is it an ed thing to think of calories as such a forbidden thing to talk about outside of edtwt? in a cafe a woman said "oh that's too many calories" and i just stared at her like ARE YOU NOT EMBARRASSED???
one person i know said "it's not good to eat from big plates cause you'll end up eating more" and how do you just say stuff like that so casually when i try all day to hide that i think like that
@anticarbs
i mean at least she's honest about it instead of hiding it and saying that's it's 'healthy eating and natural beauty 😍' if she's got the money and she wants to spend it on looking good, why not
@kittiecalz
i just somehow do 😭 showering at meal times, "going to a friends house, ate there" and not doing it that often. also there's 4 children living here so they don't rly keep track
@daintyhaze
i feel like it's because media (and social media for that matter, it's the worst with "recovery influencers") act like anorexics eat nothing, literally NOTHING. maybe a piece of lettuce and a carrot once a week
@HANlDlET
obviously weight loss but also haircut, makeup, professional photography and lighting, maybe braces and possibly some plastic surgery??, and aging like 10 years
@silklbs
i'm more interested in how much they restricted to prevent binging & overeating and how long it took and how they didn't lose too much muscle etc etc, i know that it's different for everyone but still always interests me
@fatities
ok but if the "defrost my ed" is said as joke i get it. my friend's recovering and she sent me that, saying that she relates cause she feels like she's gonna relapse a lot easier since in the summer she'll have to wear a swimsuit and revealing clothing
"let's just choose where were gonna eat tomorrow before we go" no you don't understand i need to plan what i'm gonna eat tomorrow NOW!!! tomorrow is too late
@minimilisque
ikr like i get that it brings awareness but??? you could do it in a non-triggering way? EVERYONE knows how skinny some people are when they have eds, everyone knows how little some people eat, the only thing that those descriptions/pictures do are trigger us
@sadgorl
i think like half a year ago she posted one where she weighed a bit less and said that she wants to gain weight so maybe in relation to that? idk if i made this up in my mind but
@Q_k155
when we say "calories" we always mean kilocalories. so if your calorie limit for a day is 800 calories, it's actually 800 000. one calorie is sooo little that it would be dumb use it. a regular human burns like 2 000 000~ calories a day (=2 000kcal)
pro tip: when i'm craving something (like candy or chips, not food food) i eat one of these salmiakki boxes in one go. it's like a bit too much salmiakki to eat at once , so then you don't crave anything else 👍
fuck this stupid fucking brand of noodles and all that mark their calories for "prepared product" this should be illegal, bitch how the fuck am i supposed to know how much they weigh beforehand, now i don't know if i can eat these, ban this rn
@keenkgs
if anyone on twitter asks "do you perceive me as feminine, androgynous or masculine" i can 100% honestly say that its completely up to their pfp 😭
@anticarbs
yeah definitely, i really really respect people who are honest about that kind of stuff. that being said my parents pay under 40% of that for our house a year and it's a pretty big house 😀 that's rly an insane amount of money
@silklbs
seriously!!! i pretty much grew up on oatmeal you have to add milk/berries/applesauce etc. to make it taste like anything!! also salt your oatmeal
how much do people with restrictive eds usually eat?? i feel like its always portrayed as not eating anything at all for days and then maybe a fruit and idk i feel like i dont even have an ed bc of that
can we talk about how damaging it is that the picture that everyone has about restrictive eds is that everyone with one hates eating/doesn't want to eat?
it's like other countries' christmases are sugary while we have kardemum, cinnamon, mandarin, glögi, and i don't just mean food but the entire vibe, the music, food, smells, decorations, stories, traditions, how everything looks
this summer, instead of cutting out binge foods, i'm gonna let myself eat them a certain amount of times per week, and make myself eat them those times, even if i don't want to
i wish pizza didn't have so much grease on top of it because i used to love it so much but now when i eat it all i can think about is how much fat there is on top of it
for a little bit i was fine with eating more even if it meant i was kinda chubby i was in almost recovery mindset for a week and then i remembered what i look like and what i could look like
