One of the finest displays of instinctual food agression I’ve seen. I’ve seen pit bulls fight for their food less

The biggest thing should be getting over whatever trauma is causing you to not to eat or eat way too damn much. Bekah went through rehab for anorexia and she just went in the opposite direction is now morbidly obese.

I more meant if you can't avoid the reason like if you can't escape an abusive situation easily or it's medication related. Eating disorders are slow and difficult to fix, it isn't mutually exclusive to work on slowly eating more while also working through a problem. More than that, some of the possible triggers may not be outright trauma, but stress like Eugina, where they feel they have no control of their life which again, can be difficult to escape if your finances are being controlled for you for whatever reason.

I hope this is not a repost, but there was an update regarding Tammy Lemon from early October on her IG, this time from Tammy herself:
Curious about how much she gained, because she definitely did.

Why does she need to compress anything if she loves herself as she is? Chub rub, isn't that some sort of patriarchal myth?

I'm surprised she didn't bite him for trying to steal her food.

Maybe she really is enrolled in a serious treatment programme. Or maybe I'm
and she's just eating.

>weight loss is not sustainable
Uh yeah. That’s literally the point dumbass. If you could do it forever it wouldn’t be called weight loss

That's why I worry about Brye.
She also is in recovery, but she too does this weird exhibitionist shit.
What's modern ED treatment even like? I know it's never been great, but it seems like you'd get better advice form /fit/ at this point.

Almost every therapist believes EDs are caused by 'trauma' and so ED treatment typically involves treating the 'trauma' even if it doesn't exist. Brain over Binge is a good book that details how the stereotypical trauma assumption makes a lot of EDs worse and it's why success rates of recovery are so low. I imagine it's even worse now because therapists are currently obsessed with trauma. You can see that reflected on TikTok where EvErYtHiNg iS TrAuMa.
From the food intake side of things, it's always intuitive eating--which doesn't work for binge eating disorder or bulimia. The fullness cues in binge eaters and bulimics are broken, so they just end up becoming obese (or more obese). So then they get Ozempic (probably). It has more success with anorexics who still have hunger and fullness cues, but forgot how to recognize them.

When you’re at the level of posting underpants videos on TikTok with your gunt flowing around a dressing room for fat points, more advanced than typical intervention is required to turn things around.

This Tiktok is why we should have never let the tailor die.
It used to be quite easy to buy a pair of pants, dress, whatever, that fit you in the biggest spots, then go to a tailor who would take in the rest for you. A lot of these people don't want to pay the extra money for their throw away fashion though. Also it just looks like she's trying on pants that are 2 sizes too small on purpose.
She should be happy she didn't grow up in the 80s where the jeans weren't flexible or stretchy at all.

That's funny, because of all the HAES people I have seen who did get ED treatment, I didn't notice any trauma therapy. They either went in the opposite direction like Bekah, or they constantly preach to fatties what they learned in treatment while refusing to get fat like William. All they learned is it's okay to eat, the world won't end if they do and they aren't fat, so they should say yes to indulging because the point is to get them from being underweight to a healthy weight. You don't get severely underweight or to 300 plus lbs if you don't have trauma of some sort.

The specifics of programs differ, but what we're generally seeing here is people taking good advice to extremes never intended, misapplying concepts, and generally taking words and concepts that are valid when used correctly and twisting them to fit their own agendas. My guess is that they know that a particular term or practice has accepted therapeutic or treatment applications and use that to their advantage.
We all agree that dealing with trauma is generally good, right? But that's not what they're doing in this thread: they're using trauma as a cudgel to wield at anyone who suggests their behavior is wildly unhealthy and inappropriate. That's not "dealing with trauma." It's turning trauma into a reason no one can question you.
Or take the "there are no bad foods" advice. The concept really doesn't mean "eat whatever you want, whenever you want it." It was used for anorexics who have developed insanely rigid ideas about good vs bad foods and who need help getting out of their black and white mindsets around food. It means eating a cookie, white flour, or whatever food you have arbitrarily decided is "bad" isn't going to going to make you into a whale overnight and ruin your life forever and possibly also make your loved ones die.
I agree, and this is part of the overall problem with what they're doing: they're co-opting concepts that were developed for restrictive eating disorders and trying to make them apply to BED or to bulimia (or, as in this thread, to general overeating). There was-- and still is, to a degree-- a tendency to try to address all eating disorders with the same set of skills, and it doesn't work because the disorders are all distinctly different. The types of people we get in this subforum, though, are trying to co-opt the restrictive ED skills because that's what they want to hear, and they dovetail the message they're sending-- but they don't work to treat the problems in question.
No one in the deathfats forum is doing anything that works, because (waves hand generally). The bone-rattling anachans who claim to espouse HAES and intuitive eating are just paying lip service and claiming to live out these principles to justify that they're totally doing what they're supposed to be doing, and it's just a coincidence that they're gaining no weight!
Ironically, you probably never even notice the people who are successfully accepting their bodies, eating intuitively, and so on, because they're well-adjusted enough that they simply integrate the principles into their everyday lives without a song and dance (literal singing and dancing, in the case of TikTok).

If you have an unhealthy body that is literally killing you because of your excessive adipose tissue, it's your duty make peace with it.
But if you have a healthy female body that you are uncomfortable with because of trauma or perceived societal roles, you must start drugging yourself and lopping parts off immediately, or else you will inevitably kill yourself.
I guess it's only really inconsistent on the surface, since fundamentally both of these are based on the same thing (deep denial, and the belief that you can argue your way out of physical reality).

Of course not because those people have no need to advertise or tell people why dieting is bad. It's only attention whores that need to post about these things on social media.

Yeah, if even people as huge as Ash Nischuk and Anna O'Brien can find pants that they can at least put on, there's no way that a person like Brye couldn't buy some jeans that accommodate her gunt and have them tailored to fit the rest of her. She's obese, sure, but in many areas of flyover country Middle America, she wouldn't even merit a second glance because of her size.
I suspect this is all performative, and she intentionally made a show of trying on jeans that she knew were too small. I'm not sure whether she's trying to get asspats and solidarity from the HAES crew or if it's intended to be some kind of fat fetish struggleporn.
I think most normal people, regardless of their weight or motivation, would not share footage of themselves like this. Fitting rooms are notorious for harsh lighting and unflattering mirrors, and even very thin and fit women don't look their best in that setting. Whatever your size, forcing yourself to try on clothes that you know won't fit, much less recording the event to share publicly online, just seems like obnoxious self-flagellation for attention. Grow a pair, get some bigger pants, and move on with your life. Fuckin' hell, Brye.

Spa got called on their funding shit today. People realized that they were being tricked into thinking the funding was actually going towards the project when in reality they are taking the money to try to prove to investors that people want it. They have also admited the 2nd fundraiser they are planning in 2026 is for the same goal of obtaining money to prove there is a want.
This was all in response to this post where they act like they are already running the spa.
And they released a message about the war going on:
