This is gonna sound silly but I challenged myself not to binge AND to eat balsamic dressing on my salad. I finished the salad and didn't binge. I'm winning today.
I actually want to yap about this sort of ok here we go…
I’ve noticed a lot of super dramatic tv shows/movies are focused on things like restriction and purging disorder (I’m not necessarily saying bulimia because I never really see binging, just purging after a meal). Other disorders like BED and pica are turned into shock value shows, like my strange addiction and my 600lbs life. People don’t view these as eating disorders. The people featured in these shows aren’t actors, they’re real people suffering in real time. The average viewer will just say “ew gross why is she eating sand” and “ew gross how is this person 600lbs”
