The first step to overcoming a problem is admitting you have one. This does not require self-blame. Addressing one's health problems is better thought of as self-care. You cannot possibly address a problem you do not first own.

Self-acceptance sounds great but if you use it to mean 'accept that a self-destructive behaviour is perfectly fine' you are not doing your *self* justice. Even if you never fully overcome it, you can feel good about making small steps to better health.

'Tone deaf' is largely meaningless. I decide which tone I want to hit. If you think it's the wrong one, explain why.

I don't think being a healthy weight is a moral imperative. People have every right to risk their own lives in any way they choose. We only have one. Make your own choices. I do not take anti-epileptics even tho a seizure could kill me because they make my quality of life so poor

I would rather be able to think clearly and focus and read complicated texts and remember things than be safe from the risk that one of my rare seizures will kill me but be dull & easily confused & unable to follow a conversation & asleep for 2/3rds of my life.

My neurologist called me 'irresponsible' for this decision. I don't care. My life is not worth living if I cannot think and write. Perhaps some people feel this way about food? If so, I support their choice. I do not support uninformed, misled or self-deluded choices.
