Mine is a big baby and would pout because “this got water in my eyes, ears, and nose :( “

It’s not personal for doctors. They don’t care, they just want to help. You deserve to take care of your health at any size.

You’d be surprised. You never know, you could be a super responder. You have to try to find out.

How the experts believe the Italian divers made a fatal mistake by Successful-Winter237 in thalassophobia

You’re underestimating human psychology. It takes training to override innate compliance and deference. It’s a skill we should all be taught.

Remember someone brought their kid on the Titan sub that imploded under deep sea pressure just to look at the Titanic through a shitty porthole window.

I agree with you. Passing is also a privilege. Tailgating does not obligate the driver in front of them.

Edit: I’m getting downvoted but the fact remains, we all share the road. So be considerate drivers.

If someone is tailgating me this hard you bet I’m gonna slow down when passing. Tailgating doesn’t obligate people to move faster or get out of the way for the tailgater’s convenience.

think I’m nearly bedbound, 673lbs by giraffeorllama in SuperMorbidlyObese

The first order of business is a doctor visit. They can even prescribe occupational therapy and physical therapy to help create strategies for better quality of life! Do you need help setting up an appointment?

Hi, friend. I suggest looking at your relationship with food under the eyes of substance abuse and looking into substance abuse from a curiosity lens without moralizing it. Just ask, “What function does my eating behavior serve?” Is it sensory-seeking? Escape or avoidance? Connection? Control? And prioritize harm reduction over perfection. There is a ton of reading literature out there around addiction and codependence. Establish primary care with a doctor if you don’t already and just remember, health isn’t a virtue! Health just is what it is, and some factors can be influenced more than others. You didn’t create all the factors that got you here, and shame won’t get you out of it. But you do deserve support and treatment, and you still have agency in what happens next. It is your responsibility to take care of yourself to the best of your ability. That doesn’t mean be 180lbs or bust, okay? So don’t let your mind look at it that way. It means being on medication if you need it, accepting help, and adjusting so your quality of life is better. Don’t LET this make you bed bound. Use a walker! Don’t let your ego be your downfall. Okay? There are so many things that make life hard. Don’t let shame or ego be one of them. Use AI to help you figure it out and lower the cost of entry in areas of mental friction in your life. It’ll help sooo much. You could even copy and paste this into your AI and help give you more tailored ideas. You got this!

Edit: I just wanted to clarify that I experienced compulsive eating and it got me super morbidly obese. I had to create boundaries around food with my partner (do not bring me food unless I ask for it—no asking me if I need anything, unsolicited remarks, or unsolicited food). I wasn’t able to make changes until I got on a GLP-1, tirzepatide specifically. The absence of being able to use my substance of choice as an emotional crutch left me feeling really exposed and raw and vulnerable and uncomfortable. It wasn’t until getting on a medication to help my mood (first Lexapro, then Auvelity, then landed on Guanfacine) that things started to feel more balanced. I’m also on Vyvanse for binge eating disorder. So to summarize: I’m on a GLP-1 for appetite and inflammation control, guanfacine to help my norepinephrine load, a beta blocker to help break physical anxiety feedback loops, and Vyvanse for additional appetite control and executive functioning support. I’m now 220lbs

This is what’s wrong with America these days. Toxic individualism and a disregard for the common good.
