the difference between these two 🥺 both??
funny story though. my roommate is still taking food but my memory is so bad when it comes to things i don’t eat myself (adhd)
when i talk to friends and family about the situation the first thing they ask is, “are you sure you’re not sleep eating?” which is adorable. they wanna believe, even if for a second, that maybe i’m not truly at fault for making myself into such a cow 🥺 i get it bc im getting very fat even with the thievery but at the same time. im literally being gaslit

The hardest part of having an ed is relearning how to eat.
Changing your mindset from “to live is to eat” to “to eat is to live” takes time, dedication, and restraint, but it’s so worth it in the end.
You got this!! Keep going!! You’re doing great!! :)

It actually does bother me that eating is treated like spending money - that you have an allotted allowance in the form of calories that you are supposed to budget.
"How are you spending your calories?" I'm spending them on experiences. I'm spending them on time with my community, my people, those who matter to me. I'm spending them on satiating a human need. I'm spending them on the feeling of being alive and not just living.
If there is one experience that I don't want to "pay" for, it's the basic human right of comfort, security, community, and care.

Thin privilege is not being laughed out of your therapists office when you confess to eating less than 900 calories for an entire month.
Thin privilege is not having another therapist tell you you can't have an eating disorder because "you certainly don't look like you have one!"
Thin privilege is being forgiven and comforted when you have a panic attack over an extra 100 calories you weren't accounting for instead of being scolded.
Thin privilege is knowing you'll get treatment for an eating disorder instead of being dismissed.
Thin privilege is knowing you don't have to loose dangerous amounts of weight to be taken seriously.
Thin privilege is asking for help and getting it.

Actually I do think that it's super important to talk about the fact that cutting 500 calories a day for a 1lb a week weight loss is considered "slow" or "moderate" weight loss.
*IF* you can sustain that for a year that is a 52 pound loss in a year, which is pretty fucking fast, actually, but people act like you're a hopeless defeatist if you start talking about weight loss in terms of 1 pound a month because people want *results* but if you're talking about being able to sustain weight loss (which some people just straight up cannot for a variety of reasons and is not reasonable to *expect* everybody to be able to do) then it's kind of fucking bonkers that doctors and the American heart association and diabetes infographics and whatever talk about doing the kinds of diets that typically only last 3-6 months (12-26 pounds at a pound a week) and expect people to maintain those losses.
When you talk to doctors it is extremely reasonable to say "okay, and how, specifically, should I do that?" when they say to lose twenty pounds, but what is ALSO a very reasonable question that I never see brought up is "okay, by when?" and if they say "within the next year" it's also perfectly reasonable to say "why does it have to be in that time period?" Because if we're talking about the benefits of a 5% weight loss for reducing the weight-associated risks of heart disease or diabetes, then losing that weight over five years instead of over six months should be as effective, and is much more likely to be a lasting change instead of something that kicks off a bunch of weight cycling (which has its own terrible side effects that are bad for you).
There are some people for whom, for a number of reasons, it is impossible or near impossible to lose weight in the long term. It is possible for most people to lose weight in the short term, with a significant amount of effort. Maintaining long-term weight loss is exceptionally difficult and it seems like it's not feasible for large numbers of people, and I can't help but wonder if that's because what we're considering 'long term' really isn't long term at all.
If you've spent time around people trying to put on muscle you'll see something that I think is actually a more reasonable approach to long-term body changes, and that is recognition of the fact that you can only put on a (relatively) tiny amount of muscle in a year. For most people who have been training for any length of time, it's between 5-7 pounds and it gets harder to put on more the longer you've trained. Lifters and bodybuilders who recognize this and still want to put on muscle understand that they are in for an extremely long-term project that they have to intentionally maintain and put a lot of effort toward.
I want you to think about anyone you know who is a serious gym rat. I want you to think about how many hours a week they spend in the gym, and what they're giving up in exchange for that time. I want you to think about how much they spend on equipment and gym memberships and protein powder and first aid and very specific foods. If you know someone who's a very serious gym rat, you probably think they're a little unreasonable, that that's too much effort to put into looking good in a tank top.
But that's pretty analogous to the kind of effort, planning, and expense that needs to be put into maintaining a long term weight loss. And that effort needs to be put in forever - no matter if you're having kids or your partner is hospitalized or if your financial situation changes or if you are permanently injured, just like a bodybuilder can't expect to keep their gains if they're suddenly spending ten hours a week at the hospital instead of the gym.
I mean, people talk about weight loss and they get angry when you bring up the statistical failure of things like Weight Watchers or if you discuss how destructive dieting can be and they go "so, what, are you saying it's impossible to lose weight?" And the answer is, no, not for everyone.
It is possible for most people to lose weight. Just like it's possible for most people to become competitive bodybuilders. But we frame "mid-30s mother with two kids and a long commute and a full time job needs to lose 10 pounds and keep if off" as a task with a difficulty curve similar to learning how to cook a few crockpot meals, not similar to becoming a competitive bodybuilder.

i'm restricting at college again and that means it's time for another recipe 👀
banana pancakes (237) 🥞
~ ingredients ~
medium banana (105)
large egg (72)
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour (55)
nonstick spray (5)
~ instructions ~
preheat a pan over medium heat
using a fork, mash banana in a bowl until mostly smooth, though a few chunks won't be an issue
add an egg to banana mash and whisk until combined
add flour and mix until combined, being sure not to over-mix
spray pan with nonstick spray (if needed, one spray should suffice for both pancakes) and add pancake batter, using about half for each pancake. flip when underside is golden brown, then remove when both sides are
~ alterations ~
replace all-purpose flour with any flour you prefer (oat, whole wheat, etc.)
remove flour entirely for a more crepe-like texture (and fewer calories, coming out to about 182)
omit the nonstick spray if you have a high-quality nonstick pan
using ripe or over-ripe bananas lends a lot of sweetness, but feel free to add your favorite zero-calorie sweetener
this one isn't quite dorm-friendly, sorry fellow college friends, but i'm in a university apartment this year so i have a stove. if your school is cool enough to let you have a hot plate (or if you have a kitchenette in a common area) this can work for you too

hot take but
kinda was researching about the time when "big sugar" paid off scientists and people to push their own agenda
and now I'm kinda thinking about all of the dieticians on yt tt and ig just
constany pushing for people to eat more to stop fasting and telling everyone they have eating disorders for no reason
because when you think about it
the eat 5 to 6 times a day recommendation really is fucking crazy
I mean...
most people work so they're not going to be having access to home cooked meals for at least 8 hours in the day but with the recommendation to eat more what do you think they'll be eating?
"any food is better than no food" is it really though?

no one. and i mean this NO ONE. is naturally fat or thin. you are either overestimating your caloric intake or underestimating your caloric intake. i thought i was naturally skinny, then i saw how other people eat. my daily caloric intake is just habitually about 500 calories less than i should be eating. the same is true for people who think they’re eating the right amount, but overshoot by about 500 calories. it is always always always CICO. you cannot defy the laws of thermodynamics.
