Weight scale banned from campus gym students call it triggering

[Eaglewings]

These days weight is an obsession ...I would rather have the scale removed than seeing a young person die from starving herself, or throwing up everything she eats which causes organ failure..to go down in record that she lost a few pounds

Okay, that's just about as retarded as it gets. What's next? Removing the scale from the Doctor's office?

The grocery store? Where does it end? P.E. is P.E.

Now drop and give me 50, punk.

I had to drop and do 50 pushups on pavement so hot it blistered my palms before.

I preferred that to getting a referral and having to see the Dean.

Coach caught me cussing.

Seriously why is a scale in a P.E school room? No need for it...

A doctors office , well I get it being there.. but they are not in the recovery hospitals for those with eating disorders..

Scales are used to weigh wrestlers to make sure they are eligable to wrestle in their weight classes.

This is some stupid shit

Then bring in out for that, are the people too lazy to move it back and forth..

I am an addiction counselor and have studied many hours for a license and a degree.

You are a snowflake...and a huge part of the problem.

You are stepping into a zone where you know nothing about, unless if you are or have family who is an addict..There is no need to have a scale out 24/7 in a High school PE room.
Your party uses snowflake to get out of showing facts or evidence to backup their theory..It is getting old.

Ginny Leary, LPC, CSAT-C, a therapist at The Ranch mental health treatment center in Tennessee, agrees that weighing yourself can backfire. Having worked with people struggling with eating disorders, she warns that self-weighing can become “a weapon, a gauge for self-worth, a means to maintain a sense of control, and validation for success. The number on the scale becomes the idol, obsession and sometimes the fuel for continued destructive behavior.”

In a study that monitored the weighing practices of 1,900 young adults, Carly Pacanowski, PhD, RD, and her colleagues found that those who weighed themselves more often experienced higher levels of depression and weight concern (thinking a lot about being thinner and fear of gaining weight) and lower self-esteem and body satisfaction. Interestingly, more frequent weighing did not lead to better weight control.

Spoken like a true nutty snowflake.

What if, there was a yuge mural of Carter's presidential physical fitness award on the wall? Aye?



Along with names of everyone in the school that earned it.

 

[jasonnfree]

Time for our new president to start a fitness program for the youth, much like JFK did after becoming prez.

Most mental health freaks, are liberal , most are trendy democratic liberals of course they are going to say that bs.
They have the power to say anything they want and because society thinks because they are an " EXPERT" they are the know all, BS mental illness can't even be proven based off any scientific evidence only allegeded statistics.

a scale doesn't make you not eat
a scale doesn't make you eat

and anorexia is more tied to perceived body image not because there is a scale in the gym

When an addict is in recovery you remove triggers ... once you are an addict your subconscious brain changes for the rest of your life..you keep the conscious part of the brain on recovery..but if you bring in a trigger relapse possibilities are very high..

Which is the reason why recovering addicts stay away from bars/ people drinking for an alcoholic, gambling, sex , over eating ..shopping

Why would you put pies , drugs or alcohol, credit cards, or a porn movie in front of the addicts trying to recover for doing those things.. They are triggers for relapse.

It's not the responsibility of anyone to remove all perceived triggers from society

how the hell is an addict ever going to lean to live in the real world?

if we did what you say we;d have to get rid of every fast food place, greasy spoon diner, all you can eat buffet, all candy and soda not to mention every bar and liquor store etc ad nauseum all to appease a few addicts

everyone needs to know their weight
many athletic contests are separated into weight classes

so get over it snowflake

 

[Marion Morrison]

Duh triggered!

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

I can already see the final solution.....
The school will build a safe space for the scale using your tax dollars so the snowflakes wont be triggered whilst watching people who care about their weight use it.

 

[Eaglewings]

Go ahead a stay ignorant...I surely hope that you don't ever have a family member with a eating disorder, or a razor blade cutter ...

 

[Eaglewings]

Duh triggered!

You and Trump make a good team , making fun of a fatty..

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Go ahead a stay ignorant...I surely hope that you don't ever have a family member with a eating disorder, or a razor blade cutter ...

Oh gawd, you'll be after shaving commercials next

 

[ABikerSailor]

You know, when I first saw the OP, I was thinking that this is some of the stupidest crap I've ever seen, as well as was wondering where in America they would let the IQ drop so low..............................

But then, I saw this happened in Canada, and ceased to care.

 

[Skull Pilot]

Go ahead a stay ignorant...I surely hope that you don't ever have a family member with a eating disorder, or a razor blade cutter ...

we batter not allow anyone to shave anymore it might be a "trigger"

What's next? Lawsuits against the weight scale manufacturers for mental cruelty?

We've allowed the snowflakes to complain at the slightest discomfort, and now the absurd is real.

I'd ask how much worse it can get, but I'm afraid to find out. This story would not have been possible just a few years ago.
.

I've an upcoming physical.

I'll take this up with my Dr.

When she asks me to step on the scale I'll suggest that I'm being triggered and would respectfully request she refrain from interfering with my safe space.

Since I'm not overweight she will look at me in disbelief.

And probably suggest I see a shrink.

She hasn't asked me about my firearms since I told her that I have an arsenal in the basement.

Holy crap, suggesting a shrink could be a trigger, too.
