This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Because a LOT of people, parents included- have disordered eating habits and pass those on to their children.
Yea that's why I said that I could understand if you're a kid. As an adult you have access to all the information you could possibly need to figure this shit out for yourself. It's not complicated. I say that having grown up in a "clean your plate" household with my parents who gave very little thought to the nutritional composition of our meals. As soon as I got out of there I worked out a better meal plan and started collecting recipes. It wasn't hard at all. You don't even have to be perfect just keeping an eye on the amount of calories you're consuming is 90% of it. You can do this even if you're eating fast food all the time.
My point was, I don't think a lot of folk realize just how many people have disordered eating, not just eating disorders that can be diagnosed.
