What is certain is that he [the baby] has too much attention from the one person who is entirely at his disposal. The intimacy between mother and child is not sustaining and healthy. The child learns to exploit his mother's accessibility, badgering her with questions and demands which are not of any real consequence to him, embarrassing her in public, blackmailing her into buying sweets and carrying him. ~ Germaine Greer
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Germaine Greer
As I look back at my past - it wasn't easy, but I wouldn't change a thing, because it made me who I am today. It is so rejuvenating knowing I made it and still have a lot to live for. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
The situation is established not only to provoke defensiveness but to sidetrack the reformer into answering the wrong questions.... In this, the pattern of discourse resembles that of dinnertime conversations about feminism in the early 1970s. Questions of definition often predominate. Whereas feminists were parlaying questions which trivialized feminism such as "Are you one of those bra burners?" vegetarians must define themselves against the trivializations of "Are you one of those health nuts?" or "Are you one of those animal lovers?" While feminists encountered the response that "men need liberation too," vegetarians are greeted by the postulate that "plants have life too." Or to make the issue appear more ridiculous, the position is forwarded this way: "But what of the lettuce and tomato you are eating; they have feelings too!"

The attempt to create defensiveness through trivialization is the first conversational gambit which greets threatening reforms. This pre-establishes the perimeters of discourse. One must explain that no bras were burned at the Miss America pageant, or the symbolic nature of the action of that time, or that this question fails to regard with seriousness questions such as equal pay for equal work. Similarly, a vegetarian, thinking that answering these questions will provide enlightenment, may patiently explain that if plants have life, then why not be responsible solely for the plants one eats at the table rather than for the larger quant ~ Carol J. Adams
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Carol J. Adams
I am forever engaged in a silent battle in my head over whether or not to lift the fork to my mouth, and when I talk myself into doing so, I taste only shame. I have an eating disorder. ~ Jena Morrow
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Jena Morrow
I am trying to keep the strength I have gained to fight my fears. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful for being able to smile again. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I am not fine! I am not okay! How can I be fine and okay and not even know myself? I have no clue who I am. The only thing I know is my name. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I always have to put on my best face. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I've come to realize that hunger feels more like home than any tangible structure ever has, or probably ever will. I know now that creating absence is my way of coping with absence. ~ Kris Kidd
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Kris Kidd
Food is something I am going to have to face at least three times a day for the rest of my life. And I am not perfect. But one really bad day does not mean that I am hopeless and back at square one with my eating disorder. Olympic ice skaters fall in their quest for the gold. Heisman Trophy winners throw interceptions. Professional singers forget the words. And people with eating disorders sometimes slip back into an old pattern. But all of these individuals just pick themselves back up and do the next right thing. The ice skater makes the next jump. The football player throws the next pass. The singer finishes the song. And I am going to eat breakfast. ~ Jenni Schaefer
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Jenni Schaefer
I am almost at the finish line.
I am trying to make it the best way I can. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I'm mad because girls as young as eight years old are being shamed about their bodies. Fifth graders go on diets and admire Instagram pics of celebs in waist trainers. Some of the people I'm closest to have struggled with eating disorders. I'm mad at an industry that suggests that painfully thin is the only acceptable way to be. Please don't get on me for skinny shaming. If that's how you are shaped, God bless, but we gotta mix it up, because it's upsetting and confusing to women with other body types. ~ Amy Schumer
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Amy Schumer
Eating disorders are usually nothing to do with food. Parents need to be with their child to see them through it. All the therapists in the world can't help if the parents aren't present, loving, and proactive. ~ Olivia Newton-John
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Olivia Newton-John
Your lowest moment and life can be your best if you survive it and learn from it ~ Brian Cuban
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Brian Cuban
I get lost inside my own mind. At times, my mind is like a maze, and most of the time, I am afraid of my own thoughts. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I think sometimes making yourself vulnerable before you are ready is exactly what can hold you accountable. Do what you fear. ~ Brittany Burgunder
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Brittany Burgunder
There have been so many stories about alcoholism and drugs. Eating disorders are also a form of abuse, but rarely a theme in feature films that aren't documentaries. ~ Sanna Lenken
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Sanna Lenken
It is called a disorder for a reason. Because it makes no rational sense. It's completely counterproductive and, the saddest part, it is also dissatisfying and damaging. ~ Callie Bowld
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Callie Bowld
Drug addicts will likely suffer from other addictive or dysfunctional behaviours. Seldom will you meet a drug addict who does not exhibit multiple addictive behaviours. Because drug addiction and eating disorders are impossible to ignore so are often in the splotlight, often subtler addictive behaviours, such as love addiction, compulsive underearning and sex addictions, may be neglected. ~ Christopher Dines
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Christopher Dines
I want better for myself and I am determined to have it. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I have a history of eating disorders but, as a mother, you think of being an example to your child. I'm so much more balanced than I was. ~ Geri Halliwell
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Geri Halliwell
I am in love with myself. I am healthy. I am loving and loved. I am determined to take a step towards recovery. I am alive. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
What can you improve on today? ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Dead skin is brittle and dry, and when it sheds, our skin glows and it is smooth and vibrant. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I am the only one who can create the missing piece of the wing. I have created it, and now - I am whole. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I won't compromise or apologize for something I didn't do. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Because of media portrayals, clinicians may believe that dissociative identity disorder presents with dramatic, florid alternate identities with obvious state transitions (switching). These florid presentations occur in only about 5% of patients with dissociative identity disorder.(20) How ever, the vast majority of these patients have subtle presentations characterized by a mixture of dissociative and PTSD symptoms embedded with other symptoms, such as post-traumatic depression, substance abuse, somatoform symptoms, eating disorders, and self-destructive and impulsive behaviors.(2,10) ~ Bethany L. Brand
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Bethany L. Brand
In that six months, so much happened that death seemed, primarily, inconvenient. The trial period was extended. I seem to keep extending it. There are many things to do. There are books to write and naps to take. There are movies to see and scrambled eggs to eat. Life is essentially trivial. You either decide you will take the trite business of life and give yourself the option of doing something really cool, or you decide you will opt for the Grand Epic of eating disorders and dedicate your life to being seriously trivial. ~ Marya Hornbacher
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Marya Hornbacher
All of us carry around countless bags of dusty old knickknacks dated from childhood: collected resentments, long list of wounds of greater or lesser significance, glorified memories, absolute certainties that later turn out to be wrong. Humans are emotional pack rats. These bags define us. ~ Marya Hornbacher
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Marya Hornbacher
I lift my arm out of the water. It's a log. Put it back under and it blows up even bigger. People see the log and call it a twig. They yell at me because I can't see what they see. Nobody can explain to me why my eyes work different than theirs. Nobody can make it stop. ~ Laurie Halse Anderson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Laurie Halse Anderson
•Eating disorders are addictions. You become addicted to a number of their effects. The two most basic and important: the pure adrenaline that kicks in when you're starving - you're high as a kite, sleepless, full of a frenetic, unstable energy - and the heightened intensity of experience that eating disorders initially induce. At first, everything tastes and smells intense, tactile experience is intense, your own drive and energy themselves are intense and focused. Your sense of power is very, very intense. You are not aware, however, that you are quickly becoming addicted. ~ Marya Hornbacher
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Marya Hornbacher
Eating disorders are prevalent among women who were sexually abused as children. They seem to have components of other symptoms such as obsessions, compulsions, avoidance of food, and anxiety, and they primarily include a distorted body image and feelings of body shame.
For some women, eating disorders are related to the loss of control over their bodies during the sexual abuse and serve as a means of feeling in control of their bodies now. Eating disorders can also be indicative of the developmental stage and age at which the sexual abuse began. Women with anorexia and bulimia report that they were sexually abused either at the age of puberty or during puberty, when their bodies were beginning to develop and they felt a great deal of body shame from the abuse. By contrast, women with compulsive eating report that the sexual abuse occurred before the age of puberty; they used food for comfort. ~ Karen A. Duncan
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Karen A. Duncan
I am my own remedy.

I am my only way out.

It starts with me. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
You are a coward. You don't have power over me anymore. I am free from your lies. I am free from your watered-down poison venom - you can bite me, but it will not affect me anymore. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I wanted you to rescue me but you were the raging storm that hindered me from seeing and knowing my worth. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I'm a food addict. I've tried everything- Weight Watchers, The South Beach, raw food, Atkins, low-fat diets. Nothing works for me." I looked at him and said, "Have you tried suffering?" He laughed out loud, as if I was joking. I wasn't joking. ~ Frederick Woolverton
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Frederick Woolverton
He doesn't see my breasts or my waist or my hips. He only sees the nightmare. ~ Laurie Halse Anderson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Laurie Halse Anderson
I need to finish this scarf/shawl/blanket thing so I can start something for Emma- a hat, maybe, or a sweater for her stuffed elephant. ~ Laurie Halse Anderson
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Laurie Halse Anderson
...painfully curious...about how it feels to fall. ~ Marya Hornbacher
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Marya Hornbacher
There's a weight in the room now, a remembrance of childhood. It sinks like a stone, or a heart, or my weight on a good day. ~ Kris Kidd
Feminism Eating Disorders quotes by Kris Kidd
Life is much like a piece of cake,
Overeat and you get a stomachache. ~ Ana Claudia Antunes
