Damn, I feel that. I always ate two times a day my whole life, no snacks no nothing, and I'm still fat. I had covid in december 21, after which I had a condition called parosmia (still have it to a certain degree, but not that severe) which made everything smell and taste shit, no matter what I ate it tasted like vomit. I could only eat white bread and gouda for about 9 months, which meant I ate once a time if ever, cause I couldn't stand eat that forever. I was hoping maybe I would lose some weight during that time, but the opposite happened I gained like 40 pounds, which hooray makes me close to 300. I guess it's kinda true, that if you stave your body it starts hoarding that shit. Really love that for us! Did you ever get your thyroid checked, tho? Sorry for the long ramble, honestly I just wanted you to not feel alone in this, but reading back it sounds like I'm making it about me. Ignore it, if it's not welcome! Either way, sorry you feel like that too :(
oh babe i heard stories of that after covid, and i can't even imagine!! and the way our body's react to these things too makes it all the more of a wtf moment. i really hope you're doing better - have the symptoms subsided?
but yes, i do think there's definite truth to not eating=body storage but i guess it doesn't erase the years of diet culture. and i think that's what's difficult.
i haven't had my thyroid checked or been checked for pcos (bc i wouldn't be surprised if i had it) since i only got health insurance this year with my job. other money related things have also taken priority tbh. neither of those are really life-threatening so it's been put on hold.
but you don't have to apologize!!! i appreciate the message very much, babe. i'm glad someone understands what i'm saying. 🥺
