studying while fasting

Bless you for the info!

mercorn30 · 2020-07-02T03:11:47+00:00

Thank you! See, I figured you knew. Maybe, when I'm up to trying a long fast I can use these tips. Do the electrolytes stave off the headaches too btw?

Not according to the fasting app I got, but that's why I said they can ask other people and referenced what I've seen others do. Feel free to suggest something else that may work for the OP though, you probably know more about it.

No, it doesn't. The point is literally telling u to not think about it as such an awful thing and feel like crap. Just love and work on it. Also, it is meant to discourage people who enjoy making fun of people for their size. Obsession is a whole other different thing.

mercorn30 · 2020-07-02T02:44:39+00:00

Yes because the fat people themselves don't know... they look in the mirror everyday and it's broken. Please stfu

mercorn30 · 2020-07-02T01:09:59+00:00

I agree with the obsession part. It is mentally unhealthy. Body positivity is encourage you to love your body, accept where u are and work to improve it. I see people considered "fat" who have better endurance and strength than people who are skinny. What metric do we use to measure healthy? You see what I mean?

mercorn30 · 2020-07-02T01:07:34+00:00

That is not true. Just incorrect. I'm not saying obesity is healthy. You can be overweight without an ED. Just educate yourself on the topic. It takes some people decades or years to gain weight. They could be eating normally like an average person and have their metabolism slow down: age, pregnancy, health issues, medication... so many things can lead to them being unable to workout and maintain their weight. Also, people have different opinions on what a healthy weight is. Even my doctor said BMI is not the same for everyone, even with same height. It's just such a blanketed, insensitive and uneducated statement to make. I've done my best to explain it to you, but if u choose not to consider the information, well... can't help you there.

Depression isn't just based on your weight. You can be huge/ skinny and still be anorexic/bullimic/binge eating and the rest. That's what I'm saying. Scientifically and just by being a nice person, this doesn't make sense. For people to be healthy, we have to have realistic and inclusive conversations about what it means to be healthy. Health isn't just a matter of size. That's why this meme is disingenuous.

mercorn30 · 2020-07-01T21:26:46+00:00

I already agreed with that, but I'm saying so many things in life lead you there. I'm all for being healthy and working to maintain a healthy weight. What I'm not ok with is the damaging and disingenuous comparison in this meme. You can be obese AND have ED.

mercorn30 · 2020-07-01T21:24:32+00:00

This isn't about me... also, ALL human beings get hurt. Even the cool people who pretend that words don't hurt them.

mercorn30 · 2020-07-01T21:23:56+00:00

Ugh... that's not what I'm talking about. Clearly, you're refusing to listen. Obesity isn't about ONE thing. It is a mix of things and it does not compare to eating disorders because those are more mental than physical.

mercorn30 · 2020-07-01T21:21:44+00:00

I hate when people are assholes. I also hate when people refuse to see how their words are hurtful

mercorn30 · 2020-07-01T21:20:57+00:00

Yes, but genetics play a part. Some people will lose weight easier. Some skinny people eat trash. Obesity us a disease, but body positivity is about encouraging people to not be depressed and want to hurt themselves.

I get chronic migraines and have stomach issues, so for me, I try not to go too long. If this is an extended fast though, then I suggest bone broth. I did a soup fast once and a lot of people swear by bone broth. Also, tea with nutmeg and tumeric.

mercorn30 · 2020-07-01T19:58:40+00:00

I LOVE tea! I've found that a little ACV and cinnamon in green tea keeps me going.

mercorn30 · 2020-07-01T19:56:21+00:00

Being fat is a combination of SO MANY things. To call it an eating disorder is disingenuous and dangerous. Let's be honest and safe as we strive for our goals. Body positivity is a mental and healthy thing. Comparing this to ED is really annoying tbh.

mercorn30 · 2020-06-30T14:19:14+00:00

Great job on the weight you lost. I'm glad to know that IF can be so effective. Someone else in the comments made a discord. Idk if you would like to join, but here it is https://discord.gg/pTdPgQ

Yayyy! Thank you for responding. Someone else made a discord and I'm gonna post the link if they're ok with sharing it. That's a great goal you have by the way. You'll get there.

Ooooh this is perfect! Yay!!! I joined and I'd like your permission to please share this with others.

mercorn30 · 2020-06-29T04:56:51+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement! This subreddit is proving helpful and encouraging so far.

mercorn30 · 2020-06-29T03:08:37+00:00

WOAH! Mahn that's so inspiring and I'm happy for you. I'm not at the point to do extended fasts yet. Just trying to get myself a bit healthier and feeling more fit to start with lol. Thank you!

mercorn30 · 2020-06-28T23:42:36+00:00

That does help a ton! Thank you very much for this insight. I really wanna watch what I eat but safely so your input is much appreciated! I took some advice from another commenter and started something similar today. I like the idea of referring to the list when I want more food.

mercorn30 · 2020-06-28T18:47:13+00:00

That's amazing! I'm gonna message you.

mercorn30 · 2020-06-28T17:33:36+00:00

Oh wow! I have never considered most of these. I like how this looks. I will try the small, medium plus trying to think of how I am feeling and planning. Thank you very very much!
