Fact check

Today, I had to finally accept that I have an eating disorder when I caught myself checking for the nutrition facts and calories on my shampoo. FML

No wonder I've gotten so fat. I don't use the recommended amount of shampoo; I just slather my hair with as much as I can.

Acceptance is the first stage :) Eating disorders are hard to get over, so good luck :)

Umm your problem is not checking the calories in the shampoo...it's eating shampoo in the first place.

They were making a reference to an fml about vegetarianism from early this week. basically some girls boyfriend threated to break up if she didnt get over her eating disorder of vegetarianism.

Remember OP, food is your medicine. Good luck with this monster! Don't let it win!

Well, admitting the problem is the first step to recovery! Best of luck to you, OP.

I don't think OP is actually eating the shampoo. Some people are concerned with calories getting into their body by any means, not just ingestion. Maybe she was afraid the shampoo had a high caloric content and would seep into her scalp while using it. At least she's admitted she has a disorder. Now to beat the monster, OP!

Maybe she was worried the "calories" from her shampoo and conditioner would seep into her skin - I've heard many people with eating disorders worry about that before. No matter how strange this may seem to some users, OP clearly has a problem and the food jokes (although lighthearted) are slightly insensitive. Good luck OP.
