More perks of being a healthy weight!!

Easier to use public transit. The seats are more comfortable and if it's standing room only, you aren't keeping other people out of the bus because of your obesity.

Bathing is relaxing rather than annoying. No rolls to clean under, you can lift your feet easily to clean your toes. All of you fits under the shower stream.

On that note, you smell better. No rolls for sweat to accumulate and stink, you can bathe better, and you aren't sweating buckets just from moving all of your weight.

You can sleep anywhere. You're drinking at a friend's house and staying the night? You can sleep on the couch, in a sleeping bag on the floor, or in the bed with them, all with comfort. Your dorm has twin beds only? That's fine, you won't overflow from them.

Shoes fit. I've been watching some My 600 lb Life lately and God so many of them can't wear shoes or can only wear flip flops because their feet are so fat! It's kind of scary.

You can do things with your friends. Mall walking, going to a clip or bar and sit anywhere, music festivals, fan expos, theme parks. Being a healthy weight makes these things so much more enjoyable.

I think I've mentioned this one, but your body looks proportional. Being super underweight, your head starts to look way to big and your limbs look unnatural. Being overweight, your limbs and stomach look massive while your head looks too small.

aggressive reminder that YOU DESERVE FOOD! You deserve nutrition!!! It doesnt matter who you are, how you look, how much you weigh, how much you ate yesterday. You. Deserve. Food!! Fuck diet culture! And fuck the beauty industry!!!

let's normalize going into pro ed blogs and spamming the report button

i'm not talking about someone genuinely venting and needing help, i'm talking about 17 year old caitlyn sucking her stomach in and posting pics of starving girls from war torn countries

also if you've ever written meanspo and published it online you are fucking horrible and i hope you wake up with the sun shining right in your eyes <3

Could anyone send me (reply or reblog) a list of thinspo/proana/proed tags for me to block?

I don't have an eating disorder but these posts make me really uncomfortable and I don't know how to find the tags that are used for this without looking for these posts (which I'm avoiding to do).

Thanks to anyone who can help.

If you're trying to help someone with something they're struggling with, make sure you actually take the time to listen to them and exactly how they're struggling.

I'm overweight. I'm trying to lose weight for health and vanity reasons, and I know my issues with my weight primarily stem from poor mental health and associated side effects like poor self care, poor self image, self hate, etc.

Chanting "calories in, calories out" at me and telling me "just eat less stupid" isn't going to help me, and is actively pushing me deeper into an unhealthy relationship with food and my body.

What I need is confirmation and reminders that I am worthy of love and that I need to take care of myself. What I need is someone to explain the specifics of what I'm witnessing and why it doesn't match what should be happening in my head. I need someone to explain to me that exercise causes tears in your muscles that your body has to fix, and how it does that is holding onto more water and causing inflammation, and that makes you heavier, but it's not fat. I need people to listen when I tell them that I have an eating disorder and telling me "just eat less" is reinforcing the negative behaviors that fucking got me here.

You know somethings wrong when even 100 calories for breakfast sets off alarm bells for you.

eat well today, you deserve it 🥂

you matter far too much to skip meals and restrict your diet, you are beautiful, you are loved, you are perfect as you are <3

damn tumblr- i like one post that is tagged as ed related and not even an hour later i get ed related posts on my hone feed...

damn tumblr you are doing a great job at suppressing that community 😍/sar

Tw- food under the cut!

Sor and I’s dinner tonight ♥︎✨

Just a reminder to always report pro-ana blogs as they are promoting self-harm and violate tumblr's terms of service.

i’m so sick of tumblr recommending me inappropriately tagged thinspo, pro ana or ed posts. mainly because the OP doesn’t bother spelling the tags correctly. people can get triggered because of that!

TW // ed ment

if your pro ana or thinspo, please get help, havyng an eatyng dysordyr is not cool or quirky. it wyll actually fuck up your lyfe and make it a livyng hell.
