i think recoveryspo is in theory useful as a means of harm reduction—shifting your goal from a dangerously low weight to a less dangerous one is obviously good. but it isn’t Really a change in the conception of the body

because otherwise you will never have a wholly « healthy » relationship to food + to the body. the goal is to increase intake for the sake of health itself right. to reframe the purpose of the body

like if we accept that restrictive disorders are a product of societal pressures then the solution imo is not to strive for a slightly different aesthetic goal in the name of the exact same societal standard, right ?

i understand this is edtwt and people aiming to recover in future can say whatever they think. i am talking more about recovery influencers who post their underweight bodies to degrade them in relation to the « superior beauty » of their recovered or pre disorder bodies… mostly

bc you still conceive of your body only in relation to its value as an aesthetic object. it MAY be productive to urge people TOWARDS recovery to praise a healthy body in opposition to an underweight one, but to attempt recovery on this premise alone is, imo, a futile pursuit

and trying to attain a healthy body at a higher weight does not address the Eating disorder. you have to unlearn the underlying psychological mechanisms motivating your underweight , namely fatphobia. increasing your intake so you move from bmi 16 to bmi 21 is not recovery

the aim of recovery is to restore food intake + eating behaviour to a healthy level. it is not to increase your weight to be prettier, to mitigate the « negative » aesthetic effects of underweight. framing your underweight body as ugly

recoveryspo is not a productive way to think about your own recovery
