“Being ‘perfect’ no longer just means sticking to a strict diet — now, it means staying slim while appearing to eat like a horse. That way, you appear to have a fabulous figure and a relaxed attitude toward food.” 

A lot of my friends, mostly very thin (a couple dangerously so), post pictures of cupcakes, ice cream, krispy kremes, etc. and caption them with “hehe I’m a so chubsies” or “buffet everyday please :)”..or “mcDonalds for the 3rd time” and I was wondering why they like emphasizing the processed foods they consume/don’t actually consume…I’m sure that most of the instances are just to brag or to appear cute (barf most of my friends are 20+ grow up)…But more interestingly, is it a way some people use to try and mask eating problems? Anyways, just something I noticed and to think about. Does anyone else know what I’m talking about?

  9. makinghealtheasy said: This is so accurate. My facebook feed is full of very thin girls with statuses or pictures about “being a fatty.” I don’t know why this is the kind of attention anybody wants. No matter your size you should be proud of healthy eating habits.

  15. thiseskimoisgettingfit said: i completely agree with you. it’s all about what others think of you. so if you post a pic of a salad, ppl are going to think you are insecure about your weight, which isn’t necessarily the truth, so ppl do the opposite. ugh society :/
