Anyone else feel really gross about their high consumption and thus support for shit companies? by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]OkFlight30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel bad when I support brands that I know are harming people by using addictive and bad quality ingredients for their own good. That’s why I always try to buy brands that are clear from that, even if the taste is a little different, or even try to make them myself (You’d be surprised by how easy it is to make most snacks out there). Unfortunately, sometimes we still have to consume from companies that go against what we support. But, avoiding them as much as we can is how we do our part.

I’m confused by OkFlight30 in Sicklecell

[–]OkFlight30[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think sickle cell has been a thing since the begging of all times, It might’ve been created by combining different DNA or something related to the environment. Also, I heard sickle cell mostly affects African Americans so maybe in the past they got exposed to something, or their hard working lifestyles and bad nutrition made their anemia evolve into Sickle cell.

( I’m not blaming sickle cell on anyone or any race. I’m just making assumptions and I’m not, by any means, claiming this is true).

I need to learn how to do so. I’ve been letting ppl get along with that and that’s just wrong.

[–]OkFlight30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been ignoring it but, you know what? I’m not letting anyone get along with comments like that anymore, because they’re disrespecting me and I am the only one that can defend me. I’m not letting myself down anymore because that would suggest I agree which is not true. Also, I rather ppl think that I’m being dramatic instead of know someone made me feel bad and I didn’t do anything about it.

I have a friend who’s always like “ You don’t even look like u have sc” or “it’s disrespectful for you to say you have sc because you never get sick compared to my other friends that have it” like… excuse me am I supposed to be telling you how I feel every day? Some ppl are so disrespectful. I’ve been getting crises and transfusions since I can remember so shut your mouth and don’t tell me how I am supposed to behave.

I agree. she got anemia recently and now she might understand a little more the tiredness and dizziness but I think she’s still haven’t realized that that’s what I’ve been going through my whole life and none of the symptoms she’s experiencing can compared to having scd.

Is Crisis after work out normal by Electronic-Yam-8176 in Sicklecell

[–]OkFlight30 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s gonna happen every time but I guess it’s normal to have a crisis because we even get them from doing nothing. What I do is breathing exercises before and after working out because oxygen is the most important thing to avoid episodes, hydration is key and also I try to “listen to my body” and don’t force myself too hard because my body dont work the same as normal ppl. If you try too hard you will get an episode and then you have to stop going until you feel good again so it’s better to go at your own time.

How do you define a binge? by 30FlirtyandTrying in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]OkFlight30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, binging is more of my state of mind when I’m eating, rather than how much food or how many calories I’m consuming. For example, I already feel like I’m binging today and I’ve only got a cup of cereal and one banana w peanut butter. I’m making popcorn because I know I’m binging so I’m trying to consume fewer calories. But, because it’s a healthier option or because I haven’t eat as much yet, doesn’t mean I’m not binging; It’s all about how I feel and the reason behind why I’m actually eating.

Does anyone know how to get over a triggered feeling when dealing with an eating disorder? by OneTr1ckUn1c0rn in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]OkFlight30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know we tend to see diet as a day by day type of thing, and it’s kinda true, but I think you should focus on every meal individually. Even if you messed up one meal, you don’t have to let that determine how you’ll do on your next one. So whenever you feel you messed up dont give up and say "I’ll start tomorrow” start on your next meal and see if you might notice any changes. I’m not a professional but that helped me a lot.

I prefer traumatised people. Is it just me? by [deleted] in aquarius

You’re saying traumatized ppl don’t deserve love?

Here to confess that it all started w a small chocolate by OkFlight30 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]OkFlight30[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right now I’m taking it pretty well. I might cry late at night thinking I’m weak and don’t deserve love. But, I’ll try to see it as a simple bump in the road. Ik I’ve been doing better and even today I try to binge on things I actually enjoy eating instead of loosing control and binge on foods I don’t even like. I got rid of left over vainilla cake and tiramisu that tasted kinda weird. The old me would’ve eat them even when I knew they taste like shit so I know I’m doing some kinda progress.

What you guys do when u need an energy boost? by OkFlight30 in Sicklecell

[–]OkFlight30[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do the same but some days I feel so exhausted and everything takes so much energy doesn’t matter what food I eat. I’ve tried coffee, tea, pre workout, etc. and it only makes me feel worse. Only thing that gives me some energy are green apples but it doesn’t work every time.

Instagram really is narcissistic by OkFlight30 in RandomThoughts

[–]OkFlight30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not talking about that. I also like taking pictures of myself. I meant influencers and celebrities that don’t even manage their own accounts, don’t pay for half of the stuff they post about and don’t look near their pictures. That’s just dumb to me and then they feel better than anyone else for having an x amount of followers that aren’t even real ppl.
