I always hate seeing this. I get a lot of people struggle with being overweight, but there are those of us that struggle maintaining a healthy weight. But all health stuff seems to be focused on low calories and losing weight. I can’t even program fitness/eating apps to help me gain weight - best I can do is “maintain current weight”.

Well that’s an easy fix: use maintain weight, and then eat a little more ;)

Even easier: maintain my weight then you’ll gain all you want

Omg, is that really the secret to eating disorders? Just “eat more”? Wow! You should be a licensed dietician!
Do you appreciate it when people tell you “just eat less?”. Does that actually work? I guess that means all fat people are just willingly fat, right? They just have to choose to eat less. Why even have health apps in the first place if it’s just that simple? Fat people are just lazy.
You see how when flipped around this is wildly offensive, but somehow you think telling someone struggling with low weight to “just eat more” isn’t?

Not really. With this flipped around my reaction is …. “whooOOSHH”.
How is it that now even self-deprecating humor targeting oneself can get someone ‘s panties in a bunch?

Health apps also track calories out and this doesn’t work for that. Health apps want you to be on a decifit generally(eat less and exercise more). They’re just not setup for even “maintain” very well. This doesn’t solve the issue that most health apps are obesity centered and have alerts for too many calories, but almost never for too few. This doesn’t create a useful plan tailored to my needs, this is just “use something different and pretend it’s the same”. We do not have the same struggles and the apps don’t acknowledge any of that.
But thanks for acting like the entire problem is “just eat more”. Omg, why didn’t I think of that? Why am I trying to use create a plan to help me when I could have just eaten more! Omg! You solved it! You solved all eating disorders! Congrats! All my anxieties just suddenly vanished and I can be normal!

Oh come on. Don’t just ignore my smiley and go on a rant like a boomer snowflake.

Winking smiley is sarcasm and whatnot. You wanted a traditional smiley. I didn’t ignore your smiley at all, I took it as it was.
But since you called me a “boomer snowflake”, you can go fuck yourself, mmmk? Doubling down being a douche doesn’t make you cute. Just makes you a douche. I hope every struggle you go through gets ignored and ridiculed too ;)
