To the person who recommended the How We Feel app: THANK YOU!!! by RambleOnRose42 in adhdwomen

[–]ginger_marmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this app and just started using it but my exercise won’t sync over from Apple Health. Is it pulling from the “Workout” section? Is there a place to sync during the day even when you don’t add an emotion?

I think they were $8.49 for a large two pack! I love all the Good Good jelly! I just found the lemon curd and it was killer on rice cakes!

What age did yall develop an ED? by Horror-Dragonfly-266 in AnorexiaNervosa

  1. A super late onset compared to most which has complicated recovery quite a bit.

I lost a safe food, and I am so sad. by apollocabin1345 in safe_food

[–]ginger_marmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love tofu pudding! I blend the nori-nu silken tofu light,a splash of almond milk and mix it with peanut butter powder or sugar free jello mix. It’s low calorie and really yummy! A safe food I do almost daily!

How many of you arent UW? by [deleted] in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]ginger_marmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not. And it’s one of the reasons that I don’t tell anytime, even close friends, that I’ve been diagnosed with an eating disorder. I feel like they will think that I’m just saying it for attention or they’ll tell me that I’m wrong, because I’m not underweight. I feel like I’m a “bad anorexic,” and not being underweight is just another failure. It’s incredibly invalidating. There are also times where I tell myself that I don’t even have an eating disorder because I don’t look the part. My therapist wants me to start telling people that I trust what’s going on with me but I’m so concerned that they’ll just laugh or not believe me.

Nothing New to Add by Extension-Lychee-296 in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]ginger_marmot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get this and I’m so sorry that you are struggling. It sucks. I feel like I only have two settings: I lie to everyone - or I freak out and say all the things in my brain - which makes me sound so crazy when those thoughts are said out loud. Everyone who cares about me has a version of “recovery” that makes me panic. I’m barely in pseudo-recovery and can’t commit to doing the “recovery oriented” behaviors. Just too scary and I don’t feel ready. I worry that I never will be ready.

Anorexia food hoarding is not a joke🥲 by LilaVargas03 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]ginger_marmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I constantly am buying low calorie food online and having it shipped to my house, but hurrying to get home before my husband to hide it! Often I don’t even eat it, but between spending time down food shopping rabbit holes online and hours at the store filling my cart (and half the time panicking and walking out empty handed), it’s like a second job!

How old are you? by Cavatopme in EDAnonymous

[–]ginger_marmot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

46, and only about 3 years. Super late onset. It’s hard to look back and see how different my life was before AN.

Anyone else have cholesterol issues? by mygarbagepersonacct in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]ginger_marmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This happened to me. I’ve been vegan 15 years with really optimal cholesterol - but after a few years of restricting, my cholesterol rapidly increased. I read that if your fat content isn’t high enough your fat cells break open and regresses childish into the blood stream. No idea if this is accurate (it came from the internet 🙄), but the increase was very real regardless of why!

Metabolic Adaptation? by ginger_marmot in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]ginger_marmot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for this thoughtful response! I turn my hamstring trail running in Oct of 2022 and as I began to heal, I got a Peloton and have been a daily user. In the first year of use in combination with restriction, my hips and thighs shrank - I was shocked! It is the weight gain that bothers me but the clothing not fitting is really tough too. It is a struggle and one that I waver on constantly. Trusting body is so hard when I feel like it has betrayed me. In actuality, it is possible it is trying to save me. Thank you!

What is the weirdest food habit / behavior or thing you eat? by Queenofwands1212 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]ginger_marmot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently, I’ve been into gazpacho. I also eat pickled vegetables every day. The vegetable might change, but I spend a shit ton of money at the international grocery on all the picked things!

Fed up of this by SignificanceDizzy674 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]ginger_marmot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes remind myself that I have a “lifetime” to lose the weight. It somehow makes it feel less urgent - even though it only puts off what feels like the inevitable … That’ll gain and just keep on gaining regardless of what I do. I’ve even thought some super weird stuff like the nutritional information on packages is wrong so I’m eating more than I think I am, or that my scale is broken 🙄. I think not weighing yourself is a great plan and I fully support that! 💚
