Показать описание
Eating Disorder Awareness Week is a national campaign that works to raise awareness about eating disorders and provide resources. NEDA also known as the National Eating Disorders Association started back in 2001 to bring awareness and help to those who didn't know what was happening to their bodies. The most common forms of eating disorders include Anorexia, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder and PICA.

Special thanks to Suzanna, a local fan who helped make me realized I once had an eating disorder and hearing her story on her current situation.

Some imperfect NOTES

1. TALKING ABOUT YOUR BODY
- people with an eating disorder are extra sensitive
- don't compare them with yourself
- they'll consider it as criticism

2. FORCE- FEEDING
- their minds are controlled by their eating disorders
- they have lost sense of proper serving of food
- so force-feeding will them more cautious and fearful about the meal

3. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
- saying that triggers those people
- it seems like you're trivialising what they're going through

4. YOUR DIET
- don't share your diet as it will make those people compare to you
- they might feel more guilty about eating

5. YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE AN EATING DISORDER
- EATING disorders are incidious, they're not obvious until it's too late
- this makes recovery even harder for them
- they might look normal but are fragile inside

Hope you all are healthy in this wired time of the world 🤞

I actually have an eating disorder, and I fully agree, when ppl say or do these it’s so annoying and even insulting

Its scary how our mind can twist things so much that it even affects our needed intake of nutrients.

"Ive seen you eat. You dont have it. Stop acting."

"You always make a big deal out of nothing."

"Its just food. Just eat. Jeez."

"You may be skinny but you dont have an eating disorder."

"So and so ACTUALLY struggles."

"Why are you destroying yourself? Dont you care about me?!"

"I wont eat unless you do."


Stop it. Think about your words.

I litterally cried while watching this. I cant tell you how many times people have told me "just eat it's not hard." People have gotten mad at me. And I HATE when people talk about the keto diet or detox blah blah blah. So triggering for me because I do compare myself. I even get mad when other people lose weight even if they are overweight and it's good that they are. I get mad because they are and I'm not. Sorry for the rant but this video hit very close to home for me. Btw only you understand what you go through nobody else. Everyones experiences are different. Spot on with the top 5!

1. Talking about your body
2. force them to eat more
3. saying that you know what they're going through, when you really don't
4. Talking about your diet
5. Telling them they don't look like they have an ED

My mom said “there’s so much more out there to worry about” and that just made me feel like my feelings aren’t even valid. She doesn’t know I’m struggling but it still hurts
