BBC: I quit TikTok to avoid eating disorder relapse. “TikTok recently blocked the search for the term but Eve Jones, 23, from Cardiff, said, despite it being a step in the right direction, it ‘scratches the surface’ on a larger issue – which people can find a way around. … Despite the ban, many videos promoting ‘skinnytok’ which do not use the hashtag are still available on the app.”

My first major stumbling block: learning how to eat to fuel up for heavy workouts, but I just don’t get hungry anymore…
It’s kinda funny: I’m gonna have to work on eating more in order to lose weight and gain health. That was definitely FAR from the case before last year…

If you post about how much weight you're losing or how you're dieting, I'm not following you.
#DietCulture is toxic, harmful nonsense and i reject it. For my health and mood both.
What we weigh is not what we're worth. Fat is not a failing. Thin is not morally superior or automatically healthier.
So many people around you have or have experienced disordered eating. You're not helping.
Also please listen to Maintenance Phase.

#CW: talk of abuse, control, and food.
This morning at breakfast my partner apologized for leaving the heel* of the bread loaf for me, and I was reminded of how much my ex used to control my eating.
*there was another loaf thawing, so I could have easily eaten that instead of the heel.
I used to get a "talking-to" for:
- eating the last of anything my ex might want.
- not eating the last of anything my ex didn't want.
- asking for things I wanted (like Swiss cheese**).
- cooking something for myself that they liked.
- cooking something for myself they didn't like.
- not cooking things just the way they liked.
- eating "too much".
- being "too thin".
**earlier in my relationship with my current partner, while we were at the grocery store, they asked if there was any cheese I wanted. I said "I like Swiss" as I broke down crying, following up with "but I'm not really allowed to get it".
My current partner is amazing, and my ex is my ex for a lot of good reasons, and I'm happy-sad crying a bit this morning, and I just want anyone who this list resonates with to know they aren't alone—that's abuse, plain and simple—and you can get out too.
Here's some info on coercive control (just ignore the ad for BetterHelp, because fuck them):
