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.

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??

And you need to listen to your body. ESPECIALLY when it tells you to eat the "unhealthy" food or "too much" of it or at the "wrong time". That's your body looking out for you.
I know in theory that because of my eating disorder, my body's ability to signal its needs to me, and probably more so my ability to listen, is messed up. So I have to eat when I'm not hungry, or eat when nothing tastes good. (The praxis of this still trips me up.) But when I DO get a craving, I know I should listen.
"All the tasty food is bad for you" is a lie. It's tasty because it is full of stuff we need. That's basic evolution. We need energy, calories, sugar, fat, carbs. They're good for us and they're healthy and they're necessary. Additives usually serve a good purpose and are fine (except artificial sweeteners). Ok I'm not a nutritionist, these are just things I need to remind myself of. I'm being very general and vague for that reason. But it's important to push back against the constant diet culture messages that tell us to deprive ourselves of things we're hungry for.
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!

On its own, weight-loss advice from a doctor isn’t unreasonable. But paired with judgment and offered as the only solution, it lands like dismissal.

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.

My insurance company sent me a free "health" box, including a cheap but decent food scale, a cheap but probably fine human scale, and this plate, which can fuck right off. #realAppeal #mandatoryWeightLoss #dietCulture #bodyShaming
🔢 Calorie counting turns 100+.
Once a wartime tool, now a diet culture staple.
RDNs say:
⚠️ It oversimplifies nutrition
⚠️ Can fuel disordered eating
Let’s shift to holistic, personalized health.

#DietCulture - "schaut, wie diszipliniert ich esse, Sport mache, meinen Körper und mein Gewicht BEHERRSCHE"
und die Buchbubble - "schaut auf den dicken Buchstapel, den ich im April geschafft habe, und wie fleißig ich mit dem Output von AUTOR*INNEN Schritt halte"
sind sich ähnlich.

As someone who got married in 2005 and definitely spent a chunk of that year ✨dieting✨, I am shocked I have no memory of this awful book that apparently sold two million copies

In a world where wellness trends and diet fads dominate social media feeds and mainstream media, the pressure to adhere to a certain body ideal has never been more pervasive.

relistening to the #MaintenancePhase episode about the #MasterCleanse, and yeah ... cleanses and detoxes are direct descendents of leeches, blood-letting and balancing of the humors

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":
When I see thin people cooking or eating food and it's stuff that would catch a fat person a LOT of heat it makes me so mad. I have had to learn so much stuff about balancing nutrition and carbs and protein and fats because I'm type 1 diabetic but also because I'm fat and well, most fat people understand this life. It is demanded of us that we apologetically demonstrate that we don't eat trash, we must strive for the Good Fatty trope.
And the maddening thing is that somehow I am the Bad Person because I'm fat and yet I make nutritionally well rounded meals???? I know more than these people who are purportedly healthier than me, simply because their body is smaller!
Having to navigate physical therapy and researching stuff online for exercise while also previously having disordered eating, is a nightmare. Now I'm just getting so many recommended videos for diets and fat burning exercises, EVEN THOUGH I googled shit in private mode to prevent this happening.
No, I'm not interested in diet, exercise for a hot bod, exercise to lose weight, or any diet culture related shit. I just need to do my physical therapy for my fucked neck in peace please.
Saw an for a 'wall #pilates' programme and it's actually full of #dietCulture bullshit like "no chocolates or soda!", "no burger and chips!"
Fuck off telling people that losing weight is the most important thing. This BS puts so many of us off exercise.
It should not be a punishment
Being thin shouldn't be presented as a reward
Strength over weight
It's so absolutely toxic and ubiquitous
I don't even wanna know what kinda intrusive data collection is going on here

@vivsmythe #DietCulture is absolutely rife with #Conspirituality (“where quack pseudoscience meets quasi-religious beliefs about how our bodies work"): clean eating, cleansing, sinful foods, being “good/bad” in keeping to a diet, willpower, fat=gluttonous/thinness=virtuous, fasting as spiritual, etc.
Diets are framed (in explicit and implicit was) as the means to get into Heaven.
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.)
Disclaimer: People will disagree with me, and those people are allowed to be wrong. Please note I do not engage with diet/health/fat trolls.

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 https://wapo.st/3mBNjjt, get the book, and consider following and subscribing to Virginia's writing at https://virginiasolesmith.substack.com/. #FatTalk #HAAS #HealthAtAnySize #health #DietCulture #bodies #fat #weight

Wir sprechen über #DietCulture, wie sie schon von Kindesbeinen an auf uns einwirkt, warum Diäten nichts bringen, wie Social Media unser Körperbild beeinflusst und wir wir uns davon befreien können.
Unter anderem mit Molly Forbes ("Body Happy Kids") und mit Rezo, der für viele Jugendliche ein großes Vorbild ist.
