There has been a growing movement over the years that has done nothing but lie, indoctrinate and trick its followers into believing misinformation. That movement is the Fat Acceptance Movement. They have made numerous untrue claims about being obese. With some of them being that: you can be healthy at any size, being obese carries no health problems, (that some people) simply can’t lose weight, etc.

Not only are these claims untrue, but they can be harmful. As they lead to people not even trying to lose weight or seeking the help of a healthcare professional. Some people who are obese also have an eating disorder, B.E.D (Binge Eating Disorder). By spreading these lies, people who are suffering from these and other issues may never get the help they need. So please, don’t fall for it.

I have ADHD and Autism so my brain's reward mechanism is fundamentally broken.
I spent 30+ years dealing with undiagnosed gender dysphoria and eating things that were bad for me but tasted so good was my escape. I've got the obesity to prove it.
Food was a reliable way for me to get a boost, to feel good. But Wegovy took that away from me and it made me mad at first.
I didn't even know I had an eating disorder until Wegovy cured it. Suddenly, my primary dopamine source just wasn't hitting like it used to and it felt weird and wrong.
Even after I started to transition, food was still my primary way to get a boost. It's actually embarrassing how often I think about food and the effect it has on me.
But then I was prescribed Wegovy because I was prediabetic. And it turned off the switch.
It was like a magic trick.
Insurance covered it for $25 / month.
And for nine months, food was no longer my illicit lover.
I lost 40 pounds like it was nothing.
Then my insurance stopped covering it.
It would be $1,600 / month.
So I stopped taking it. I had to.
Now I'm on Vyvanse which is for ADHD but, at higher doses, also can help with binge eating disorder. I'm not at the target dose yet.
I've gained back all of the weight I lost.
The "food noise" thoughts aren't as intense, but once I start eating, it is hard to stop. Just thinking about eating can get me going so I try not to.
I mean, I had a prescription medication that fixed it, that completely eliminated the problem.
Cured it.
But now I can't have it because insurance changed its fucking mind about covering it.
Now their guidelines say that under no circumstances other than a full-blown diabetes diagnosis will they cover any of the GLP-1 drugs. And even when they do, they will only cover the ones explicitly approved for diabetes: Ozympic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro.
It just doesn't seem right. It stopped the problem that is pushing me toward diabetes but I can't have it until I already have diabetes.
I hate this about myself.
I've accepted that I'm bisexual, that I'm transgender, that I have ADHD, that I'm on the autism spectrum.
But this having a binge eating disorder still feels like a personal failing, a moral failing, like I should have done something differently, like it is my fault.
I hate it about myself. I hate that I have the dumbeset eating disorder. I tell myself, "Just stop eating, idiot" but it's not that easy. I wish it was. It should be. It isn't. Why isn't it that easy?
This is a fucking addiction and that's stupid. Addicted to food? Right. Aren't we all addicted to food because if we don't eat, we die? Duh.
It's so dumb. But here it is.

I'm going to attempt group therapy again, tomorrow morning. I've had to drop out of countless groups due to severe anxiety and overstimulation. This one is for my eating disorder, which I don't even know what to do about anymore, so I'm desperate. If I could afford to pay for one-on-one therapy I would, but that's not even remotely in the cards.

I'm so panicked, but don't know what else to try. There are not many resources for my specific eating disorder. #ActuallyAutistic #BingeEatingDisorder

Dio, concedimi la serenitΓ  di accettare le cose che non posso cambiare,
il coraggio di cambiare le cose che posso,
e la saggezza per conoscere la differenza.

#FitIn2025 – February edition

The first month of 2025, I didn't have too much progress. Well, there was some, but I still have a long way to go. So well, now it's February, as I start writing this, and that means I have 28 days to make the best of it, and hopefully have some positive results by the time this post gets ready to be shared... I know losing weight takes time. I know it also takes effort. And motivation. And energy... And some of these things can be hard to come by, when you are dealing with chronic pain and an eating disorder. But, that doesn't mean that it's impossible! It mostly means that it's a bit harder on me. I know it's never easy to change your fitness and improve your health. OK, there are exceptions where it looks like it comes "easy" to some folks... But unfortunately, I am not one of these folks... […]

I've been getting to know this guy as a potential FWB, and last night, I told him all about my eating disorder.

He was lovely about it, but then offered to be someone I could be "accountable" to for my behaviour, and, ewww no.

I'm sure he had the best intentions, but there is no way I'm going to be accountable to anyone but me. Imagine if he started interrogating my protein intake while his dick's still wet, ewww.

I had an appointment with the psychiatrist from the eating disorder place this morning. My worker at my building attended with me. We were talking more about how we can try to manage eating disorder things. Now she wants the staff to remind me to eat at the same time they are bringing people their medication, since apparently they already do that for a few people who tend to forget to eat. I know they're just trying to help, but this new change feels really stressful. #BingeEatingDisorder #ARFID

My new medication is making me feel out of it, but I also feel calmer, so... decent trade-off, I guess. And I'm enjoying the decreased appetite. #Topiramate #BingeEatingDisorder

My eating disorder is worsening and it's fucking ruining my life, and the type of help I need isn't covered by our provincial healthcare. I feel so hopeless... #EatingDisorder #BingeEatingDisorder

*BIG SIGH* I've had a relapse.

I haven't done a great deal of writing this week because I've been more focused on bingeing, and I'm talking *every single day*, which is significant in terms of relapses and generally very shitty.

And when I do go to write, my eating disorder and this week's trigger is the only subject on my mind. But would it be really annoying and boring if I published yet more words on this?
