Eating disorders and what fatties think they are I had an eating disorder for 10+ years. Was not caused by seeing skinny models in the media, rather by a messed up childhood and a need to be in control of something in my life. I used tumblr as a way to recover, and I had three separate accounts shut down for promoting negative behaviours. Now, we have all these tumblrs of fats saying how they're gorgeous and healthy and they're celebrated, while legitimate eating disorders are reduced to "skinny bitch wants to be thinner because television" or "I didn't eat for a day I was soooooo unwell".  How the fuck do they not see that while sure, you don't want models with a 14 BMI being 'normal', but if you think that causes eating disorders WHY is it ok to have a size 22 ham promoting obesity? Anorexia may kill people fairly quickly if left untreated, and it's an awful disease, but objectively obesity is more widespread, more damaging to the individual and society as a whole. Hashtag eff your double standards.
