This is not a SFW instance. NSFW communities will be tagged, and efforts will be made to keep SFW communities clean, but proceed at your own comfort level.
Yeah CICO is technically true but as a thin person myself people really do not adequately account for normal stress response. My body’s natural response to stress is anorexia (the symptom, not nervosa / the disorder). I don’t have better self control I just lose my appetite when I’m upset vs some people get hungrier. It’s not even necessarily a healthy response, if I got cancer or another serious illness I would really struggle to take in enough calories to fight it off properly. In fact old people with a lil chub survive serious hospitalization a lot more readily.
