Re: trigger warnings for discussion of weight(/loss), disordered eating

My comment "reeks of trying to convince" someone of something? I'm "spreading untruths"?

I never claimed to be saying anything other than my own experience, which, inexplicably, you seem to have a problem with. If OP finds resonance in my original comment, great. If not, fine.

I recommend that you read this book (http://www.lindabacon.org/HAESbook/).

I also recommend that you not force false correlations between illicit substance abuse (which the body never needs) and the consumption of nutrients. If you don't smoke crack, you don't die. Guess what happens when you don't eat?

Are you seriously trying to argue that there's no such thing as FOOD ADDICTION just because if we stop eating food we die? Do you really think that the CRITERIA for addiction is that if we need it to live, surely we can't become addicted, surely can't ever go OVERBOARD?

My point is that your body can and does become addicted to sugars and fats, there's been TONS of research on food and food addiction. Food addiction is the OTHER side of the coin inhabited by ED - anorexia, bulimia, etc. It's another form of an unhealthy relationship with food, and you're spreading an agenda that ignores and instead tries to legitimize food addiction as a 'live and let live' mentality, instead enabling overeaters.

No, I'm not, and no, I don't.

Your point is obvious. I stated in my above comment (you know, the one you excoriated) that I have struggled with binge eating for most of my life. I actually do know what I'm talking about, regardless of what you'd like to believe.

These issues are different for everyone, and I can only speak from my personal experience. However, I thought I would share some of my experiences and observations from my life, since I find that it's often nice to hear about others' struggles, even if they are somewhat different from my own.

I don't have "an agenda". I have experiences and a personal philosophy about eating healthfully and wisely that I felt were appropriate to share.

If you have a problem with this, well. I don't know what to say.

Also, my original comment was censuring you because the reason you were sharing your 'experience' was because you wanted to expose the OP to the Fat Acceptance movement, which is another way of trying to dictate to people how they should live their lives. Not all of us overweight and formerly overweight people AGREE with FA, and in fact personally I find it can be damaging if taken too far because it can be permissive of food addictions.
