Thanks for this. A little off topic but... it's interesting to note how women with different EDs are depicted on the screen. Anorexics are vulnerable and beautiful and still the ingenue, yet a compulsive over eater/binger will be shown quite differently.

V. true. remember that Marya HOrnbacker book, Wasted? That became a how-to manual at my high school/college.

Yes. I recall watching an after-school special about anorexia when I was an overweight teen and thinking to myself, “Sign me up!” I was bullied terribly for my weight and actually envied the anorexic girl in the show.

Fast forward 5 or so years, I was hospitalized for anorexia and continued to battle that and bulimia…

Ew this shit reminds me of those hideous bags people used to be fucking obsessed with

A well-timed cup of coffee before a long run is a necessity for me. Gets things moving on my schedule. An ill timed cup of coffee is disaster looking for a place to happen.

On a related note, for anyone looking to make a fantastic peasant dish with onions and lentils, I would strongly recommend giving mujaddara a shot:

I've lost 15 pounds from illness and stress. Everyone keeps telling me how great I look. Then they ask me my "secret". Depending on who's asking, my response is usually somewhere along the lines of "diarrhea, nausea, depression and crippling anxiety." Sometimes, if I'm feeling sassy, I do jazz hands and say,…

We aren't really in life-threatening danger until our secondary sexual characteristics disappear and his wang gets sad.

I still had DD cups while anorexic. I was also pale and couldn't stand without blacking out a little. Oh and there was the fun time my heart almost gave out on me at 14 and I was hospitalized for most of my grade 12 year. But yeah, all the dudes thought I was super beautiful. Seriously, get over your boner.

I have a policy of never bringing somebody's weight up to them unless they're the one who starts the conversation. You can't tell by looking at someone what the reason for a weight loss or gain is and there's a good chance they don't give a fuck what I or anyone else thinks of their body anyway.

One time a guy I worked with saw some old pics of mine, when I exercised a lot and barely ate and dropped like close to 20 lbs from 140ish (I didn't have a scale, so I had no idea how much I'd lost... funny thing was, I still looked the same to myself the entire time) and he was like "wow, you were like, really hot…

how the fuck are you an approved commenter

Bodies are weird and people's thoughts and comments about them are even weirder.

I was talking to my dad the other day about how each time I fell into starving myself, the compliments I would get about my weight would skyrocket. To all the "wow, you look great!" complimenters I wanted to reply, "thanks! I don't eat hardly at all!" It's sad that people find a chubby body so repulsive.

This. Not to mention the fact that anthropologists and evolutionary psychologists aren't necessarily all in sync with the "we evolved to be polyamorous" theory. There are a few different schools of thought that say a few different things.

Don't forget the condescending nature of that idea, which is that people who aren't poly are either in denial or less "evolved."

It's very nice that you found an environment in which you are happy, but I do wish people would stop deferring to evolution every single time. The people who write books and push the idea that humans "evolved" or "didn't evolve" to be monogamous or play football or drive a Toyota Cressida do so with very flimsy…

THAT CLOCK.

J Crew swim suits are great, if for no other reason than that they come in bra sizes and are true to size. Nothing crazier than trying to buy an underwire swim top in S, M or L.
