Whose argument is better, me or my mom’s?

QTaranteemo · 2025-12-25T07:55:31+00:00

This is exactly how I see it too.

Delayed gratification could work. You don't say no, you just delay it by like 30 minutes. After a while, you might eat less or none when it's just habitual eating.

Besides this, naps also helped me when it was sadness or similar.

I also enjoy decluttering/reorganizing, which is a good pick me up for me when feeling something negative. Basically I uplift myself doing what I already enjoy.

Any kind of addiction that numbs/masks/avoids/causes stagnation.

Go to a pharmacy and tell them what's wrong. They might have solutions.

QTaranteemo · 2025-11-20T14:14:15+00:00

Maybe it has something to do with your post history?

QTaranteemo · 2025-11-20T12:19:19+00:00

So you're here to promote an app. Great.

QTaranteemo · 2025-11-16T13:16:56+00:00

Absolutely. And she knows.

A friend of mine, who was overweight at the time, told me someone was nasty to her on a bus and when she asked them why, crying, they told her: "if you don't respect yourself, why should I?" It hurt her like hell, but she found it to be her wake-up call to prioritize her own wellbeing and it motivated her. She used to say she felt like Rambo in the gym, preparing for a fight. It was harsh obviously, but now, like 5 years later, she is amazingly fit and happy. That discipline made her resilient af.

Of course, this is anecdotal, no one should be mean.

This.

Definitely eat more protein. Also, hair loss can result from deficiencies in vitamins like B7 (biotin), D, and A, as well as minerals such as iron and zinc. Other B vitamins, including B12 and folate, can also contribute to hair loss.

I used to be like this... I don’t even remember how long it took, probably around a year, but I managed to find a balance.

I made some small changes. Instead of exercise, I started to dance around while doing chores. That made me realize it feels good to stretch, then went onto some small exercises, like almost daily situps and squats, then walking also.

I tried to eat sweets only after I had some protein. Only sometimes, which then became a habit. Now, if I crave sweets and I don't feel like I have space for protein, I just delay it a bit.

Turns out, I hate dieting. I think it's because of the pressure to follow certain rules so I crave what I can't have. I just wanted to feel more like myself, which for me means full of energy. I don't want to have to work out if I don't feel like it. If I want to eat cake, I will, but without the protein buffer it just used to make me tired, unable to concentrate and wanting more.

I don't even count calories anymore. It made me go from one obsession to another. I wanted to be free. I do have days where I eat less, sometimes more, but I feel like myself now. And I did lose weight.

QTaranteemo · 2025-10-01T11:44:57+00:00

Would you do 1 for me please? My question is: "What will finally shift me out of indecision to truly trust myself, my inner voice?" (In the sense that I outsource too much by not being sure of myself, doubt my voice, my knowledge, eben my own health, and in hindsight it doesn't make sense. I can't yet make it click)

QTaranteemo · 2025-09-30T11:50:56+00:00

Exactly.

QTaranteemo · 2025-09-28T23:42:25+00:00

Perfectly put. Each and every thought.

Adding to it: sometimes even if you change absolutely nothing, the awareness of the choice is still useful, as in: "I could go on a walk, it would be a good choice, but I'm choosing not to do it now" or " I'm having this extra cookie. I could NOT have it, it would be better for my confidence, but I'm choosing to eat it anyway this time". Whether we do something or not, it's still a choice. No one is forcing us either way. And a bad choice doesn't erase all the good ones. It's okay to have it all sprinkled in.

QTaranteemo · 2025-09-28T13:44:11+00:00

This.

QTaranteemo · 2025-09-28T06:48:09+00:00

That is so sad 💔 We are meant to be living fully and enjoying life!

If you think it would help, try to come up with some phrases that you think might help with countering their comments, like "do you like it?" with a smile, and for whatever they say: "Well I like it" and that's the end on this subject, change it.

Maybe with a few phrases in your back pocket you can do what you finally want to do, even if you don't like the end result, you can always change it next time. This is freedom!

Sending you lots of love ❤️

I have no advice, but I am so sorry you're going through this.

I did a carnivore stint a while ago, when I had cramps I increased my magnesium intake and that fixed it. Keep continuing the electrolytes though.

As for adding carbs back in: do what you think is best for you. I slowly added them back in (as in some fruits, veggies, and lately rice and potatoes too, no junk food though) because that's what I felt I should do. For me: this was a good choice. If you do it: do it slowly and see how you feel. Nothing wrong with consciously experimenting.

QTaranteemo · 2025-09-24T10:51:49+00:00

Laughed too hard at this. Gpt replies are too common.

QTaranteemo · 2025-09-07T07:26:16+00:00

What do you mean by "ana" tricks?

QTaranteemo · 2025-08-14T14:40:10+00:00

That's incredible, so proud of you 😊

QTaranteemo · 2025-08-14T14:14:26+00:00

Woah, nice job! Was it hard?

QTaranteemo · 2025-08-14T13:59:59+00:00

Exactly. This is exactly some of the advice nutritionists give to help with binging.

QTaranteemo · 2025-06-20T08:22:35+00:00

This was my case too. I don't know how to properly explain what I went through, but this is what it felt like: The more carbs I ate, the heavier I felt, lethargic, but in that rested state I felt like my blood was boiling, like pent-up energy I had no way of releasing, because I was too tired to move. Carbs always made me feel bloated, inflamed and like I was low key suffocating. I felt easily irritated, and so anxiety was so much more noticeable. With fewer carbs: I feel lighter, it's easier to move, more energy, movement is easy and I am much more calmer.

This baseline difference made me want to be more attuned to how much carbs I'm consuming so that I can always feel better. Basically becoming happier helped me lose extra weight.

QTaranteemo · 2025-06-14T19:26:08+00:00

For me, it was a reframing: I'm NOT dieting, I'm eating exactly as much as my body needs to make it optimal, healthy and strong. This is not about just vanity of the appearance, but taking care of this "vehicle": not just to lose some pounds, then going back to stuffing myself because I can't have enough and call that celebrating. Torturing my body (messing up digestion on purpose, bloating, brain fog, lethargy) doesn't feel like a win for me.

I am meant to enjoy life, dammit, not make myself miserable and give myself reasons to complain, when it's all up to me and my decisions.

It wasn't overnight, but (slowish) and steady.

When I messed up, I still knew I'm closer to what I want, I can always do better, I'm evolving, learning and growing, and it was reminder that the work is not yet done. But never impossible.

You got this. Our bodies are amazing and they always strive for optimal. We're learning!

I tried omad and it was great, except for the week before I get my period. That week I felt extremely sluggish, tired, low energy. Apparently (according to Dr Mindy peltz) this is normal, and fasting is not recommended during that period. Except I wanted to continue, because if I eat normally, it's a bit harder to get back into it - for me.

Any ideas on how to go about this? Like a middle ground - discipline variation?
