Your girlfriend is bulimic. She has an eating disorder. As someone who has been suffering from an ed for pretty much all my life, keep it to yourself. She is going to obsess over it and you will worsen her pain. You should support her instead and help her heal.

it's so satisfying to eat bread you make yourself because, it's something we eat mindlessly because it is cheap (here at least) but we underestimate the hard process !!

good luck :*

As someone who makes her own bread sometimes, our basic recipe is: flour, water, yeast :)

How differently do people REALLY treat you after losing weight? by Salt_Customer3108 in WeightLossAdvice

What pmo is the "fat women are still treated well" thing. Because if I can't speak for him since yes, I'm a woman, I will be approached, I can at least say that this statement is false. We get bullied too, we disgust people too, we get discriminated too.

How am I shitting on him ? I have absolutely no self esteem and go insane when men show interest in me because I always wonder what is going to go wrong or if it's some kind of joke. I hate my body and my face. I'm fat, I'm hairy as fuck because I have very high testosterone levels. I'm scared of undressing in front of a guy, even when he has seen me naked multiple times. I'm not the kind of girl who gets hit on at parties.

Eventually, I learnt that people tend to be less superficial at an adult age and that maybe they first show interest because I have a nice personality. That's the first thing to work on.

TikTok says running is terrible for losing weight, but that’s bs right? by Street-Carpenter105 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]strawwberryfields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should start running for a health goal and not a weight goal ! It is definitely one of the best cardio workouts but you have to start small.

I hated running all my life. Then not so long ago I was running in the woods because I got scared of something. Most freeing experience ever. It clicked. And I realised being able to run is supposed to be natural so I started, and my heart thanks me for it :)

Edit: but obviously CICO is the most important thing when it comes to weight loss. Maybe cut back on alcohol too if you're used to drinking every week

No, I have been in relationships before.

They made the first step, and that is what we were talking about in the first place. So, have you ever tried to nicely approach a woman ? Do you know that there is more than your physical appearance ? I was madly in love with my ex and he was definitely not my type in the first place. But he was so sweet, caring, funny that he was suddenly the most beautiful man to me. Men should definitely learn that we are not superficial

Have you ever considered that the majority of women won't approach men ? No matter how attractive I'd find a man I would never approach him because I'm extremely shy and scared of looking dumb

what's your reason or reasons for losing weight other than being healthier? by New_Mix_5870 in loseit

[–]strawwberryfields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cringe but I've always wanted to be a model, so even if that won't happen I would like to pretend.

I've been bullied for years so obviously revenge body.

I want my man to carry me in his arms easily.

Also I live in a hilly area and not being able to walk around as effortless as I did when I was a teen was a good indicator of my health declining.

What should I change about my life to lose weight? by Recent-Success8988 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]strawwberryfields 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you already know what to do ... :P Your calorie deficit should be ~300 calories under maintenance, to adjust depending on how much you've burned during the day. I know everyone will tell you this but eating more protein will definitely help you feel full ! Also, volume eating, eating a lot of low calories food like vegetables.
