Unmasking Eating Disorders: What They Don't Want You to Know

-

Hey friends! 

🌟 If you've ever felt trapped by thoughts about food, weight, or your body, this is for you. Today we're diving into the sneaky ways eating disorders try to mess with your mind. Let's expose them together!


1. Ever-Changing Targets 🎯

You know how video game bosses get harder every time? Eating disorders are like that. They might promise you'll feel better if you hit a certain weight or skip that dessert, but once you get there, they change the rules. It's a never-ending game of chasing a "perfect" that doesn't exist.



2. The Numbers Obsession 🔢

Ever caught yourself stressing over calories, macros, or some other food number? Eating disorders LOVE this. They might even make you believe you've eaten way more than you actually have. It's like your brain playing tricks on you.



3. The "Ideal" Body Myth 💭

Eating disorders might whisper that you need to look a certain way to be liked or popular. Reality check: Bodies change. It's natural, it's cool, and it's part of growing up. Rocking confidence in your ever-changing body? Now that's real goals.



4. The Lonely Island 🏝️

Eating disorders might make you feel like you're better off alone. But real talk? They just want to keep you away from people who care. Remember, life's better with your squad.



5. The Comparison Game 🤳

Scrolling through Insta and comparing your life, body, or food choices to others? That's the eating disorder playing mind games. Your journey is unique, and so are you. No need for side-by-side comparisons!



6. "I'm Fine" Syndrome 😶

Think you're not "sick enough" for help? That's the disorder talking. Every single person deserves support and love, no matter what. Period.



7. Crushed Confidence 😔

Eating disorders are like that negative friend who always brings you down. They can dent your self-worth big time. But guess what? You're amazing just as you are. Full stop.



8. Distorted Mirror Views 🪞

Ever feel like what you see in the mirror doesn't match how you feel inside? That can be a sign of an eating disorder teaming up with body dysmorphia. Regularly checking yourself out and feeling bad? Time to break that cycle.



TLDR;

Eating disorders might seem like they've got power, but once you know their tricks, you're already winning the battle. You're so much stronger than you think, and you deserve to live a life filled with joy, self-love, and yummy treats! 🍩🍦🍕 

Always remember: You're a star, and no disorder can dim your shine. ✨

Hey my dear friends!   Today we are discussing something super important – mental health & fairness. Why are we talking about #fairness when life is anything but fair? Well see that's the point of this mini post/ rant. We CAN'T ignore the inequalities in our society, especially when it comes to MH issues. Let's imagine for a second that our society is like a puzzle. Puzzles come in boxes and all of the pieces are all mixed up. So what do you do? You start sorting pieces by edges, colors, & even shapes. Once you have your groups, you can start placing similar edges together, usually starting with corners and building from there. After you have the frame or the boarder, you can then begin to place the inner pieces together and create your masterpiece. But what happens when you start getting to end, and you notice something, some of the pieces are missing, leaving you unable to complete your puzzle. You check to make sure that there are no floating puzzle pieces on the
