Part 10! The last one is EWWW 🤮 #toxic #chinese #culture #beautystandard #language

[giovannao.p.]

A whole brand profiting from How that's even legal 🤬

[Nejliika]

These aren't toxic beauty standards anymore, it's lethal beauty standards

[marashea]

as a recovering bulimic, that last one is so dangerous i can't believe it's even being advertised. Throwing up like that can and will cause permanent damage to your throat and mouth, along with stomach ulcers. It can and will kill you.
i feel sorry for any girls or guys tricked by these products

EDIT: thank you for all the well wishes, i recently hit 10 months of recovery ill be hitting a year in april. To anyone struggling with en ED, recovery is possible, it will not be fun, it will not be easy but it will be worth it, there is so much more to life than your body or your weight and you deserve to enjoy it without fear of changes. Sending love to all <3

im Chinese. I was recovering from serious depression and gained weight because my appetite was getting better. My father suggested me to stop taking antidepressants since he reasoned that antidepressants made me fat. Later that year I lost my appetite again and lost 60 pounds in 8 months. My bone hurt, I have no energy to do anything, but everyone in my family congratulated me. So yeah of course on top of my depression I developed Ed too
Edit: I just realized I wasn’t very clear about what happened. I didn’t end up giving up on antidepressant even tho my father was urging me to do so, it was just that later that year my condition went worse, that’s why I lost weight, not because I stopped taking medication. and for anyone who’s undertaking mental health issues like I do, please follow your doctor’s order - it’s very dangerous to stop taking medication on your own (or under the advice of family members who dont have medical training

[SophTumbleweed]

soooo, eating disorders?? 🤨
It's so sad that Chinese women have to go through all that to fit the unrealistic standards imposed by society

[clubentertainmentofficial]

At this point it's not toxic, it's deadly

[tot.taxi.]

the last one suggesting to be bulimic is actually insane 😭💀

[alirak]

How to get yourself an ED: speedrun. 🤦

[giannaberetta]

As a med student the 16+8 fasting is actually beneficial for your body! Even if you don't want to lose weight it helps with hormonal imbalance, chronic fatigue and bloating. Of course is not for everyone, you have to ask a nutritionist before, but I personally love it.

I am recovered anorexic-bulimic, I just want you all to know not only is vomiting as a method of purging (bc let’s me honest that’s what that tube thing is, it’s purging) EXTREMELY ineffective for “losing weight”, it’s harmful in SO many ways I can’t explain to you. It causes (these are not just short term btw, most of these are long term issues you will live with), but it causes blood sugar level issues, teeth loss/decay, irritation and actual erosion of your esophagus and vocal folds, erosion of stomach lining causing gastric tears or rupture, lymphatic inflammation (very painful) and lymphatic issues in general from the glands being overworked, neck and cheek inflammation which can cause long term puffiness of cheeks and neck and it can be very severe puffiness for a long time, digestive issues and stomach ph issues bc your stomach is in the middle of trying to create the right acidic levels to digest the food once you begin chewing (why chewing and spitting is also bad it can mess your stomach up very bad over time), and while that food is about to be or being digested, you throw your stomach an uno reverse and take it out, now it’s got too much acid with no food to dissolve and is inflamed on top of that.
I just wanted to put this together to deter anyone from beginning this habit/addiction. There are EVEN MORE health and cosmetic issues that bulimic purging this method can cause (and don’t go looking for other methods bc they all have MUCH more downsides than upsides, if there are even upsides at all to any eating disorder method) All eating disorders need light shone on them so people can avoid building these habits and building the scary and sad self thoughts, beauty expectations, and self worth issues from society. Love yourself y’all, in the deepest sense of the word, hold unconditional love for your soul and personality and who you ARE not just what you do or look like, who you ARE, and that is the best habit you could build for true self content happiness

The first one is pretty common and can actually help in certain cases. It's called intermittent fasting, and if you think about it, it just means you skip breakfast. It's a great thing to do to train your body to regulate glucose level more efficiently, as long as you eat enough during the 8 hour window it's harmless.

[brian]

I don’t mind light fasting but the throwing up food is crazy on all levels and dangerous

[Sursie_Metzger]

As someone who was bulimic for many years this is terrifying. The group chats remind me exactly of the pro anorexia and bulimia websites and blogs that I was on during my worst moments. When you’re in that dark of a place mentally and physically, you don’t realize how horrible the behaviors and habits are until you’re no longer actively using them to cope etc or how screwed up it is that people actively encourage it because they’re also unwell and in need of help. It’s beyond heartbreaking to see such desperate measures being taken in countries around the world to fit into such sad and unhealthy beauty standards. 😢

[ToastnotKnown]

The "rabbit tube" one is just insane. I also think that people don't realize bulimia can seriously damage your throat bc of the stomach acid :/ (obviously among the fact it's a LITERAL life threatening ed)

[hellhound_haunt]

Death by vomiting is literally a thing. The fact that that tube is called "Fresh Lady" to make it seem "fresh" and "healthy" is horrible. This is literally encouraging EDs. It's unbelievable how toxic a majority of these beauty standards are 😬😬😬

[MaryArts]

It is so weird to me, that so many people in countries like south korea, china etc. think, they are fat. While we foreigners in their eyes are whales. Like can't they math 1+1 together and see, that if over 50% of the population is bigger than them, then maybe that is medium and not whale. Therefore they are not fat. Like if I run around and see that everyone is bigger than me, how can I think that I am not at least medium? Why should I lose weight when I am the thinnest one around?
I know it is called body dismorphia and annorexia for a reason, but it is just so sad how it seen as a normal mindset in eastasian countries...

[idubidubi]

First was intermittent fasting which's fine to do. But the last one made me feel sad for chinese people

[updownleftrightasdw]

That first one is called intermittent fasting. Also ive personally lost 30lbs (14kilo) in 3 weeks. I went from 210lbs~100kg down to 180lbs ~87kg

[keho.]

Guys, I went through that. Now I don't have half of a stomach, I have heart issues, I have anemia, I'm always ill, I'm fainting a lot and etc. And guess what? I don't have that "ideal" body I wanted even though I lost some kilograms, I have only suffering.
Never do anything close to it. Please, watch your health and love your body. I don't want any of you to suffer like me. I hope someday there will be laws against that toxic beauty standards.

Upd: now I'm officially a disabled person ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

[amxalik]

Whoa. These standards are getting out of hand. As someone who has a hard time eating, and it has messed up my menstruation cycle. I am worried about these girls!!
