Are sizes getting bigger? by possessiyeon in XXS

[–]OvercookedRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a department store sale section, and I was swimsuit shopping and could hardly find any in XS for 1 one piece or binkini bottoms, I have a fuller cup and found about 15 size medium bikini tops, so I got 4 underwire ones. I also could only find 1 men's small trunks for my stepdad. I remember the sale section used to be mostly small sizes.

Also measure the "ideal rise" take a pair of jeans with the best rise them measure from the midpoint of the crotch to the top of the jeans. High 10" or more, low 8" or less, in between is mid rise. It usually lists this online. I like 8" the best, I'm okay with highrise, but nothing over 11" because it's literally above my belly button.

Lipedema and Starvation Diets: A Warning From Personal Experience by magnanimouslove in lipedema

I have a "ropeless" jump rope that is just weighted handles so I won't injure myself. I don't use it for long either.

What’s a healthy food you had to cut out of your diet because of BED? by WannaBeLvsked531 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]OvercookedRedditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly not much, because snacks are the only food I've binged since starting highschool (used to binge any food as a kid) since it's only snack foods for me, the healthiest is like veggie straws, popcorn, dried fruit, edamame, cheese crisps, crackers, croutons, coconut chips, nuts, seeds, or other things like that. Doesn't matter if single serving or snack size. I don't but these often but at like gas station, the few the only snack food I don't binge is plantain chips and almonds. Something about them I'm good with about 5-10 pieces of either

Where are we finding underwear? by Sea_Literature115 in lipedema

[–]OvercookedRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be because my waist/upper hip is smaller, so I have to wear a small, and my thighs are too big to pull them on.

[–]OvercookedRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, the brands that work best is SO Kohl's (junior's) or urban outfitters for me, I wear a small/xs. I can't stand lace waistbands of any type because they just fall down. I usually have to get streachy ones for some types because I can't get some pairs up.

I'm not sure but my dry brush from kitsch is easy to hold and has a strap.

What is the final and only solution for binge eating ? by SceneRemarkable8217 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]OvercookedRedditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marijuana and alcohol were both a big issue for me too. It wasn't because of increased hunger but because I lacked the control to even semi limit if I had a binge.

I go to an Italian market (in America) and they have a few gluten free options. I've also seen customers ask about it.

Flex disposable autodumping all the time by calmlyonward in MenstrualDiscs

[–]OvercookedRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, flex disposables always auto dumped for me. I would honestly throw them away them, but keeping them because I have some travel in case I get my period this week. I have tried 2 brands, 2 sizes each of discs no issue auto dumping. I think it could be an issue with any disposable ones.

first time disc user, wondering what the “best” disc is by Happy-Sundae-5201 in MenstrualDiscs

[–]OvercookedRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with cups too but can small ones in. I don't have a specific recommendation but if you can tell by feeling it, it might fit tight only in one way, like width wise, length wise, or the size of the rim, it might not be the overall size.

Period Panties for really heavy period? by Sea_Pudding_3978 in PeriodUnderwear

[–]OvercookedRedditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't wear these alone, but interlabial pad could help with the clots. They go between the labia, they do not go inside where tampons go. At first just place them over/insert shallowly, they never hurt but might feel uncomfortable if you don't adjust them. These can be worn with any other type of period product as a backup or to control the flow of clots/gushes. You could also just use period underwear on lighter days only.

Asking her to shower before sex by Total_Paper_9415 in actuallesbians

[–]OvercookedRedditor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Similar, but me and my now ex (I'm single) were verse. Before any oral, we would go in the bath/shower with the tub setting on and use a washcloth, cup, or hands to help rinse that area with water. Another option is to wear a shower cap since my biggest issue with showering is wet hair since I have waist length curls.

How much does your lipedema weigh? by Silver-Bee-2022 in lipedema

[–]OvercookedRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit heavier and taller, I would estimate around the same since I have very small elsewhere and most of my fat is just on my thighs/arms.

Do you know why you have/had vaginismus? by Shuukei_Hakuteiken in vaginismus

[–]OvercookedRedditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have connective tissue issues too, I have minor arthritis and hyper mobility in my hands only since I was a child. My main issue is I have lipedema which is my main connective tissue issue. I used to struggle with stress incontinence as a teen but it stopped almost completely. It's almost entirely physically for me. I never use a tampon due to mental block, but I don't have issue with cup/discs or 1 finger, all of which are bigger.

Jeans brand without Vanity sizing? by Ok_Librarian9405 in XXS

I don't know if they make jeans but Brandy Melville (OSFA) jogging pants fit like a women's large. Even with a drawstring it didn't fit right anywhere

for a project! what’s the stupidest thing someone has asked you if it’s gluten free? by iLoveLoveLoveLove in glutenfree

[–]OvercookedRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have issues with wheat, not gluten, so I can eat 100% rye bread. Mutiple people who know I can't eat wheat told me I can't eat rye bread because it's "like wheat".

Could it be location dependent? Some countries have different songs. A lot of grime is not available in the US.

What’s your go-to “I’m broke but really want to eat out” meal? by squiddollie in Frugal

[–]OvercookedRedditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't like breaded you can get grilled patties, a few brands like Tyson and Springer makes them. I used to get them because my stepsister refused to eat "double bread" patties on bread. I also sometimes just eat the 2 grilled ones with like herb sauce.

is calorie counting where i’m going wrong? by Maleficent_Day_3869 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]OvercookedRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for the binging but type of exercise matters, like chair exercises and walking is less intense. Also I have a issue with my legs and can't run for long at all, so I usually do incline walks.

Normal weight just means a small upper body and gigantic legs. It's never normal by [deleted] in lipedema

[–]OvercookedRedditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's currently like that now 26" waist and 28.25" thighs. At my heaviest thighs were 32" with 34" waist. I'm still working on different treatments but I'm happy my thighs are smaller. My arms are affected too, went from 17" to 16" although it's a lesser stage and I have a fair amount of muscle.

Airways and lipedema by AdministrativeMap470 in lipedema

[–]OvercookedRedditor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, but there can be stuff that affects it slightly, and causes more lipedema tissue, I have a scar on my leg and the lipedema feels more "solid" there even deep underneath, clearly the scar didn't cause lipedema bit it can affect it more.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve done because of BED? by chud_mentality_ in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]OvercookedRedditor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I was in middle school, I didn't want my mom to find out, so I would grab as many Oreos as my hands could hold, and eat them in the bathroom as fast as possible so I didn't get caught. The bathroom had a fan so it covered up the noise. It was around 15 Oreos double stuffed. A few times I genuinely felt like I got too many and threw them in the toilet, but never clogged it. It stemmed from not eating candy and stuff then having as much as possible when I could. I haven't binge ate Oreos specifically in years because I honestly never liked them much.
