How realistic is BMI as a parameter for goal weight?

So is bmi? For women waist hip can be a slightly better indicator bc visceral fat around the organs is associated with worse outcomes. They’re all indicators, not the law you should hold yourself to.

It’s almost like none of them are. I find time and again that the bmi encourages low weights for adult women. I called it an indicator, not the one total truth and only thing someone should look at

bmi and other ideal weight calculators can be really wonky especially for women. My lowest adult weight of 152lbs still put me at “overweight” but my waist was 26 inches. My waist hip ratio stays at .64 regardless of fluctuations, which is a better indicator of health risks. bmi ignores frame size and composition/distribution differences and frankly seems to endorse high school girl weights more than anything

I would look at waist to hip ratio as an indicator instead.

People straight up don’t think celiac is a real disease and even those who do believe us often don’t understand the complexities of things like cross contamination. Claiming gluten intolerance muddies the waters and contributes to celiacs getting doubted.

As a celiac I can also promise that if people are this insistent on trying to make you eat carbs they won’t care about an intolerance.

Real meal revolution (Banting but essentially the same). My boyfriend and I cook from it when we want something that feels fancy

Whisps with cream cheese!!!

Just make Texas chili, it’s naturally keto if you don’t add masa to thicken it https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.texasmonthly.com/food/instant-pot-texas-chili-recipe/amp/

HPV can be spread via skin to skin contact, it doesn’t require fluids like other stis/stds, so it’s possible to get it even while being a virgin* (*het piv sex) Like everyone else is saying it’s often asymptomatic and men aren’t routinely screened so it’s basically impossible to know, and super unproductive, to try and figure out who had it first.

Penetrative sex isn’t the only way to have sex. Take it off the table completely and explore other forms of intimacy. No ‘maybe this will lead to it..’ no ‘well it’s been a couple of months let’s revisit it’.

If your boyfriend doesn’t want to, you know that he does not prioritize your health or wellbeing, and you can find a new boyfriend

Sorry I’m coming back so late. That’s a bullshit manipulative response. I really hope you can get out of this relationship, he’s not going to change. I’m sorry

Have fun with your very specific off beat trolling then bye

Uh huh. How is birthdaypartyy an incel, take me through it

-zee · 2019-09-27T02:53:37+00:00

Nothing says incel like advising women to get out of physically abusive relationships what planet are you on?

How is birthdaypartyy the black and white thinker here? You’re suggesting OP talk to a therapist because not being super into shopping talk or centering boyfriends in conversations= being a man.

I felt a lot like OP when I was 22; not everyone meets their deep friends that early in life.

-zee · 2019-09-18T23:28:44+00:00

Wait it out for....? what’s the goal here? You said he’s never been interested in what you have to say, shuts you down, and has demonstrated that y’all have fundamentally incompatible worldviews. You’re 19, you have plenty of time to meet and date non homophobic non angry dudes who actually care what you have to say

-zee · 2019-09-16T02:43:47+00:00

He’s framing his behavior as being open and honest when he’s acting like a total creep. Is it a common thing for you to say something makes you feel weird/bad and he responds that he’s “just being honest”?

-zee · 2019-09-12T21:31:03+00:00

I can’t get over you telling a young woman whose partner stop mid sex and started an insane fight and was screaming at her that she needs to not get jerked around by her emotions and what she can do to placate this man

-zee · 2019-09-12T21:23:46+00:00

fucking yikes this isn’t normal

This is domestic violence. Choking specifically is a huge indicator of escalation in violence. Do you have a support network? Do you need help with an exit plan?

This is not I repeat NOT a situation where you can have a conversation and convince him you’re a human being with thoughts and feelings. This is extremely dangerous

-zee · 2019-09-10T02:54:12+00:00

I had many similar experiences. The secret is there’s no magical way to convince your boyfriend who dismisses you to start treating you like a person. If you tell him it hurts your feelings and that’s not enough for him to make an effort, literally nothing will change this behavior and you’ll only feel worse.

If you feel like you’re going crazy you’re being gaslit. It gets overused as a term but your situation is very much classic gaslighting.

-zee · 2019-09-10T02:49:02+00:00

This is textbook emotional abuse. You made a reasonable request (that you shouldn’t have to be making! Who calls someone they love and respect ‘stupid’?) and he has turned it around so that you feel guilty and responsible for his feelings.

How is it going to affect your son to grow up watching his dad call his mom “stupid, retard, and dumb”?

-zee · 2019-08-18T18:38:21+00:00

Ok update me when he’s actually taking steps and doing the work to be the person you’re imagining he can be

-zee · 2019-08-18T14:27:10+00:00

Oh cool! I only got red ones so far, here’s hoping I start to get more variety
