it’s okay to acknowledge how your body feels at different weights.

but it’s also important to parse apart how much of what you’re feeling is coming from your weight itself vs the beliefs you have internalized about what your weight says about you.

stupid little walk for my stupid mental health

[sydney luther @sydneyluther]

trying to get back “into shape” - whatever that means. might use twitter to keep track of the process. i’m starting from almost zero here so my goal by the end of the summer is to walk 5k. i have chronic pain and depression so this is feels like a reasonable goal.

[sydney luther @sydneyluther]

i just walked 0.8k on my achy ankle (twisted it a few weeks ago). one step at a time 😤

Horrifying. Eating disorders are potentially deadly bio/pyscho/social illnesses. "Ob*sity" is a ratio of weight & height. I know the weight loss industry is pushing this agenda, but I'm disappointed EDRS would advance this dangerous agenda. More here: https://t.co/lF75smQqnz

a friend i only knew in elementary school messaged me for the first time in a decade asking me to buy a copy of his book

i launched a blog and immediately got writers block

It is estimated that less than 50% of people suffering with eating disorders receive treatment.

I shudder to imagine what it will be like over the next few years when we are also trying to treat the fall out from doctors telling two year olds to lose weight.

[Alexis Conason @theantidietplan]

I was taken aback by some of the comments on a recent post I made about the ubiquity of weight bias in medicine. A bunch of folks wanted to divert a conversation about human dignity and access to competent medical care with arguments about weight and health.

If your first though

[Alexis Conason @theantidietplan]

It’s incredible to discover all those parts of ourselves that were suppressed and hidden by diet culture/eating disorders. Diet culture silences our voices, our power, and our full selves. Discovering who we are outside of all that can be magical. ✨

can confirm that I received a first dose of COVID vaccine early due to having a "high risk" BMI (over 40), and when I returned for further doses, I had to wait in line with everyone else, no longer being considered "high risk" I guess, with no explanation of the change lol

[sydney luther @sydneyluther]

[sydney luther @sydneyluther]
