Personally it just irks me when anyone talks about their diet when they're still big/chubby. Many people seek the reward of hearing people compliment them for starting a diet without actually following through and losing the weight. But maybe that's just me.
I agree with this SO MUCH.
People love to glorify and advertise issues like this - dieting, eating disorders, mental illness, insomnia, etc.
If you're actually experiencing something like that, chances are (almost 100% of the time) you're not discussing it publicly.
It's like being wounded is some sort of cool label these days. Everyone wants to seem super busy, chugging coffees, running wild, getting shit done, eating little - "look at this selfie #ew #tired #espressoshots #insomnia #zombie" shut the fuck up. If you're actually busy, you don't have time to update your Instagram every second. If you're actually depressed, you don't walk around like a sad fucking puppy telling people you need to see your shrink.
For example - how many of us here have to lie about the amounts we eat? I never openly admit I'm constantly watching what I eat and consume a low calorie diet. In fact, quite the opposite - I typically lead friends and family to believe I eat like a horse and 'must have a really high metabolism, guys!'.
If I see one more person hashtag the word insomnia, I'll kill them. Insomnia is not cool. It's not fun. It doesn't give you however many extra hours in your day to catch up on reading or perhaps do some laundry. You lay in your bed and roll over again and again from side to side and look at your clock for the entire night. Time doesn't go by. You don't simply just have the energy to be up and out of bed doing things... because you didn't sleep the night before either and you're fucking exhausted. The last thing I want to do is take a picture of how tired I look and hashtag insomnia because I'm so cool just like the stupid character in Fight Club.
This got so off topic, but it's all relevant. I'm just agreeing, hah.
