Tell me why I'm sitting in class and there's a girl talking about how she's "fat" (if she's fat then I'm morbidly obese) and needs to lose weight for summer ??? Girl you weight 45kg you don't need to lose weight. Then she starts talking about how she didn't ate dinner last night, like someone's gonna care, newsflash nobody does.
She isn't the only one tho, there's always someone posting about new health trends or unrealistic body goals, and that genuinely pisses me off because I've been so insecure because of internet and sometimes I still feel self-conscious about my body. The problem really is the damn phone and I can't defend nor understand people who romanticize ed's.
While people with actually ed's fight to stay healthy you're literally mocking them saying you need to get skinnier and bragging about how you only drank an energy drink for lunch or how you didn't eat for a whole day, go get help.

To me behaving like she did is already having an ed.. That's not a normal behavior at all and you don't know what she does but don't brag about. It's not mocking ppl with ED, it's actually promoting it and it's not ok at all, i'm sorry you had to hear that. I'm a bit worried about ppl on here, I've seen several post about it and while I understand the feeling to find a place to talk about your ED that your family and irl friends won't see, I'm worried this place might become problematic on this subject. What did help me a lot with my ED is educating myself on fatphobia and I really think that could actually help everyone to have a better relationship with their body

it's not really romanticizing eating disorders if they're engaging in disordered eating themselves, some people genuinely think they're fat (think body dysmorphia) and/or are insecure about their looks. it's frustrating as a fat person though, it's literally listening to people say they'd hate to look like me and need to prevent it by starving themselves. because they aren't fucking fat.
i think people need to stop broadcasting their insecurities online the way they do, for their own sake and others'. implicitly saying that being fat is bad and spreading the idea that disordered eating is a solution to fatness is not a neutral act that does no harm, even if the person saying it is just insecure or mentally ill or whatever.
I understand the difference between someone with body dysmorphia and someone who just thinks it's pretty or cool to be extremely skinny. In this case I'm talking about the latter.

...still isn't just romanticization if their eating is actually disordered. that's indicative of an actual issue, or at least the start of one if they keep refusing to eat.
