TessOlivia,
Pocrescophobia.
Pocrescophobia- fear of gaining weight or becoming fat.
This phobia is different than anorexia or an eating disorder. In eating disorders ones mind sees themselves as overweight and diet, not eat, or vomit their food in hopes to lose weight that is not there.
I have this phobia; I am not struggling with an eating disorder, but I am very cautious about gaining weight. I know I am not over weight. My fear is gaining.
And yesterday (Oct 11th) was face your fears day, so this was appropriate. xD
Those numbers were a pain in the ass to edit on there... so please do not look at them closely.
This is also part of my Body Insecurities series. So please check that out.
Face Your Fears...
