The reality is that fat people are often supported in hating their bodies, in starving themselves, in engaging in unsafe exercise, and in seeking out weight loss by any means necessary. A thin person who does these things is considered mentally ill. A fat person who does these things is redeemed by them. This is why our culture has no concept of a fat person who also has an eating disorder. If you’re fat, it’s not an eating disorder — it’s a lifestyle change.

I will always reblog this because it is so so important.

I just want to nail this to every stable surface I can find. I cannot count the amount of times that I’ve seen fat folks being encouraged, cajoled, and even forced into behaviors that would be recognized as disordered eating/exercising patterns in thin folks.
Pretty much everything that’s done on shows like The Biggest Loser would be called out as pro-ana/pro-orthorexia in a thin person. Exercising past the point that it hurts, to the point where you’re throwing up, even injuring yourself? Berating yourself because you didn’t lose ENOUGH weight this week? Constantly talking about how fat is weakness and thinness will make everything better, about how you can’t stand to be your current weight anymore? Emphasis on weight as a sign of how much control, strength, and worth you have? Viewing food as bad, as a temptation to sin? Constant sharing and talking about tips on how to minimize food intake, how to lose weight?
That sounds exactly like every pro-ana/pro-mia blog I’ve ever seen. It’s also what fat people are told we need to be doing to ourselves until we’re thin.

It’s also important to note that medically, they won’t give you the diagnosis of an eating disorder unless you’re considered underweight.

What it comes down to is, being big or small in itself is not an eating disorder. It’s your relationship with food and the limiting or excessive way we approach it. Binge eating is just as real of an eating disorder as anorexia and for medical professionals or ourselves to pretend it isn’t is unfair and naive.

This quote is what I want to scream at thin people when they say “but once someone told me to eat a hamburger”/”but i’m thin and people ask if i have an eating disorder—-being thin is just as hard as being fat!” Oh, really? Tell me more. They told you to eat something? Well, people would rather I not eat at all. People congratulate me for starving myself. Someone was concerned that you might have an eating disorder? Boohoo, I’ve had family, friends, loved ones, fucking doctors and virtually ALL of society SUPPORT AND PERPETUATING MY EATING DISORDER BECAUSE I’M FAT. Because people would rather I starve myself to near death than to be fat. This has been proven to me a thousand times.

“Iron Man”. That’s kind of catchy. It’s got a nice ring to it.
