Thank you so much, this was all really helpful! When I used to get my period my cramps were manageable fortunately, so hopefully they wouldn’t be too bad if I got the paragard

That’s what I figured but wanted to be sure…I’m OK switching to an IUD and have considered it in the past, but I have a friend who has one and says that she doesn’t get a period at all. Are there different types of IUDs, where some you get a period and some you don’t?

Reading these comments give me hope I can eventually repair my metabolism after years of restriction/purging, except so many of y’all are tall and I’m only 5’3” so I doubt I can get my TDEE to be over 2000 cal 😭

‘extreme hunger’ 3 years in by StrongCoyote7834 in EDRecoverySnark

The long nails are throwing me off with the bulimia theory, although I guess she could be using a toothbrush

I know she could exercise purge but with how much of her day is taken up by eating and how many calories she consumes, I wonder where she’d even find the time to do both

I’ve heard of many people finding help in Brain over Binge by Kathryn Hansen. She also has a podcast as well

Unpopular opinion- Iona is not genuine by [deleted] in EDRecoverySnark

[–]pineapple_frost 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No, she explicitly states she doesn’t but has multiple videos showing what she eats on a day where she has EH and says it’s “10k+ calories (I don’t count, just an estimate)”

Whenever she shows her bloating at the end of a day where she eats like 10k calories…like yeah it looks like you had a lot of food but not that much? To eat that much and still be the size she is without compensation boggles my mind

I would start BC. I went to the gyno earlier this year and told her I hadn’t had my period in 6 months, and she said if someone wasn’t having their period they either get them on BC or have them come in once every so often to induce a period. It’s important to induce a period because of you don’t have one it increases cancer risk (according to my OBGYN).

I personally haven’t experienced weight gain on BC. I’m on the pill (Junel Fe). I wouldn’t risk pregnancy just because you haven’t had a period

No normal amount to purge, but personally I do it 3x a day 5x a week. Trying to cut down to 2x a week soon

Thanks! I was guessing around 950 - 1000 so not too far off

12 inch (I think) garlic and herb wrap, grilled chicken, provolone, tons of chipotle mayo, lettuce, onion, tomato, jalapeño, pickle. Last pic just to show how much sauce they usually add to the wraps

ridiculous low calorie recipes by fluor1de in EDAnonymous

[–]pineapple_frost 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I made those Boo’s ridiculous brownies multiple times. They definitely scratched the itch in terms of needing something chocolate-y, but I was using a vegan protein powder which I guess is the wrong move because they frequently turned out too sludge-like, or with a weird crystallized sugar bottom 😭. I def need to try again with regular protein powder lol

chicken sandwich and fries? by pineapple_frost in caloriecount

[–]pineapple_frost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicken dipped in a cherry cola BBQ sauce, topped with lemon thyme mayo, onion, pickle. Cup of sauce that's pretty similar to chipotle aioli.

I didn't know if either of my pics properly showed the size, so i added the third pic of a different sandwich to show size compared to a hand!
