TW: ED

Hey wow whoa this is BAD and triggering and this IS abuse. For the love of all things holy, unholy, and mundane PLEASE stop giving your money to Instagram coaches. PLEASE. https://twitter.com/salvacambranes/status/1305982435499347973

Obviously this is not to shame or blame people who have done this in the past. These “coaches” prey on your insecurities and these DO become abusive relationships.

If you’re struggling with body image, or weight related issues (gaining/losing/maintaining/whatever) PLEASE GO TO PROFESSIONALS. Seek a therapist and an RD.

I know I’ll probably get some flack for this but do not go to HAES body coaches even if they are an RD. You cannot see only one professional for these kinds of issues. You need to treat your mental health with a MH pro and your physical health with a PH pro

Do your research. Don’t stick with something that makes you feel guilty. Don’t stick with something that feels easy. It’s a hard line to find. But your habits should be changing along with your mindset. Only changing one leads to more disordered behavior.

I’d be more than happy as someone in recovery to explain any of my recommendations in this thread or my experiences to anyone who asks.
