Teens using AI to diet may be told to eat almost 700 fewer daily calories than they need If a teen is interested in losing weight, chances are they may turn to artificial intelligence platforms to get advice.

“Not everyone who’s trying to lose weight will develop an #eatingdisorder but a significant portion of them may engage in unhealthy weight control behaviors like fasting, skipping meals, vomiting or using non prescribed medications for weight loss” #AI #chatbots #teens www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

How do you make yourself eat when everything tastes disgusting and your body is shutting down?

a

mindset that keeps you trapped.

one of anorexia's

manipulation tactics.

to wait for the perfect time

to start to get better, you'll

wait for the rest of your life.

I don't talk about this a lot mostly because I feel bad for being "picky".
But I've been rly struggling with food again. My brain likes specific things and refuse to eat if it's not that and rn idk what that "specific thing is". Fuck man..

Diet culture rebrands. Recovery never goes out of style.

✨ Shrinking yourself won’t expand your worth.
✨ Your body is not a trend.
✨ You deserve support — not shame.

I wish people talked about healthily gaining weight the way they do about losing weight. I gained 70 lbs a few years ago after recovering from an eating disorder. No one wants to hear about it. But starve yourself or take diet pills and people are proud of you. #dietculture #eatingdisorder

no matter the equation;

𝑥 always equals zero.

naught. nil. nada. nothingness.

the infinite formula -

emptiness;

weightless;

hollow.

a void of negative space.
