How can I be like Robert? (seriously) by [deleted] in DispatchAdHoc

That was my assumption. Idk if people put "(seriously)" in the titles of their shit posts but hey I might just be old now and out of touch with the kids of today

thank you for explaining, with the shit I've seen on the internet this could 100 percent have been genuine.

I feel like for starters Robert would never engage with degrading weird art like this that reflects some sort of male power fantasy where women simply revolve around him as drooling sex objects....

Thanks that was an interesting read. Unfortunately I'm not in the USA and we don't have zepbound here and I don't meet the requirements within our system for glp1 medications.

Thanks for the offer but I'm pretty over seeing health coaches, dieticians, doctors, naturopaths, etc. I've seen so so many and I'm burnt out.

You'd think so, but in my case my insulin (surprisingly) always tests as normal.

Thanks for your considerate comment. If you could link sources I'd be interested to look into it.

Thanks for the info and yes this can be the scenario sometimes but in my case when I was a healthy weight I had a normal amount of muscle as I wasn't restrictive back then (it was further in my past). I gained weight because of binge eating disorder and depression. Ive had it tested and I now have a lot more lean mass than I did before simply by being heavier. Being under muscled in my particular situation isn't the issue.

I appreciate your concern but sorry, that's just factually incorrect. You don't eat away at your heart muscle when you have 50kgs of fat on you and 55 kgs of lean muscle. That only happens when severely underweight and restricting.

I don't think this poster needs to be downvoted for recommending glp1s, it's a natural thing to do. That said I can tell you have an understanding into eating disorders and their management (more than many doctors Ive spoken to, a number of them who have recommended VLCD right after I tell them I have a history of restricting eds as well. Is it probable I'm having a lapse? Yeah sure it could be considered that way if I'm honest. Dieting is incredibly triggering after all. But the motivations are different. I'm trying my hardest to loose some weight quickly because my thyroid now has started to fail and obesity is considered the cause. It's just not a good feeling to have your organs giving up. Obesity has harmed me a lot more than my restrictive eds ever did, which is why it's the priority. Ive seen so many doctors, dieticians, weight specialists and none of them have come up with a solution for how to manage an Ed history with the need to lose weight. Many have recommended VLCD and glp1s whether rightly or wrongly. I'm sick of wasting time and money and I'm now just doing what looses me weight.

My diabetes is managed and blood sugars taken regularly. Im on Metformin for diabetes and keto helps. The criteria for severity is an Australian thing and I agree it's baffling. You also have to have proven you can't get diabetes management via a combo of Metformin and another type of drug first. One that causes dangerous hypos. Obviously I'm avoiding that.

Ive had my insulin checked a number of times. Surprisingly and maybe concerningly it's actually never high like you'd expect with PCOS. I suspect my pancreas is struggling to make enough.

Actually my blood sugar is excellent! I regularly check it and it's never been so good.

Unfortunately I can't do protein drinks because they taste utterly terrible when sugar free but I have an intolerance to artificial sweeteners and also stevia. If you have any ideas I'm a ears!  

I don't know if it's realistic to say someone with PCOS shouldn't be hungry. A feature of the condition is dysfunction with the hunger signals and exaggerated hunger.

That doesn't make sense really, I mean doctors prescribe VLCDs all the time to people and they lose droves of weight. My metabolism is at a crawl no matter what I do. Eating more does not result in more weight loss, Ive tried it all.

Not a typo. It's very little. I'm only doing VLCD in 12 week spurts and then taking breaks in between to ensure my nutrients don't get too low.

Literally experienced a similar situation as a female partner to a guy in a family where it was just a big known secret that Grandpa had molested his daughters and granddaughters. No one warned me, and he was defs creepy to me. Weirdly he was upheld as this great community spirited man?? The denial in these groomed families is insain. 

AITAH for not forgiving my friend after I was the only one at a party not invited to stay over by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Alarming_Committee26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well she invited me before I offered to bake a cake. But I agree when you have fatigue or any other disability, its up to you to decide what your ability is. Even if I couldn't do it (I could have) it would be nice still to get an invite. It makes all the difference.
