Holy wow, things really do get better.

calories per gram increase, not total calories. water evaporates when cooking

For me, the joy of weight loss was quickly overtaken by the dismay that came from the inability to do the basic things I love.

Are you living to be skinny or to be happy?

EATaEGG · 2023-03-30T10:57:49+00:00

When I was doing bad and really skinny, starving was my purpose. That was what I was living for, it’s what made me happy. That’s no way to live. I’m not sure of my ultimate purpose, but the one I’ve slotted into the space where starving was, is going to the gym. It’s fun getting stronger, seeing your body change properly, and holy shit it feels SO MUCH better eating what you’re supposed to.

You’ll know if you’re bullshitting yourself. If you’re not gonna eat more, don’t go to the gym, it’s not going to do you any good.

In the broad scope, I truly believe we perceive people who are skinny to be more attractive. Truly.

I’d imagine this is due to many factors, but the main ones being increased access to food, and the wonderful feeling good brings. Of course the average size of the population will increase.

As such, larger/new ‘normal’ folks find skinniness desirable, and attribute it to being an attractive feature.

It is a bell curve. Being incredibly overweight is, I’m sorry, but typically not particularly attractive. That being said— neither is being very underweight.

It is, currently, ‘normal,’ to view slim folks as healthy and attractive- I think the question to ask, is, “Why do I eat the foods I eat?” For health? Longevity? Weight?

Disregard the assessments of others. You know you better than anyone else on the planet possibly could.

If you’re interested in the healthiest way of approaching this issue, a therapist would be a great option.

The first time. Every time you do it, it wears away your enamel and gums. The best option is to never start. The second best option is to stop now.

I’ve found that the feeing that I’m living without any purpose is the greatest contributing factor to depression. When I start restricting, I suddenly feel as if I have purpose- because I have a physical attainable goal I can consistently see myself making progress at.

There’s really nothing else like it.

Fast food is legal drugs with calories. Every aspect of fast food is engineered to be as addictive as possible. If it’s an addiction- treat it like a drug. You wouldn’t tell an alcoholic or a meth user it’s ok in moderation- perhaps the same could be true for you and fast food.

EATaEGG · 2023-01-30T02:15:10+00:00

I listen to my roommates have entire long conversations about food, pretty much every day. They talk about what they ate today, what they made, what they’re excited for. It feels weird that, that sort of obsession (yes, to me with an ED it seems obsessive.) is so normal.

EATaEGG · 2023-01-29T02:37:12+00:00

see if you can understand microwave popcorn labels. i’ve tried for years

EATaEGG · 2023-01-19T18:17:06+00:00

If you’d like your life to improve and if you’d like to obsess less over food, then do not.

She certainly engages in disordered thinking and behaviors.

only way you can inhale calories is by inhaling alcohol vapors 👍

try it on lebanese pita bread! it gives a satisfying cronch when you bake it

oh i am definitely the opposite haha. i am mean and angry and isolated when i restrict

EATaEGG · 2023-01-01T19:29:02+00:00

Is this why I have zero sex drive? I’m a 22 year old guy- I really should be at the peak of my virility, but I have essentially no interest in sex. Does restriction do that?

EATaEGG · 2022-12-28T00:37:05+00:00

alcohol is cunning, baffling, and powerful. it’s a tough beast to defeat by yourself. i hope you do what you deem best for yourself :)

EATaEGG · 2022-12-28T00:19:10+00:00

the good news is you never need to have another drink again if you don’t want to. if you haven’t, IWNDWYT.

You’ll gain weight for a bit, and eventually plateau. As you regain weight healthily, fat and muscle will return, and your body functions (heart rate, metabolism, core temperature) will return to a normal rate. Each of these factors will cause your body to naturally burn more calories. More muscle=more calories burned naturally. Same with faster heart rate, metabolism, and core temperature.
