STOP. PUTTING. TW. AND. CW. ON. PHOTOS. OF. FOOD!!!!!!!!
food is not bad, the habits are. putting a tw or a cw makes it seem like food IS the bad thing, we need to make a good relationship with food not be like scared of it
as someone who struggles with an eating disorder and who has relapsed multiple times with it, food needs to be un-demonized. when i see a cw or a tw it makes me think “oh i shouldn’t eat bc thats bad, why else would there be a warning” bc thats what it sounds like
food is in our day to day life, and we will have to look at it no matter what bc we need it to survive. being able to look at food and see people enjoy and praise food is helpful in a recovery to build that healthy relationship
and for me personally ive noticed its not food thats a trigger, its things leading up to it. i have anorexia and for me its things like bodies, truama, and reading intensely on impossible diets that trigger/fuel me. not food itself
i go into it as well here and you can see other people with ed in the replies speaking on it too, from what i have seen its more people who aren’t affected that enforce it while people who are affected just get told off and be called like ableist or something https://twitter.com/SWlTCHPOSlTIONS/status/1326607076731260930
and if food is your trigger, building that relationship will take longer but its worth it and you can do it!! i believe in you!!! triggers are the worst but getting over them is the most amazing feeling. to get over an ed you have to have a good relationship with food-
and food is something you will have everyday so its the most important trigger to tend to and overcome. and damn will it feel good
my heart hurts,i just got a dm (they dont wanna tweet or be identified) but they told me that they are literally SCARED to talk about this bc of the amount of people who speak over us and make us feel like we arent strong enough that would try to“cancel” them or call them ableist
i got permission to say that bc they told me a few hours ago and its just been glued in my mind. i felt that way for MONTHS and i know so many other people who also agree
stop speaking over the people who are actually affected
stop speaking over the people who are actually affected
its like people look at us like we’re glass and we will break with one touch
okay muting this bc if im not careful and i keep going into detail like this i will fall really hard again, and i dont wanna be back in moon 2017 bc THAT was scary. love yall and PLEASE take care of urself and build that relationship with food baby! in this together mwuah
