Simple changes to make to Lose Weight

tips from a pr0an4 rexie (TW)

1. Make lunch 60 calories

Replace bread with 3 ryvita crackers, with salt. Eat this every day for lunch.

2. Do 8500 steps every day

Exercise is important. Don't just do it to compensate, do it to exist, and to continue being perfect.

3. Say no

The more you say no, the easier it will become. Eventually, people will stop offering,and it will be so easy.

4. Fruits and Veggies

If you want to eat anything outside of meals, ut can only be fruits or vegetables. These calories are important baby <3

5. PROTEIN

Try to eat meat once a day. You don't want to get an edema. Then someone would notice, and stop you

6. Don't sit down

Sit down only for meal times, and certain times of the day: eg between 06:00 and 08:00. It is important to keep mobile for at least part of the day

These aren't all of my tips, but I hope these were helpful - reblog if you agree; feel free to add

Hi.

My name is Hannah and I am 27 years old.

I have lived with Complex PTSD and Anorexia since I was 6 years old.

Over the years I have also been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, panic disorder, Functional Neurological Disorder, Fibromyalgia, a large bowel that no longer works and Costochondritis. I have had 46 hospital admissions both medical and mental health over the past 8 years to date (date of posting is April 2024)

I require weekly psychology, dietitian,, GP and physiotherapy appts as well as weekly medication costs, and other specialist appointments frequently.

I have been on the disability pension since 2019 but that doesn’t even begin to cover half of what I require and I have thousands of bills outstanding and money required to access the supports that I need to not be in hospital every few weeks.

I so appreciate the current cost of living but would be so grateful any donation large and small so that I can begin to truly live. Believe me when I say I have exhausted every option possible to try and get on track and moving forward.

Thank you for reading x

A month ago today, with the last bit of willpower I thought I had, and a desperate wish for something better, I walked into the emergency room and was admitted into inpatient psychiatric care. These were the only two things I could bring myself to draw in my time there. Since then I’ve started medication and have been in intensive outpatient therapy, completely focused on peeling back every layer of pain I’ve dealt, from myself and my past and learning how to give myself some grace and patience. Overall just wanting to participate, understand my faults, be better for others and give myself a chance. What seems like for the first time, I feel truly awake. After leaving inpatient I bought a journal to work on my progress and in my typical fashion, couldn’t resist drawing in it. The next illustrations I’ll be sharing in the coming weeks will be from my time in therapy the past month and onward, indefinitely.

TMI

Somehow the staff lost my contraceptive for ３days. I started it about a month ago because my period came back and freaked me out and I couldn’t cope with the sensory ick, the pain and the gender dysphoria (I’m not even near a healthy weight so why is it suddenly here??).

Anyway, because of this I’m now on my period again! I’m in agony. I can’t stand it. Paracetamol is not helping. Should I have asked for the codeine they prescribed for my sciatica?

eating disorder treatment [group on the medical complications of EDs]: gastroparesis, IBS and related digestive health issues are common

also eating disorder treatment: eat this objectively large amount of food in 45min. *punished for eating too slowly* *punished for incompletion* *punished for bathroom usage immediately after eating*

On Rehab

I've seen a lot of posts that suggest folks may not know much about rehab, so I'm jumping in with my experience.

Disclaimer: This is from a US-perspective, and from a person who has helped loved ones research/enter rehab but who has not gone myself. I did a little research and it seems like the options are similar in Thailand.

There are multiple forms of rehab:

Rehab can be inpatient (aka residential treatment) where you live at the rehab center. Rehab can also be outpatient where you live at your home and visit the rehab center regularly for individual and group therapy. A lot of people do a short stint (from a few days to weeks) inpatient before switching to outpatient. I'm calling this mixed rehab.

Inpatient programs are considered the gold star for treatment. They have the lowest relapse rates after release, so they are an excellent option if you can afford them. They are especially recommended for people who need a medically-supervised detox and/or more intensive oversight/care and an externally-imposed schedule and rules.

We know Ray can afford it, but inpatient programs are generally extremely expensive so many people opt for outpatient/mixed care due to affordability. They are also great options for people who can't take time away from work or family.

The absolute best chances at recovery are if you participate in at least 90 days inpatient, followed by outpatient care and ongoing participation in support groups. The longer you stay in any form of treatment, the higher the recovery success rate.

All that's to say: We don't yet know what type of program Ray will choose and if he will be away from home for any period of time. Based on what we saw in episode 10, I think he visited a hospital-based program, which is more likely to be mixed or outpatient. Plus, we see him out and about quite a bit in the episode 11 preview, so it's unlikely that he's (at least initially) choosing an inpatient program.

No one asked, but FYI, Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous and other 12-step programs are not rehab because they do not offer comprehensive supports. They are support groups. Participation in AA/NA/other support groups during and/or after rehab decreases likelihood of relapse, but they're not the same as rehab.

#only friends the series #ray only friends #raysand #sandray #rehab #addiction #alcoholism #sand x ray #meta #if my research is correct #thai inpatient programs average ~10000 USD/month #in the US it costs anywhere from ~$5k-80k no joke #also most people relapse after recovery #(40-60% within the first month and 85% within the first year) #no matter the type of rehab program #so when we talk program costs #just assume you're paying for rehab more than once #and multiply per time

I have an appointment with one of the best psychiatrist in the country I live in and he'll assess my situation and try to get me hospitalised. I feel terribly as I believe I'm not sick enough to go inpatient and possibly make someone else loose their opportunity to recover. And also I'm concerned my mother is going to have to pay loads of money which we don't really have. I don't know what to do. Am I ready to recover? Or will I just waste people's time and money?

I’m self admitting to the psych on Tuesday. I’m not scared to go anymore, if anything I’m looking forward to it.

I’m very mentally unwell and I don’t want to hurt myself. I need new medication and a Therapist and a psychiatrist. Going is all around a good thing.. right?

I just feel so gross. I feel dirty and the small holes I dug into my wrist make me wanna throw up every time I see them. I keep crying for no reason and being ugly to the ones I hold dearest. I don’t feel like a person.

Never mind a good one. I am not a concept in my mind. Even if I was I believe down to my core I’m not worth anything. My worth is determined in how useful I am to other people. I am not the main character in my story. My feelings don’t matter. I am nothing but I wanna use my time for good. So I listen, I bandage wounds, I put up pills and blades that should of been put up years ago. I call for help but never for me.

I need to be taken care of for once

I miss when I loved myself. I miss when I didn’t loath the person I’ve become.

I’m ready to get proper help.

I want to be happy

Simple Changes to make to Lose Weight p2.

1. Set times for drinking

Especially for drinking any liquids with calories, like squash etc. Drink black coffee all day, but set limits on high calorie drinks. Eg: only between 17:00 and 18:00

2. Get enough sleep

If you don't sleep, plblood Cortisol eith be higher, and this causes the body to hold onto more fat.

3. Stay cold

If you are feeling cold, don't wrap up too much. The body burn more calories when cold (up to 30% more) so just stick it out. Its for the best.

4. Water load

Flush out all of the crap, and drink a ton of water. You excrete waste products like fat in the urine plus burn calories. Cold water is also best, as it requires energy to warm up your body.

5. Wear your "skinny" clothes as least once a week

This acts as a free th1nsp0, and will keep you motivated to stay fitting in them

Hope you enjoyed my tips - reblog if you agree, or can add any yourself <3

It’s a new day.

Have been awake since 1am with a couple of hrs sleep beforehand.

I will not give up fighting for my healing.

I have tried the public system. I have tried the private system. Every psychiatrist I have ever seen has said they don’t know how to help me.

I’ve had 3 day hospital admissions, 10 month hospital admissions, 43 hospital admissions so far in 8 years. 8 different therapies, more and more health issues but I will NOT give up.

Healing is out there and I will make it happen. Im not entirely sure how but I will continue to pursue recovery from all things (21 yr eating disorder; decades of cPTSD, FND, Fibromyalgia, seizures, a very damaged bowel and gastrointestinal system etc.

I have goals: complete my undergraduate Psychology degree with the Honours Year, complete my Masters in either Clinical Psychology or Developmental Psychology. I have goals to write, to speak, to impact, to inspire, to show that hope is real and freedom is possible.

I will not give up. I will keep fighting for my future so that I can be supported in all of my endeavours and also help to empower others to change their lives.

Also so open to avenues, people and suggestions for help that I haven’t yet tried.

I will not give up.
