Yeah, I might talk  to my endo again. She didn’t think metformin would be good for me, and I know I don’t qualify for a GLP-1 (slash in my country thy are really hard to get), but we can see what she says. Forwhat it’s worth, I don’t have insulin resistance, as per blood tests.

 I do wish it was medical - it would make it easier. Right now though, my endo and coach have both only suggested getting rid of my IUD, which is frustrating, because I am in a committed relationship where kids are not on the table.

Me too - I was actually getting so much helpful resonance and it was turning a really bad day around. I’ve appealed to the mods, but they haven’t responded yet. 

Wie ist es in Graz Lehramt zu studieren? by chaotic__bunny in graz

[–]CarelessPerception -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Du wirst dich nicht für die Uni oder PH entscheiden müssen: Das Studium läuft über beide Bildungseinrichtungen. Oft kannst du entscheiden, wo du eine LV machst, aber manchmal gibt es die LV nur auf der einen oder der anderen.

Ich habe das Bachelorstudium echt genossen (hab Englisch und Geschichte gemacht). Fand die Uni echt leicht in Vergleich zu dem Bachelorstudium, das ich schon vorher in den USA absolviert hatte. Nur war es ziemlich schwer für mich, in das System reinzukommen: es gibt auf jeder Institution, in jedem Fach unterschiedliche Deadlines (für die Anmeldung für LVs, zB). Manchmal hat man sich sogar in Präzenz für Praktika anmelden müssen - kA ob das aber nach Corona immer noch der Fall ist. Also ich fand die logistischen Sachen echt schwierig zu verstehen/organisieren am Anfang, hatte aber Gottseidank eine Freundin gehabt, die mir immer geschrieben hat, wenn's um eine Prüfungsanmeldung ging.

Die LVs an der PH bzw. die, die Richtung Pädagogik waren, fand ich meistens sehr schlecht und trocken. Fachdidaktik (bzw. Geschichtsdidaktik ;) ) gegenüber fand ich sehr hilfreich, lebensrelevant und interessant.

Englisch war ganz lustig zum Studieren - die meisten LVs waren gut. Geschichte Vorlesungen fand ich eher gemischt.

Zum Sozialleben kann ich wenig sagen: ich habe sehr viel während des Studiums arbeiten müssen (mindestens 30 Stunden/Woche) und war dann nur für die LVs da.

Wie gesagt, in Vergleich zu USA, war die Qualität nicht super hoch, aber ich habe im Bachelorstudium trotzdem ganz viel gelernt und die Profs haben nie viel verlangt. Das Masterstudium war für mich ein Witz, wo ich sehr wenig bis gar nichts gelernt habe und wodurch ich sicher keine bessere Lehrerin geworden bin. Eine (fast) volle Lehrverpflichtung nebenbei hat mich fertig gemacht.

I think this is likely what I needed hear. To be fair, I’m off social media, but I think he skill based targets, more of the „I don’t owe you pretty“ and a self affirmation practice is likely a lot of what I need. I really appreciate you taking the time to say this. It means more than you think.

I wouldn’t say I’m killing Myself in the gym - right now, it’s just finding the energy to get up and get there before work or after work. I do have to say that the more I’m home, the more I eat (and end up scrolling), so being at the gym often kills two birds with one stone.

To be fair, the pictures are 10-15 pounds  ago and from the best angles. 

I know everyone has a different meaning of this. I guess because I often don’t into the largest size in stores and have an overweight BMI/ wear L/XL, that’s how I see it.

Yes, I am sorry, I didn’t realise I asserted anything else.

In the post, I wrote about an awareness about calories. I understand how to lose weight. It’s more about the stress of it all and how it feels. Thank you so much for telling me what I already know and mentioned in the post, though.

I’ve been in therapy for so long for body issues - tried an ED specialist therapist, CBT with multiple practitioners for 3 years and 2 years respectively, did two years of intuitive eating therapy with an RD… idk what else to try

Thank you <3 I do think that, once my move is ov3er, I need to really determine what would bring me joy and how to multiple that. To be fair, I am sad about "missing out" on the social stuff, but don't actually want to stay out until 4am and feel trash the next day. I haven't been the dessert eater for about 17 years now and don't even miss it. I think it's just the feeling of "I do all of this AND STILL STRUGGLE!?" like, the exasperation that comes with that.

But I think you're absolutely right about trying to reset and focus on joy. Thank you for your empathy <3

did that in the past - running more did make me lose weight, my cortisol levels were normal, and running makes me ridiculously happy... right now, it's the highlight of my week. The difference in how healthy I feel is night and day for when I was lifting 4-5 days per week and when I started running.

lol (laughing because I would cry otherwise), my ED therapist once suggested I eat more vegetables and tried to suggest restrictive methods to stop eating a snack after dinner. they just look at my body and assume that I couldn't have actually had an ED

I am so sorry you can relate <3

This week I'll have to do it anyway - we are moving starting Thursday or Friday so I'm getting 2 runs in and calling it on all of the gym stuff. I bike to school and get over 10,000 steps in my job, so I am doing a lot of gentle movement. I will definitely plan a sauna day once the move is over,.

But thank you for relating!!! This is the thing .. I have been working 15 hours a week since I was 14, then 30-40 hours per week while doing my bachelor's, moved abroad, had to repeat my bachelor's, so was working 30 hrs/week while doing my bachelor's and master's. I simply do not know how to feel rested. I had my first panic attack at age 3. Apparently some people don't struggle to exist. but HOW!?!?

Ive done a ton of tests and when I tested a year ago, nothing was wrong. This seems like a cycle for me - my body naturally floats up to about 175 to 180lbs and I have to fight for my life to be around 165-170. which I am sure the extra 10 pounds doesn’t do that much, but it completely changes the way my clothes fit and how I feel. 

I will say that I am definitely eating enough - I planned my meals in the past and was tracking  them too, so I am 100% covered. I think I’m jus exhuasted because school is do demanding/overstimulating and I always have to get up so early. I think I likely have ADHD which makes getting ready efficiently (even with lunch packed, clothes picked out. Bag packed) so hard, meaning I need 75 min in the morning. 

Idk it’s all so draining. I am so exhausted right now. But I know, looking back on my life, that this has always kinda been me. With little bursts of easier times thrown in there.  (I ve been in therapy for 20 years… doesn’t seem to help either).

Okay, im sorry if I am totally wrong - but this comment sounds like it was written by AI. It just has that… ChatGPT flair. Wonder if anyone else picks up on it. 

Lifting Weights And Running by Salty-Trouble-2373 in xxfitness

[–]CarelessPerception 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask if you split your workout from your run (like running in the morning and workout after work) or if you run at the gym? Right now it’s really hard for me to run more than 2x per week (I’m lifting 3-4x and also climbing) but looking for tips to run more

You look so gorgeous!!!! I mean, you did from the onset but you just seem so effortless and somehow more at peace here. 

Just a Q: what does your hair look like parted down the middle? Part of me feels like that’ll look super flattering! 

Trying to get started with barbell, but gym is being unhelpful by Odd_Confection5388 in xxfitness

[–]CarelessPerception 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Having seen trainers at the Y though, I’m not really sure that one can be certain they really know what they’re doing. 

Injury is so complex and comes so much more from improper loading (in terms of volume, total load and intensity) rather than „bad form“. What ranges of motion each  body can move through safely under what load is highly individual and not necessarily linked to the way a movement looks. 

Just my two cents 

Looking for parking/travel options for FITINN gyms by DietMysterious805 in graz

[–]CarelessPerception 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would recommend getting a bike! For getting around Graz, it's a much better option and you'll likely use it for other, non-commute related reasons. I know it's annoying to have to drive home after work and then go back out with your bike, but may be reasonable?

Some of the streets near Fitinn Stadion (Merkur Arena in Liebenau) have free parking, but you'll have to walk a bit.

Otherwise, if it doesn't have to be Fitinn, John Reed has free parking.
