Yes it’s a real service. I do volunteer work for a rape crisis support service in my city and texting is one of the features we provide as well. But just to boost its credibility, I tried it myself:

These little chocolate meringue cookies are both easy, and good for satisfying cravings. You can make them with sugar, or sweetener, as well as any flavoring you want! They’re really customizable. I made mine red velvet (but you can’t really tell because I used a really dark cocoa powder lol)
Per cookie: 1.5 calories
Whole batch: 35 calories
Ingredients:
2 egg whites
¼-½ cup sugar or sweetener
½ tablespoon cocoa powder (I used a super dark Dutch Process cocoa, you can also leave out this if you prefer vanilla)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 250F
Begin to whip egg whites in a bowl, adding in vanilla extract and salt when the eggs begin to get frothy
Once egg whites stiffen up slightly, add your sweetener. Add according to your preference. (I used about ¼ cup because I prefer darker chocolate)
Whip and add in cocoa powder
Stop when the egg whites form stiff peaks, and you can turn the bowl upside down without the egg white mixture moving
Make small, inch or so wide dollops of the meringue on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. (If you’re extra af like me, use a fancy piping bag and tip uwu)
Place in your oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, before turning off the oven and leaving them in there to cool down with it for at least an hour. Do not open the oven door until the time is up.
Take them out, and bam! You got yourself some nice and crunchy lil boyos for you to enjoy.
I got 24 cookies out of this recipe, and the calories for each will vary depending on how big you make them. I really hope somebody tries this recipe and enjoys it! I know I sure did 🌸
My mom did a weight loss program and she said that if a girl was getting too thin, they would give her oats so she couldn’t lose anymore weight
PLEASE SHARE THIS
I keep seeing this post floating around, and I honestly feel a need to comment: this is one of the big problems with pro ana. You have a fear food, and now you’re trying to spread this fear and misinformation to other people. There is NO “magic food” that will cause weight to just “stick” to you. That’s not possible. There are a lot of young and seriously ill people in this community who could be freaking out reading this post because you just ruined one of the foods they’ll actually eat. And guess what? That food happens to be a filling, nutricious, healthy option! Please, for the love of god, do NOT believe things you read like this before fact checking them.
On that note, please do not make a post about one of your fear foods and say something like “please share this” because you WILL trigger other people. Honestly, yeah, that includes those posts about not eating pizza/fries/cake/whatever. Guys, it’s never okay to encourage someone else’s illness, even if you have the same one. It’s one thing to help motivate a friend to lose weight, but it’s a completely different and damaging thing to fuel someone’s ED by encouraging them to have fear foods like this.
I reblogged the original post a few days ago cuz i was freaking out too
Just kind of popping in to say, as someone who has studied this stuff in a school for years, this is not true. Not at all. Not in the slightest.
Oats are one of the carbohydrates that are complex and therefor, although high in calories, good for your body and weightless because it gives you more energy whilst your body is trying to break it down.
There is no food that will make weight stick to you as @thinspoasf already mentioned very well. It’s all about calories in weightloss, and by telling others to spread this you are not only spreading horribly wrong misinformation, but also causing a lot of harm.
So…I am very disappointed in you op. And I hope that you understood your mistake, learned from it and don’t repeat it. And to everyone who believed this, don’t worry it’s not true and completely fine to enjoy a bowl of oatmeal ♡
Oatmeal is good as fuck and you ALL KNOW You Need That Good Fiber. People with eating disorders are at higher risk for heart disease, and oatmeal is a dope heart-healthy carbohydrate that starts your day off good as HELL.
While having a fear food is valid, it’s not necessary to hype it up as a bad food in the community. Personally, oatmeal is one of my safe foods, regardless of how heavy it feels to me, because I know it has properties that give me life.
Seeing the original post triggered a mental note in my head to throw away the oatmeal in my cupboard. You don’t know what could trigger a new behavior in someone. I love new tips. I love hearing about foods I shouldn’t eat. But that’s because I’m SICK. And it’s important to recognize that we restrict ENTIRE FOOD GROUPS from our diets because of things like Atkins.
Don’t put your fear foods on blast. Instead, put your SAFE foods on blast? Foods you enjoy, feel lite, whatever your tea is.
I’m sick of cutting foods out bro. I’m hungry. Want some OATMEAL
Before i read the full post i almost cried bc one of my favorite foods is overnight oats 😧
oats with nut butter and fruit are 100% my safe food lol even though it’s a high calorie breakfast it helps balance out my meds and keeps me full for a very long time not to mention it helps my ed-fucked up digestive system and provides iron. oatmeal is the fucking best
I once ate oatmeal for a month and lost ALOT so nah I won’t fear oatmeal. Gimme the oats.
Oatmeal is one of the only safe foods i have that’s offered at my work . it keeps me full af while Im burning calories. Not really that high cal when im on my feet and running around for 8 hours . its a lifesaver if youre an adult with an ed tbh.
This is SO important so STOP trying to scroll past it if you’re anorexic and just READ. IT.
FOR EVERYONE WHO ASKS ME ABOUT LAXATIVES, AND FOR EVERYONE WHO THINKS THEY’RE A GOOD WAY TO LOSE “WEIGHT” AND GET A NICE TEENY TINY TUMMY.
I am here to tell you that you are WRONG. You will not get a teeny tiny tummy. You will get this. I’ve barely eaten in days and yet my stomach still looks like it is pregnant with a toddler because my colon is so inflamed from laxative abuse. It has been like this for years. Now, anytime I eat/consume anything, it swells. And it fucking sucks. So there you go. Laxatives in all their ~m1@~ glory.
i feel like this is something people need to see and know about.
this makes me really sad.
Raising awareness can prevent this.
I feel as though people should learn from this.
Please reblog this so that everyone can see it, even if it doesn’t matter to you it might help one of your followers
I know laxatives are trendy in the ED community atm but PLEASE have some common sense! They don’t help you to lose weight, they just ruin your precious metabolism. If you consider starting using them after binges, this is your sign NOT TO DO IT. EVER.
I know people in AA or NA get chips for their anniversaries of being clean, right? And I know that self harm isn’t the same as drug or alcohol dependency, I get that, but it is very often a coping skill that becomes a type of addiction for us. And staying clean is hard, and relapses can happen, and recovery isn’t something people feel like they can talk about, or get congratulated on.
But I know how hard it is, and I’m literally so proud of you for staying clean. Whether it’s been for one day or three years, whether you’ve relapsed, I’m so proud of you for making it this far.
If you’re comfortable with it, I would love to mail you a keychain I make to celebrate your one month, three months, six months, year, or multiple years achievement of staying clean. Because someone needs to appreciate it, and you deserve a reminder that someone else in the world knows exactly how hard you’ve fought for this and is proud of you, and that you’ve done really well.
These are what they’d be like. I can add more white hearts for however many months or years you’ve been clean, or do something else that would suit you better if you want.
These are all the colors I can use, so whatever you like most, I can use! Just message me if you’d like to receive one of these, or talk about your story, or just want me to let you know I’m proud of you, okay? You’re doing amazing. You’re going to keep making it through. 💕
Since @ staff is updating tumblr to not include any “adult content”, I purposefully waited until after the 17th to upload this post. They’re most likely going to be deleting blogs and ed tags, so here are some new ones that we can use instead of old ed tags! (In an effort to not get our blogs deleted, please reblog!)
