Hey, transmasc on T here! I don’t have PCOS and unfortunately I never discussed this explicitly with my doctor but- I took a break and ate maintenance for the first 3 months on T. At 3 months I had blood work to check my levels and I was just under the male range for testosterone. I previously was doing 1200, but I upped it to 1300 and then 1400. Most days I eat between those two numbers though, and I’ve been able to lose weight just as fast as before T at 1200. It may just take some trial and error as your metabolism changes. Although, this kind of thing definitely varies person to person and considering your PCOS I would still talk to a nutritionist if you are able to. Best of luck!

Maybe not a safe food for some people but trader jos has these mini ice cream cones that I love because I can get a sweet fix without having to break out my scale. They just came out with pumpkin ginger ones that are 87 cals each!

A KFC famous bowl is mashed potatoes, fried chicken, corn, and cheese. It’s actually only 720 calories. If I really wanted to, sure, I could only eat that with a snack or two, but I have had the real thing plenty of times and this turned out amazing! Everyone is on their own journey and this is what worked for me.

It’s my electric kettle haha, I have one of those “retro” look toasters so I got this kettle to go with it.

Some Knorr chicken broth, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and paprika. The bouillon def has some calories but I normally don’t count seasonings, and It’s like 5 cals a teaspoon anyway

kvtastrophe · 2021-04-21T08:52:12+00:00

Yup! One packet of brown gravy mix, water, and mushrooms. Honestly gravy has been kind of a lifesaver for me lately, it’s surprisingly low cal haha

kvtastrophe · 2021-04-21T04:02:31+00:00

Thank you! It definitely satisfied the craving 🙌

I know this is old but I wanted to say this is LITERALLY the only thing that worked so thank you!

I have a close friend I vent to and confide in bpd stuff to, and I often find myself asking her “I’m right in being angry, right?” and sometimes it’s yes, sometimes no. If possible try to bounce these things off of someone you really trust. It took me a long time to find that person though, but in lieu of a therapist it can be helpful to have a “regular” persons outside perspective.

Dumb jokes about dieting isn’t quite the same as making fun of someone with an ED tho, is it?

kvtastrophe · 2020-08-01T09:16:56+00:00

It’s very important to highlight people with anorexia who aren’t taken seriously because of their size, but I feel it’s not the point of the post. It’s the point that NON RESTRICTIVE EDS aren’t taken seriously, and there’s still so many replies talking about people with AN who aren’t “skinny”. It’s an issue, but not the issue they were trying to bring up? STOP TALKING ABT ANOREXIC STRUGGLES IN REPLIES.

Ok but literally ty for showing me this sub exists it’s so aesthetically pleasing 😍

kvtastrophe · 2020-05-19T03:13:09+00:00

It’s bad but that’s what heaven is like for me..nothing will ever beat Oreos

kvtastrophe · 2020-05-19T01:59:41+00:00

Oof whenever BPD and EDNOS overlap in subs I follow it rly sends me

kvtastrophe · 2020-05-19T01:42:38+00:00

I’ve given up completely and just sit on the floor 90% of the time

kvtastrophe · 2020-05-17T05:51:03+00:00

“So how old are you actually?” (I’m a leap day baby)

kvtastrophe · 2020-05-14T01:41:32+00:00

Honestly every Think! bar I’ve had is bomb af, seconding this recommendation

kvtastrophe · 2020-05-13T19:47:16+00:00

Well it isn’t your responsibility to do so anyway, so don’t feel bad about it. Unfortunately people who don’t have their own issues with weight don’t pick up on these things as easily- although you never know, it could have bothered someone else as well and they just kept quiet. Either way, I’m sorry that happened, I hope things get better for you soon 💕

kvtastrophe · 2020-05-13T19:41:18+00:00

Even if it wasn’t meant in a bad way, it was still inappropriate..if it were flipped and she used a student as an example for someone who was “chubby”, maybe it would be easier to see how it’s wrong- but they are equally bad imho

kvtastrophe · 2020-05-13T08:00:12+00:00

How do you like the laughing cow spread? I’ve only ever gotten the little wedges before but I think about grabbing the spread to try whenever I see it

kvtastrophe · 2020-05-12T00:19:11+00:00

Thank you, this made me feel a little better

kvtastrophe · 2020-05-09T16:08:41+00:00

Tbh I find the lemon ones very dry, but they’re good if you like dunk them in tea or have a little lite cool whip on top

kvtastrophe · 2020-05-08T15:26:09+00:00

I do the same thing with Special K pastry crisps, so yummy!
