiesen ist).
    Außerdem: Erkenntnisse unserer aktuellen Recherchen zu #DietCulture und Ausblick auf den #BlackHistoryMonth, der natürlich auch im Lila Podcast stattfinden wird - ihr dürft euch freuen :)

    "Rather than bingeing, I will 'go on frozen Margarita cleanses.' In fact, lemme get a refill from the blender here. The salt is just starting to do its thing and I feel very light and clear."

    My Seriously column this week for anybody who could use a little positive spin.
