I love a good spoof but for these people I only have three words: pot, kettle, black.
Do what you want and, from the bottom of my heart, I’m really pleased if you feel better on ozempic and friends but we don’t want to see people having lost lots of weight rapidly telling us how silly we are to want to be healthier in January.
It’s simply hypocritical.

2016 is back apparently and so what? I’m probably too old for this trend because, frankly, 2016 feels like yesterday and not a lot has changed.
I live in the same house, do the same job and even still wear that bikini.
I have older children, some more wrinkles and grey hair now but otherwise I’m not that different.
I’m glad for you if you have transformed your life but let’s also not dismiss consistency. I know it’s not as sexy but you don’t always need to overhaul your life, it’s ok to make little tweaks along the way.
The real changes have happened inside, stealthily without anyone noticing. Those ten years have brought me more clarity about who I am, what I want and don’t want, a lot more confidence, self acceptance, understanding that that letting go is sometimes a relief and the courage to close the door on people whose actions don’t match their words.
In ten years time that bikini will probably haven given up the ghost, I’ll have more wrinkles, more grey hair and adult children but I hope I’ll still be learning about myself and curious for more.

Anyone relates?

Yes, absolutely, weight restoration is crucial but that alone won’t get you to recovery.
What you also need to do is understand how the fire started and what role it played in making you feel better.
To find the purpose of your ED you need to ask yourself: what am I worried of losing if I let it go?

Oops, I posted this out loud.
I’d like to know who invented bagel thins so that I could give them a piece of my mind. It’s a totally pointless invention! What we like in bagels is the pillowy chewy texture, which you can’t achieve if the bagel is so thin that you have nothing to chew.
And for what? To save a few calories? Like that’s actually going to make a difference in the grand scheme of things.
Thin bagels are not only pointless but also harmful as they perpetuate the idea than less is better. An insult to our intelligence.
Thin bagels are like champagne without bubbles, it’s just wine i.e., not as good 💅🏻

If you want to get stronger and not get injured, you need to fuel properly.
I hate it to say but I’m going to say it anyway: would you expect your car to take you on a long journey without fuel? Thought not.

This is the real reason recovery is so scary.

As a mum, and especially as a mum of boys, I worry about this constant pressure to “hit our protein goals”.
Yes, protein is important but we don’t need nearly as much as some “experts” on here claim. I’d even go as far as saying that getting too much could be harmful both to our physical and mental health.
I’m well aware one can’t get addicted to protein but one can get addicted to the idea of having the perfect body, a lean and muscular frame, which is (apparently) currency when it comes to being attractive as a man.
At least with drugs, my kids get lots of chats about it at school. Protein, over-exercising, body dysmorphia, orthorexia? Not so much.

You know me, I love words and I think this is an important distinction to make.
Tell me what you think.

My take on fasting.
Total no-no if you have even a whiff of disordered eating. It’s only going to end up badly, probably with a full blown ED.
Not against for the others. However, I would still exert caution because fasting naturally invites dichotomous thinking and can easily be a springboard for binge eating. I would also question whether it’s really needed. If you are someone who needs to lose weight, could you do it differently? Try fasting in between in your meals for a start: it’s less anti-social and less of a strain.
Fasting isn’t magical in its own right and definitely not so if you end up becoming obsessed with food.
