Some male thinspo because I don't see a lot of them

I see all these posts about people feeling fake saying they have an ed for eating a sandwich. This is the shoutout post for people who starve all day and binge all night. The people who are stuck on a certain weight because they binge almost daily. The people who can’t control themselves and hate it more than anything. The people who feel like their ed is fake all day and every day.

It’s never too late to start being who you want to be.

Reblog this to prove your blog was made before the February 2022 tumblr resurgence

Reblog if…

You’re doing it so you can be confident in public, but not for the attention

The weight loss is not for the gender you’re attracted to, but because you don’t feel attractive

You’re tired of people making petty comments about your weight

You want people to stop trying to put your weight in a sugarcoated box by saying you’re ‘big boned’ ‘thicc’ ‘more to love’ ‘curvy’, etc.

One comment sent you into the start of your ED

A traumatic experience caused you to gain weight that just wouldn’t come off

New medication caused you to gain weight

A Doctor, family, teacher, or friend has ever called you fat

You feel this is the only way you’ll truly be comfortable in your own skin

You’re lying to family & friends

You feel a little bittersweet when they comment on your weight loss

It started as a ‘diet’ that spiraled out of control

You know recovery is an option, but you don’t want to

You used to deny your eating disorder

🌪I want to follow the people who reblog this🌪

Like I said my body is against me currently and for some reason I ate terribly today
