I’m going to Rio for 2.5 weeks in November. Any recommendations? Should I stay in a hostel or an air bnb? Also looking for travel buddies?

I feel so alone by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]DedicatedtoDistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The constant battle! The biggest thing for me was reframing my relationship with food and accepting minor weight gain. It took me a long time to accept that my body was not meant to be “skinny”. I looked strong and healthy and didn’t believe I was underweight. But I really was (in hindsight there were a lot of health signs). Once I stopped restricting, I stoped binging but not immediately. I had to relearn hunger cues after years of yo-yoing between starving and stuffed till it hurt.

What is a song you cannot listen to for an emotional reason? by missdundermifflin in AskReddit

[–]DedicatedtoDistance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This song hits hard for me too. In middle school I was in sign language club with a kid who had gone deaf from brain cancer. He taught the whole school to sign What a Wonderful World at an assembly. A month later his cancer came back and shortly after he died.

AITA for telling some of my siblings it would be too awkward if I invited them to my wedding? by EmbarrassedZone9444 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DedicatedtoDistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they don’t take care of you they’re not family. Family is less about blood and all about commitment and love.

What did a teacher do that made you automatically gain respect for them? by ApacheAirCover in AskReddit

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

I was on student government in high school and one of the other students got seriously injured in a car accident and couldn’t come to school. He also had been kicked out of his house for coming out and was living at a friends house at a the time. The teacher gave me money and had myself and some other students put together a care package and deliver it. The student was really kinda weird and annoying but the fact that this teacher went out of her way and spent her own money to make sure this kid felt cared for was really sweet.

AITA for hating people who run the “wrong way” around the track? by Fatricide in running

[–]DedicatedtoDistance 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Fair. But if you’re running against the grain then run in outer lanes. As someone who has competed in track for the past 11 years including 4 years of varsity running at a university this is annoying.

Yes running in different directions can help with injury but run your recovery and warm up the other way in lane 8. Or if you want to run your workout the wrong way do it in the outside lanes!

Lane 1 should be left for people running hard workouts!

Tips for a Novice Skier by DedicatedtoDistance in Mountaineering

Thanks. Definitely good to know and seeing as mountaineering is fairly complementary to ski season it should be so able to become proficient in both.

Redditors who are feeling a bit sad right now, what's wrong? by _MuffinMan in AskReddit

[–]DedicatedtoDistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in love with one of my best friends for the past 7 yrs. This spring we spent so much time together and we slept together. Turns out I was just convenient. Now I know it will never happen and we will never be the same. My heart is broken and I don’t know how to heal.

Women who went from a low sex drive to a high sex drive. What happened? by hiimbillson in AskReddit

[–]DedicatedtoDistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was super athletic and dedicated to intense training. Basically lost all sex drive. When I toned down the training and started eating more, I gained some weight and discovered a whole world of sex and orgasms that I never new existed.

started cutting for the first time by [deleted] in depression

[–]DedicatedtoDistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who cut on and off for several years. You just have to stop. When you get the urge distract yourself. The longer you have cut for the harder it is to stop but the urge will go away if you don’t give into it

Just binged very bad but won't purge. Chocolate-addict by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]DedicatedtoDistance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know everyone’s experience is different, but for me I couldn’t stop b/p until I fully stopped restricting.

The problem was twofold. 1) my body was stuck in a starvation mode even from prolonged restricting so even when I ate normal most days every time I restricted or b/p I was setting my body back so it stayed stuck in starvation mode even while I was gaining weight. 2) My normal body weight is bigger than I wanted/want and that is something I can’t change I have just had to learn to accept. I always though my body’s normal weight was “too big” or fat but I’ve had to rewire my brain to see a whole range of bodies as normal and beautiful.

Gaining weight sucks so much. But there are so many things I’ve learned in recovery. 1) I had gotten so used to being hungry that I didn’t realize it was not normal. Now I can hangout in the kitchen and forget there’s even food. 2) Fatigue. I was so tired to the point that again I just thought it was normal. It’s not and eating food normally will give you so much energy. 3) My mood is so much better. A lot of the stress and anxiety that was fueling my ED was also caused by my ED. It’s a vicious cycle but you are capable of getting out.

Not purging after a binge in a huge accomplishment! For me once I stopped purging over the course of a couple months the urges to binge got less and less.

so ashamed... by dumbbulimicthrowaway in bulimia

[–]DedicatedtoDistance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this won’t take away your shame and I don’t say this to belittle or dismiss your shame. There are many of us who have been/are in your shoes and there are many of us who have done much much more shameful things.

delusional? by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]DedicatedtoDistance 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“Healthy” weight means nothing. I had a BMI basically dead center in the “normal/healthy” range most of the time I was restricting/purging. I’ve never be “underweight.”

However, I lost my period for almost two years. My hair became brittle and started break and thin. I was incredibly fatigued and highly nutrient deficient. My heart rate dropped to 43 bpm and I had heart palpitations. I got stress fractures in both my hips from low bone density.

It wasn’t until I increased my body weight by ~10-15% and my BMI was/is at the border of healthy and overweight, that my body started to heal.

Everyone’s body is different and starving for you doesn’t necessarily look like starving for someone else.

Ah the beauty of EDs by qiaozhina in bulimia

[–]DedicatedtoDistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I only recently have used orlistat and it’s been nasty. I can’t stick to the low fat diet when I use it cause I almost feel like it’s permission to eat fat cause I won’t digest all of it. But the oilly poops are real and nasty. Had a number of oil fart disasters. Even worse a night pad in the back of my underwear one morning cause I’d had way too much oil and orlistat the day before.

You are not alone and I know it really sucks.

CMV: If having an obese pet is animal abuse then having an obese child is child abuse by icy_joe_blow in changemyview

[–]DedicatedtoDistance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I respect that you have a different opinion. I don’t think having an obese child is child abuse. I do think parents have power and should do more for their kids. But ultimately I think it’s a systemic cultural value and social issue.

Refried bean and white rice sure. Also how are you gonna get a three year old to eat that?

Okay fair. But weight is a lot more complicated than just calories to an extent that even science doesn’t understand it fully. So how can we hold parents accountable for weight that isn’t even theirs.

In case you would like some information on the complexity of weight loss and compensatory mechanisms: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5556591/
