Real sorry to do this to y’all with eating disorders, but here we fuckin’ go.
DO NOT STOP EATING ENTIRELY. If you over-eat, that is a problem to work on with doctors and therapists. And they will tell you that your body NEEDS FOOD TO FUCKING FUNCTION.
You know who should be 90 pounds? TWELVE YEAR OLDS. FUCK OFF. It is FINE to not care about popularity and hell, it’s even fine to not have a ton of friends if you’re not a fucking social butterfly. Being focused on your education is a great thing.
This is not. FUCK YOU.
And look at the notes! 170 people have seen this! I just took a quick scroll through the notes and most of them are either pro-ana blogs or supporters of pro-ana blogs. 170 is not a huge number compared to posts that get notes by the thousands, but think about this – ALMOST TWO HUNDRED VULNERABLE PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS BULLSHIT.
And I found that post reblogged by one of my mutuals, who I will not name, but who I promptly sent a message asking “Uh, hey, what the fuck!?”
“Disappearingdolly” – look at this shit!
Okay, listen, if you are naturally thin, good for you! That’s fuckin’ fine! What isn’t fuckin’ fine is telling everybody else that they should look like you, and that if they don’t, they’re fat and ugly.
This looks like ME. I’m on the fence about how much detail I should provide, but 1) That is what my body looks like and it gives me the fucking creeps that I can relate. 2) I am underweight. You do NOT want to be underweight. I’m not assuming this person is, because they could be shorter than I am, but being 5′3 and less than 110 lb. ISN’T GOOD. Fuck right off.
Stop fucking posting pictures of thin, pretty girls as “THINSPO”. I don’t know if she went on a diet or has an eating disorder herself or is, again, naturally thin. But again, it’s disgusting to tell people, “Hey! If you don’t have the same body type as her, you’re gross! LOL!”
FUCK YOU.
Omg! Lol! How, like, totally relatable! This is all funny and good and we can all laugh along about our anor– NO. FUCK YOU.
Look at these urls, good lord!
It gives me the creeps that this is made to look so “uwu relatable!” with a fucking reaction gif and a bunch of people giggling in the tags. Hell, I’ve had this habit in the past, and seeing it on a goddamn pro-ana blog only confirms my suspicion that it isn’t a good fucking thing!
I am WORRIED for everyone who finds it, thinks it’s funny, internalizes the message that hiding an eating disorder is something to laugh about, then reblogs the post, thus spreading the message to other vulnerable people! Damn it!
@anorexic-angel is the URL. Block and report. When you get to the options as for what to report, click “something else”, then click the “self harm” option, then check the box that asks you if the user is in danger. Because this IS DANGEROUS.
I seriously fucking hope this person takes their head out of their ass, gets help, recovers, and never pulls a stunt like this again.
FUCKING HELL.
Now. Something to balance out my absolute, unbridled disgust and anger:
You, no matter who you are or what you weigh, are not just a number. You are not defined by your weight. If you are overweight or obese, you deserve to be happy and you deserve to be healthy. When losing weight is necessary, which it IS NOT when you’re already thin, there are perfectly safe ways to do that. To all of you working on this, you’re doing great. I mean it.
To all of you who are underweight, for whatever reason, and you’re working on gaining and becoming stronger, you are doing great. I fucking mean it. You deserve to be healthy, and happy. I won’t detail too much publicly, but I can give you some advice – from my doctors, not just me – if you need to gain.
You do not deserve to hate yourself, starve yourself, and waste away. Do NOT give up and do NOT throw away your life. There is always going to be something to look forward to, and you will miss it if you are so sick that you could die.
I repeat: you could DIE from an eating disorder. You won’t just be “pretty and skinny”. To every single one of you suffering from one, please, please get better. To every single one of you with a loved one suffering from an eating disorder, it is not your fault if they struggle; keep supporting them and FFS, take care of yourself too.
