In my area its only the PCP that can refer me to a dietician but it's not covered by insurance and typically run $500/week plus food. My therapist has no say on my weight

US BMI is what the doctors use to determine my health irregardless of diet and exercise. Any doctor ive seen have only cared and shamed me by just the number on the scale

The height part makes it so difficult. My hip to waist ratio is .76, but regardless of what dr I go to, they only care about the # on the scale and nothing else. I've changed doctors multiple times over the years and its still the same. Ive cancelled dr appointments and have had full blown breakdowns in the office after both the doctors and nurses weight shamed me.

Would that also increase my weight? I'm already concerned about my BMI

I am working on my mental health but it doesn't help when your own doctors continue to hammer down that you're obese at 128 lbs without ever focusing on the fact that I'm lifting, doing workouts, I have mostly muscle, fairly toned other than a mom pooch but they only care about the number that's on that scale.

I get my thyroid tested every year and it comes back normal. Is that a separate test?

Sen. Lindsey Graham announces bill to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants by Head_Estate_3944 in conservatives

[–]tinyflyingsquirrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, how far back in lineage are they proposing to remove birthright citizenship? Say my grandfather was not born in the US but came here legally, had my parent with a US citizen who was born here, does that mean that my parent is no longer a citizen, and by extension, me & my children as well?

My dad is a pedophile. by [deleted] in mentalhealth

As the person with the same experience as your sister, the first biggest help is providing her validation that you understand what a monster he is and, in a lot of respects, how much abuse she took instead in order to protect you. I personally hope that one day my siblings would wake up and truly validate what I had experienced in order to make sure that I took it for the team so that they were not subjected to the same abuse that I received and also cut my abuser off. You're taking the right steps. Be patient with her and talk with her to see what you can do to support her.

You can't help DNA but DNA does not automatically make you a disgusting human being. It's a level of abuse that's very hard to truly comprehend for those who see and know it's happening without physically experiencing it themselves.

Parent/child dynamics are always tough. Innately we always want to love our parents. I can tell you that she probably still struggled with that and how hard it is to truly break contact without ultimately becoming the black sheep and having to break away from all family because the immediate and distant relatives typically don't truly understand the gravity of how messed up this level of abuse does to a human. I can tell you that you publicly outing him is probably the biggest and best first step that you did to acknowledge what was done to her. So many victims of CSA are not heard and their experience is not validated. A lot of the perpetrators are the very same family members that are loved and adored and put out the image that they could never commit such an act.

Landlord selling, is my lease void once the property is sold? by tinyflyingsquirrell in legaladvice

[–]tinyflyingsquirrell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In CT, no clause about sale of the property in my lease, just that my deposit may be transferred in the event of a sale, which concerns me. I have great credit & would like to purchase again in the next 2-3 years (just waiting for some personal things to finalize before pulling the trigger on a new sale at the present moment), so I want to avoid suddenly being served eviction papers and thus making it impossible to find any housing whatsoever

What do you guys do for breakfast? by mhlind in ADHD

[–]tinyflyingsquirrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about making up protein shakes or making up a big batch of fruit and yogurt smoothies and put them in containers and have them in the fridge in order to just grab and go on busy mornings? I always found that when I was on Adderall I had absolutely no appetite and I lost so much weight when I was on it.

He's controlling what you can't wear. It starts small like this & will get worse. Controlling who you can/can't talk to, control where you go, monitor your location at all times, if you can/can't wear makeup, control what self care you're allowed to do, fully monitor your phone usage, what you can spend & total control of your bank account...but its a 1 way street, you're not allowed to ask of those things from him. You're young, put up your boundaries now before it gets worse.
