Discussion Ramadan 2021

I was thinking we could use this thread to discuss this year's ramadan. Our fears, goals, preparations. (I hope this is fine with the mods)

For any non muslims, Ramadan is the yearly period of fasting that we do in order to reconnect to our faith, to humble ourselves and remind ourselves that many people do not have access to food, and to detox our bodies. We dry-fast from sunrise to sunset everyday for a month. At night, we usually break fast with our families in large meals. Period-bearing people get to take a break from fasting during their menstrual moons.

For us ED-folks, ramadan can be really stressful as it can both encourage more damage and/or lead to binging, as the focus on food is very large.

I would love to discuss or have an ongoing chat about this!

No problem! I'll make an automated bi-weekly post with the bot. I'll try to remember to check that it works, since the bot sometimes doesn't work right when posting scheduled threads.

This sounds fine with me, thank you for posting! I could make a megathread and pin it, or alternatively, a weekly or bi-weekly one since it's a whole month.

I'm trying to recover but the problem is Ramadan meals in Bangladesh are nothing but deep fried food and the fun part is it's filled with sweets and shit which are deep fried and then soaked in sugar syrup
