About

REFUSED_EMBRACE is a community for sharing diet tips and posting progress pictures to show your dieting successes!

I know there are a million ED-related communities on livejournal, so that's why I'm choosing to limit this one ONLY to posting progress pictures and sharing insights on what's been working for you. I want to keep this community from fading into another

anagurls or

body_obsession or such... though great communities themselves, they already exist, and we don't need to recreate them. So a brief list of rules:

#1 - Please restrict all posts to progress, stats, and dieting methods or specific diets/dieting plans. As far as text, don't post personal anecdotes about the fight you had today with your boyfriend; similarly, as far as images, don't post your new haircut. We love you, we care what you do and how your hair looks, and that's why we will read all about it in your personal journal. :)

#2 - For image posters: PLEASE USE LJ-CUT. (Don't know how to?) It's perfectly okay to post one picture and then have a cut under it (actually, I like it best that way, personally), just don't have a whole list of pictures in the main entry, for the sake of maintaining the sanity of people reading from their friends lists.

#3 - NUDITY = BAD. I would love to see you naked, I'm sure, but naked is a) not work-safe or family-computer-safe, and b) probably illegal or ban-material as far as LJ is concerned... I haven't re-read through the LJ user policy to see but I'm assuming I won't have to worry about being banned, since I'm telling you all now that posting naked pictures will bring hellfire raining down on your family and I'm sure you won't do it. :) That said, if you're "covered appropriately" then hey, go for it. I just don't want to see any T&A, but I do still want to see your ribs. Heh.

#3 - Finally, PLEASE RESPECT EACH OTHER. DO not come in here trashing people, and keep an open mind. If you don't want to be here, don't be, and keep your negativity regarding the lifestyle choices of others silent. We all make our own choices in life and, good or bad, we're not here to judge them. Feel free to hop on over to

anadebate, a wonderful community for discussing your views on EDs. THANK YOU.

Now that all that has been said, I request that you post and post often! Tell your friends about this community! Help me promote it! We need to spread the word to the LJ world and get this thing kickin'! One of the biggest thinspirations for me is to see the progress of other people whose diets I am following on their LJs and LJ communities that I've joined, and it helps to make your own diet progress seem more real when you show it to others and get feedback... so post your pictures, stats, and help us out with dieting tips that have worked for you!

Link-back buttons coming soon! Please post them in your user info and websites. :)
