Body dysmorphia is like walking through a fun house and thinking all the mirrors are an actual representation of your reflection (and, thus, self-worth). By @decade2doodles⁠

Body checking begets more body checking and negative self-image. If you find yourself pinching, mirror checking, measuring via your jeans or otherwise, then see if you can find a distraction. Create something called "cognitive distance" from the negative thought. You might find it can help redirect negative body image and eventually help deal with those thoughts and behaviors.⁠

You can't tell if someone has an eating disorder based on their body shape and size!⁠
.⁠
For instance, if folks in larger bodies aren't eating and nutrient deficient (i.e. starving), they still have anorexia despite not being at lower weight. Their bodies are compensating for not having any fuel on board which can compromise organs just like they would in thinner people.⁠
.⁠
On the flip side, there are plenty of thin folks who binge eat or have bulimia who you may not know deal with these issues. Just because they don't weigh more doesn't mean they're "healthy" (just like being at a higher weight doesn't mean someone is "unhealthy"). ⁠
.⁠
Last bit: you don't have to be a certain weight or meet some arbitrary list of medical criteria to be "sick enough" to have an eating disorder. Everyone's body is different. If the distress is there and it's impacting your life, then it's worth treating (and yes, that includes being on restrictive diets even if they're not technically labeled an eating disorder).⁠

This quote is by Hilary Kinavey from @benourishedpdx⁠
.⁠
"There will always be fat people. The fact that we have a cultural 'witch hunt' to eradicate fatness is making life very unliveable for anyone who has learned to be afraid of fatness or actually lives in a fat body."⁠

Just a short list of reasons the BMI is lazy medicine.⁠

The brain is wired for survival. Undernourishment affects everything--including our ability to make decisions, process information, and have a stable mood. Stay nourished, friends!⁠

YOU ARE AMAZING and it doesn't matter that you don't have fifty certifications or degrees or that your hair won't do what you want it to or that your butt doesn't look how it did yesterday in the mirror. GO GET THIS DAY!⁠
