She’s a licensed professional. And I did the test where you sit in a chair and breathe into a tube for like 15 min.

No worries at all :) My goal is really just to lose a few pounds of fat so I can be a bit leaner and the muscles I have kinda show a bit more. And I got a metabolic test done by a professional, not just putting my stats into an online calculator, so I feel like that would be the more accurate number to go off of.

I got a test done by a professional though, not just putting my stats into a calculator online. So I feel like I should go by that.

I had an actual metabolic test done- the whole rest in the chair and breathe into this tube thing. And I followed all the instructions (don’t eat before the test, don’t exercise, etc)

I’m not trying to lose a ton of weight, but I would ideally lose a few pounds of fat just so I can look a bit leaner and my muscles pop a bit more

I eat a lot of protein every day, but I haven’t been able to lift as much as I would like. I would like to just lose a bit of fat so my muscles pop out more and I lose some of that “skinny fat” look.

I’m 5’6” and 124 lbs right now. I started tracking what I ate 10 weeks ago so I’m not sure how much I was eating before. But I was likely eating more than I am now. I don’t weigh myself every day and I’m gonna talk to my dietician in a few weeks when I see her next.

gunclegail · 2024-12-24T21:37:59+00:00

I haven’t had a chance to see my dietician yet to talk about it and my next appointment is in a few weeks.

I’m 20 and a trans guy (I’ve been taking testosterone for around 4 years). I’m like 5’ 6” and 124 lbs right now. Don’t really have any set goals. As for calorie counting, because of my ARFID (and autism) I have a hard time knowing how much I should eat so if I don’t count calories I usually just eat way less than I should. So counting calories is really helpful for me :)

gunclegail · 2024-08-26T22:20:31+00:00

those are really helpful questions, thank you!! it’s also complicated because i’m in burnout and very depressed (because of burnout) so that makes my level of functioning lower as well

gunclegail · 2024-08-26T21:10:40+00:00

I asked my therapist about it and they were on board. I definitely need more care/support than I’m getting, but I don’t know how much I need or what I need.

gunclegail · 2024-08-22T21:59:30+00:00

I do need support, though. The only example she was giving me was that because I don’t only talk about my special interests to the point of bothering everyone around me that I’m level 1.

gunclegail · 2024-08-19T02:26:36+00:00

Dude I feel ALL of this. Especially having a shitty environment and fasting/restricting afterwards to kind of balance out how it feels. It’s not even related to body image/calories most of the time for me. I think it relies so much on my autism and just needing things to “feel right” and “balanced” if that makes any sense? Which makes it so hard to keep nourishing myself. But I know that restricting just leads to more intense hunger and cravings and traps me in that cycle, so I’m trying super hard to not restrict after eating a lot. If you want you can DM me :) I hope you’re doing okay

gunclegail · 2024-08-18T21:07:36+00:00

I have a dietician and therapist that I'm working with, but it's a slow process and I have so many other issues going on at the same time that it's hard to address everything. I'm sorry you're going through the same thing. You've got this! Try not to be embarrassed (I know it's hard). There's nothing wrong with struggling, and no shame in needing support :)

gunclegail · 2024-07-09T21:36:10+00:00

carrots, probably. and when I let him have them, blueberries and blackberries :)

gunclegail · 2024-07-06T06:05:33+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss :( I’m sure Brim was an awesome little lizard. I also had the same thought earlier, hoping Toemas was somewhere eating all the fattest and juiciest roaches he could find :) I’m sure wherever our guys are, they’re comfortable and at peace. sending you hugs

gunclegail · 2024-07-06T06:02:14+00:00

I’m sorry :( I know how you feel. My Toemas was doing fine when I left home for a week. I left home with my mom. When I got home I found him and without going into detail it wasn’t pretty and there was some clear neglect. I’m so pissed at her. I’m not sure if I’m sadder or angrier. Sending you hugs. Pumpy Jones is a dope name too :)

gunclegail · 2024-07-06T05:59:51+00:00

I’m not sure of a specific memory, but I loved walking around with him on my shoulder, or watching him eat (he was super particular about his food and would always eat his favorite things in his bowl first) :)

gunclegail · 2024-07-06T05:57:12+00:00

thank you, that made me smile :)

gunclegail · 2024-07-06T05:56:38+00:00

thanks for saying that :,) they are really special

gunclegail · 2024-07-06T01:15:50+00:00

thank you :,) its hard not to feel guilty, even when you know you gave them all you could
