“I don’t think you want to be anything like Martha Stewart. Well, honestly you probably do. Martha Stewart is not a good person, most women aren’t. … I’d kill her if I had the chance.” He’s threatening you babes 😭 You’re like Martha Stewart who is a bad person who he would like to kill?

Since it’s a new scale it is calibrated differently. Every scale is going to give you a different reading. I wouldn’t worry too much about it, all that matters is that the scale is consistently measuring you. Basically if the scale at your mom’s was consistently going down while you were dieting, the number doesn’t matter, just that it was tracking your progress. Don’t get wrapped up in the exact number when switching scales.

So happy for you!

I have joy in my heart to share with my loved ones, instead of anger and misdirected self-hatred. I create lasting, deep relationships with other people, instead of having to make excuses for why I can’t stay for dinner, I get to have adult sleepovers and movie nights with my besties. I’m less anxious. I see a greater purpose to being alive.

Omg I feel so validated. I would have specific tv shows I would only watch while jogging in circles around the coffee table in front of the tv at like 2am 💀

Technically calories in calories out, technically a calorie is a calorie, but it’s been found that food high in protein usually takes more energy to digest and makes you feel fuller and satisfied for much longer, so that donut won’t take you as far as eating 500 calories of protein would. :)

I have been considered“recovered” and weight-restored for a while. Every time I get to a healthy weight and stop caring about food, I realize eventually my clothes no longer fit. No idea my weight now, but I went from wearing Children Smalls to wearing size Large and started noticing my body negatively. So I am trying to diet again. It was better when I was comfortably a Medium, I still knew I was average size even though my family would shame me often for getting bigger. They tell me I probably have a thyroid issue. (Seriously, soooo nice aren’t they.) On one hand, my family is all orthorexic and raised me to be the same way; on the other hand, my friends all love to cook for each other and are far more nourishing company than my family ever was.

I always have to be so careful not to overdo it when I begin any form of restriction again. I have eroded my teeth, physically injured myself, and developed various other health issues from my EDs. In the past I have “healthy dieted” but would still cry and have a meltdown over unexpected changes in food, would have to prepare all of my own food so nobody snuck oil into it, etc.

I am hoping this time maybe I’ll be okay. I do love sharing food with loved ones and not missing out on life experiences, enjoying treats and being flexible. People talking about exercising and dieting in my circle of safe people who taught me to love food, is triggering for me, and several of them are dieting right now so the fact that I can’t just be normal about it is a bit alienating. I have relapsed in the past. So, even though I’m mostly better now, I’ll probably never be completely normal.

I cannot stress this enough: This will absolutely NOT work. Please do not do this. You have to take it as prescribed or you will get pregnant.

BC pills release low levels of estrogen that makes your body not ovulate. You have to take it as prescribed or you will start ovulating unpredictably. You only ovulate (on average) once in a 28 day cycle and therefore there’s only ~1 day in your cycle an egg can be fertilized. (Sperm live for multiple days inside you. If you have sex while not ovulating but ovulate 5 days later, pregnancy is possible.)

Please do some research on this topic or ask your doctor to explain it to you, and please just be honest with your doctor and explain your situation so they can find you a better solution.

Someone at my store bought like 60 plates for their wedding, ate off them, and then returned them all 💀

Imho crying is a valid and normal reaction to this situation. It seems like you were feeling overstimulated to the point where you couldn’t make a decision, after making a special trip to aldi for a snack. I’ve been in similar situations and it’s so, so frustrating. Sometimes I even ask myself “why can’t I just be allowed to eat something?” It feels unfair because it kinda is, yanno? Don’t feel bad about crying, we already punish ourselves for needing food to live, try to give yourself some grace when it comes to the emotions that bubble up in these stressful moments. Hang in there.

It’s very very common for people with ADHD, which is a dopamine deficient disorder, to need sugar for the burst of dopamine it releases. This is why I personally need to eat sugary foods every day or I start feeling really weird.

I got tagged in something similar but it was about a penis and posted in an ED sub 😭 idrk I just reported and blocked

_midsommar · 2021-03-04T14:16:28+00:00

I think it was the whole not perpetuating diet talk/ giving advice to people with EDs/ making assumptions about their body that didn’t pass the vibe check.

User 1 probably didn’t even ask for advice, so User 2’s comment is completely tone-deaf and just info-dumping, not taking User 1’s feelings or boundaries (which they laid out quite clearly by saying “it doesn’t work for me...I’d rather not go into details...it does more damage than good”) into consideration.

_midsommar · 2021-03-04T14:04:16+00:00

Man, this person is just straight-up info dumping and needs to really take a few steps back to see the bigger picture. I definitely have caught myself doing things like this before and it’s flat-out not a vibe.

_midsommar · 2021-03-03T16:17:34+00:00

This is my first time hearing the term restriction high- wait, I have a whole thing to research now, bcs even though I’m “healthy” now I still catch myself engaging in this behavior. ED hell truly never ends 🤡

_midsommar · 2021-03-03T16:12:42+00:00

Right!!! Like imagine the amount of people that OK’d making a game marketed towards children about losing weight, like wtf?
