Hi everyone. Nobody really sees my posts but okay.

important:

never start purging. never ever start making yourself throw up your food. please. it won’t help you lose weight, it’ll just fuck up your entire life. it’ll stretch and damage your stomach, cause your throat to bleed, you’ll throw up blood and pass out on the cold bathroom floor. your hair will fall out, your teeth will rot, you risk stomach rupture, heart attacks, and other serious life-threatening complications every time you purge. just fucking don’t start. please.

Guys sort of my first body check

My stomach looks bigger than normal, because I didn't take this photo in the morning, instead somewhere after mid day.

It's not an excuse I know. Please roast me, I need it,or send meanspo I could use it.

What counts as a shoe? Like where's the limit?

This was a peak mental moment

Echoes of the void tell me, where did my sanity go?

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻
