can fucking harvard maybe not try to sell me weight loss diets?

#tw weight loss #ok to rb but no contrarians. not in the mood #harvard🤝the kardashians for SOME FUCKING REASON? #tw weight talk in the tags but in a way that's critical of weight loss' pervasiveness as a put-forth cure-all. #but yo i just need an article on how to not gag while taking my meds and it shows me this pop up #I HAAATE how weight loss has become synonymous with health #to the point of ads automatically assuming you need it #like. no. that's not automatically something that'll make you healthier. #less is not better #even if less WAS better for someone that's so individualized #like. for me less is worse with my medical issues and a sign something's wrong. #weight loss for me is a worrying symptom and not something to strive for. i wish it would stop being painted as a universal net positive. #it means i'm not absorbing nutrients properly/too sick to eat/it's taking a lot more energy for my body to function than most people/etc #like no. it's actively fucking worrying for a LOT OF PEOPLE #like. don't @ me playing devil's advocate on this. i know weight loss is something healthy for some people. #but don't for a second even try to pretend that it isn't a core part of our society in ways that negatively impact millions. #that's my problem with this moreso than the pop up itself. this pop up is a symptom of that #i'm not in the mood for a debate on this topic to be honest. this is not an invitation #AND I'M STILL NOT FINDING GOOD TIPS ON HOW NOT TO GAG WHEN TAKING MY MEDS but that's another long ramble #but like tldr i'm FULLY capable of taking my meds. i've had to take like 8 in a single sitting before #but i've had one recently that made me feel really sick #so now i've pavloved myself into preemptively gagging at the mere thought of taking pills #and i can't undo it. which sucks as an emetophobe #ughhhhhh. just one of those nights. i'll manage. #pms is not helping kjdfhkdjg
