Hello and welcome to another episode of Eyeway with Jemida Jamil, a podcast against shame.

I hope you're well. It's a lot going on. It's December.

Truly one of the most triggering months of the year for such a multitude of reasons.

It is a difficult month for people who struggle with self-image and eating disorders

and there's a lot of party and going on. That's really difficult for introverts and people with social anxiety.

The diet fucking industry is already getting ready for all of us.

Already earlier than usual putting out the adverts about how we're going to have to lose the weight from the food that we haven't even eaten yet on Christmas day.

We haven't even been able to enjoy our fucking dessert and our fucking turkey and potatoes with our friends and family before they are already telling us about intermittent fasting and starving ourselves.

So we can be beach body ready by next summer which is six months away. Also, that's not a thing.

If you have a body at the beach, your beach fucking body ready. But we know this.

Just be careful. Just be careful online.

Know that these people are targeting you. It is the same old shit every year.

If you are new to this every single January everyone jumps on the new year. New you thing where they tell you really just new year.

Hopefully thinner you. And as I've been popping our fall over social media we have a new rise of the super skinny coming back.

I want to be very clear when I remind you where that comes from.

That comes from the fact that not only is fashion cyclical and trends get recycled again and again and again every 10 years especially for women.

They choose not only to tell us what to wear but also what body type to have when we wear the newest temporary fad of bullshit clothing.

So currently post pandemic it just so happens that after all the factories had to shut down during covid and fabric is much harder to come by for designers and fabric is much more expensive than it was before.

It just so happens I'm sure purely coincidentally that the fashion is to charge the same but for skirts and jumpers and jeans that are much less material forcing us to be more exposed forcing us according to them to have to be thinner and for us to take up less space because they're clothes take up less space on our bodies because they don't have the money for the fucking fabric.

So because of that they are happy to throw all of us down the fucking endless pipeline of hell that is an eating disorder.

I said this many times in this podcast that only 30% of people with anorexia ever recover is such a fucking dangerous game to play with people's minds and they're doing it for a nonsense fucking fashion trend.

They think our bodies are still trends in 2023 almost they still think our bodies are trends they still think that we are so fucking gullible that they can say heroin she goes back and we'll believe them.
