If I see one more post on how to be productive during the #coronapocalypse , I might scream.

If all you did today was survive, I’m proud of you.
I got dressed for exactly one hour while I got groceries and then it was back to PJ’s for the rest of the day. I scrolled through twitter for hours and then stared at my wall for an hour when I felt a panic attack coming on. And I cried. I can’t even watch TV or read right now.
Friends that are isolated from family, friends and loved ones right now, I feel you. I feel you so hard. Friends that have been battling depression and other mental health issues, I’m with you.

And no, FaceTime doesn’t seem to cut it but it definitely offers moments of reprieve.

Every time I get on a plane, I feel absolutely sick to my stomach — terrified that the person sitting next to me will take a picture of me and I’ll end up being mocked on the internet.

Put your anger on the airlines for making seats smaller & smaller. Image
Interesting how it’s never a picture of a really tall person impeding the other person’s space.

Instead, we are supposed to be discuss whether a fat person deserves basic humanity and dignity.
If body size was a choice like so many people think it is, do you think I’d choose to have a body that is hated, mocked, and ridiculed? A body that denies me safe medical care and the ability to travel comfortably?

It’s so easy to call us lazy and undisciplined, huh?

I don’t talk about my experience growing up ultra orthodox because so many people I still love are part of the community and it never felt right.

But I don’t want to be quiet anymore.
Yesterday, a bunch of religious men had a huge gathering where they told religious women that they shouldn’t be on social media anymore.

Today on FB, a Jewish org of men stated that they “welcome the Supreme Court ruling.”
To me, they are very much connected. Has a single man left instagram? Have they told men who promote their business on social to leave? Ha!No way.

This is a tactic to once again silence women. To make us not seen or heard. To make sure we don’t know enough so we shut up & obey.

If you need to eat this Yom Kippur because you’re in ED recovery, please know that eating is not just permissible, but a MITZVAH.

Your connection & spirituality happens through eating, not restricting. Hashem doesn’t want you to be harming yourself in the name of religion.
Obviously, please confirm with a treatment team + Rabbi who understands eating disorders and mental health. But your mental and physical health comes first. 💗
I want to clarify that this is referring to ALL eating disorders. Not just anorexia. Your mental health and recovery is a priority whether you struggle with restricting, bingeing, purging, or any other ED behaviors.

I used to be concerned that sharing my negative experiences in ED treatment would be harmful to people attempting to get help.

But no more beating around the bush. ED treatment is built for thin, rich white women and it’s a broken system that doesn’t work.

I said what I said.
I’m not trying to be an asshole but until treatment is created for ALL people in mind, more people will continue to be harmed and retraumatized in treatment.

Black people, trans people, fat people... they deserve safe care. And the current system does not provide that.
Also, OBVIOUSLY there are exceptions! Of course there are people who’ve found treatment lifesaving but overall, the system is often ineffective if not not harmful and it’s important to be talking about this.

When I was around 19 & roughly the weight I am now,I went to an endocrinologist bec my RD & I couldn’t figure out why I was my size given how I ate.

(Spoiler alert: body diversity is a thing but my ED RD wasn’t aware)

It was also the only period of recovery I’d ever experienced
TW calories

The endo forced me on the scale after I pleaded not to &then said I had 2 options.I could get WLS or I could eat less than 1k cal a day w 1 hour vigorous exercise daily.

Yes, she was aware of my ED of 10 yrs (at that pt) that I was was just starting to recover from
Imagining what it could’ve been like to have been told, your body isn’t broken, you aren’t broken. You can trust your body and it’s okay.

But that’s not why I’m sharing this.

If 2020 were an ice cream it would be Halo Top.
(Actually, Arctic Zero)
If 2020 were pasta it would be zoodles.
