FFS, she's still claiming ARFID? Corissa, you fucking liar. I swear to god, what the fuck is wrong with you (oh, wait—NPD; nvm).
No, Corissa. NO. Your wound-collecting followers, who are so happy to self-diagnose themselves with anything that absolves them of responsibility for the state of their lives and bodies may buy it, but I sure as fuck don't.
ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder; that name alone should tell you what a fucking lie this is in Corissa's case) is diagnosed in childhood. Kids who have it basically starve themselves and fail to thrive, due to severe aversions to all but a few foods, if that. They also have a general disinterest in eating at all. Some also have anxieties about choking or vomiting that are so severe they can't eat.
It's more commonly seen in autistic kids and kids with developmental disabilites. But most autistic kids with sensory issues about food will ask for and willingly eat acceptable foods when they're hungry; ARFID kids have to be coaxed to eat even their few "safe" foods, no matter how long its been since they last ate.
Most ARFID kids outgrow it, but occasionally some continue to manifest symptoms of it into adulthood, and when they do, guess what is not a clinical sign?
Obesity.
Adults with ARFID, who can self-manage it, are still thin. They don't enjoy food; they don't enjoy thinking about or preparing it; and will often rely heavily on liquid meal replacements. They don't show off the snack shelf in their pantries, or meals at their hipster friends' farm-to-table restaurant, or go on about all the great food and snacks they're providing at Fat Camp. Those who can't self-manage very well, and don't have someone around who ensures they get adequate caloric and nutritional intake, are underweight, and often dangerously so, with a lot of the same physical problems severe anorexics have.
In the very few old photos of Corissa, pre-fattening, she is never thin enough to suggest ARFID. Even at her thinnest, she's not skinny. I don't know if she's ever posted pics of herself as a child, but I'm going to bet that they show a perfectly normal-looking kid, which would not be the case if she had ARFID.
The closest Corissa has ever been to a restrictive eating disorder was in her teens and early 20s, when she kept going on stupid, harsh, unsustainable diets, because that's what most young women do before they figure out that it doesn't work. She was not anorexic; just dumb.
And since her mid-20s, when she swung hard the other way, gave up on being thin, and started eating whatever the fuck she wanted with no regard for consequence, she has clearly had no trouble eating, has never avoided any foods to an unhealthy and obsessive degree, has eaten a wide variety of foods with different flavors and textures, and has eaten enough of them to become obese and cause harm to her body that now has to be managed with pharmaceuticals, because she sure as shit isn't giving up eating whatever the fuck she wants, whenever she wants it.
ARFID is a nightmare to deal with for the parents of kids afflicted with it, and it's an ongoing struggle for adults who still have it (and their caregivers), and this fat bitch is telling us she has to be encouraged to eat because ARFID? There isn't enough "Fuck you, Corissa" in this world to cover the contempt I feel for her.
