AITA for "not forgiving" my mom because she ate my chocolate chips?

🍫🍫 to recognize

This is probably a ridiculous argument but I genuinely don't know if I'm in the wrong or if my mom's an asshole, so, here we go.

I (mid 20s M) like to make pancakes for dinner sometimes. I tend to accompany them with chocolate chips, honey, and banana. I only make the pancakes for myself and not for my mom (mid 50s F), whom I live with, because she's in a "keto diet" and doesn't want to eat carbohydrates, which is an entire argument on its own, but it is not the focus (although relevant).

Some time ago (from the date I sent this, two or three weeks ago I think???) I accompanied my mom to buy some groceries, and I bought a bag of chocolate chips for myself, alongside other things for my pancakes (like flour and banana). I left them on the cupboard (except the banana ofc), and I expected them to, y'know, stay there.

Except a week or so ago I was looking through the cupboard looking for something else and noticed the chocolate chips bag wasn't there. My mom does have an awful tendency of eating my food or at least things that were bought by ME to be consumed by ME, so I straight up asked her if she ate them and she said "yes :(" almost ashamed. I honestly got pissed off due to the previously mentioned fact that this is not a first time thing, and then she started saying things like "well it's chocolate" and "I didn't ate them all at once I ate them slowly" and "you left them there for a long time" and "I bought them anyway", with the last thing being a lie because I bought them with MY money, thing she apparently "forgot".

I honestly haven't "forgiven" her yet, and with "forgiven" I mean I still expect her to go to that place and buy the chips again, this time with her money, and I told her so multiple times. But she's meanwhile expecting me to go with her again to that place and buy them with my money... when I shouldn't because I already bought them before! And she ate them! But now she's telling me I'm exaggerating and that in big families there's no such thing as "my food" or "someone else's food", everything's shared. And yeah, as you can guess from this now, I'm an only child (and only grandchild and the only nephew my child-free uncle has), so I guess the only point she has is that I'm not used to have to share things with siblings or cousins.

So Tumblr, I'm an asshole for expecting to have my own food and not wanting to share with my mom, or she's the asshole for taking things that weren't bought with her in mind?

Note: By the time I sent this ask, she also ate an entire jar of honey and crackers I also bought with my money a few nights ago because "she couldn't sleep, was anxious and thought she could calm down with eating". This is the second jar of honey in the month I buy that she ends up eating on her own and that I meanwhile could barely consume anything of. I didn't even opened the crackers.

Note 2: You can eat chocolate in keto diets as long as it is dark chocolate, but this one was milk chocolate. Honey and crackers are definitely not keto. So she's breaking her own precious diet.

What are these acronyms?

How Much Does Water Weigh?

It's not a trick question. One liter of water weighs one kilogram--the science is set up that way.

How much is a kilogram? Approximately 2.2lbs.

How much of you is water? Approximately 60%, though this varies by organ type.

If you're about 70 kilos, or about 154 pounds, that means you have around 42 liters of water in you--about 92 pounds.

You cannot function with less water than your body needs. Many people, when they think they're losing or gaining "weight," think they're talking about fat when they're actually talking about water. The underlying structure of your body doesn't change that fast. You didn't "sweat out" fat. You dehydrated yourself, and since water weighs quite a bit, that made the number of the scale smaller. Your body is the same, except it works worse when it's dehydrated.

It is normal to see shifts in weight over the course of a day, because your hydration status changes. You wake up and you've been using up water without replacing it, so you're lighter. You have a salty breakfast? The salt gets pulled into your bloodstream by the digestive process and then, thanks to osmosis, more water goes into your bloodstream. Your weight goes up. Fluctuations of multiple pounds are not a sign that your diet is succeeding or failing--it's a sign of the salt content of what you're eating and whether you're drinking enough water.

Diuretics are frequently abused to increase short-term weight loss. Again, the only weight this can take off you is fluid. Diuretic abuse can lead to life-threatening complications, like kidney failure; kidneys need to see fluid constantly to filter your bloodstream, and if they don't get it, imagine a wetlands where you choke off the water supply and silt chokes the channels. It's bad. Kidneys are very bad at healing. Damage can be permanent. You can also give yourself a condition called hyponatremia, which is not at a chemical level a lack of salt, as the name might suggest, but an excess of water--your body dumps so much urine that it takes salt with it and now you don't have enough to go around how much water is still in you. Guess what you need salt for? Neurotransmission. If you go hard on diuretics, you can fuck up neuronal transmission so much that you need to be in the ICU and/or die.

Recognize when "weight loss" bullshit is actually a diuretic, because those motherfuckers do not care if you are seriously injured or die as long as they get their profit off whatever "purge" tea they've just sold you.

(Things that make you shit yourself "thin"? Same deal. By the time food makes it through your intestines, you've reabsorbed all the nutrition you're gonna, even if you're shitting lava thanks to a laxative tea--but what you're shitting out is a lot of water, so yeah, your scale tells you you're thinner.)

Rewrite Game

Rules: rewrite the last line of the person who tagged you however you want, then give your last line for other people to try!

This is an interesting idea, I’m intrigued to see how it’ll turn out! Thank you for the tag @modernwritercraft. The line I got was:

She’s currently busy arranging a bouquet, deliberately picking each flower she wants in the arrangement.

I’m going to rewrite this as:

He watches her slim fingers carefully wrap around the next flower as she considers, then discards it. After a moment’s stillness, she chooses the next one with delicate care and precisely aligns it in the bouquet, brushing the other flowers to the side to make room.

Sorry, that’s two lines, but I think I got the spirit of it! I tried to go for something that suited what I know of your novel, lmk what you think.

My last line is (content warning for disordered thoughts around eating):

She didn’t eat lunch that day - it was a fitting punishment for how badly she’d failed.

@illarian-rambling @kaylinalexanderbooks @elsie-writes would you like to try this one out? I’m curious to see what you come up with :)

the four dungeon lords are my absolute favorite characters in dungeon meshi, and i've been thinking about why.

(warning for mentions of eating disorders)

sometime last fall, i spontaneously lost almost my entire appetite. eating became very uncomfortable, i lost interest in most foods and only a few remained tolerable to me, i started to feel "full" after only a few bites, like i physically couldn't eat any more. i ended up losing a worrying amount of weight before anyone figured out what was going on. this is almost certainly a form of ARFID, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, which is kind of an umbrella term for restricted eating that isn't caused by body image issues. i don't know why this happened to me, only that it's more common in autistic people.

so it would make sense that the characters who share the commonality of losing desires would resonate with me. something is wrong with the instincts that drive my survival, and now a thing that i'm supposed to desire, a thing that is necessary for my body to function, has become a chore i need to carefully plan around. it's frustrating, because i remember what that desire felt like, i know that i need this, but it's just... gone, and now i have to fight my way around its absence.

when talking about the themes of dungeon meshi, a lot of people focus on its presentation of the joy of eating. but what do you do if you've lost that? if eating is something difficult, something you don't want and find unpleasant? the manga does touch on these topics (anime's not there yet but it will), and that meant a lot to me.

Tumblr OP here. Reposted by request.

#pro tip#if youre worried about the calorie count of an egg and a slice of watermelon#get help (via @lottiethedottyhottie)

Yeah, just looking at that question combined with the plate set off every eating disorder alarm I have. That's 80 calories tops, assuming everything there is 100% digestible to completion with no intestinal dysfunction or upset (unlikely).

The fact that anyone can look at less calories than a kitten needs, and worry that they may be over feeding their full grown adult human body is the Reddest Flag.

This is a great time to remind you that:

9% of the world will go through an eating disorder

Eating disorders are second only to drug addiction for lethality among mental illnesses

An adult human needs 3000 to 4000 calories per day (at least 37x the plate shown here) (DOI for Scihub https://doi.org/10.1093/ajcn/60.5.676)

1500 calories per day is starvation torture not "dieting"

2 weeks of starvation ("dieting") can disrupt your metabolism for over 6 months (DOI for Scihub 10.1371/journal.pone.0004377)

Every single one of these claims is scientifically verifiable. They are all true.

If you see a friend or loved one talking the way the original OP is: help them eat more. It doesn't matter if they are young, old, fat, skinny, their gender or race. Anyone talking like this may be at risk.

Be gentle. Be kind.

Never reaffirm their fear of food.

the lack of healthy boundaries some swifties have is legitimately concerning... it goes beyond parasocial relationships discourse and becomes a matter of basic decency

man all the recent comments about how "val is so much happier now that he's no longer in mercedes" annoy me soooo much. and it's not even because i'm a merc fan! i agree his situation at merc wasn't the best, but the way people go on about how mistreated he was and how he's finally Free is so fucking annoying. not to mention straight up inaccurate.

first of all, can we stop woobifying the grown man who's made his own choices? thank you.

now that that's out of the way — valtteri's journey in f1 is something that's kinda super fucking personal to me, but also to him, right, obviously. because he was so fucking intense back when he was in williams, even initially at merc, and a lot of it was because he put so much pressure on himself to succeed. keep in mind he doesn't come from money, either. his parents are working class. it's not a stretch to imagine how much they must've sacrificed for him to be able to be where he is. that is an insane amount of pressure to succeed. on top of that, he was constantly told his body type is holding him back, that he needed to lose more weight, that he needed to be lighter. to the point that he had a motherfucking eating disorder. that he went and got help for, yes, but god, EDs fuck with you so bad. so fucking bad, take it from me. i don't think his eating habits got healthier until the current weight regs were announced. fucking imagine your team telling you that you need to starve yourself and be lighter or your car won't be fast. fucking imagine remembering all the shit your family went through just to get you into this exclusive sport for rich people, so now you HAVE to make it worth it.

on top of this, valtteri joined merc after the whole nico shitshow went down. i don't doubt that's part of why toto only kept him on one-year contracts (despite being his friend, and his manager prior to merc) — because drivers on one-year contracts live in constant fear of their seat being taken away if they put even a toe out of line. on top of that, valtteri, who wanted so bad to win a championship that he believed the one-year contracts and all that was worth it, was competing with lewis hamilton. he says it himself that it took him a long time to admit to himself that he's just not as good as lewis. but god, he TRIED, he tried so FUCKING HARD, man.

the valtteri we see now, the fun goofy guy who's living his best life — it took a lot for him to be able to become this valtteri, okay. i genuinely think he's one of the only drivers on the grid that actually realized how terrible the sport was for his health, and who then decided he wasn't going to let it ruin him. that's why he's letting himself be happy now. it's not because he was being held down and tortured by merc specifically or whatever narrative people fucking love peddling. it's because he's finally happy with who he is and where he is in life and he's letting it show instead of making racing his entire existence.

like it's literally so fucking irritating because it's so obvious who actually loves valtteri and who just loves slandering merc. valtteri himself has been given so many chances to slander merc, he's been baited well n good by the media all last year, and he's never said a single bad thing about them even though he so easily could. if he hated it so much why does he still hang out with lewis regularly. why does he still travel with toto in his jet? because they're his friends. he doesn't hate them, he doesn't blame them. but ofc people ignore all this when spinning their shitty narrative that victimizes valtteri for no fucking reason just to prove a point. god if you cared this much about drivers being treated badly you'd have a better case to make with checo in rbr or danny ric in mclaren or mick in haas (but that's another post for another day lol).

TLDR — stop fucking acting like merc tortured valtteri for realsies and he's 'enjoyable' now because he's 'free of them' fuck you he was always enjoyable y'all just want any excuse to shit on merc

Respondents can decide how much weight "counts" for the purposes of this poll.

Submitter is aware of statistics that the majority of people who attempt to lose weight do not succeed in the long term, and is interested to find out the contexts behind people's experiences with this. Clinical sources don't always provide a full picture, and mainstream sources tend to be very biased.

AITA for telling mom to stop giving me unhealthy food and then refusing to say "I love you" back?

I (16, FtM) am autistic, for the longest time I struggled with eating different types of foods, in fact, i only started eating vegetables when I was 16 because my nutritionist told me to. Since I have memory, i've been teased by my weight, all my life. It led me to make decisions i'm not very proud of (like getting groomed at 8-9 years old), because of my low self esteem.

I've gone to the nutritionist a total of 2 times in my life, but in my opinion i should've gone more but my parents didn't seem to think the same. Both of those times the doctors told me I was a little overweight. They didn't tell me i was obese or morbidly obese which thank god because I would've broken down and kms (not really but even thinking of getting told that makes me anxious).

They did tell me to start eating more food other than fried food and other type of stuff. After the meeting, my parents started scolding me for embarrassing them in front of the doctor, but all i did was being brutally honest with her! I told her how my parents keep buying flavored water which has at least 2 stamps in it (The government makes it so that companies have to put stamps on their products saying what's exactly in it), so the only source of natural water is the one we boil ourselves, which i drink every time i do exercise. And also how the dinner mom makes is sausages and french fries, it's quick and easy. This last week I've eating that dinner two times and on the weekend i ate fast food for lunch, on Saturday and Sunday which means TWICE. By the end I was so worried i might have to double my exercise next week (so now) to balance it off. I felt really fat on monday so uh not a good feeling.

For my part, I've had this discussion with my P.E teacher, and she agreed to make me play basketball more so i can both exercise at home and more at school other than P.E class. I've also done the effort of eating vegetables (which due to my autism it was very hard at first but I've gotten the hang of it!) And doing more exercise at school.

But even when mom agreed to start feeding me more healthy foods, it's like she gave up. She's gone back to giving me the same lazy foods that are filled with cholesterol and grease, and every time i eat those it makes me feel worried. Tonight was one of those dinners and all i want is to get it out of my system (literally).

I told mom she can't keep feeding me like this if she wants me to lose weight, and she responds by saying "but what can we feed you? You don't eat anything else" which? Fucking excuse me? WHAT DO YOU THINK I'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST MONTHS??? She always says that, it's like whenever i eat entire salads she fucking ignores me or something! It makes me feel so angry, fuck my efforts i guess???

I got more angry, but she's my mom, so i decided to shut up. Since i was getting ready to bed once i got comfortable she told me "I love you", which is a normal habit we have every time i go to bed. She says "i love you" i say it back. But this time I didn't, and she just sighed and closed the door.

Right now i'm really mad at her, but i recognize that maybe not saying "I love you" back was a bit too much, but if i have to stop saying it at all for her to understand I want to lose weight, then so be it. If she doesn't want to recognize im the only one doing the effort, whatever. I'm thinking of starting to refuse her food to make myself clear.

Aventurine is someone who doesn't let his true self show. Whatever facade he is putting on at the moment, is the one that benefits him the most. In fact, I would go as far to say he has a fear of being genuine, which I will elaborate on at a later time.

Physically, this is shown through how he dresses. He dresses extremely flamboyantly, drawing attention away from things he doesn't wish for people to see. He wears coats that made him look bigger than he is, wears heeled shoes to make him look taller, has chunky jewelry to wow people with his wealth, and always has something in his hand to play with.

People cannot see your hands trembling if they are drawn in by a coin being meticulously rolled and spun after all.

Aventurine in truth, is a very small man. He's 5'6" in my interpretation and leans on malnourished. He never had a chance to properly grow due to his past, and continues to have weight issues due to the rather stressful life he lives. This, combined with his rather atrocious eating habits and other various vices, leads to him being underweight at best.

Still, no one would be able to tell this from the confidence he exudes and intimidating way his eyes meet yours. There are many other things you will notice first before you notice his stature, and that's how he wants it to be.

Intimidation comes in many forms, after all.
