All the digs about Alex's flat head :(

Of all the features of her appearance to snark on... That flat head is the one part of her that wasn't her fault.

So her shitty parents left her lying on her back so long that the back of her skull flattened. That actually makes me feel so sorry for her. Baby Alex deserved to be held more, she deserved to be properly cared for, she didnt deserve to be neglected until she developed a flat head.

There will be readers and snarkers on this sub, and many perfectly decent human beings out there, who also suffered parental neglect as babies and have flat heads. Probably spent their whole lives feeling self-conscious and getting teased about it. How awful it must feel to see comments about how ugly and hideous and noticeable a flat head is! ALL of those babies once upon a time deserved to be cuddled and loved and given tummy time, and their flat heads are just injury added to insult.

Sure, snark on how Alex, through her own moronic and self-centered actions, ate her way to necklessness and four chins, and then molded her body into the unfortunate shape of a retired linebacker by getting an obese tummy tuck and continuing to gain. That's all on her.

But i hope we can have more kindness around here regarding flat heads, with awareness about the sad history that that particular skull shape comes with.

▲ 16 r/bulimia

Good fcking morning. I had a binge for breakfast.

So now I must spend the rest of my day exercise purging my sins, obviously. Another exciting day in the life of an exercise bulimic! I crawl around the city like a cockroach, forever in a hurry to get nowhere in particular, just to get my steps in. To quiet the beast inside my head that's beefing with the layer of fat around my waist.

I binged also about 4 days ago, on kfc, and gained a kilo from that that hasnt budged, so im not looking forward to tonight's weigh in. But hey that will be after hours of purgewalking while in pain and hating my life! My muscles hurt and the tedium kills my brain, but hey at least I tell myself lies that im being fit!

Why did i open that bag of chocolate chip cranberry cookies. Why do I do this to myself. Why cant I just vom it all up in one quick go and move on with my day like an efficient, classic, traditional bulimic.

Raise your hand if you have been personally victimised by the Asian BMI scale

WDYM i have to weigh less than other ethnicities of my same height to be in the same "healthy/underweight/overweight" category as they are? WDYFM im considered overweight if im over a ridiculously average bmi number? WDYMFMMFs

After all that suffering, all the walking, all the restriction. Just because im SHORT and ASIAN, i get to have the maintenance cals of a baby wombat

Im "healthy" by regular bmi calcs but im "big back fatty mcfatsypants" by the accursed asian bmi calc and you bet im mad about it

The first bite opens the floodgates

Sigh. It genuinely does not matter when I eat, the second i do, its all over gg. The hunger starts and i binge for the rest of the day.

I would LOVE to be *hashtag* ✨healthy✨, eat a hearty meal early and experience this magical "full for the rest of the day" that other people who are loved by god get to feel.

But no. It could be 8am and i am not hungry at all, just sleepy, perhaps even feeling a bit sick, definitely not in the mood to eat yet, but if (due to peer pressure usually) FOOD HAPPENS ANYWAY.... thats it. My stomach opens for business, suddenly i can inhale a horse and still be peckish later. Its unjust, evil sorcery, how i can go from "ugh food feels so gross rn" to "fuck yeah gimme more" in just the time it takes for *the fork to travel from plate to mouth*. That first bite! It always gets me.

My cheeks are too bodacious to look cool in a helmet

I autistically hate the sensation of this smooshy thing that my helmet does to my voluptuously cheektastic cheeks. It feels weird around my nose. Im still gonna wear it because safety and such, but why must i feel like an enthusiastic great aunt is squishing my face the whole time
