Reconsider
Hello all , I just wanted to write this because at the moment I have some things I would like to share.
For any of you who stumble upon my message, especially if you are considering starving yourself for the sake of losing weight, I just want to let you know that it is a dangerous, and rather horrible mistake. I know you may not think so , you might look at your small , malnourished and skeletal body and think just how perfect it is. But you could not be farther from the truth. Your eyes deceive you , your mind tricks you. But it's not all your fault, especially when we live in a world where we all now skinny is better right?
I'm not saying you cannot eat healthy, but sometimes your 'healthy ' is a thought deformed by society/things you tell yourself.
And even if you aren't thin , I want to let you know just how insignificant it is regarding your soul. Yes , being comfortable and healthy is a great feeling, but then it should be done the right way. God did not intend for you to go So far as to harm your body. Your body is your temple , and it should be nourished. Perhaps you shouldn't base your self love on only how you look?
Personally I am absolutely disgusting at how I have treated my body. But I am trying my best to undo it. It just breaks my heart looking on pinterest of girls taking pictures of their legs , which don't even look like legs , only for other girls to write 'goals' in the comments . I can't stand it.
But I understand, trust me I do. It's not something that just goes away , it's not even entirely a choice. But you can make the choice to trust in God , and find true peace.
If anyone would like to talk , I'm here to listen. Even if I don't know all the answers, I will understand you.
Best wishes to all , and thank you for reading.
Hello.
I've read through your post here. Thank for taking your time to type this for anyone who may be considering starvation. It is a really disturbing phenomenon that I'd agree that society and extreme diet culture has influenced a lot of people to be at a supposedly 'ideal weight', ignoring that not everyone can be actually healthy or even cause terminal health problems for some others. And many ignore the fact that eating in itself is important, it is not really a choice; it's essential to survive. I dis
One part I noticed that you said you've seen girls taking pictures and sharing goals for weight loss. That sounds like a Pro-Ana community, some platforms allow these to be reported. So if that option is available, report that. And stay away from them, especially that you've personal experience with this and in turn, you might get tempted to do those habits again.
The thanks goes for you.(: Take care there.
Thank you for reading my post , I'm glad I seem to not have said anything upsetting. X)
Yes , I find it truly heartbreaking that so many young people , even older people , have been hurt so badly by the diet industry. And I completely agree , it's as if people think that eating is some sort of luxury? Instead of treating their bodies with the respect and nourishment they need.to live for that matter.
It was on pinterest, I'm not sure if that has a reporting option, but I can take a look.thank you for your concern , it is a bit unsettling to see it , so I rather don't pay attention.
But thank you for agreeing with me , I sense you've had your own struggles aswell? I hope you are in a well place
Thank you , mat you take care today aswell
