what if we all reacted to weight loss the same way ppl act about weight gain

“are you…..doing okay?”

“oh wow did you lose weight? (judgmental)”

“I don’t think you’re eating right you look…..different”

and then when they’re like no I’m ~~dieting~~ you can just say “oh…okay.”

Have you ever try fasting

Nope, and I don't ever want to! Diets are a scam, starving is bad for you, pursuing weight loss doesn't work for most people anyway, etc. The science is very much not in favor of dieting let alone skipping food altogether

a change in heart?  local youtuber who has never shown interest in fat people now very vocal about (the dangers of) the body positivity movement

#doodle #diet tw #obvious disclaimer that no one should be shamed for how they look skinny or fat #hopefully you all can understand this is about a very specific type of phenomenon. thank you #also sorry for appropriating the down with cis joke. my excuse is that i thought it would be funny #also obvious disclaimer that i am from the USA so this is about these topics as they exist in the USA

between my parents telling me incessantly to lose weight and eat less (despite me telling them repeatedly to stop), and my sister going on a new year's calorie-restriction low fat/sodium etc. diet (with her boyfriend no less)... i am feeling incredibly triggered. i'm sick and i am so hungry but i feel guilty every time i eat.

whenever i haven't eaten a lot my dad tells me that's good. whenever i'm hungry and go for 2nds my dad tells me to stop. whenever i have a medical issue and need my parents' help, my dad refuses to help me and tears me apart, telling me i need to stop thinking about these things so much/letting my pain stop me and i just need to lose weight.

i just wanna shrivel up in a ball and cry. they really treat me like i'm just crazy and there's nothing physically wrong with me except for my weight and diet.

this doesn’t count as child abuse I guess, but my mom made me extremely conscious of my weight. She’d compare my weight to all of my friend’s weights, I remember getting on the scale and my mom (and their moms) making my friends also weigh themselves and have us compare each other. “Look at your friend, she’s so beautiful, thinner than you.” Always shamed for being 49 kg (108 lb) at the age of 12 (I was 5’4 at the time). I remember my mom comparing her own weight to mine (I was 12. My mom is 39 years older than me) and telling me how fat I was. I remember always scraping off the icing from slices of birthday cakes because my mom would always tell me how fattening they were and make other snide comments. “I see you’ve started eating the icing, don’t forget about your weight.” Shit like that. I remember having to drink 2 litres of water and be forced to eat salads every day before school because my mom didn’t want me to look like a glutton at school. She’d also do this whenever it was time to go to a family gathering so that I don’t “look like a homeless person finding food for the first time.”

Funny thing is, I was an athlete involved in many sports. Swimming, running, rugby, football (soccer), etc. I was also a theatre kid and a dancer. I was never just idle. And I was never the biggest, but even if I was, I don’t think I’d do all that to my kid.

Sorry for the vent. None of this was child abuse but it’s something that still affects me I guess.

That literally does count as a child abuse, anon. Shaming is abuse. Policing your eating like that is abuse. Your mother abused you over your weight.

“Our study results suggest that if you are 25, you’d have to eat even less and exercise more than those older, to prevent gaining weight,” Jennifer Kuk, a professor of kinesiology and health science at Toronto’s York University, said in a statement. “However, it also indicates there may be other specific changes contributing to the rise in obesity beyond just diet and exercise.”                    

Just what those other changes might be, though, are still a matter of hypothesis. In an interview, Kuk proffered three different factors that might be making harder for adults today to stay thin.                    

 First, people are exposed to more chemicals that might be weight-gain inducing. Pesticides, flame retardants, and the substances in food packaging might all be altering our hormonal processes and tweaking the way our bodies put on and maintain weight.                    

Second, the use of prescription drugs has risen dramatically since the ‘70s and ‘80s. Prozac, the first blockbuster SSRI, came out in 1988. Antidepressants are now one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the U.S., and many of them have been linked to weight gain.                    

Finally, Kuk and the other study authors think that the microbiomes of Americans might have somehow changed between the 1980s and now. It’s well known that some types of gut bacteria make a person more prone to weight gain and obesity. Americans are eating more meat than they were a few decades ago, and many animal products are treated with hormones and antibiotics in order to promote growth. All that meat might be changing gut bacteria in ways that are subtle, at first, but add up over time. Kuk believes the proliferation of artificial sweeteners could also be playing a role.                  

I also want to add that epigenetics plays a role. If your ancestors (recent or otherwise) overexercised and underate, the body assumes it is a type of starvation or famine and will affect how offspring metabolize food in future generations. Considering that genuinely healthy and nutrient dense foods like eggs and fats were demonized for decades, and women were shamed into being ridiculously underweight even while pregnant by their own doctors, it makes sense that people today will struggle to maintain a healthy weight even with appropriate diet and exercise. And that’s not even getting into how sedentary life became for school aged children.

At lunch with friends listening to all the slender college kids compare bodies and try to lose weight, watching the overweight fortysomethings and the two seventy-year-olds ignore all of it, being the only college kid who's visibly fat, listening to the others bicker right in front of me, realizing once again that looking like me is their worst nightmare, sorrowing all at once over how much every single person in this room hates their body but I love every one of them so much.

Knowing that my weight came when my family experienced trauma, left (slightly) with self-imposed hateful restrictions, which led to self-harm and to further trauma and weight gain in 8th grade, left again when I had one good year, then skyrocketed in 11th grade when I was assaulted, then went back down with a physical labor job, then came back with the pandemic and college, then went down with an active summer, then came back when I destroyed my ankle, then continued upward with college and pneumonia and the head injury and bronchitis and processing trauma, and went back down when I was too burned out to eat, then went back up with an awful job, then plateaued, then I spent a semester healing my soul and it came with 15 pounds that I swear were worth it, then went back down with physical labor and a vow to fix my relationship with food, then came back with college. And I was back on a downward trend until getting the flu a couple weeks ago and my weight didn't change because my period started and last night I was just exhausted and out of sorts and I binged for the first time in months. Consumed like 2,000 calories of garbage in an hour.

I know I need to take a day of rest. I feel guilty that all the other kids are doing schoolwork while I'm off taking a nap. Actually I'm up here crying, but they don't need to know that.

I know that even when my weight goes down, my shoulders don't get smaller. My hips will still be broad no matter what I do. I wear women's size 12 shoes. Even if I starve 60 pounds off my body and shave my mustache and my legs and start tucking my shirts in and dressing pretty and wearing makeup and wearing push-up bras and curling my hair, they won't accept me. I'll just be a success story to them.

And I'll be another success story for other fat people to beat themselves with.

The pain in my hand is through the roof tonight.

Still waiting on the reports from my MRI. Apparently despite neurology putting on the script to do a comparison with the 2019 MRI, radiology... didn't do that. I called radiology today and apparently it IS in their queue to do the comparison report. No ETA on when that will happen. It depends on how many stat cases they get so uuuuuuh the good news is I'm not stat the bad news is now I'm just waiting.

Tomorrow will be two weeks from when I had the scan done.

I am ok if it's bad news I just want to know. I hate waiting and not knowing.

I did peruse pubmed and pulled some meta-analysis of optimal nutrition for healing nerve damage and have incorporated some of that. I don't actually expect increasing my calcium and omega 3s to help, but yogurt with chia and flax seeds is at least a yummy breakfast (and lox twice a week because salmon is good) (and nuts are good) (salmon nuts berries and seeds) (eat like a bear for optimal nerve repair) (it rhymes even).

My dad likes to watch a lot of diet youtubers (using the roku youtube app so it's blaring across the living room at all hours), and I know no amount of talking it out is going to get him to change, so I made something to entertain myself if I'm gonna be forced to listen to it :')

I like sweets and i feel so gross i eat too many sweets i know i should lose weight but its like i have no control. I know this is a lie and i do have control but its such a craving and i just have no will to stop myself i am not overweight yet but at this point i will be. For days i stopped eating so much sweets then i "relapesed' and ate the whole chocolate and 3 donuts... i hate myself when i do this do you have any cravings and you have no will to stop? If yes do you have any advice? I think its the worst when i dont eat anything sweet a few days because after not eating sweets for 3-4 days i overeat on sweets. When i eat sweets every day in smaller amounts i eat less sweets and dont overeat. This kind of started when my mom died 3 years ago. I had 60kg back then now im 75 kg which feels me even grosser i dont hate fate people btw but i see what this does to my body when i walk i get tired more easily and im just more lazy in general because i get tired more quickly.

First of all, I don't believe in diet culture or applying any morality to the food you eat. I don't think being skinny is an important life goal, and even if it was, hating yourself and trying to restrict your food intake is scientifically proven to be unlikely to ever get you there, because your body's need for nutrients is very likely to keep overruling your willpower. So if you want to "improve" your eating habits, deciding to eat MORE fruits and vegetables or whatever is far more likely to improve your health than trying to eat LESS of anything else without replacing it with anything but hunger and denial. So I honestly think you need to look into intuitive eating and body positivity and switch up your whole attitude a whole lot

(edit: technically it's kinetic not active but u get it)

ok so turns out the "tummy hurts disease" is called "Hyperactive gallbladder" and the one (1) (only) solution is to remove our organs

....which i predicted months ago in SEPTEMBER when this started, telling our doctor "hey this seems gallbladder related"

but the doctor ignored me. and Seán (although we share a body so that's not a huge jump for him prolly). and our mom. and our grandmother, who is a retired doctor.

and we were forced to do like fifty unrelated tests and take medicine that didn't help. but now that we has like three relatives yell at him he tested our gallbladder and it's like 14 points pasts the "this is too high" mark. SIGH.

(more ranting under cut)

plus since under-active gallbladders are more common than overactive and were researched sooner, not all doctors know about them depending on when they finished school, so depending on his response we might have to email him all the studies n shit and yell at him AGAIN, so bigger sighhhh.

girl i can't eat more than 3 grams of fat without experiencing indescribable pain that renders me immobile for hours what the fuck why is this such an ordeal I just want us to be BETTERRRRRR

on top of all that, once we remove it we'll still have to eat under 3 g for a whille, and then slowly work our way up, and if we fuck up even a little bit and up the ammount too soon we risk ruining the entire healing process forever, so wether our body learns how to digest fat without this organ depends entirely on: 1- my patience and impulse control (NOTORIOUSLY HORRIBLE, Seán's is good but mine is dangerously low) *

2- our collective ability to understand when to know it's okay to eat more, considering we'll be given a rough schedule but everyone's body is different so there's no guarantee it'll be late enough if we just eat in the blocks given.

*- bonus- how often people tempt us or go "oh well maybe it's okay...you should really give it a shot haha,,, why not," which has already gotten us food related pain like three times because someone went "this can't have THAT much fat right?" and encouraged us to eat when we initially said no and then I gave in (because. no self control and also this was before we found out the exact gram ammount) and it hurt really bad
