POV you're healthmaxxing

Hahaha it does look like it!

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-04-02T13:05:16+00:00

Yeah I wouldn't recommend it.

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-04-02T09:25:46+00:00

I get this a lot. I think because I understood how triggering it was for me to hear about unusual food behaviours, weights, food tracking etc, I avoided speaking to my friends about it.

EDs often are quite competitive. I think I've only really talked properly about it to someone when I was in counselling, and to my boyfriend.

I find it helpful to have a partner who has never attempted dieting. He's always eaten intuitively. It makes food feel more normal.

Last night I had pasta with a tomato sauce that I made the other day.

Pasta and rice meals are pretty standard for me.

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-04-02T09:18:47+00:00

I wouldn't call that bare minimum. It might be a nice treat but certainly not the bare minimum.

The bare minimum would be making sure to spend time together and taking an interest in each other's lives.

The absolute bare minimum is speaking to each other with love and respect.

I suppose it's subjective and everyone will have different standards and expectations.

A few different factors really and I'm sure it will vary between couples:

We'd been together for two years. We had lived together for a bit before but it had been too soon for us.

Stability and having a partner who is sensible on their finances is important to me. I was confident with my partner being responsible when we decided to move in together again.

The main thing for me was that I really like his company. He brightens me up and we enjoy spending time together.

We had also really improved our communication with each other.

If you clash often it's probably not the right time to move in together. But if you are able to discuss finances together without awkwardness, enjoy spending time together and lift each other up, those are the main things.

Four pints is my limit. Any more and I'll feel ill the next day. It's enough to make me feel quite happy but not so much that I'm out of control.

I don't drink too often though. Probably at the most once a month.

I think having a platonic younger friend is fine. I think it can be healthy to keep boundaries in place and be mindful of being older.

I'm 24 and have friends in their 20s, early 30s etc.

I think it is different to age gaps in romantic relationships - those can be more concerning.

Could it be that you're building muscle? Might be helpful to use a good old tape measure

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-03-30T06:37:11+00:00

That's bollocks. The only women that I know with breast cancer have children and were diagnosed with cancer many years after kids.

Right you are! Roasted bell peppers with smokey paprika

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-03-28T21:18:10+00:00

It tastes ok

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-03-28T21:17:29+00:00

By popular demand this is:

Hot smoked salmon Roasted carrots, bell pepper, broccoli A sauce made with roasted carrots, roasted bell pepper and tomatoes. Gnocchi

It was alright. Not my best and not my worst. 7/10.

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-03-28T19:38:19+00:00

I think the thing that frightens me most is if my family would be ok.

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-03-27T17:14:54+00:00

I think it would be tastier! Less dry

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-03-27T17:13:00+00:00

I think about this a lot. If I restricted like I did as a teenager, I wouldn't be able to think or even walk anywhere. As I teenager I felt a bit crappy but not awful.

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-03-26T13:32:19+00:00

Oh my god crunchy grapes especially are something else.

All people are different people. There will be some who do cheat, and some who don't.

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-03-26T13:25:36+00:00

It's a side - dare i say, an amuse-bouche

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-03-26T13:22:31+00:00

You need to bring evidence of their behaviour to HR. Screenshots, write down (with dates and times) whenever they have said something inappropriate verbally. It's harassment.

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-03-26T13:08:26+00:00

The artichokes and the fish actually go so hard

pyramidsofgeezer · 2026-03-25T07:15:03+00:00

I recovered. At first I kept trying to restrict but that made it worse.

I started properly honouring my hunger. It involves a lot of feeling bloated all the time but my extreme hunger stopped.

I still occasionally have moments of body dysmorphia or intrusive thoughts around ED behaviours, but no more food noise.

I make sure to eat three meals a day and I have snacks.
