You SHOULDN'T say this | Eating Disorder RECOVERY | Weight GAIN journey

[@Flauschbally]

Thank you so much. I admire you so much for doing this. Going all in and sharing your story here on youtube. Thank you... I am just building up the courage to start my own journey.

This was such a good video…. You hit the nail on the head. As someone who is struggling with bulimia and I think another form of ED (obsessive macro fracking) …. It’s good to see someone who is recovering. It gives me hope ♥️

This should be shared around so many people. In fact I think it should be shared among even people who don't have an eating disorder label as the world is so messed up with diet culture and talk. I feel like I was really lucky to never get bulimia based on being underweight for so long but I also never had a label for my ed as anorexia was not quite fitting. My weight has stabilised for years and what I notice about this is that people tend to assume you're great judging on appearance. People who knew me sick always continue to talk about weight food and looks around me and also just in general which is not in a malicious or even conscious way but it shows how people forget when you look normal. At the same time as I used to be significantly underweight I feel like people generally look me up and down to see what my body looks like and sadly don't really hide that they do this. Again probably very unintentionally but it's hard to not care sometimes. I think in general people should stop mentioning size and dieting and other people's size and diets as surely this could just normalise everything so much more for everyone. Brilliant video. 😊

So true- people develop a perception of you and then don’t ever see you as anything else. The world is definitely diet talk crazy and I really don’t think some people realize just how harmful that kind of talk can be. Sending all the love

All of the wisdom that you shared illuminates the need for us to organize and be activist against DIET CULTURE. It has permeated our healthcare, educational, social, family and financial systems. I know this sounds crazy, but Diet Culture needs to hit the road. I’d love to organize some education and support for anti-diet programs.

Amen! These words can all be so triggering. Even if you feel you’ve come a long way in recovery and have a better relationship to food and your body and mindset, these can really take you aback and you have to work so hard to work through it. Just don’t comment on peoples bodies or food consumption, there are so many other wonderful things to talk about!

Why do people have eating disorders?

[@estijosephine2029]

I don’t think there’s a correct answer to that question. It’s a mental illness like any other. One can try put a stamp on it and say “this is why” but I think it’s so different for everyone.

@@estijosephine2029 ok thanks. Do sufferers who are dangerously skinny for example, see themselves as too skinny, or do they see how they are as looking good?
