let the internal war begin; will i eat my evening snack or not because i just succumbed to bad b/p symptoms?

my bx is becoming more and more rigid and disordered by the day, despite (or because of?) weight restoration. i suppose the only good thing is that i don't have alcohol and my roommates are home; otherwise i'd probably self-medicate my post-symptom anxiety heavily.

i can't go back to treatment, but i'm starting to think i'll never really get better.

The Right Proteins for Diabetes Management

Protein is like a super nutrient, especially if you have diabetes. It can help keep your blood sugar steady, control your weight, and keep you healthy. In this blog post, we’ll talk about the best proteins for managing diabetes in simple terms. Lean Poultry Think chicken or turkey without the skin. They’re great sources of lean protein, which means they’re low in unhealthy fats. They also have…

Hi!

I'm a 32 year old woman who, as a result of poor health over the last couple of years, gained over 25 Kg and lost my fitness levels. I used to be able to run over 10Km and fight like a boxer but am now struggling to manage even basic things.

Fitness regimes and diet routines even by nutritionists have not helped ' they have just made temporary change.

Can you suggest a way I can retrain myself to go back to my old fitness levels ?

(FYI, I'm arthritic too)

Hi lady!

Listen, I'd love to give you all the fitness and nutrition tips. But I'm going to be real with you - you need to get your health under control first - mentally, physically, and spiritually. I'm not an MD, but sounds like if you have arthritis so young you may have some immuno stuff going on? Or other things - struggling with basic things concerns me, either physical or mental health or both. I think start with the basics and get your health right first by seeing a doctor or specialists. Address whatever you need to. Advocate for yourself. You are worth it. Then you start baby small steps: get enough sleep, try to eat balanced as much as you can, try to move as you can. Because once you address the underlying issues on why you've experienced poor health (because it sounds like gaining weight was a result of poor health, not that you gained weight and then had health issues), then we can chat all day about fitness strategies <3

#answered #anon #health #text post #P.S. You need a registered dietician for real advice. anyone can be a “nutritionist” you need an RD :)

i love being me. i have chosen a career path that requires me to have an M.S. to even take the licensing exam. but that’s not enough nooo. despite the fact that it is not required at all i am gunning for both a PhD and rabbinical school despite the fact that i do not need a doctoral degree to do the clinical work i am aiming for and i have no intention of actually working as a rabbi outside of taking a highly informal role within my community. unfortunately i am just… like this

#pfffft free time?? a savings account?? don’t be ridiculous #BUT ALSO #eating disorders are incredibly common in the jewish community #and i am inadvertently setting myself up to be both a rabbi and an registered dietician specializing in treating EDs in a clinical setting #which outside of my professional work #puts me in an incredibly well formulated position to be able to help my community in a way that is VERY important to me #so like #the time and money is worth it #not to mention i have an all consuming soul burning desire to do these things and i find joy meaning and purpose from all of this #even outside of the role it will allow me to play within my community

E.A.T/N.E.A.T

One of the most frequent questions I’ve been asked is how to lose weight. As I study to become a CPT, I am reminded that the scope of practice for a fitness professional is to refer the individual asking, to seek the assistance from a medical professional, such as their physician, a registered dietician, or a licensed nutritionist. While I must refrain from giving specific dietary suggestions,…

Registered Dietician April Dirteater Shares Tips On Finding Nutritious Food On The Go

Summertime means traveling for many folks and grabbing food on the go. A time when de-railing from healthy habits could be easy. Registered Dietician April Dirteater, the wife of Oklahoma’s own bull riding champion Ryan Dirteater, founded ADD Nutrition two years ago to help people ditch the diet and emphasize adding foods, rather than restricting. April joined the News On 6 team on Thursday to…

I went diabetic earlier this year, since then I've had far more serious health concerns to really focus on it. I've listened to my primary care and reduced my average a1c from 13 to 7. I've recently been looking into diets and what not that are the best. Currently, I'm trying to cut out all carbs, on my doctor's orders. What I'm seeing though is that a plant based diet is best. It looks like a ketogenic diet is what my doctor wants me to follow? I've watched videos on both diets and I don't know, I agree with you that keto is evil. What are your thoughts about this?

I am not a medical professional so i can't give you medical advice, but I'd say that you should ask your doctor for a referral to a dietician (an RD or an RDN, NOT a "nutritionist" - RD/RDN are protected terms that mean they have completed specific training and have specific board certification) and ask the dietician for advice on your specific dietary needs for your specific medical conditions.

What I can say is that trying to cut all carbs is pretty dangerous - not only is it a macronutrient that our body uses as the most available fuel for your body processes (we *can* get fuel from protein and fat, and ketones can *theoretically* replace sugars for energy but nobody is actually sure how long our bodies can do that and we know it's a LOT less efficient, it's supposed to be less efficient, and what that means is it makes a lot of people feel exhausted when they try it because they literally have less available energy) but also there are certain nutrients that are fortified in the US that are going to be hard to get if you're cutting carbs completely. The example that I always use is folate, because when I had to cut wheat out of my diet (i have grain allergies and celiac disease) I didn't know to supplement it and ended up with a form of anemia and stuff like "fainting" and "dizziness" and "low oxygen saturation."

Which is part of why massive diet changes should be undertaken with the assistance of a dietician! That's why I started studying nutrition! Because nobody supervised my medically necessary diet changes and it went very poorly!

Your GP very likely doesn't have a ton of training on nutrition, and is even less likely to have training on nutrition specific to your condition. If your GP is telling you to cut all carbs, they are telling you to do something dangerous and not nutritionally sound (even really restrictive keto diets call for 20g of carbs a day). Ask either them or your endocrinologist for a referral to a dietician (again, you are looking for a Registered Dietician or a Registered Dietician Nutritionist, RD or RDN, NOT just 'nutritionist') who is familiar with helping diabetics manage their nutrition.

Now, all of that said, in the choice between two fairly restrictive diets I will always say to try the one that requires less effort. It is much easier to eat a plant-based diet long term than a keto diet, and it is vanishingly unlikely that you are going to end up protein deficient (the primary concern for most people who are starting plant based diets, and it's just not all that likely - we need a lot less protein than a lot of people seem to think; though if you're going completely vegan you do need to be careful to supplement your B vitamins and to ensure that you're getting plenty of omega fats)

Because the thing is, for a diet to "work" you have to be on that diet forever. If you stop being on that diet, and stop adhering to its restrictions, whatever benefits exist for that diet go away. So the best diet for *anybody* is one that will provide them with the nutrients they need in a way that they can access regularly and affordably, that they enjoy eating and can comfortably maintain for long periods of time, and that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables because the only diet advice that is nearly universally applicable is that people should be eating more fruits and vegetables and they should be eating a wider variety of them.

I am not a fan of "diets" as a concept and I think that people should think of nutrition in terms of "my diet" not "the diet that is meant to be one-size-fits-all for millions of people that I am attempting." Your diet is what you eat and drink, and that is what you should be looking at adjusting. If you want to reduce carbs in your diet it's better to tweak your consumption than it is totally replace your diet with a one size fits all keto diet. If you want to increase fat in your diet it is better to tweak your consumption than it is to replace your diet with a one size fits all atkins diet. If you want to go plant based I think it is better to start by adjusting your diet to include more plants and to slowly replace animal based products than by trying a one size fits all vegan diet right out of the gate. You can always (and should!) make adjustments to what you eat as circumstances change and you may end up at a vegan diet or a low carb high fat diet and find that that works for you, but part of the reason that I think nutrition studies on diets are so screwy and hard to pin down is because your body is going to *flip the fuck out* when you change from, say, an average american diet to a study-provided Mediterranean diet for a 12 week experiment. If you drastically change your diet all at once and get good results immediately it's very hard to say if those results will be lasting because your body may just adjust to the "new normal" of your diet six months down the line.

But like seriously if your GP is telling you to cut all carbs you need to see a person who specializes in nutrition, and to prepare for your appointment with that person you should make a list of your goals (for you it sounds like you want to manage your blood sugar levels, reduce a1c, and *ask about* low carbs if that is something that interests you), a list of things you think that you'll have trouble with or that you want to include in your diet because they're important to you (if you really like nuts but have to be on a low fat diet, ask if there's a way to work around that with your needs, for example; if there is a cultural staple that you will find difficult to cut from family meals, TELL THEM THAT), a list of questions that you have about different types of diets, and *VERY IMPORTANTLY* information about your food budget and cooking skills. Be clear about it if you can't cook. Be clear about it if you can't afford certain ingredients.

Anyway. Once again, not medical advice, please speak to a medical professional, good luck.

I fucking hate the times we live in, the economy, capitalism and anything and everything else that's at fault for making the job search fucking impossible.

I am in my early 20s. I have multiple years of retail work experience. I have a high school diploma, but I am from a poor family and could not afford college, so I have no college degree or any licenses or certifications, etc.

The ONLY (and I mean ONLY) job listings in my area are for:

-Licensed medical professionals (medical doctor, registered dietician (?) RN)

-Licensed teachers

And honorable mention:

-Border patrol agent (????) (I don't live near the border + wasn't searching near the border)

Update To My Posts/Blog & Daily Check Ins 🎀

So, when I first started this blog about two months ago, I had planned on using it as a way to stay accountable towards things like weight loss and my health journey. That was in the summer, when I had the time to solely focus on that as my top priority. Now, with school having started, my weeks, even my days are so much busier now. I am currently working over 30+ hours a week at my job, taking on 17 credit hours at my university, joining a club on campus, and am now under the mentorship of two separate registered dietician’s all while self studying two languages, keeping up with a self care routine, socializing with friends, doing homework outside of class time, and beginning a workout routine again as I recover from a semi serious back injury.

All that being said, I would really like to incorporate a little bit from every aspect of my life into this tumblr blog. I am still keeping my pink, girly, kpop aesthetic, because I absolutely adore it, but I am going to add on some different topics of interest into my daily check ins. I will continue with the what I eat in a day, habits I accomplished, any workouts or movement I did, and a song of the day, but I will also add in productive/school goals I achieved (such as how long I studied, how much schoolwork I finished, language learning stuff, etc), and just overall stuff about my daily life as a semi high achieving university student!

I will be posting a check in for today later tonight! It will include what I ate, what I did personal wise, school/productive stuff I did, a song of the day, and just an overall update on what I did today! I just need to get my format of how I want to write out everything figured out.

Til next time lovelies! 🩷🤍

i tried to break up w/ my RD and she's not having it. i said something along the lines of 'i'm paying out of pocket and i know what i need to be doing at this point' and she was kinda like 'is there anything i should be doing differently?'

no, i just...don't think i need an RD? idk, feedback is appreciated

she does keep mentioning weight restoration though & idk how to tell her this is the highest weight i've ever been at and the goal weight i've previously been given by other RDs

Therapy Session March 4, 2024

I haven't written for a few months about my therapy for an eating disorder. Since this blog is a semi-diary for me, I want to record some of what's been happening.

——————————————————

I no longer chew and spit (CHSP), which is a pattern of disordered eating that occurs when someone chews food but spits it out instead of swallowing it. It's been at least 10 months since the last time.

I sometimes still feel the urge to do this, but since it was a form of disordered eating I didn't engage in as often, it has been easier to stop.

I've found that mental health challenges are like seeds in the ground. Sometimes they sprout and I have to fight them back, but they're always lurking, ready to spring up. Will I ever chew & spit again? Maybe. If I do, it doesn't undo all the time between then and the last time I engaged in that behavior. It's okay to not be perfect and have a step back, healing isn't a straight line.

—————————

I no longer engage in binge eating on a daily basis, and when I do, it feels different. Before it felt like I had no control, like I was watching what was happening, and often the next day I wouldn't have any memory of it. Now I'm aware. When I have a strong compulsion to engage in binge eating, I know it's easier to give in, but it feels like I make a choice.

I don't feel compelled to binge every single day. And when I am feeling the urge, I no longer eat the food in a mad rush as I did before. Sometimes I can even identify why it is I'm having this compulsion to want to do disordered eating.

For the times I am going to give in, I try to limit the amount by purchasing a smaller amount of food and eating in the car, once it's gone it is gone. Other times I will have healthier foods, which they aren't as satisfying or don't completely scratch the itch, but I feel better knowing it wasn't as bad for me. I recently have found if I can go to a public location I can wait until I feel more in control before I eat, it may take an hour or two of hanging out in the library or a large store.

—————————

I have figured out that I began disordered eating as a teenager at the time I stopped doing self-harm. The emotions and situations that made me self-harm were still present, so my body & mind found alternative ways to cope. As my therapist put it, a different way to self-harm.

Interestingly, since disordered eating is something I do in private, there was a 2-year break when I was a missionary because I did not have privacy. I didn't have a time where I could purchase food or eat food without my mission companion knowing.

—————————

My registered dietitian is helping me learn intuitive eating. As part of this I am to record how hungry I am before I eat. I have learned that I do not feel hunger. I always have a "0" on the scale. I have been eating strictly for emotional reasons or according to a set schedule (like when I am in the office I get a lunch break at a certain time). On Saturday when I don't have a set schedule, I may not eat until 3pm or even later, and it doesn't bother me because I am not hungry. I've learned this often is a result when someone suppresses their emotions.

In the past month, I have twice felt hunger. One Saturday morning I noted it at 7am, wrote it down and eventually it faded away. I felt hunger again at noon and at 3pm. My dietician said this is a good breakthrough but I need to eat when I feel hungry. By not honoring the hunger, it communicates to my mind it should continue to suppress that feeling.

In the past week, I was eating a salad for dinner and while eating I felt full, which was a surprise. I didn't recognize until that moment that just like how I didn't feel hunger, I was not experiencing satiety. Remembering to honor the signals from my body, I stopped eating and put aside the final 1/4 of the salad for later.

Feeling hunger or fulness seems like it should be natural, it's based on physical sensations, but I am having to retrain my body to let me consciously be aware of those sensations.

—————————

In 2017~18 I was in therapy and learned I'd been suppressing my emotions for about 2 decades. I had to learn to allow myself to feel. I felt like a toddler who was experiencing big emotions and not knowing how to deal with them, I cried a LOT during that time.

Because I know what the difference feels like, when it was suggested I may be suppressing my emotions again, this seemed correct. I have gone back to feeling no extreme emotions, or virtually any emotions. In some ways it is a more pleasant way to go through life. My therapist responded that "It is easier, until it isn't."

My therapist asked me what feeling I am most afraid of, the one feeling I most do not want to experience? I had to think about that. My answer is both fear and anger.

Then we talked about why those two emotions? Both come from my feelings as a closeted gay Mormon. Fear of what it would mean if others found out I'm gay. Would I lose my community, my family? What does this mean for my future if I am not going to have a wife and kids as that's the only path forward that had been presented to me? Fear that I am defective and broken.

Also anger, but not anger at church or society, instead it was anger turned inward on myself. Why do I feel this way? I'm a terrible person for having a crush on my classmate. I'm a sicko because of the erotic dream. Why do I have to be this way? Why can't I be better?!!

Even last year when I received the eating disorder diagnosis, I was angry at myself. In 2017~18 I had gone to therapy for being suicidal, I was also diagnosed with a social anxiety disorder, I learned I suppressed my feelings, that I have the symptoms of PTSD, and I had virtually no self-esteem. I have done a lot of work on those things. Now with the eating disorder, it was a reminder that I stayed with an organization that has caused me damage and I was angry at myself for that. The first time I was in therapy and getting diagnosed, fine, I didn't know better. But after knowing better, I still stayed.

These two emotions of fear and anger are related to the many messages I internalized from home, from church, and from society about people like me. Those messages only amplified the big worries and emotions which felt overwhelming, and suppressing them was a way to cope, as was self-harm, disordered eating, and so on.

The therapist asked me to speak words to my teenage self who is fearful of what it means to be gay and who has turned his anger inward against himself. I couldn't do it. Just the thought of it made me want to burst into tears because to say those things was taking me back to those feelings. Instead, I said that I have had many people in that situation contact me and I have a great deal of empathy for them and I share messages of affirmation, encouragement, love, and support with them. She said that's great, and I need to say those messages to myself.

I am waiting until I am home with time before I allow myself to experience all those big feelings. It will be a way to break the dam open on my emotions and I suspect it will be a lot of big feelings. Then as I experience these things, I need to speak a message to my teenage self who didn't know how to handle those feelings.

—————————

The eating disorders, and my other mental health issues, have largely been caused by growing up gay in a Mormon family and in a society that was anti-queer. I didn't start coming out to people until I was about 40 and then not to everyone until I was 46. Being in the closet means hiding who you are, carefully monitoring what you reveal about yourself. Suppressing who you are also involves suppressing your feelings as part of hiding who I am.

—————————

My therapist said eating often is an emotional experience, for instance we associate it with good times with friends, romance, and so on. It's not uncommon for emotions to influence when and what we eat.

I have 6 brothers and sisters, all of us were born within a 10-year period. My father often worked 2 jobs or had jobs where he'd travel a lot, possibly being gone during the week and back home on weekends. My mother was busy! She usually had 2 kids in diapers, had to keep the family organized and going, often she had big church callings like Relief Society president which took time. There was not much time for each child to feel they had the attention they craved.

Meals would be the one consistent time when mom would be with the children, a chance to share, to feel cared for. It's no wonder when I feel the need for love, when I feel no one cares about me, when I feel lonely, I turn to food because it came to represent love and caring.

—————————

Also, food became something I identified with scarcity, maybe there wouldn't be enough of it. If I have it, I should eat it...just in case.

I have a good job, I don't have to worry about not being able to have food. Yet when I'm buying a prepared meal or I am cooking, I will often get much more than needed just in case. When I binge, I eat until the food is gone, I don't have a natural stopping point, so my mind remembers I might eat a lot.

I am learning that food isn't scarce. I can always get or make more.

I meet with the nutrition coach tomorrow morning for the first time. She's not actually a dietician/nutritionist, she's a nurse practitioner with a decent background in nutrition and my therapist vouched for her, so that's good enough for me. Generally I would recommend that people see registered dieticians, bc anyone can call themselves a nutrition coach and lot of them are quacks. But I don't actually need an RD, I know a LOT about nutrition and don't need further education, nor do I want to be focused on my body composition or macros or whatever. I just need someone a) nice, b) supportive, c) vaguely medically knowledgeable and d) in basic alignment with my values to talk to as I try to do this. So hopefully that's what I will get. But despite having been assured by my therapist that she understands the framework I'm coming from and also doesn't support diet culture and things like that I can't help but think back to past negative experiences with dieticians and doctors and worry that this is going to be like that. I'm just really really nervous. I really hope it goes well.

kind of insane how you need to protect everyone's feelings so bad that you can't even say what foods are good vs bad... literal registered dieticians selling out on tik tok like "have no food rules! eat whatever you want!" that's insane to me
