I do understand. I hope you get better soon! And yes, being even 10 lbs down can seriously affect how you feel.

Oh me too. I have people asking me all the time how I did it. I almost snapped last week and answered that my friend was killed and that makes you lose your appetite for a few years, then smoke a shit load of pot to numb everything and it will and speed up your metabolism. But no munchies, in fact, no eating at all.…

Yeah, I agree. I don't want to do what she's doing (completely analyze and diagnose someone just on sight or a few sound bites) but the way she acts reminds me so much of things or feelings I've seen in myself dealing with EDs.

I'm of the opinion (based partially on my own experience and what I've seen in others) that EDs tend to be ongoing things that you learn to cope with and deal with, but that for a lot of people you don't ever really just stop being. Sort of (in not perfect, please don't kill me! analogy time) like how we think of…

You'd be amazed at how many times I got complimented for "getting healthy" and "taking better care of myself" when I was in the midst of a flaming eating disorder.

Please, please stop giving attention to this woman. From everything I've read about her and heard her say, she sounds very much like someone who is dealing with severe body image and eating disorder issues (in this article alone, I'm struck by how she calls herself average - that alone shows she doesn't have an…

Someone posted this epic takedown of Kang on my FB page once; I love it. Yes, she has built an entire career on making sure the whole world knows how much better she is than fat people, people with disabilities or physical imperfections, people who cannot or simply choose not to exercise the way she does. She's an…

Haha!! Right? I have horrible IBS, worry constantly when I eat in public that it will act up, and have pretty significant anemia that I have to constantly monitor due to it. This woman is ridiculous.

Well, I think his comments about Kim say about about colorism and its impact on black men, that that is a discussion for another day.

Yep. Yeah, totally the appropriate response to this piece. Definitely.

I think that's a WAY more succinct way of saying what I said. That's basically the entire argument right there. People see him as a celebrity and think he should be playing by celebrity rules. What they don't see is that he sees himself as a black man in a white supremacist society and he's playing by the rules he…

I have to say, I'm super over this "omg, look what the crazy black man done did now!" narrative. Lots of people don't like or understand Kanye. Cool. No problem. Can't really argue with that. But the recent coverage of his interviews has been... inflammatory, and it ticks me off. (In general on the interwebs, not you…

I can't stand him but to act like black people have the same economic power as certain groups in this country is ridiculous.

Honestly, What Kanye says is right. He may not say it in the best way. But this is the truth about the world and people just don't want to hear it. Being black sucks, because people still treat you like dirt, and act like everything is equal, so YOU must me holding yourself back.

It's good that Jessica Simpson got her body back. The pictures were terrible when she was a disembodied consciousness that floated around like a fluorescent cloud.

Yeah, if I'm not having Pinot Noir, I'm generally into Beaujolais or Malbec.

Yes! I can never get over how over inflated her cheeks are now. I notice it on a lot of people who get plastic surgery. They over exaggerate the upper cheek bone area to the point where it just makes their face look swollen and sometimes it even makes their eyes look squinty and small. *sigh*

Kanye West has destroyed Kim's face. RIP old Kim.

Boo. I'm an INFJ who would choose Pinot Noir over Cabernet any day.

More of this, please, Miley, kthx.
