Tedious irregular reminder

Please filter me out of any posts about intentional weight loss.
I recognise that I'm open about a lot of the things I find difficult, and as such it's fairly easy to overlook the ones I talk about less, so here's your reminder.
If this isn't something you're willing to do, please let me know and I'll take appropriate steps to look after myself.

Date: 2018-11-28 06:36 pm (UTC)(Also if at any point I have a post/discussion/whatever that I've missed why it would apply, if you feel comfortable it would be helpful to tag me about that one specifically - just a "this is the kind of post I need not to see, even with cut tag!" is great, no justification or apology required, and is an actively helpful rather than intrusive communication if it is something that can be done.)

Date: 2018-11-28 06:43 pm (UTC)"Here is a clearly-stated practical purpose, I'm aware of the problems with the entire model/concept" is Less of a problem for me than just "weight loss yay". I cope slightly better with "for weight-category sport" as well, because a lot a lot of that is super focussed on losing a bunch of weight for the time in takes to weigh in (which can be as simple as "don't drink anything for 12 hours", which nobody is suggesting is a good or sustainable idea in general).

Date: 2018-11-29 02:28 pm (UTC)(The Actual Thing is something like "I really need to not be around normalisation and uncritical praise of disordered-eating behaviours like they're a laudable thing", not "all discussion of food and complicated diet is bad", it's just... hard to summarise that for the people I'm trying to address in a way that people don't get incredibly defensive about, & without getting dragged into conversations I really need to Not Have.)

Date: 2018-12-03 11:16 pm (UTC)I do occasionally link to things about harm prevention; hopefully that's not problematic for you.

Date: 2018-12-03 11:24 pm (UTC)Nope, that's fine - thanks for checking! It's just a frustration to me that if I make the plain statement up front it won't communicate to the people I need to address, and I haven't worked out a better option yet.

Date: 2018-11-28 10:20 pm (UTC)I prefer to be completely unable to see it; this is a topic where I often struggle with compulsivity around Needing To Know What's Being Said In Case It's A Tiger, if I can see it at all, and it's much easier for me to not have to spend the energy fighting myself over it.

Date: 2018-11-29 07:34 pm (UTC)Things that involve anything like that have a specific tag and I think tag blocking is a thing, but I am not quite sure right now?
(Ear infection, massive antibiotics, wee.)

Date: 2018-11-29 07:40 pm (UTC)Grumbling about unintentional isn't a problem for me.
Tag-filtering relies on having a paid account so I'd prefer not to set up a situation where if I run out of paid account I end up getting nasty surprises.
For what it's worth, though, I don't think I've had problems with anything you've posted that I've been able to see.
