I DON'T THINK THE
"WEIGHT LOSS TIPS" ON WITTY ARE RIGHT.
I know most of them are
healthy ways to lose weight, but unhealthy people may use them
in unhealthy ways. I come to witty for an escape. An escape
from everything my life is and has been for the past four
years. I don't want to come on witty and see top quotes on
ways to lose weight when I've been dealing with anorexia
for four years and spending the last two years trying to gain
weight in treatment and recovery. If someone wants to lose
weight, they can research ways to do so themselves. I find it
quite triggering to come to Witty, somewhere I come to get away
from my life, and be reminded of ways to lose weight when
I've been trying so hard to free myself from this disease.
I know some of you are going to say "well, don't use
them then." But it doesn't exactly work like that. Did
I choose to have anorexia? No. Am I going to willingly choose
to use those tips? No. The thing is, I don't choose. My
mind does and that is something I can't control. It's a
mental disease and being reminded of ways to lose weight makes
it quite difficult. I know I'm going to get
"hate," so if you disagree then you disagree.
But until you've gone through what I have,
you'll never understand.
To be perfectly honest the people below me who are saying "some girls like the tips" are right, however that is not a reason to keep them.
You are completely right in saying that those girls can look it up themselves. If they really wanted to, they probably would anyway. I don't know the girl who is posting these quotes, and I don't hate her, I'm sure she is a lovely human being and a nice person, but if she sees this and continues posting them... I dunno there's something wrong there. It is more than likely that you aren't the only person that feels this way about the quotes, a lot of the comments below me are proof. Witty isn't necessarily about "posting quotes about ANYTHING" because some things may harm others on this website.
Ever noticed nobody posts an anti-gay quotes? That is because it could hurt or harm any gay/lesbian/bisexual users. This isn't exactly the same thing but the morals are all the same.
I'm behind you 100% and I'll be here for you if you ever need me.
If I'm alone and there is food around me, It'll be gone by the next day. I may barely be overweight, but it kills me to know that I'll never look like the other girls because of this. Because it's my fault. Sure, I can go and search up weight loss tips to reach my 20 pounds lighter goal, but I like this much better. Whenever I search weight loss tips on the internet, it's always for older people, never teenagers. So knowing that so many other people are trying to do the same thing as I am makes me feel less alone. And some people are just trying to be healthier.
But again, I completely understand.
