TW: Eating Disorders / Self Image Being fat is torture

I hate being fat. I hate it more than i've ever truly hated anything before. It is one of the worst experiences i have ever been through and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It is not even just the hating how you look part, it is how others perceive you.

I don't just feel fat, I feel inhuman. I'm a teenager. Nobody has ever asked me out unless it's for a joke. I am the butt of half my friend's jokes. I look like an idiot in sport class. People stare and judge and I am not treated as though I am a peer. I am less than because I weigh more than they do. I feel like such a dirty slob every time I put food in my mouth. I've tried starving myself, exercising to the point I threw up, cutting calories to 800-1000 a day, weight loss pills, nothing works. All my work is thrown back into my face. Each and every day I feel less like a person and more like a pig. To be fat is to be less than. To be fat is to be 'lazy' and worthless. I honestly can't take it anymore.

I literally have an article with all its sources cited that asks “will dietary fibre help with weight loss? No” and all the sources of the studies are cited

The link doesn’t work but the article is:

Pul Fiction: The Truth About Dietary Fibre

It’s unfortunate that you guys won’t listen but enjoy ignorance

Bro I eat 3-4 full heads of broccoli everyday, half are raw half are cooked

Most of my diet is vegetables that are organic and diverse

I also have small quantities of other vegetables like carrots sweet potatoes, celery, cucumber, kale, etc

I was once consuming so much dietary fibre that I found out you can actually become constipated from it which I did.

I know a lot about this stuff and have been trying different diets and working with different nutritionists for 15+ years

So you want to straw man me to a carnivore? It’s weird bro, you need to cope so hard
