#your weight loss problem

[pawsitivevibe]

Ah yes my doctor's (wait no nurse practitioner because I can't even get a doctor apparently) response to my frequent headaches, extreme exhaustion, numbness in hands and feet, therapist's suggestion that I get tested for iron deficiency, concerns about long-term memory/focus/concentration issues and questions about ADHD assessment was ... "Lose some weight, maybe you'll feel better."

🥲

#She begrudgingly sent me for some bloodwork and gave me some forms to fill out about ADHD but she will not follow up on anything for a month #Cool #She also said there was a program at the clinic with a dietician but then proceeded to not give me the information or referral for it #So like if weight loss is apparently your biggest concern why won't you give me the info for this program??? #Personally I think overweight people can have other health issues that 'lose some weight' doesn't fix!! #And also that it's usually all tied together in that you can't lose weight unless you start treating certain things that are stopping you #I'm sorry I can't stay on top of rigorous exercise because of my unmanaged severe chronic pain?? That you only recently FINALLY did #anything about but now I still have to wait another 2 months to see the specialist. Even though I had been saying for YEARS that the pain #was a constant serious problem

I really needed to hear that abt the social media thingy. I've spent quite literally years trying to be popular and be like every other famous artist I see and it has never helped, only I started hating my art more.

big hugs anon. i was talking about this to my best friend last night because i think believing the grass is greener on the other side is such a deceptively destructive thing. the desire to have popularity is something i really struggled to fully shake off before i realised that even when i achieved 'popularity' (i.e., when i reached the numbers i thought would give me satisfaction) i didnt feel any better. i didnt feel like i accomplished anything. in fact i usually just felt Worse, because i was like, wow, for years ive dreamed about breaking 1k on a text post and now that i have i dont feel any better. what's the point?

it made me realise that, without fail, anytime we crave something, it's because we crave whatever feeling we think it'll give us. to me, popularity meant allowing myself to feel loveable and valuable and like i could enjoy posting with the confidence that my thoughts matter. it meant feeling good about myself and my creations and like im always so excited to create, rather than feeling obligated. it meant feeling free and loved!! and as i embodied that more it was so funny how the physical manifestations of those things started showing themselves. and it didnt even feel like a big deal because i already had the feelings i wanted

sorry for such a long response zhdkska i just have. so many feelings about this. being trapped in the thought process that getting a specific thing will make me happy has caused me so much pain in my life, always after the thing actually happens.

#weight loss mention for these tags: #this hit me particularly during the worst part of my ed #because the problem had never actually been when my weight was far away from my goal #it was when i got closer and closer to my goal but i was frustrated that i wasnt feeling the accomplishments i was working towards #when i realised that my goal was actually attainable it was like my brain was so used to the feeling of chasing Something Else constantly #that it sabotaged me so badly #that's when the sickness was at its Worst. not when i actually weighed more and was just enjoying making healthy meals and working out #it's the same thing with social media i think #it's really fun when you have 100 followers to create an intense posting schedule and churn stuff out everyday #bc ur like look! im working towards getting popular and therefore Happy! #but when you suddenly have your notifications filled and you're scrolling through what you've been wanting for years #and it makes you feel Nothing #that feels so inexplicably bad #i think setting goals is important. but i think knowing why is more important #ask #anon

god how the fuck do people go on diets, especially crash diets

i'm literally only forcing myself to be on a low-fat gluten-free diet out of medical necessity (the low-fat is temporary to prevent my gallbladder from sending me to the ER, the GF is permanent but due to a condition that makes me gluten intolerant) and it literally feels like a punishment, even though I know the worst of it is temporary and the rest is manageable otherwise with pleasant alternatives that might not be considered 'healthy' to people who do this shit on the regular to lose weight.

how fucked up on diet culture do you have to be to do this to yourself in an attempt to get a thinner body, especially when it doesn't even work 95% of the time? it's fucking miserable for me, how the fuck do they do it? i would ask how they do it without hating themselves but we already know the answer to that one. and like they can't even enjoy sugary or processed or 'unhealthy' food? how do you live like that?

#tw diet mention #tw weight loss mention #anti diet #anti diet culture #those tags may seem contradictory but remember i am only doing this out of medical necessity #and the medical necessity is not 'lose weight' it's 'keep your organs from fucking murdering you' #/nm that sounded way harsher than it needed to #byrd is fat #byrd chirps #body positivity #body positive #fat liberation #fat positivity #fat positive #fat acceptance #but yeah no i would literally rather have to deal with medical discrimination than eat like this for any significant amount of time #bc like. i already do anyways #it sucks shit but lbr here eating like this wouldn't solve the problem even if it did make me thin #it'd just make it not my problem at the cost of extensive misery if that #tw diet culture #diet culture

#shit chat #disordered eating cw #how to. politely ask my housemate to stop fucking telling me about her diet progress #she's trying to lose weight cause she's a musician & her band is traveling to this big thing at the end of the month #by doing really strict by-weight portion control and it does NOT seem healthy #she's trying to get back to her 'italy weight' and like. girl. u went to italy in high school 10 years ago & biked everywhere for a month #if you are at that same weight a decade later without exercise by simply making yourself eat less food there is a problem! #that is not aspirational that's horrifying!!! no u don't look hot in your gig outfit from 2013 you look disproportionately skinny! #so i gotta sit her down at some point and be like listen. ur an adult ur gonna do what you do #& i know ur industry puts insane pressure on women to look a certain way on stage. #but as someone with a history of disordered eating i will not cheer you on and support your 'progress' #and quite honestly it makes me uncomfortable to even talk about it and see your stupid little diet scale on the kitchen counter every day!! #i strongly associate weight loss with poor health for a number of reasons #and firmly believe that weight gain is cool and sexy and that everyone should be less afraid of being actually!!! #it was a struggle w/ dysmorphia for a while but putting on some chub is one of the best things i've been able to do for my body as an adult #i love my squishy tummy and hearing you obsess about having a perfectly flat (ie concave) abdomen daily is deeply saddening!!! #bleh. it's hard. i feel like i should gently intervene but also i do not want to get involved bc it's more than i can handle rn #*less afraid of being fat actually

thinking abt fatness and health a lot lately

#I’ve been having a lot of symptoms lately and it’s so hard to not just assume they must be bc I’m fat #and that weight loss is the answer to all my problems #I rly want to get more active #but I honestly like being fat #I think fat bodies are beautiful #and I like mine #but it’s frustrating bc all of my symtpms are things that people say are due to fatness #like shortness of breath #high BP #headaches #chronic fatigue #so it’s hard for the devils advocate voice in mt head not to be like #but what if your body is the cause of all your health problems #it’s hard #I don’t want to change the way my body looks #but I want these symptoms to go away #I wish I didn’t hold so much shame around fatness and the symptoms I have that are often associated with it #I feel so embarrased catching my breath in front of people #bleh

Could This Tibetan Monk Ritual Trigger Massive Weight Loss? (And Make You Look 20 Years Younger?)

Recent brain scans of a Tibetan monk who fasted for over 30 years have left nutritionists in shock, changing everything they knew about weight loss and aging. These scans revealed that there is a special substance in the human body which is activated when you do not eat for at least 24 hours… And once activated it can make you lose weight 7x faster than any diet and make your brain, liver, kidneys, skin and muscles younger by up to 20 years. Now, a group of Nobel Prize winning scientists have made an experiment in which they managed to activate this substance by tricking the brains of the subjects’ into thinking they were fasting while eating their favorite foods. Researchers were stunned to see how people in the study were losing pound after pound while eating pizza, pasta, burgers, steak and drank coke and beer. The best part is that anyone can now activate this special substance from the comfort of their home. Don’t believe it? See it for yourself here!

no because it’s been a day and i’m still not over it. how the fuck did i tell my parents “hey, i used to starve myself, and while i don’t do that anymore i have no appetite and am actively losing weight, please help” and have them respond with “WE SHOULD TRY EXERCISE AND EATING BETTER. CUT OUT JUNK FOOD!” like what the actual fuck is wrong with them actually CUTTING SHIT OUT WAS THE PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH YOU FUCKS

#anyways now they’ve moved on to thinking that i’m perfectly fine and that everyone who’s worried about me is worried for nothing #because god forbid their child be fucked up and broken #jesus #‘i think people just don’t understand that you’ve always been very small and your family small’ THE WEIGHT LOSS WOULDNT BE A PROBLEM EXCEPT #FOR THE FACT THAT IT’S VERY CLEARLY HAPPENED DUE TO A LITERAL FUCKING EATING DISORDER WHAT THE SHIT #ahem. anyways #tw ed #tw vent

was watching a lilypichu video where she and some others ate some mres and reviewed them

but the entire time i was getting more and more and more annoyed the more she went on about how shes dieting and watching her weight. she would take a crumb of food and be like "yeah it's good" and then get mad when the others were like "you didnt even taste it, you have to eat it" or would pile food on her spoon bc otherwise she would not do it.

and then it cuts to michael reeves or toast just shoving the food in their mouths without second thought. eating the entire food so it isnt wasted.

it was so incredibly sad and genuinely angering. the amount of girls who watch that channel who are now thinking "oh, if lily, a barely 100lbs soaking wet korean woman, needs to be on such a restrictive diet then i do too." it literally screamed eating disorder.

it just made me so furious that this is considered normal. that women will look at 270 calories and have a meltdown. as if it isnt literally just a measurement of energy given by the food. as if it isnt literally nutrition

#im not even against weight loss #im actually 100% for it and i think obesity and being overweight is a very serious problem that needs to be addressed. #but weight loss when it's so obviouslly unnecessary and is fuelled by an eating disorder? #especially being public about it when youre a VERY POPULAR STREAMER with lots of female followers? #nah. #thats where i draw the line #i draw the line at this stupid fucking calorie counting #calorie counting isnt diet behavior it's disordered eating. full stop. #diet behavior is eating fresh foods. eating whole meals. having a fucking vegetable every once in a while.

(please be advised that i am ranting about weird diet myths around sugar and fruit, and also addressing annoying and wrong comments i read recently with a hypothetical "you". I am not talking to you, the reader)

I decided to be mature today and look after my stress level and Not start what is sure to be internet beef by telling people in a comment section that sugar molecules are not magically different when they come out of an orange. I even get worse blood sugar spikes from grapes than from chocolate because that also has fat which slows down metabolisation so blood sugar rises more slowly. "But fruit also has vitamins and fibres wah wah wah" still doesn't mean fruit has chemically different sugar molecules than refined sugar (made from plants btw!!) and also not the fucking point. There is slightly different sugars which have different prevalence but funnily enough fruit has quite a lot of the sugar monomer that has a higher glycemic index, and at the end absolutely every carbohydrate except indigestible ones (mostly cellulose, which we know as fibre!) becomes glucose and gets turned into ATP which fuels your body. "But the fibre in fruit" thats why we eat meals with hopefully all types of nutrients in (including fibre) and then that fucking oreo also has some fibre to accompany it. Besides the fact that it already has less of a blood sugar spike than fruit because of the fat content. "But the vitamins!!!!!!!" I promise you will not die of scurvy if you don't eat 300% the recommended intake of vitamin c every day, you will be fine. Go worry about some vitamins that arent in fruit, or vitamin d. And read a fucking wikipedia article on different sugar molecules and where they are found while you're at it please i am begging. "The evil fructose in fructose syrup is different than good fructose in fruit" please employ one braincell and read that again omg.

(disclaimer fruit is not bad, i do like vitamins too, and if you don't have blood sugar issues the glycemic index of it (how much it spikes the blood sugar) is nothing you need to be concerned about. also reminder that vegetables also contain vitamins and fibre and shit, because sometimes this fact gets lost in the heated discussions around fruits)

#'people don't get fat from eating fruit' it sure seems to have made you fucking stupid and mean #also you cannot survive off of fruit but you sure can worsen your insulin resistance #people have different health needs and priorities for the nutrition #own post #tw diet culture #also the wild ass misinformation about what a molecule is in the wellfare and diet industry is worrying #i have read stuff from people trying to sell something that claimed that there are different types of sodium atoms #bitch it's an atom unless you mean isomers there is only one atom!! and isomers do not make a nutritional difference #they just sometimes give you radiation poisoning #they also claimed the whole sugars i fruits work ✨ differently✨ thing it was wild stuff #and final remark: being overweight in itself is not actually a problem #and weight loss the way the diet culture and medical field treats it is in a lot of ways bogus

I don't mind talking about being fat or talking about when I had lost a little bit of weight etc. I know well enough that it can be a problem, but I have much more important things to focus on than my bodyweight.

What I have a problem with, is if that is the ONLY topic ever.

I am seriously so done. I argued with my neighbor because I was looking through a catalogue and all I said was "Oh that skirt with the belt is really cute, look"

And she had to make it about weight. She said I couldn't wear that with the belt because it would be too form fitting for me. She ALWAYS says how I should only wear wide clothes and nothing too revealing and nothing form-fitting. Yeah, cuz I'm not thin. But guess what? I will wear whatever I feel comfortable in. I don't care if you don't like it.

I won't wear skin-tight things because I don't want to anyway, but I also don't always want to wear sacks either. I think she doesn't look good in what she wears either, but do I say it? Nah. Because what others wear or not isn't my business.

She started talking about "when you'll be on a diet" and I said "I won't be anyway. So why does it matter? I was on a diet and was unhappy and became depressed. How about you try to gain 10kg and I try to lose 10kg." (She told me she weighs only about 35,1 kg. That is 20kg underweight.)

But oh no, apparently saying that to her was rude.

But her constantly telling me indirectly that I'm fat and should lose weight isn't? Despite her knowing that I tried and that that only made me more depressed than I already am?

Fuck off.

#like no you did not directly tell me im fat #but would you say these things to a thin person? surely not #so either fix your fatphobia or deal with me telling you the same things #you dont like my thick arms? well i dont like that all i see is your bones and nothing else #eat some fucking food #oh you get sick when you eat too much??? i dont give a shit #told her i get a migraine and get sick and need to puke if i dont eat regularly #and if i need to eat at 3 am because im hungry and if i dont i will get sick #thats just how it is #i will have to talk to a professional about it and not to grandma else from next door #but guess what!!! that costs money!!! #so no thanks i have more important shit to deal with #weight loss is a problem of someone who has no other problems in their life :/

[viviisweird]

Slightl tw for venting and cursing

(It's ab weight)

Yk when you lose 8kg and nobody you hang around says anything?

Like, you starve yourself and they dgaf?

They know you skip almost every meal and don't know the last time they see me eating?

Like, you lose 8 fucking kilograms and they don't say dog shit?!

Like nothing changed

Like they don't care

Like I did all of that for nothing?

It's eight fucking kilos, the human eyes sees the fucking difference after 3 kg, they could have seen the difference almost 3 fucking times

And now I cannot eat normally?

Do I try to maintain my weight? Do I try to lose more?

I mean, I now have under-average weight and before I had a bit over-average and nobody says shit?

Well, my family does but that's cuz they no me like family, yk?

It's not the same

Plus, my fam doesn't know how much I don't eat

Like all of this shit is fucking too much
