you know what time it is.
And here I thought reading
every other post on Bekah would save me from exodepressive episode.
Well, team CANNAE, here I go:
just tell me again, how the fuck are you recovered, exactly? Bekah? you do realise that swapping AN/BN for binge eating is still disordered eating, right? Bekah...?
I want to slap her therapist who either unable to gently guide her towards, you know, TRAUMA recovery, or simply quack and just sucks her money while smiling and patting her head for her bravery for eating on camera once again.
Get the fuck out of profession, you’re useless shit. Or, as witches do in Pratchett’s book, give her guidance veiled with positive affirmation, like “you’re getting better at feeling comfortable in your body, great job! Now, try to go for evening walks and analyse your feelings being around other people. Let’s do this 3-4 times a week for an hour, so you can properly expose yourself, and then write how you felt being your true self amidst modern society and their close minded beliefs”.
we also get this heartfelt reminder:
I’m not a video person; that’s too much for me to consume, so I prefer pics and text, and rarely watch things posted here if they don’t have subtitles.
I really shouldn’t have watch this either.
She sounds like there is a sick infant sleeping in the same room and she’s afraid to wake him up. She sounds like she’s about to cry but doesn’t want to upset whoever she talks with. She’s all smug and confident, but sounds like just left courses of “how to stand for yourself” and talks to her bully for the first time.
there's also a short course on how to avoid answering a simple question about the obvious connection between being fat and bad shit happening to your body:
If every other photo of my friend had glass or half-empty bottle in the background I would worried about their health. Anna’s thread is a good example of her unspoken alcoholism due to these things — bottle here, drinks mention there, slurry words; she does calls herself thickum, so she’s all happyfatgorl, but never ever mention alcohol; yet it’s obvious how hard it affects her health.
So yeah, props to you for not going for “but what about thins?”, however “your argument is invalid, please try again”
HAES isn’t body positivity now. Because body positivity isn’t about health. And pursue of health is an ableist thing, because unhealthy people aren’t worse than healthy.
But they are
in that chair Blanche, Bekah. They are worse
health-wise.
Fucking hell, Bek.
Fucking hell.
