Yes. This.

This so much. As someone who’s dealt with an ED for 15 years (both visibly and not so much), I long for a film or show that depicts people with EDs first as people - and not some human-ish vessel for a cartoonish caricature of an ED. The biggest reason I’ve been reticent to discuss my own struggle with friends is the…

It’s stupid as hell, though. If you have a healthy body that isn’t perfect but, again, is HEALTHY, and you want to enjoy that cookie, do it now, my friend, because someday you won’t have that chance.

My husband’s grandma (82) does this. It’s not, like, an extraordinary amount, but it’s enough to be noticeable and a little bit weird/sad. She’ll just make little offhand comments about how she doesn’t “need” anymore food, or how she should “reduce,” etc. Over the Memorial Day weekend, she said to my sweet and tender…

And I’m an Old, so.... I made the cardinal mistake of asking what Keo Diet was, and when they described it to me, I said “Oh! So it’s just Atkins again! I remember my sister doing that 25 years ago. She gained it all back.” :D

Men have a “meal plan” not a “diet.” It makes them sound like athletes.

I’m fat. When I got my current job working with grad students, it was eye-opening and nice how different the attitude towards food was. No food-shaming or body-shaming, everyone gets excited about free food, and no one thinks twice about offering the fat lady a cookie. I hadn’t thought my previous job had very much…

Don’t kid yourself, it’s creeping up like kudzu on men too, and for the very sound business reason of feminism making women both more reluctant to blindly follow dieting orders and the resentment successful women feel at having to be a “10" for men who are out of shape (see: Dump.)

In one of Geneen Roth’s early books she talks about having a sudden overwhelming craving for chocolate and was up, shoes on, jacket and keys at the ready in order to go out and get a candy bar in thirty seconds. When she stopped and asked herself why she wanted the chocolate, she figured out she was lonely and the…

Yep. Hell, the new Ghostbusters inspired a new movie test in some online circles I’m in called the Pizza Test: a group of women in a film are eating something other than salads or health foods and absolutely no one comments on their weight, about diets, or the healthiness of the food. They just eat the food like it’s…

I’m pretty sure Collins said she chose to do it BECAUSE of her experience.

You have a vivid and highly knackered imagination! Think of me as Hedonism Bot with a small side hobby! ;)

Oh Jesus can you see my eyes rolling? We are having a discussion online. Nobody is demanding shit from anyone else, C’mon. You are way overthinking all of this and tone policing at that. This was a conversation between family members, both of whom affected by HIV with results separated by generations. It’s totally…

Your point is fair, but I stood as surrogate father for all three of my nephews. In the same way that a parent can make observations about the way their child absorbs and reacts to information around them and makes decisions based on that, I wonder what is going on in his head and try to get a sense of that. I never…

You forgot ‘born’. These anti-abortion assholes only care about life BEFORE it’s born. Once you’re out, you’re on your own, motherfucker.

True. And I have noticed him (Coop) visibly getting bitchier by the day with these people. AND I LOVE IT.

Now I’m generally on the side of ignoring and isolating narcissists and the like from the rest of society.

In Trumpworld, he is. The boss sees him make fun of CNN and thinks he’s doing a bang up job.

I think for Gorka it may be a lack of self-awareness. He’s mocking CNN, so he thinks he’s winning.

I feel like they’re all privileged, spoiled white frat boys trying to talk they’re way out of a frat party sexual assault, especially that dodgy don 2.0!
