Tw - mention of EDs
The weight gain video she posted about “I don’t know what I’ll do if I gain weight” is along the lines of what people in ED recovery post and she’s jumped on it because it looks trendy. I hate how she pushes this narrative that she was restrictive and acts like she was unhealthily skinny. She was very into fitness, had a good amount of muscle, quads, bum etc which couldn’t be achieved if you were heavily restricting your intake. I’ve been there with a genuine ED and issues with restricting my food and there’s no way I could’ve built a figure that Carys had then when I was restricting.
She had a healthy figure, she worked out but because she doesn’t look like that anymore she demonises it and makes into a narrative that it isn’t.
Her mindset is if I make out I was restricting, unhealthy, too skinny etc then people will praise me for gaining weight, call me an inspiration rather than making comments about I was into fitness, was strong, fit etc but lost that and “got fat”.
