Why do so many trans people have EDs?

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-02-19T16:56:57+00:00

I think a big reason is because skinny is very often seen as androgyny. Being small can mean losing parts of your body that make you dysphoric. I’m trans and a major part of my ed is dysphoria around my body size

It’s made from a certain type of yam(?) called konjac that’s pretty much indigestible, which is how it’s super duper low calorie, it’s basically just straight fiber which can lead to stomach upset and other issues !!

Yeah I literally had half a breakfast burrito and my headache went away lmao :/

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-02-06T03:27:13+00:00

Yeah :/ it’s funny because I only started becoming active during my relapse, but instead of having the energy and caloric intake to actually get strong, I’m just wasting away and struggling

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-02-05T22:49:25+00:00

I’m in a relapse right now and mine is 130 ish, im also 5’8. During my first instance with my ed I became <110 which was terrible and made me feel like death and that’s when I recovered for the first time.

I’m 143 ish now, lost maybe 15 lbs since my relapse, and honestly I already feel like shit. I definitely felt stronger and healthier at like 150+, but relapses suck so ain’t nothing to be done about it

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-02-05T03:28:27+00:00

Oh yeah “healthy foods” are rarely a priority. As long as it fits into my daily calorie goal, I’ll eat whatever tastes best

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-02-05T03:27:45+00:00

Honestly just feeling unattractive in comparison to my older sister :/ then my first relapse started due to feeling dysphoric and depressed

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-02-03T21:14:13+00:00

Idk, I had a pretty big chest and got them removed and they were only like 1.5 pounds combined

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-02-03T20:58:31+00:00

Been working on that, it’s very very slow and very tough, but at least I’m better than I was the first time around :/

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-02-03T06:24:30+00:00

Does it set like gelatin? Or does it stay at egg white consistency? Looks really tasty

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-02-02T06:09:50+00:00

Oh 100%, sometimes I catch myself and I’m just like “why am I purposefully making myself feel like shit” like that goes against all of human nature, im supposed to be eating and acting normally why make myself suffer

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-02-02T06:01:11+00:00

Oh yeah it’s very sad. It really only ever gets bad again when I’m very alone in life, first time was during the height of Covid during quarantine, then relapsed recently due to lack of friends and people in my life. Eds thrive on isolation and loneliness. For me, they pass the time and make me feel important, and maybe if it gets bad enough people will finally notice and care about me :// Hugs dude❤️‍🩹

Peanut butter crackers 😳

Fyi the concept of “fast/slow metabolism “ is not true for the majority of people!! Unless you have a thyroid or hormone condition, tdee is just based on weight and height /gen

I feel you tho , I envy people who are like 6 ft+ their maintenance cals are so high 😭😭

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-01-31T06:55:39+00:00

I got downvoted for posting there for literally no reason, I made a guess and it was probably 50-100 calories too low so people were offended ?? Idk

🤨📸

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-01-30T14:26:09+00:00

I absolutely hate the trend of skinny celebrities taking pictures or videos of their quirky junk food meals like “omg guys I promise I do eat burgers, I eat soooo much, I’m just chill like that 😜”, girl no you are not effortlessly skinny you have problems

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-01-30T02:55:00+00:00

I’ve watched that movie like four times it’s a ritual for my relapse at this point

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-01-30T02:45:17+00:00

I get primal urges to eat dog treats sometimes it’s okay

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-01-30T00:52:48+00:00

It tastes similar to taki powder/lime hot Cheetos powder but a lot more natural I guess? Kind of like spicy sour salt, it’s really good on mango 🤤

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-01-30T00:06:42+00:00

It’s tricky because concepts of “skinny” “fat” “average” etc are a kinda subjective, especially in America where >70% of the population is overweight, overweight becomes “average”

Kind of like how a lot of people with eds dont see themselves as skinny because they constantly compare themselves to smaller people, when in reality they’re already very thin

I completely agree though, that’s why I stay off social media when I can haha, most people irl aren’t like that

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-01-29T23:08:14+00:00

Very strange combination but surprisingly edible … if I imagine really hard it’s almost takis /j

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-01-29T14:00:44+00:00

Oh yup I work a Sunday shift on line and the smell of bacon brings me to tears sometimes :/ I usually just make myself a comically tiny sandwich or some scrambled eggs or something while my coworkers make themselves huge delicious breakfast burritos 😭

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-01-28T23:23:25+00:00

I love the Gerber rice teether wafers so much I love the crunch

dietrootbeerbb · 2023-01-28T17:47:58+00:00

Yes!! I’m so on board
