My eyes move involuntarily, each one swinging to its own music. They’ve danced this way for as long as I can remember. I can’t see it myself, but the jeering kids let me know. The adults nudging me to wear sunglasses let me know. And trolls certainly let me know. Thread 1/5 
Our society criminalizes #disability. Countless books & films allege eyes reveal a person’s soul, then deliberately give the evil characters abnormal eyes. Not all of them, of course, but enough to influence the public’s perception of eyes like mine. #Ableism 2/5
The #blind community has many stories of police glancing at our eyes & immediately assuming intoxication, illegal substance use, or criminal intent. Those of us who are blind and Black face the dual forces of #ableism and racism. #BlackDisabledLivesMatter 3/5
@NoomCoach I am on day 2 of my 14-day trial, and I am almost ready to cancel right now. 1/ I generally advocate for #bodyacceptance and #healthateverysize #HAES, so I am skeptical of all "diets" particularly the rhetoric around restriction and bad calorie science
@NoomCoach 2/ Your app/program claims to have a different relationship to food and value than other diet programs. And while I appreciate the gesture at not labeling foods "good" and "bad" your color-coding system is basically the equivalent
@NoomCoach 3/ Your calorie logic is *EXACTLY THE SAME* as every other diet program out there--weight loss is a simple equation between calories in/calories out. Which btw is overly simplistic. You basically have a teched-up revamp of @WeightWatchers_
Fat girl thread. CW: dieting
Sometimes I don’t realize I’m hungry until I’m already pretty in need of food. I tend to go from “I could eat” to “If I don’t eat something right now I will stab you” in less than ten minutes. Today I realized one reason why I’m like this.

I spent most of my teens and twenties with an eating disorder, going from fad diet to fad diet, with diet pills, starvation & excessive exercise thrown in. I spent years teaching myself to IGNORE the signs of hunger, to turn it into white noise.
Now, when I want to treat my body with kindness, I am re-learning how to recognize signs of hunger, to listen to my body, in a way that dieting habits have discouraged in me.
