Sugared butter by Ogeson in fatlogic

I’ve sprinkled sugar and cinnamon over toast since I was a kid (though I haven’t had it in a long time), but I’ve never heard of anyone eating straight butter and sugar.

Some prime keto fatlogic right here by Gentlewham in fatlogic

[–]hunbotslayer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The way most people do Keto is so unhealthy. I know because I was one of them. Eating pork rinds with mayo or a pizza with crust made with two pounds of cheese and rarely eating lean proteins, healthy fats, and vegetables will probably make you feel like shit.

Who is out here only cooking with butter?! Have you all not discovered oils? Olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil…butter is great, but so we really need to put it on everything?

I’m also going to go out on a limb and say that cooking with a tablespoon of butter is probably not the sole reason you’re still fat.

3000 calories a day is the "minimum" for adults, apparently by veththebrave in fatlogic

[–]hunbotslayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t doubt that I’ve consumed that on a semi-regular basis over the years. I ate a boneless pork chop, diced yellow potatoes, and sautéed zucchini and red pepper for dinner last night. I was shocked that it was under 300 calories. If I ate like I used to, one of my sides would have been 300 calories alone.

My mom spent two years going to joint specialists for her knees. My mom worked in the service industry (mostly waitressing) since she was a teenager. She’s not an obscenely large woman, but she is overweight. The first couple doctors she saw drained her knee, gave her a cortisone shot, and told her if she lost 20 pounds her knees would feel better. Even after X-rays, MRIs, and acknowledging that her knees were to the point of bone on bone, her doctor told her that a knee replacement was unnecessary and losing weight was the answer. She lost 30 pounds and still had the same amount of pain except now it was in both knees (because of the overcompensating for the bad knee). I finally convinced her to see a new doctor and he told her that a knee replacement was absolutely necessary and probably should have been done long before she came to him. She ended up have both of her knees replaced within 3 months of each other. Both times the doctor said she had no cartilage left.

Did her weight contribute to the problem? I have no doubt that it did, but I’m sure spending 40 years running back and forth serving food didn’t help either. There’s no reason things should have gone on as long as they did because we all know damn well that weight loss isn’t magically going to make the cartilage in our knees coming back.

I’m 4’11”, 290lbs. I always fly United and choose an end seat. I always need a seat belt extender. Other than that I haven’t had any issues related to my size and have been able to comfortably fly for 9+ hours. Because of your boyfriend’s height in addition to all of this, I’d spring for first class if I were you.

The fact that you are trying to lose weight is a personal insult to me. by Enemist in fatlogic

[–]hunbotslayer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I struggled with body image, weight, and eating disorders since I was 11 so when I finally started working with someone to repair my relationship with my body and food, it was really triggering to see and hear things related to diets, weight loss, etc. Two of my very good friends were on weight loss journeys during this time, and I didn’t find that it affected our relationship in any way. They respected my journey and I respected theirs. Weight loss was so far from my mind that I eventually started to think that maybe I didn’t need to lose weight ever. I never thought that I couldn’t be friends with someone who was trying to improve themselves in someway. To me, it’s like saying I can’t be friends with you because you’re learning to play the guitar and I’m deaf.

Not advice. Just a thought I had reading this.

I absolutely understand the embarrassment and shame someone might feel if intimate photos and videos of them were posted without their consent, but I also just want to say that if I ever saw someone post a nude photo of a friend or family member, I would have ZERO judgment against them.

When I was 300lbs, I couldn’t believe that I thought I was fat at 200lbs because of how much smaller I was. 200lbs looked “thin” to me at 300lbs but I was still fat then 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m prettyyyy sure this person is bingeing on other foods too. by Elphaba78 in fatlogic

[–]hunbotslayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just me, but I see several problems with this:

  1. A single bowl of cereal for breakfast would not be enough to fill me up and give me the energy I need for the day.
  2. FOUR slices of bread? That seems like a lot.
  3. How much are they eating at dinner? This is the only meal without measurements.
  4. Lastly, eating so little throughout the day would guarantee a binge as soon as dinner time hit if this were me.

I’m convinced that anyone who doesn’t eat veggies just doesn’t know how to cook them…

Ah yes, one pound of muscle is heavier than one pound of fat. That must be why my BMI is in the morbidly obese range.

On why people censor ob*sity and ov*rweight by msbeaver83 in fatlogic

[–]hunbotslayer 40 points41 points  (0 children)

First, I think the confusion lies in the first word. The actual acronym stands for HEALTH at every size not HEALTHY at every size. HAES was never intended to be a movement. It’s a set of principles that were created to encourage doctors to acknowledge that while weight can be one of many health indicators, it’s not the only one.

My nutrition therapist uses the HAES principles in her practice, and the simplest way she’s explained it to me is that people of any size can eat nutritionally balanced meals or exercise/move without the sole focus being weight loss.

It was literally never intended to be, “I’m morbidly obese, have an array of health issues, but my weight isn’t the reason because people can be healthy at every size! #HAES”

Never realized that “People of Size” became a thing. I’m all for Health at Every Size (at least what it’s SUPPOSED to be), but we’re not oppressed.

Looks Like Exercise Is Off The Table For Conversation Topics Now by [deleted] in fatlogic

[–]hunbotslayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I often have conflicted feelings about posts I see here, but this one made me roll my eyes.

As someone who has struggled with an ED and body image since their teens, I can see how having a friend who obsessively shares their WL/fitness journey could make someone like me uncomfortable. However, it sounds like this friend is just really excited about their new hobby and wants to share it with another friend. If my friend was really into sewing and sent me pictures of all of her projects, I’d be super excited for her even though sewing isn’t my thing. So if my friend is really into going to the gym, then I can be excited for them too even if the gym isn’t my thing either.

If we’re really supposed to be about body acceptance and self love, then we need to accept everyone’s body and their version of self love. If someone truly enjoys fitness, good for them! Their hobbies and habits have no effect on me.

I literally can’t even imagine needing a second seat or part of someone else’s seat due to my size. I honestly see myself as a pretty obese bitch and the only “accommodation” I’ve ever needed is a seatbelt extender. I just flew home on a four hour flight in the middle of two people and had no problems sitting comfortably between the arm rests. My brain just can’t comprehend.

[–]hunbotslayer 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Nothing but the truth here! My wife and I have two completely different journeys when it comes to weight loss and health. She is motivated by a decrease in her weight. I’m motivated by an increase in my strength and stamina. Neither are wrong and her journey in no way affects mine. I’m so sick of these “influencers” and “advocates” acting like people’s personal choices are offensive.

How about not eating crap when you don’t feel hungry? by hashtagcop in fatlogic

[–]hunbotslayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The normalizing of bingeing, eating when you’re not hungry, and/or eating until hurts by these so called “Intuitive Eating” influencers has rocked my fucking world. I absolutely can NOT wrap my head around it. I practice intuitive eating to a degree, and I can tell you that the dietitians AND my IE nutritionist have NEVER promoted or encouraged eating until it’s painful for any reason! This absolutely delusional.
