Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good

diet culture people make me feel like i’m going crazy. you want me to take an experimental pill that destroys my appetite?? you want me to remove part of my stomach??? you want me to stop eating bread and rice, two of the staple foods most inherent to humanity????? why exactly? because my stomach is big? because you don’t like the way i look, and you think it’s reasonable to tell me to carve pieces off of myself and try random drugs and ruin my own life so i can look more visually pleasing to you? and you somehow don’t see how absurdly cruel and selfish that is to ask of somebody???? while pretending you care about their HEALTH????????????????? FUCK YOU!!!!

it's 100% crucial that anywhere you see or hear the word "calories" you mentally replace that with "energy" and you will see how insane everyone in the world is acting for no reason

You have to wonder how older celebrities using weight loss drugs are living. In your 20s you can get away with being emaciated. Your body works hard to keep itself alive (although consequences come later). But once you get older, your body cannot manage stress the same. One of these emaciated elder celebrities is going to drop dead at some point.

Here’s to everyone who was doing better, but has hit a rough period. It’s okay. You will be okay, you just gotta hang in there. Steps backs happen, and you are not going backwards. You still have your strenght and all that you have learned that can help you get back on your feet, and better days will reach you, right now you just gotta hang on and wait for the storm to pass enough for you to feel like you can get up and move forwards. 🌸

sometimes i will see a piece of art depicting a dark and stormy night and i will see a post that's like "if you look closely, you can see it is a dark and stormy night, consequently the tone we should read is that of a dark and stormy mood....very clever!" and everyone will be like :0! i didn't think about it that way! and i have to physically restrain myself from being a huge cunt online for no reasons about something that literally does not matter even a little bit. but it weights on me

and not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but another reason I hate the return of 2000’s th*nspo shit is bc starving does make women frail and has longer term consequences like early osteoporosis, brittle bones/teeth, insomnia, ect. Your muscles will start eating themselves. It also makes you extremely emotional and severely lowers your capacity for critical thinking not bc you’re a girl but because your brain isn’t getting any fucking nutrients so idk I just feel like its very convenient that every time there’s an uptick in fascist rhetoric and women’s rights are being stripped suddenly it’s peak fashion for women to be starving, weak, and exhausted
