the fact that doctors can just Recommend Weight Loss with no instructions beyond ‘eat healthier/less’ is actually insane to me, i lost weight on purpose ONCE and it took me like 6 years to recover a semi-normal relationship with food and hunger

#uhh #disordered eating cw #just in case #mumbling #like jfc i know i’m not the first to say it and my experience is relatively SO tame #but it STILL fucked with my head for YEARS #and most people don’t go nearly that long between weight loss attempts at all for basically their whole lives!!!!! #and we’re so blasé about it like yeah just eat less to lose weight #and so few people talk about the really weird shit that phase of my life taught me even though they seem like pretty universal things #like when you lose weight deliberately by denying yourself food you get COLD #you get cold and you get in your head and you get sad it’s like being less alive #the times i’ve lost weight/recomped on accident (by doing smth that makes me move more‚ getting better sleep etc) #it’s been WARM #burn hotter move freer feel happier #and also the way hunger feels when you’ve been denying yourself food for an extended time is NOT the same as baseline hunger #it’s actually kind of wild that we use the same word to describe both feelings like that shit is NOT the same #that shit is not ‘being really hungry’ it’s a fuckin. blood curse or some shit you feel straight up unhinged #and i should disclaim here i am not talking large amounts of weight #i’ve fluctuated over i think a 20lb range max since reaching close to my adult height and that’s a guesstimate #but even in my relatively unremarkable little experiences here the way deliberate weight loss fucked with my brain is absurd to me #i’m fine now have been for years but seriously thinking back on it the fact that this is routine medical advice. unreal

Weekly Fitness and Weight Loss Update 📝

Clothes are fitting looser!

I maintained my weight this week. Considering that I just stepped on the scale while having a raging period, I take it as a win. I was ready even to see the scale going up!

Not much to say about that, rather that I’m sticking with Intermittent Fasting and keeping an eye on the carbs while introducing whole complex carbs here and there.

As for clothing, that’s where I see a difference! So I’m definitely losing inches and my clothes are fitting looser. I’m wearing some of my old clothes more comfortably and confidently again. A gentle reminder that it’s not all about the number on the scale!

Fitness-wise, I keep on seeing improvements. I have more endurance during my walks (especially walking uphill) and I can hold tree poses with my foot resting on my inner thigh again. I can also hold a plank without modifying. I still modify whatever is needed and I know that there are some exercises that will always be more challenging for me due to my back surgeries and other factors. Everyone is different and I try to do my own best without comparing myself to others, which is honestly easier said than done!

Off to my morning yoga and daily nature walk now 🪷🍃

I'd be lying if I said I don't see any bodily changes, like even if I didn't lose any actual kgs, I know I've lost fat and recomped somehow

...but omg I feel like shit

I feel fat and i feel as though I've made no progress I'm very very meticulous about my calorie counting but I almost feel like I need to restrict more

now yes, this sounds super disordered, but my maintenance is sitting at about 1600, 1800 if I'm active (which isn't always guaranteed so I'd rather not take chances)

so yeah, to lose weight I actually need to be in a normal deficit that just happens to sound scary to people that don't understand the fact that I'm 5'1

my current plan of action is to keep eating 1200 and just casually make some form of activity part of my lifestyle

didn't realize how much fat i lost on my hips/waist since starting to work out until I put on a pair of looser pants today that i hadn't worn in a while and they almost fell off

#literally without the belt they fall off #they used to just sit low without the belt #i knew i had recomped bc i got weighed at the drs abt a month ago & i was the same as I have been w/ a visible change in muscle mass #but did NOT realize how much straighter my waist/hips have gotten even since then bc dysmorphia/dysphoria #e/d tumblr do NOT interact this is NOT for you #who knew that doing weighted exercises with your obliques would make you waistline less thin. oh wait. me. that's why i'm doing it lmfao #also it's good for my chronic hip/back issues #and it's nice to see the fat leave the spot i specifically don't want it. i'm OK with fat on my body i just don't like it there specificall #tw weightloss #not technically weight loss just abt weight redistribution #I want to eventually GAIN weight from muscle but don't want to be a gym rat so yk #and it's hard enough to eat normally as it is so yk. maybe some other time in my life #or maybe just v slowly over time #also i don't weigh myself so for all i know i have but most likely not #at least i don't think so? #anyway #i'm serious abt the e/d thing though stay away from my blog if you're posting abt that

I hope u guys liked the format on the blue razz roddy post cause citing tf wiki is the only way i can curtail my tangents. It's with the idea that im writing for an audience who DOESNT actually know tf. cause. i dont really have an interest for writting for one that does [-> my biased assumption for what that audience would be like] [the ACTUAL EXISTENCE of EITHER said audience is. mostly secondary]

ITS done in a real sense of. i spend a lot of time here (the wiki), now let me ALSO indicate i have A LOT OF GREVIANCES.

#some shit #its not called cisformers #WORKING ON THE POST. with soup simmering on the stove. and 4 seasons recomp as my timer #all i can say is be glad u have to speak to me irl some urls i just SAY. VERBALLY. out loud.

was talking to a friend this time last year about disordered eating and weight loss goals & going shopping together for some new clothes. Saw her a cpl times the past month and she looks amazing. Flat stomach, thin face, ribs and hips. Everything fits her perfectly. She followed through with what I wanted for myself while I drank to oblivion for pretty much 12 months and just gained 20 pounds.

Have got to get at least as thin as her

#kind of jealous kind of pissed off kind of love the motivation #just gotta not drink for 3-6 months. If I could manage 6 months - year even without restricting I'd be able to get back to my set point #which is slim #the weight will be grossly distributed tho. Will take a year or so to lose the liver swelling.Most of my fat is viscseral rather than #adipose :/ I think lipolysis on adipose happens faster than liver cells #so when I lose weight I will be skinny fat for a while #unless I lose loads #but even then I will justlook bloated for a year or so #maybe if I recomp /gain muscle I can cover it up? #but won't be able to g et a low bmi if building abs to cover gut swelling

Achieving Optimal Body Recomposition: Unveiling Its Benefits

In the realm of fitness and body transformation, the concept of body recomposition has gained considerable attention. Unlike the traditional approach of focusing solely on weight loss or muscle gain, body recomposition aims to strike a balance by simultaneously reducing body fat and building lean muscle mass. This holistic approach not only enhances physical appearance but also offers a myriad of benefits for overall health and well-being. In this post, we will delve into the world of body recomposition, exploring its benefits and why it may be an ideal strategy for those seeking optimal results.

Understanding Body Recomposition:

Body recomposition, often referred to as "recomp," entails altering body composition by decreasing body fat percentage while simultaneously increasing muscle mass. This is achieved through a combination of targeted resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, and appropriate nutrition. Recomp is different from traditional approaches, such as bulking and cutting cycles, which focus on separate phases of building muscle or losing fat. Instead, it aims to achieve a balanced physique with visible muscle definition and a healthy body fat range.

Benefits of Body Recomposition:

Improved Body Composition: The primary advantage of body recomposition is achieving a well-balanced body composition. By reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass, individuals can attain a leaner, more defined physique. This not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also contributes to improved body image and self-confidence.

Enhanced Metabolic Function: Body recomposition can have a positive impact on metabolic function. Building lean muscle mass contributes to an increase in basal metabolic rate (BMR), the number of calories your body burns at rest. As muscle tissue is metabolically active, having more muscle translates into a higher caloric expenditure throughout the day. This can aid in weight management and make it easier to maintain a healthy body weight in the long term.

Sustainable Weight Loss: Traditional weight loss approaches often involve restrictive diets and excessive caloric deficits, which can lead to muscle loss and a sluggish metabolism. Body recomposition focuses on building muscle while shedding fat, which helps to preserve muscle mass during weight loss. By retaining muscle, individuals can sustain a healthy weight in the long run and prevent the dreaded weight regain often associated with crash diets.

Increased Strength and Functional Fitness: Strength training is a fundamental component of body recomposition. As individuals engage in resistance exercises to build muscle, they simultaneously improve strength and overall physical performance. Increased strength not only enhances athletic performance but also aids in daily activities, making routine tasks easier and reducing the risk of injuries.

Health Benefits: Body recomposition is not solely about physical appearance; it also carries significant health benefits. Maintaining a healthy body fat percentage reduces the risk of obesity-related health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Additionally, increasing lean muscle mass contributes to improved bone density and joint health.

Long-Term Sustainability: Unlike extreme dieting or unsustainable exercise regimes, body recomposition promotes a balanced and sustainable approach to fitness. By incorporating resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, and a well-rounded nutrition plan, individuals can adopt a lifestyle that supports long-term health and well-being. Body recomposition is not a quick fix but rather a journey that fosters healthy habits and sustainable results.

So, embrace the power of body recomposition and embark on a transformative journey towards a stronger, fitter, and more confident version of yourself. The benefits of body recomposition extend beyond physical appearance, encompassing improved metabolic function, sustainable weight loss, increased strength, and numerous health advantages. By adopting a balanced approach that combines resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, and proper nutrition, you can achieve optimal body recomposition while nurturing lifelong healthy habits. Remember, body recomposition is a journey, and consistency, patience, and dedication are key. So, take the leap, prioritize your well-being, and unlock the remarkable benefits of body recomposition that will positively impact your life in the long run. Your body is capable of incredible transformation, and through body recomposition, you can unlock its full potential. Get ready to sculpt your physique, enhance your health, and embrace the amazing benefits that await you on this empowering fitness journey.

I love exercise. I ate 2,100 calories yesterday, including a steak for dinner, and I still had a deficit that was bigger than I planned lol. (Not that that’s the purpose of exercise of course.) I wanna get back to focusing on body recomp so only a 300-400 calorie deficit would be good, and I had a deficit of over 500 yesterday. Since I don’t want to lose muscle, I don’t always want to have that much of a deficit, but just one day is fine and it’s just funny to see considering how full I felt. And I didn’t even do any cardio to burn those calories, I just lifted weights and then was running around all day haha.

sorry i know this is late but happy birthday!! how was hadestown? i fell in love with the damon daunno/nabiyah be recording, but the broadway version has its own appeal 👀

AH thank you so much! <3

And as for Hadestown, you're actually early! We bought tickets for September and I am super pumped! We'll be seeing the tour and I can't wait! Before COVID my grandma had season tickets for our theatre. In 2018 I got to see Waitress, Anastasia, Fiddler on the Roof, and then Hamilton. (all shows I LOVE.) Since then I haven't been that excited for the shows that have come in but when I saw Hadestown I was like GOTTA DO IT.

I love the broadway recording but I also love the Daunno/Nabiyah as well <3

#replies #also how this came to be #we were all going to see bruce springsteen because the father is obsessed #he could only buy 2 tickets however #and i was bummed bc I actually like bruce and think he puts on a good show lol #so I told my parents #I NEED TO SEE HADESTOWN AS RECOMPENCE #and they were like ok cool #not giving up on bruce yet though lol
