Also, peopel may want to post for support saying somethign like ' x food is quite high in fat which makes it feel unsafe for me' and someoen might want to reply 'fats are an essential part of people's diets.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, it makes a lot of sense and I'm sorry I hadn't thought of fat as a word for food ingredient
.
Oh, I like the starred out solution. Isn't fat a kind of swear word because the official words are overweight and obese?
A veeery recovery based step would be if there it would only be allowed to write "I FEEL fat" or "my ED tells me I am fat" but not be allowed to write "I AM fat" because the last option would mean that it is true you're fat.
Accepting that you aren't really overweight, although you feel like you are, would be a good step forward, wouldn't it?
