It can be hard to purposely put on weight, especially when everywhere you look there people telling you that thinner is better. The smaller you are, the more attractive you are.
This is not true.
At a certain point, you become too thin. It is not healthy, and it can be hard to overcome when being bombarded with unhealthy images.
I am not underweight because of anything relating to an eating disorder, but for someone who is, gaining weight must be a terrifying thing to do to ones self, even with the knowledge that it is for the best.
Avoiding celebrity blog sites and fashion sites has helped me avoid the large and scary world of judgement. People feel free to judge famous people and the way they look, but then it reflects back onto the readers, hurting them. So, I avoid that.
To get my fix, i look to fitspiration.
I love pinterest.com, so I look to it to find inspiration about healthy body types. I can still get gossip about the famous, but without having to view unhealthy body images and be told that that is what is beautiful.
