Today is international no diet day.

There is a $180 billion worldwide industry devoted to making you hate your natural body size. "Fat" is not an insult and "thin" is not a compliment. One third of all people who diet end up on the restrictive eating disorder spectrum. Long term weight loss is successful for less than 0.5% of people who diet. Physical appearance not indicate health. A BMI of 25-30 (currently classified as “overweight”) has the lowest mortality rate, and the majority of the population has a BMI of 23-31. Fat is the largest hormone-producing organ in your body. The size or increase-in-size of the fat organ is not correlated to food intake or activity levels. The recommended daily intake of 2000 comes from self-reports and surveys, but people eat on average 25% more than they think they do, so the real average intake is higher. "Have you lost weight? You look good!" is not a compliment. Body dissatisfaction leaves you more likely to be depressed, anxious, and suicidal.

Throw away your scale, throw away the diet food, throw away the idea that says you’re not good enough as you are right now.

do people who say “im only sexually attracted to cis girls and trans men” really think that all dfab people have vaginas?? but honestly, everyone can tell you’re a transmisogynist when you say that, it’s never only that you Just Prefer Vaginas it’s that you are disgusted by trans women even though a lot of trans women Do have vaginas. die slow + soon
