Three mint tea bags

1 tbsp of tumeric

1 tsp of cayenne pepper

-boost metabolism and helps reduce hunger

5 tbsp of apple cider vinegar (with mother) (this is a really low amount cause I fucking hate the taste lol but you can have up to 14 tbsp)

me: *updates my fitness pal, tumblr bio, announces it on every social media and to every ana buddy, calculates new bmi, does body checks,,,*

scale: *shows ive gained 5kg*

me:

and like honestly? i have anorexia but this is why i constantly talk about the dangers of the “health and fitness” industry and diet culture bc we have essentially normalized certain symptoms of disordered eating but it’s ok if it’s under the guise of health i guess???

like how is calling it “clean” eating NOT a way to moralize food

how is intermittent fasting NOT the same thing as skipping meals

how come when i buy clothes that don’t fit, it’s something i have to tell my therapist about because it means i am putting pressure on myself to fit into them, but if a “normal” person does it then it’s just motivation for them?

where is the fucking line???

and more importantly when are we going to start acknowledging that the entire world is pro-ana but that’s too harsh of a description so we slap some health buzzwords on it to make it palatable

when are we going to take responsibility for encouraging disordered behavior instead of labeling those of us with EDs as the crazy/imbalanced ones
