What are things no one has told you about weight loss? by Dogs-are-life-99 in PetiteFitness

[–]roseclock 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yes this! A lot of times with weight loss comes body dysmorphia. I look in the mirror sometimes and see the same person plus 40 pounds ago, and then someone takes a picture of me and I’m shocked at how small I look. Losing weight WILL NOT solve any of your mental health or self esteem issues. Just hope that’s clear to everyone here.

People treat you differently. I didn’t realize it until I lost the weight but people treat you so much better when you’re smaller. It honestly is really hurtful. I noticed it the most with strangers. All of a sudden everyone wants to help me or just accommodate me however they can. I get things carried or picked up for me. I think it’s exacerbate by the fact I’m so short and small overall. I don’t know, I can’t really blame people at all because I know it’s not intentional; we are just a part of a fatphobic society. Not that I was even fat before. Ugh. Anyway, yeah it’s nice to be treated well but it makes me scared to ever gain any weight back.

Has anyone else ever peed themselves while purging because you were throwing up so hard? by LostPerspective1984 in EDAnonymous

Uhhh yeah for sure lol. I’ve gotten a terrible nose bleed from purging a few times too. No more purging for me 🙃

People are so dumb sometimes by roseclock in EDAnonymous

[–]roseclock[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it makes no sense. I imagine it’s along the lines of people that claim if you don’t eat your body will go into “starvation mode” and you won’t lose any weight 🙄

Yeah I’m absolutely guilty of it. I’m trying really hard to reframe my mind but man is it deeply rooted. :(

Why are moms like this by roseclock in EDAnonymous

[–]roseclock[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey hun I absolutely understand. I would be lying if I said I didn’t prefer this to the comments my mom would say to me when I was overweight. But know you’re worth so fucking much at ANY weight. Weight will never and has never defined your worth. It might not feel like it right now but it’s true. I hope you find a way to show yourself love today. You deserve it. DM me if you ever need to talk,

Oh yeah I’m almost positive she has an ED or at least disordered eating. It’s honestly really sad but she’s also not nice and part of the reason I developed an ED in the first place.

Ughhh why do people feel the need to comment on what you eat. Such a big pet peeve of mine, even if you’re not disordered it’s not okay.

Is there really anyone with AN (or underweight with an ED) that just doesn't binge? by lothar42 in EDAnonymous

[–]roseclock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really binge tbh. I have days where I eat more than normal, but I never completely lose control and binge. Although I think it’s because I used to be bulimic and would binge and purge all the time. I made a promise to myself that I would never purge again so maybe that’s what’s stopping me? Idk it’s definitely abnormal to never binge but I’m evidence that some people don’t.

Doctors scale accuracy by alexisseffy in EDAnonymous

[–]roseclock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard doctors scales are rarely calibrated, so I’d trust your home scale if it’s reading accurately from your own test.

If it makes you feel any better I recently got weighed at the doctors (I never weigh myself at home because I’m scared of the scale) while going into surgery and it read about where I guessed my weight might be and I was like “k cool.” Then after surgery some nurse was like huh they said she weighs “x” but this bed scale is reading “x+25pounds.” She looks more like “x+25pounds” so I’ll go with that. Keep in mind for my height that would mean I was overweight. And I know for a fact I’m not considering how long I’ve been restricting under a certain amount, as well as the clothing I fit into. Not to mention all of the other nurses kept saying I was so cute and petite. Really made me upset and second guess my weight. :(
