FUCK DIET CULTURE

FUCK DIET CULTURE, ya you heard that right! FUCK EM!! 

I say this as a mostly happy, healthy weight, young woman whose life went through the wringer because of diet culture. Fuck the insanely inaccurate calorie needs that are incredibly dangerously low. Fuck the idea of weight and ‘health’ being so brainwashed into us every single day. Fuck feeling ‘not good enough’ because of a dumb and inaccurate standard.

FUCK the absurdity of diet culture!! 

When I was sick with my eating disorder, I was complimented by the way my body looked. People would always praise me just based off my physical appearance. The fact that diet culture brainwashed literally all my friends into thinking that the way I looked was ‘healthy,’ is just so sad and disturbing. 

“...detox our bodies of the bad food choices we made...”

A quote from a very easily accessible site. So diet culture is telling us to detox our bodies from all the yummy Christmas cookies we had after having a fun night baking them with our friends, or that delicious cheeseburger you ordered from your favorite restaurant down the street. 

FUCK THAT! There is zero fun in that whatsoever! Why would you wanna live your life like that, why would you want to live your life in that miserable state of mind? 

What if today is your last day on earth? You can’t prove to me it's not… Why would you want to live your last day “detoxing your body”? Why wouldn’t you want to eat those Christmas cookies, or take that last bite of your cheeseburger? It’s your last day right? 

So why don’t we live like it's our last day more often? I want today to be your day. The rest of today I want you to live like it's your last. See how you feel, then get back to me. 

(Actually tell me, my email is aalexacohen@gmail.com :) I want to know!)

Diet culture is the party pooper of fun and freedom! Why would we want to follow something so thoroughly that's just ruining our life? 

Fuck diet culture and everything it stands for!!
