\"\"<\/a>A couple of weeks ago, the New York Times posted an article<\/a> about brides going to extremes to lose weight before their weddings. One doctor charges healthy women $1500 to insert a\u00a0 feeding tubes in their noses for ten days so that they can\u00a0\u00a0 receive nutrition while they starve themselves to knock off a few pounds in time for the big day. How is it that it has become socially acceptable for a doctor<\/em> to support self mutilation and eating disorder?<\/p>\n

Of course we want to look pretty on our wedding days. But at the expense of our health? Are we willing to pay someone to monitor and encourage our eating disorder? Sadly\u00a0 I can’t say that I’m particularly surprised by this.\u00a0 People have been profiting off of other people’s desperation since the beginning of time.\u00a0 But a doctor? This is what’s so outrageous here. What has happened to our ethical standards?\u00a0 As a medical professional, how is it that this person not only supports, but encourages these self harming behaviors?\u00a0 Is this doctor blatantly ignoring the Hippocratic Oath because doing so is lucrative?<\/p>\n

There’s a lesson here about being discriminating and understanding that just because a doctor (or any professional) is willing to support the disordered part of you, doesn’t mean that it’s okay.\u00a0\u00a0 There will always be someone who exists who will exploit the parts of you that will exploit you, which is why you need to engage (often) with your wise mind, the part of you that knows right from wrong, the part of you that knows the best way to care for yourself.<\/p>\n

So, that’s the bad news. But not everyone is trying to profit off of your dark side.<\/a>\u00a0 Instagram, Tumblr, and Pinterest have all banned self harm sites.\u00a0 Way to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
