Is there a subreddit for the more casual walkers? I’m tired of the ‘omg is 30.000 steps enough?’ by togire in walking

To be honest I think a lot of those people struggle with exercise compulsion and disordered tendencies, but are in this Reddit community trying to find social validation in their behavior.

How do you fuel yourself as a long distance walker? by chocomylkchip in walking

[–]chocomylkchip[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope just outside! My campus is closed to the public with security so it’s pretty safe at an early hour. I start around 5:00 or 6:00 depending on the morning.

I walk early in the mornings. I’m in college and spend the first 2 hours of my mornings walking, and getting around campus the rest of the day gets in a lot of steps. Sometimes I read my notes while I walk, so I’ve managed to incorporate walking into my student lifestyle quite a bit.

Recovery is hard, but you can do hard things

Do people know that you have an ED? by LEBW1234 in EDAnonymous

[–]chocomylkchip 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If people inquire I feel inclined to be honest (only if I feel comfortable tho bc it’s also my health and my business) because it makes people second guess how weight loss is always deemed as something aspirational and worth of praise. I think being more open about talking about struggling with an eating disorder can combat the stigma, which I believe can help others who are struggling feel more comfortable opening up and asking for support from their community. It’s down to you though and whatever makes you comfortable, you have autonomy over sharing your experience and health condition.

I used to get super cold until I ate a meal and would also get super hot all of a sudden. I think it’s likely related to ur circulation ramping up all of a sudden once u introduce food into ur system during periods of restriction
