I'm a fat anon, usually 20-30 lbs overweight and I know it's because I eat poorly.
I know how to eat healthy and what to avoid, I have done tons of research. I just have a hard time implementing it. I can eat well for months, drop the weight, and feel amazing, but I end up falling off the wagon, so to speak, and it turns to shit. I feel like I have a real addiction to food. Any anons beat that feeling? It's not hard for me to put the fork down for a while, but it's really hard to maintain it.
In my formative years (latter half of middle school and beginning of high school) I was anorexic, I got down to about 100 pounds before my parents intervened. I haven't had a healthy relationship with food since then. My parents' method of forcing me to gain weight was to eat a lot of junk food and prepackaged meals and I think that's when I began to get addicted to sugar and such.
Another side effect is that now I have trouble counting calories simply because I sometimes get sort of obsessive and sad when I don't "beat my score," or eat fewer calories than allotted, and it ends in a freak out and binge almost always.
pls help.

>>135453It's really not though. For single people it's affordable to eat healthy but for families it gets tougher. And the main problem that we have (in America) is that a lot of people, single or no, don't understand what healthy is or simply are raised addicted to unhealthy foods.
You can buy a box of pasta, can of pasta sauce, a block of cheese, and a couple pounds of ground pork at the store for under $10 and feed a family of 4. You can switch it out for ground chicken and whole wheat pasta but then you're adding on a few extra dollars. When pennies matter to you, you won't splurge on the healthier option because it might mean you don't get to eat one day. Ramen noodles? White bread? Jumbo bags of sugary cereal? And when you go to the store, what do you see buy one get one free? Lays potato chips, crackers… Coke products are almost always buy 1 get 1 free or something like that at gas stations. Soda fountains are cheap and yeah they have water but if you're paying a dollar, may as well get soda.
Shit like that. Not to mention if you have kids, their school-provided lunch is pizza, burgers, fried chicken, and things like that. When your kid gets home and he's been eating those things, do you think he's going to want to eat a sensible spinach salad and grilled chicken? Will he even like vegetables that aren't loaded up with sodium or fried? And once you grow up and you've been eating pizza/burgers/fries for lunch every day of your life, what are you going to want to eat as an adult?
Even not on the poor end of the spectrum, people are just uninformed. It seems like the fattest of families (in America anyway) simply don't understand what healthy food is. In my life I have talked to people who thought that peeling the skin off of fried chicken is the same as grilled chicken, or the light-colored soda has fewer/no calories than dark soda. A lot of people eat "low fat" versions of junk food and those who are educated (or at least think to read the ingredients) know that "low fat" = "extra sugar." People think "organic" = "low calorie." They just simply don't understand and unfortunately companies make bank taking advantage of those people.
I got really rambly, sorry.

>>135452Hey anon, I'm also fat but I've lost nearly 30lbs. I'm not on a specific "diet", I just eat all the things I used to, but less of it. So instead of eating a whole candy bar, I'll have 2 of those mini-bars. Instead of loading my coffee with sugar, I got a zero calorie sweetener. Instead of getting full-fat condiments and whatnot I bought the low fat ones. I've found that trying to go cold turkey leads me to fail and binge-eat every time, so maybe just take baby steps with your eating habits.
My second piece of advice would be to find an exercise that you don't mind doing. I 100% legit hate exercise, but luckily I found hula hooping! It doesn't burn calories at the same rate as intense cardio like jumping rope or running, but if I hoop while watching a 3 hour movie that's like over 1000 cals burned for me. I never have an excuse not to do it because I never have to leave the house to get it done. Maybe it's something you could try!

Hi there,
Well I'm currently on a fad diet at the moment due to my aunt's wedding in a few months. It's the cabbage soup diet, I was on it during high school because I was a big girl and I lost four dress sizes.
Morning - fruit smoothie (can be any smoothie and tons of recipies on the internet, green are usually the best!)
lunch - brown pasta, salad, no dressing and maybe a little bit of meat or tofu
dinner - cabbage soup (cabbage, tinned tomatoes, lentils, some stock, bit of pepper, mushrooms, green beans, carrots) with a little bit of brean bread
snacks - greek yogurt and some strawberries
And on weekends I would treat myself, not over the top but have maybe say pizza or bit of cake.
Kept doing this for WEEKS and weight sheds off but you need to be moving around as well like running, keeping busy, gym or whatever
Just eat healthily basically, don't go off scale :)

>>135460I've heard of this, always good things. I'd like to try this! (I love soup/stews/etc.)
Currently I'm drinking low-sodium broths whenever I feel hungry. Maybe 1 solid meal or snack a day. Apparently it's something they suggest/request before you get some kind of surgery, because it doesn't leave any residue in the intestinal tract and is very low calorie (5-25cal/8oz). It actually does help.
I lost a shitton of weight when I was in college by eating once a day (egg salad sandwich on rye, maybe a fruit or cranberry juice or romaine lettuce), taking diet pills, and taking my bike around campus. It was delicious and produced results.
Since I usually don't have the money to drive anywhere, and I have anxiety about leaving my apartment alone, I usually play Dance Central or run in place a few times a week. I think I'll get back into doing crunches every day too.
I've always been a sucker for sweets, though. My only real weakness.

Any anons beat that feeling?I know this feel well except I don't last nearly as long anymore. I was almost 100 pounds overweight at one point and as soon as I was just 20lbs from my goal weight I shot right back up.
Now I'll eat healthy and stay motivated for a week. I'll eat chia seeds, fruit, extra veggies, tofu, lean meats and stay away from the cake, cookies and ramen noodles. Then just as my week is up and I notice my clothes are fitting better I binge for days and gain all that weight back and more. I'll feel great, confident, notice my face isn't nearly as bloated and then transition back to being self-conscious, bloated and wishing I didn't eat all that shit.
I'll tell myself I can have a bowl of ramen or some cake as a treat, but I end up having half a cake, three packages of fried ramen and then binge on other shitty foods, promising myself I'll do better the next day. I don't. Now I'm starting to eat healthy again and I'm afraid of repeating this pattern. It happens every time.

So maybe one of you girls can help me. I'm a recovered ED-NOS gal going on about five years nowish and obviously, I've gained weight (like ED sufferers often do) I'm up to 170 and I feel horrible. I don't miss being horribly underweight, obviously, but I do miss being cute and skinny and I don't feel desirable at all the way I am now.
I'm currently following a protein high, low carb diet doing a smooth protein in the morning, yoghurt for a snack, straight up protein shake for lunch with a bit of chicken or tuna and then a regular sort of dinner that is usually sweet potato, veg and a protein.
I feel like this is a good diet, if a bit repetitive at times and I run for 50 mins in the evening when I get home. But I've been doing this for the past 4 weeks and I don't feel like I've lost anything…
I don't have a scale anymore due to…well, past problems, so I judge things based on my clothes due to having a rather large selection of sizes (due to weight gain)
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if my years of ED have fucked me up forever when it comes to loosing weight. I'm so desperate that at this point I'm thinking of saving up for plastic surgery to get lipo. I just don't know what to do.
No. 135475
>>135474Be careful with high protein, if there aren't any carbs in your diet your body can turn extra protein into glucose. That's why most low carb diets are high in fat. Without sugar it's difficult for your body to store it.
Maybe look into intermittent fasting. I stalled for months while low carbing and calorie counting. I finally went to one meal a day a few days a week with a couple regular days, and the weight started melting off. Although this may not be an option if you're recovering from an ED.
No. 135479
>>135477No offense, but I feel like you know better. You're skipping out on meals, and I'm sure the yogurt doesn't have that many calories in it.
Losing weight is easy as long as you burn more calories than you consume, but you still need to consume enough to maintain proper nutrition, and certain foods fill you up better than others. Yogurt doesn't have enough nutritional value to keep you healthy.
When I first started my ed, I would eat similarly to you and my hair became so disgusting, same thing with my nails and skin. It'll do you no favors in the long run.
No. 135480
>>135479I agree with this completely.
>>135477Anon, if you want to lose weight the healthy way and not have your hair and skin be casualties to your weight loss, make sure you ALWAYS eat a full lunch and dinner.
Eat the yogurt WITH whole grain cereal. Aim for full fat rather than low fat unless you can't find full fat…low fat= high sugar. As for whole grain cereal, what kind is it? Better be something like oatmeal or high-fiber cereal. Ditch the chocolate unless you need to sate a craving (I like to keep mini dark chocolate chips in a cupboard for this), always go for fruit and only use honey or agave if you feel you need it.
Lunch, eat vegetables with hummus if you can't bear to eat a lot. Maybe a salad with nuts on it and a vinegar/oil based dressing. Some people just don't get hungry at lunch.
Kill the glazed nuts. Either eat them roasted or raw with no sweetener. You should only be eating a handful a day at most (assuming you don't have huge hands).
Go ahead and throw some sprouts, tomatoes, whatever kind of veg you like into the pita. Make sure the pita is whole wheat.
You are eating nuts AND yogurt AND hummus and many sugary foods, but very few fruits and veggies, you need to flip that ratio around. I take it you don't eat meat, which is fine, but treat dairy and hummus and nuts like you would treat meat and not eat a ton of it.
Without knowing how much you weigh/if you are female or male, it's hard to tell you what exactly to eat. If you are a female 150 lbs and doing very moderate exercise you should probably aim for 400 calories max per meal (can spread the calories around to other meals) and 200 calories in snacks, a total of 1400 calories.
No. 135482
>>135481you binge 3000 calories every night?? You'd be gaining 6 lbs a week that dancing for 30 mins wouldn't really make up for
everything you're eating seems fine, I'd add more vegetables, like a salad or green juice every day (kale, spinach, apples, ginger, mint and cucumbers is a good way to start the day after drinking two glasses of room temp water with lemon in it)

Currently trying to stay under 1000 calories a day and I've been doing it successfully. I am 5'1" and 110 pounds and i am not losing any weight. My typical meal plan looks like this:
Breakfast:
>Special K flatbread vegetable sandwich (180 calories… I used to make smoothies every morning but now I get up at 5.00 AM every morning before there are even lights out and its just too depressing to function)Lunch:
>Grilled chicken breast from the night before (210 calories - I weigh it out in a portion), some baby spinach leaves and half a chopped tomato with a shit load of lemon squeezed over it (around 50-60 calories)Dinner:
>Grilled chicken breast (210 calories) and a grilled red pepper (around 50 cal)Snacks:
> A banana mid-afternoon (100-110 calories)>Two 150g granny smith apples baked with stevia and cinnamon (180 calories)Most days I don't even have a snack anyway.
I only drink water and diet coke (coffee makes me constipated).
I've been eating like this for 3 months. I'm so bored and I'm pretty sure all of this is exactly 1000 or most days under. I restricted a lot when I was younger and between ages 13-17 I practically ate only under 500 calories a day and was really underweight, so I'm wondering if that killed my metabolism? I just want to be 95 lbs again but I feel like its never going to happen fuck
No. 135490
>>135486How much water do you drink? I drink around 3L everyday and do yoga daily with strength training every three days.
Try cutting out soda pop all together. Unless it's like Sierra Mist. I find that to be the only tolerable drink for me now.
If you want to jumpstart your metabolism, try replacing your apples with almonds and adding in green tea(home brewed). B12 also helps as well.
Hopefully something helps.

>>135486damn… i'm also 5'1". my weight fluctuates between 98lbs and 120lbs (a lot, i know) within a year. it's been like this for 5 years now. honestly, i always lose weight when i stop counting calories. i just eat healthy things (like you seem to be) within a good time frame. i've lost weight with and without exercise. in fact, aside from my initial jump, which was 93lbs to 120lbs and due to alcohol, it's always been a spike in exercise that causes me to overeat and gain weight.
also, if you're exercising, especially when muscle can be built, stop looking at the scale. if you want to look at some numbers, measure your waist in the morning or something.
i've dropped from 118lbs to 103lbs in the past six months from lifting and also intermittent fasting with healthy foods. i eat my cheat meals 2x a week. cheat meals are pretty much necessary, imho.

>>135491Last october I was around 99 lbs t (about 45kg) oo, I was pregnant (got an abortion after 3months) and I gained like 110 and i suspect it fucked my metabolism because I wouldn't eat anything but I was putting on a lot of weight.. and my hair started falling out recently. So i really need to go to a doctor but all the doctors say my hormone levels are fine. My mom is legit hypothyroiditic so its scares me. What I eat now, is to maintain my weight because I know if I eat even a bit over 1000 I will start gaining.
My waist has always been around 25 inches unfortunately. Even at my leanest. It's so not fair. I lose weight from only my thighs an ass it seems. I have an inverted triangle body so i have to work out in order to maintain muscle on my bottom half. My bottom half has gotten bigger though.
I don't eat cheat meals regularly but sometimes i will substitute certain ingredients with more higher cal ones, like once every 2 weeks i'll have a homemade breakfast sandwich with turkey sausage which will be around 100 calories more. but in general i hate food and only eat to avoid getting headaches so idk. i also have a lot of food allergies like milk and mushrooms give me stomach pains.

So I recently had a revelation that my strenuous workouts have been fucking up my diet (I'm a genius, I know). It made me extremely, voraciously hungry for DAYS after. Even when I ate up to my maintenance calories and made sure I had enough protein, I would always end up binge eating and set myself back. Now I only do a moderate 30 minutes and it's much easier to stick to my diet. I no longer feel hungry.
Of course the rate at which I lose weight will be a bit slower and I'm so impatient. The hardest part about dieting is the damn waiting, for sure.

Fruits and vegetables are both great for you but fruit is more calorie dense. So theoretically yea you can binge on fruit. Or put another way, You will meet your daily calories faster with fruit than vegetables. Depends the fruit though - some have less fiber and more sugar.

Also if you want to lean out your lower body you should do a combination of weight and cardio work outs while keeping calorie intake at maintenance or only slightly above, so you won't end up builking your legs up.

No. 135750
>>135749Okay, I had a lot of anxiety surrounding food growing up. It got to a point where the only food I could eat without feeling like I was poisoning my body was carrots and oatmeal. I've gone to therapy for it for a long time to resolve those issues, but I still have trouble with some foods. I know that this anxiety isn't based in logic. But it's very easy to avoid meat, a huge
trigger for me. I understand this is "stupid". I know that I would not get food poisoning if I cooked the meat properly. Most meals I eat are cooked/prepared in some fashion. I avoided talking about this because its wasn't relevant. I add in some meat in the time before my period because it prevents mild anemia I experience. But I calculate the amount of nutrients and such I get each day, and I most always meet the marks. I've learned some dishes to disguise the texture of meat, but dealing with the raw meat before cooking/baking/boiling really grosses me out. If you have any advice to dealing with this without calling it immature, I would gladly take it. Also, in my original post I said I was craving salt, but I am meeting my goals for salt intake. Is there anything I can beat those cravings with?
No. 135752
>>135750do you drink a lot of fluids? many people with food anxiety drink a lot as a way to avoid eating, if you do- the 'recommended' salt intake will not be enough for you as you are essentially flushing out electrolytes. either up your salt intake if this applies to you or try drinking less.

ultimately it depends on things like: how good is your japanese? unless you are able to clearly explain your dietary restrictions or read labels you're going to have a hard time.
in my experience a lot of japanese thought 'vegetarian' meant 'no meat' so they would try and serve you fish thinking it was okay.
in all honesty i would consider just going pescetarian for your experience there. it's different from the beef/pork/chicken industry…

No. 135775

This isn't a case of "Oh well my body will just brake them down. The molecules are TOO BIG to be absorbed and distributed to the skin. Your body can distribute various other building block components necessary for CREATING collagen, but they will not magically force whole collagen up into your skin. You are wasting your money Anon.

No. 135808
>>135807It sounds like maybe you're in a dorm or student apartment type situation, that can definitely make eating healthy hard. Not having a place to refrigerate or freeze much food makes preparing a ton of meals at once not really possible.
Eating out my be your only option for healthy and very easy / quick (depends if there are any healthy restaurants near you, of course). Obviously that gets expensive quickly.
There are some cheap shelf stable, healthy foods you can keep on hand, provided you can heat things up. eg, tofu, canned black beans, rice. It's not exactly incredible taste wise, but it works pretty well with some spices or a good sauce.
Also dry roasted almonds (or any nuts, really) are a great convenient snack. Those were my go-tos when I could only use a mini fridge.
If I were you, I'd use whatever limited fridge space I have to store protein sources (if you eat meat or dairy) and some veg. Then you could add that to beans and/or rice to get a well rounded meal.
No. 135809
>>135808Different anon but I have the student dorm situation. My uni has some healthy food but it's expensive as hell. Our meal plans limit the amount we can spend per meal as well as when we do it so that just made it even harder. A small sald would be 5 or 6 dollars and a healthy sandwich which was even smaller would be about the same. I could get way more junk food for the same price and still have money left to buy some stuff.
>>135807 To you and to anyone trying to eat a healthy diet while living the dorm life or just broke uni life in general, I recommend getting a small fridge for your dorm if you can. If you have family that is willing to send you food or send you back with some after visiting, have them give you fruit or something.
If you have a job or something on the side try hunting for sales and whatnot at your local stores if your able to. Surely you'll be able to find some type of healthy foods at a reduced price. I eat lots of inexpensive fruit cups, primarily peaches. Soups are also a good option such as Progresso soups. Where I live generally has them cheap so I live off tons of those as well so maybe they might in your area as well.

>>135814Laxatives don't magically prevent your body from absorbing calories from food. Yes, you might lose a few pounds on the scale, but it's only because they eliminate water and food – as soon as you stop taking them, you'll be back to normal.
Your body can become dependent on them and you won't be able to "go" without them if you take them too often. Basically, once in a while if you're genuinely constipated is fine, but if you make them a habit (once a day is WAY too frequent, wtf?), you'll fuck yourself up.

I put some water into it but I've recently found out that putting some apple sauce (even just a few spoonfuls) really sweetens it up and makes it tastier. You will have to try some to find out which formulas you like most by once you find the perfect recipe you'll want a bunch.

I have a dilemma for you all that maybe you can help with, though I feel it may be to late for me now.. I want to start eating healthy, in fact sometimes I crave a salad, something leafy and green, but I hate it. I hate every vegetable, raw. I hate lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, raw celery, carrots, raw broccoli, raw cauliflower, even avocado. I have tried seemingly every last vegetable I can think of, with various condiments, and I hate them all. I enjoy cooked carrots, kale, and celery, like in a soup/stew, or steamed broccoli and cauliflower with a bit of salt. But, I'm not sure if thats really enough to keep me healthy. I'm trying to take control of my weight, because its getting really bad, and I work out, but its like I just can't eat anything good for me. I frequently say I would be a vegetarian or even a vegan if I didn't hate how most of it tastes, because its not like a bit of discomfort, I literally will gag and I can't swallow it. I don't know what to do, do you think I should see some kind of nutritionist or some other thing like that? Somebody help me, please!!

Lunch I have whatever thing of fruit and whatever I can find in my house, for dinner it changes but its typically unhealthy.. :/ I snack a lot in between too. I eat way more than I should which I'm trying to deal with.

If you're eating a lot of stuff like granola bars and junky foods without anything healthy, of course it will taste bad to you. Maybe you could try blending up fruits in a smoothly, and slowly adding veggies.
or maybe green smoothies with less and less sugar.
You could start by adding green grapes and green apples with a small amount of either brown or cane sugar and something like celery or spinach. Once you get used to the way it tastes, take away some sugar until you can drink it without any.

If you have a food allergy or intolerance, that can also manifest as reflux.
I'm not aware of protein specifically worsening reflux, but it will slow gastric emptying (compared to carbohydrates).

You're right about how a lot of skinny people do get by on tiny amounts of unhealthy food, but it's not the right advice for anon.
>>183241In regards to what anon says, think of it like Venus vs Taylor, I guess. Both are thin but one eats very controlled and clean (and exercises) whilst the other eats like shit but has ED habits to balance it out. Both can work, but the bad option fucks up your skin and is overall bad for your health. Sorry to say but your mother should have just shown you how to eat rather than just telling you to copy thin people.
The most important thing is portion control, which sucks at first but you will adjust to it. The bulk of anything you eat should be fruit, veg or protein. Instead of have a little bit of salad on the side, it should be a little bit of carbs. Eat clean, so avoid overly processed foods (chips, twinkies, anything with over 40 ingredients) or fried foods. If you're hungry it's ok to snack, but you can't just sit with a giant bag of chips, you need to think about what your body is actually craving and drink a big glass of water too just in case.
Also no fucking soda ever, not even sugar free, only water or tea with no sugar.
When I think of what fat people eat, it's usually gross things that don't resemble genuine food, like cheap snacks or instant/fast food. They barely ever eat green vegetables and they glug down energy drinks. They think they're eating healthy because they made a meal, but the unhealthy sauce came from a jar and they cover it in cheese.

Has anyone tried food picture diaries?
My diet is still pretty bad and undisciplined and calorie counting hasn't really helped me before. I feel like I can stick with this, though. I just take a moment to picture something before I eat it and i find myself always wanting to go for something colorful, appetizing and in small portions just because it looks less disgusting than the garbage I usually eat.
I'm trying to cut a lot over a few days just to get accustomed to eating less trash and in general and will try to focus on making balanced meals in good portions following.
The bitterness of green tea whenever I get a craving has helped a lot because I LOVE sugary sweet things. I could eat cookies, macarons and such for a days until I got too sick of it. Green tea or any tea that isn't sweet has kind of helped kick the craving and if I'm out or anything, I'll try to drink more water, eat fruit or add honey to something.
I also think breads and pasta are a bit of an issue for me, too. I've been opting for whole/multi grain breads and brown rice/pasta and it doesn't leave that sweet taste in your mouth like simple carbs do. Eating more complex carbs don't seem to encourage my sweet tooth and overeating the way that simple ones do and the fiber keeps everything moving along, as well.
Hope I actually lose something this time.

okay, time to start my rant:
I've lost 24lbs (11kg) in 2 months, but my weight hasn't changed not even a bit the last couple weeks. First, because I binged. I got back on track pretty fast but then I got my period (today is probably the last day) and I think that's the main reason why I'm not losing. At least that's what I hope. I'M LOSING MY FUCKING MIND. I don't think I'm on a real plateau. I still need to lose, at least, more 24lbs imo. seriously, im feeling so lost. i think im going to start exercising – i did do some cardio in the beginning because i had more free time, but i eventually stopped because i had to go back to uni and my shitty daily life. Now that I'm not losing, I really see no other option but to force myself to make time. maybe exercise in my own room watching youtube videos or something like that. i kept losing weight while i wasn't doing anything but dieting btw.
Everyone has noticed my weight loss and that makes me super pumped and i feel so much better physically. i still hate my body but heck, i feel better anyway.
i've also noticed that whenever i have dairy, even if im not cheating and staying under my caloric limit for the day, I tend not to lose any weight. maybe im crazy, but that's what ive noticed. anyone going through the same or something similar?

If you drink no calories and keep your meals to around 300 calories each you've got room to snack on nuts, fruits, a bar of chocolate, or a small frappe, pretty much whatever. You'll still lose weight.

Two bananas
Three large teaspoons of cocoa powder
Two glasses of skim milk
Two bagels
Copious amounts of cream cheese
I just binged ^^^. I am an emotional eater. I've had serious problems with overeating since childhood and that led me to a terrible weight gain. I've lost weight though I'm nowhere near as normal or skinny yet.
I don't binge as much as i used to. It only happens when I'm very stressed out, or sad.
Well, until three or four hours ago, I was on campus, and received a really bad news. These are my final months as an academic student so I've been feeling super burnened with uni related stuff and money issues. Until that point I had eaten normally throughout the day (I'm calorie counting). But getting that news drove me straight to the fridge and I started stuffing my face with food, even things that weren't mine, like the two bagels. Things I didn't even like, like bananas and milk.
Now I feel like total shit.
My belly is about to explode to the point it hurts, probably because I had all that food in less than 1h, and I'm sitting on the floor crying. I just needed to vent. I was doing so great. I really hate being fat and not having control over my fucking emotions. I'm not going to give up though, tomorrow's a new day and I'll fix this shit right away but right now I just want to die. I know I'll want to weight myself first thing in the morning tomorrow, but I won't otherwise I'll just feel even more shitty.
I've had around 2,300 calories today when I normally have 1,000-1,100.
Should I just go back to dieting normally tomorrow? Should I have anything? Help. I took a couple sleeping pills because I don't want to stay awake anymore today. Yes, I'm being dramatic, maybe I seem overdramatic, but I feel destroyed, sick and like a failure. I just want to be at a normal weight for once. I'm 5 feet 1 and I weigh 187lbs at the moment.

we're around the same height/weight and i have the same issue as you. i'm an emotional eater, and i really just figured it out this semester. it's my last semester as well, and things have been fucking tough, and they still are, so i've been trying (and failing) not to eat my feelings.
what helps me is keeping mints and gum in my room, purse, etc. i generally eat two or three mints or have a stick of gum and then some water, if i know i've had all my calories for the day. i also, like you, will eat things i don't even like, just to eat something. i've been eating like shit since last week, binged over the weekend, and i'm trying to get back on track starting tomorrow.
hang in there, anon, we're gonna make it. just go back to eating normally, and consider this a tiny mistake. another thing that helps me is telling myself "no" out loud if i feel like i want to binge. because it's also an emotional thing, i also generally try to talk myself through the feelings i'm having. it only works if i say it out loud though.

>>183426Speaking as an anon that's had anorexia, and is now super comfortable at my natural weight, which is 5'9 and 135lb, I would advise you to stop trying to diet. Dieting legit made me fatter and sadder and more obsessed with my body. I love my body now and feel super hot and comfy with my weight (although of course we all have our moments). Get some self esteem and stop treating your body like shit and eating your emotions. eat yummy healthy foods, get laid and do exercise you want to do. Also get a hobby. You'll realise how pointless it all was when you grow out of it, you'll see.
HAES is bullshit but intuitive eating, done with common sense, will work. You'll eat a shit ton to start because of a diet cycle but then you'll regulate. It's taken me years to finally allow myself to not trash my body. It really comes down to a self esteem thing I think. I used to eat upwards of 9000 calories a sitting and not purge and I used to have a BMI of around 15 and those two things happened around the same period. Counting calories is
triggering as fuck for me so I just eat very carefully instead. Find what works for you. This obviously isn't.

>>183432Thank you for you advice. Honestly I wish I could just follow and be happy but I can't. I know well I'm obsessed with food and that I have some kind of ednos or something. I was obviously never anorexic since I am fat and have always been, but I did use to purge on occasion for the most part of my life. Counting calories seems obsessive but it's the only way I know I won't stuff my face with everything I see. Sometimes in the past I remember making myself throw up not because I was worried about weight gain but because I literally thought my stomach would explode because it hurt SO MUCH. I can literally eat everything in the fridge. I don't understand my problem but dieting and exercising moderately have helped me lose 20lbs and I don't want to stop now because I just can't look at myself or feel my body without feeling absolutely disgusting.

I want to bring quick foods that I don't necessarily have to heat up; something like granola bars, sliced fruit, etc. I don't know though because I've never had to pack my own lunch before. Any ideas?

>>183426I just wanna thank everyone who responded that day when I was feeling like shit and crying. I'm losing weight again and eating a slightly higher amount of calories per day as someone suggested. I also talked about my binge eating problem with my psych this Monday. I mean, he's been my doctor for a quite a while, about a year and a half, and he met me when I was 209lbs (I'm 5 feet 1 lol…) so he did know I had fucking issues with food/struggle with binge eating, but this was the first time I REALLY discussed it with him. I also think I packed some weight from lithium, which i used to take in the past. Anyways…
Somehow posting here and finally writing about it to other people (even if a bunch of anons) gave me what i needed to do something about it IRL besides dieting and exercising. I've lost a nice amount of weight in 2 months and a week, but I still have like, 28lbs or a little more to go. I'm not a fatty-chan inside, especially not the typical lazy ass, and it fucking sucks that this is who i've become, but my fatty-chan days are numbered.
I know i might binge some other day, unfortunately, but things have been under control for a while and losing 26lbs in a healthy way has helped me so much.
I see other anons here who don't have to lose that much weight: good luck. and if your situation is similar to mine, weight-wise or anything like that, good luck too.
Just wishing everyone the best, really.

Are you tracking every single calorie accurately? Most overweight people showed a tendency to underestimate their intake and overestimate their burned calories.

There people in the group with me kind of annoy me. They're only losing weight because they're a lot heavier than me and they used to eat takeaways every night, white bread, fizzy drinks, ridiculous amounts of chocolate…like ofc you're going to lose once you give those up.
No. 184034
>>184033Straight up the fact that they are heavier than you will influence the rates of weight loss.

I think it was the group of girls I hung out with, they were very insecure group. I use to try to temp them with food because I'd be worried for my best friend. She wouldn't eat for almost 2 days at a time. She was never fat, but her build wouldn't allow her to ever be small. I wouldn't say I'm scared to eat, I make sure to have a cheat day where I just don't worry about overthinking calories. I mean within reason lol.
I think the funniest thing is I always wanted to put on weight when I was younger as I was teased a lot for being too thin. I took up the habit of eating really quickly so I wouldn't get full before I finished my plate. Ahh, that has come back to bite me on the ass.
No. 184666
>>184665Try not to worry about stretch marks too much. Just about everyone has them from growing, weight gains, or pregnancies. Super normal to have them.
Your friend from school definitely sounds like she was eating disordered in some way. It's a weird place to be in when you're desperate to eat but too afraid of what it would mean.
Naturally small eaters do apparently usually eat slowly, but you can eat a whole fuckload of spinach, lettuces, cabbage, etc etc before it will effect your weight and it's also really filling for a long time. If you've got a big appetite it might be easier to consume larger portions of lower calorie foods than try to eat less and feeling hungry the majority of the day.
Either way, hope it all works out for you

Now for the part I haven't researched but I've been told by a med student I trust is that in general we don't need to hit those 100% dv marks for vitamins so sometimes a kids multivitamin can be a good choice since they generally have lower %'s

Trying to get my life back on track after a depression which made me get to 160lbs. Started a diet last month and im down to 156lbs, and to me that doesn't seem like alot… I've started going to a gym about two weeks ago so I'll hopefully be seeing results quicker but I wonder if I'm on the right track or if I'm doing something wrong with my diet?
I'm doing mostly low carb. I only eat white meat, salads dressed only with olive oil, salt and balsamic vinegar, eggs either boiled, fried or scrambled, tomatoes, carrots, fruit, white bread veeery rarely (although i know I shouldnt eat it at all), basmati rice, and no pasta.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
I admit I do slip up more often than I'd like on the weekends. And I have a terrible habit of only eating one or two meals a day (my sleeping patterns are still terrible).
I have also a lot of intestinal problems my whole life as in I can go two full weeks without taking a shit once. What type of foods can help me with that?

I binged for 3 fucking days and now I feel horrible and bloated. Not to mention disappointed and miserable.
I'm so afraid of stepping on the scale. My best friend told me to fast tomorrow, not because that will make me lose weight, but because it will make me get back on control(?).
Anyone can help me, please? What should I do?
I've been on a low carb diet and I've lost over 10kg. I wanna keep losing weight, sigh… I feel really destroyed right now. FML.

>>184959Don't fast, anon. That'll only make you feel more inclined to overeat or binge again. Seriously, trust me on that, as someone who has BED.
The best and healthiest thing to do is accept that you binged and work on making the rest of the day/tomorrow/week better and possibly figuring out why you binged in the first place and then finding ways to deal with it. Also, drink lots of water and coffee to get rid of the excess water weight and stick your normal diet. You'll feel better in a few days.

Eggs are good if you're on a strict budget, and beans/rice are a complete protein and shouldn't be too bad for you if you keep the fat in it down. Almond milk is delicious and fairly filling, and you could try protein mixes. Nuts are good too, besides peanut butter.
It's fine to eat fats, just sparingly, same with carbs. The Mediterranean diet is generally seen as incredibly healthy, but maybe not to lose weight, and I've heard the same with Japanese food, especially because of how they do portion sizing better than Americans in particular. If you can afford fish, that would be a great choice for diet food, as is chicken, and have some veggies.

Slim fast works by creating a calorie deficit. You can do that without wasting money on the gross trash that fad diets peddle and just eat say, 500 fewer calories than your tdee everyday and lose weight eating whatever you wanted within that limit.
Ignore any and all advice coming from people who aren't thin themselves, people who say it's impossible or you will gain it back no matter what you do, and people who say dieting is 'a toxic culture invented by Le patriarchy'. They're all wrong.
Learn your tdee, eat less than it to lose weight.
No. 185665
>>185663You'd go into starvation mode once you'd depleted your fat reservoirs and were concentration camp or famine levels of malnourished. A few weeks or even months of dieting won't do you any harm.
If we were as bad at surviving through hunger as modern society says we would never have survived as a species.
The reality is, after generations of superabundance people have lost sight of what food is for, and use it as a primary source of pleasure instead of source of energy and nutrients. There are people who literally do not know what it is like to feel hungry. There are people who are unable to do a 12-24 hour fast before surgery despite the fact that we are designed to withstand weeks of minimal sustenance and days of fasting.
1 pound of fat takes 3500 excess calories. If you eat 500 calories less than what you burn every day, in seven days you will have created a deficit of 3500 calories and lost a pound. Your metabolism will be fine, you won't gain weight by eating less, and anyone preaching differently is ignorant or straight up lying to you.

No. 186045

It works fine for larger scale stuff usually, but it shouldn't be used as a goal or anything like that, because you can be 18 BMI and skinnyfat, or 24 and look great.
As for the whole "only fat people think that!", the vast majority of people I've seen who say it are either into fitness, or are doctors themselves.

Literally nobody uses BMI, or recommends that you should use BMI as anything to aim for beyond "Try to be in this general range if you want to be somewhat healthy", because that's all it's designed to measure. It's not useful at all as far as aiming for a body type.

If you enjoy it more though and it's helping you achieve your goals, good for you though I guess, though I'd say unless you're tiny, you're eating way too little, you're going to be losing a good amount of muscle there too.
I think the confusion came from you calling it a water fast though, when it's really an intermittent fast. Water fast is not ingesting anything but water for that period of time.

You lose weight if you're intaking less calories than you're burning, that's how the basic function works, I think the intermittent fasting fad is just a way of getting you to do that, because you have a much smaller period to eat in.
If it works for you and you're being smart about it then good for you though, the most important thing about diet is that you stick with it I find.

I've been trying (and succeeding) to lose weight, but my stomach is still flabby. I've never been overweight, and it's never been anything but. I know I can't spot reduce, but here's the issue: I'm poor, don't own any gym equipment, can't afford a gym and don't like gyms in the first place. I do walk a lot, though.

No. 186688
>>186683I'd recommend if you're feeling dizzy and tired all the time to watch your diet pretty closely, make sure you're still eating enough. A lot of people have a tendency to eat barely anything when trying to lose weight, and it works, but they lose muscle mass and feel shitty all the time while doing it.
Try to not go below around 750 calories below your tdee (if you don't know what this is, there's a lot of online calculators) while trying to lose weight.
And the flabby stuff is probably exercise related, were you working out while doing it? Your body will lose muscle mass as well as fat while you diet, so it's important to work out to try to preserve as much of that muscle as you can.
And I don't know much about blogilates sorry, someone else might know more. Honestly the fitness subreddit has lots of good resources in its sidebar if you're looking for basic info on this stuff.

Plan your calories out through the day to allow for the night if you can't sleep before it hits, like, leave yourself 200 calories to spare each day and then the night eating won't affect your weight anywhere near as much.

If you want to lose fat/gain a bit of muscle you'll have to eat at maintenance. Just as anon suggested, calculate your BMR & TDEE, then eat at your TDEE or 500cals less if you want to lose weight.
If you want you can consider doing some lifting.
But generally, stay away from any kind of meal plan that contains the words "fast", "easy" or anything related, they're 99% a scam. And don't be afraid to eat a bit unhealthy from time to time, especially at the start. Eventually your body will start craving real food, instead of processed one.

Mine is more of a health thing, than a weight thing, although I have lost weight from doing it.
I was diagnosed pre-diabetic nearly a year ago, high blood pressure, and total cholesterol over 300. I was 221 pounds at 5'1", and 20 years old.
I also got tested for insulin resistance and came back with a big fat "yup you're fucked".
I ended up doing a ton of research on it hoping I'd find anything I could do, especially because my doctor said I could eat grass and drink water and not fix my health. I'm stubborn, obviously.
I came across some research from like Eric Westman, Gary Taubes, and Jason Fung that suggested that lowering sugar intake could help those who were insulin resistant/diabetic. So late last year I started a ketogenic diet, restricting carbs (not including fiber) to <20g per day, moderate protein, and fat to satiety.
I've done so much research it makes my head spin. It answered a lot of questions as to why I would calorie restrict at that time and feel like shit. Calories in calories out - but that was ignoring the hormonal role going on in my body. Insulin suppresses leptin production, a hormone that makes you feel full. It also signals to store energy in the fat cells, and focus on burning sugar. Less sugar going in my body, less insulin spikes, insulin sensitivity gradually came back (though not yet normal), blood pressure went back to normal, blood sugar is now normal, I'm no longer hungry and angry all the time, and I've lost 50 lbs (with about 40 more to go, though I'm still regularly losing).
Obviously I can't go back to eating the way I did, which is a bit sad, and my situation was pretty specific because basically due to genetic factors, and extremely high sugar intake it made me way more sensitive to sugars than a normal person would be, to the point where a bit of fruit or bread makes my blood sugar spike and stay there for far longer than normal.
That also means I can never go back to the way I was eating, but I feel way better healthwise now, my risk factors for heart disease are down, my acne has cleared up, my periods are regular again, my mood is more stable, and my bloodwork (HDL, LDL, trigs, blood sugar, basal insulin, LDL particle size, etc) are all coming back consistently clean.
Sorry for the blog post, but just wanted to put it out there that I'm really glad I found what works for me, and that I'm healthy for the first time that I can remember.

So after months of intense trips to the gym and clean eating, I've started eating like a pig again. I was really fucking happy and feeling super great for the first time in a loooong, long time.
A sad incident happened and I was caught off guard, so I forgot about my health, diet, goals, etc. I've gained almost 2kg in April. And I just binged today…
So yeah, I feel really fucking awful. But i want to start over again. I won't wait until tomorrow, it starts again today despite the binge eating episode from earlier.
But I feel super down and these extra 2kg feel more like 20kg in my head..sigh.

>>189062I'm currently 171, I've integrated intermittent fasting and some extended fasts to help lower my basal insulin even more (with research supporting this from Fung and others) and that's been helping break any stalls I've encountered.
>>189081Yeah he also tried to put me on statins, despite the research saying 1) they don't work 2) cholesterol is more complicated than they make it out to be and 3) statins are actually HARMFUL for women to take (likely due to cholesterol's influence in hormonal regulation and such). I dropped him after that statement, and found a new doctor who encourages, advises, and suggests other stuff based on up to date science instead of stuff he learned in med school 2 decades ago. I'm very grateful for it, and the proof is in the results for me.
>>189097I don't think it will cause weight gain, since I doubt there's not much to it (see pic). It's made of Beta Hydrowhatever (a type of ketone), xantham gum (a nonstarchy thickener), erythritol (a nonglycemic, noninsulogenic sweetener), L-Taurine - an amino acid, etc
So there's nothing there that will cause weight gain really. At best, she'll feel a little more clearheaded as ketones have shown to help with dementia and alzheimers and memory issues, maybe a bit of an energy boost (though I doubt it). At worst, it'll do nothing and she'll have wasted her money on something she can produce herself with simple diet changes.
To put it in perspective, someone who goes on a ketogenic diet can make about 10-20x the amount in a serving for basically free. Even if you don't want to go that extreme, and just cut out processed sugars and up healthy fat intake you'll probably still make some, still for cheaper.
So either way it's dumb.

What motivates me after I gained 10 pounds after getting an infection (this was probably stress/sickness related water weight gain and went away right after I got better but regardless) was that, like okay. I gained weight. Maybe I messed up somewhere. Maybe I relaxed in my eating habits.
But what else am I going to do but go right back to it?
Do I want to go back to feeling bad, moody, depression stags, achy joints, not fitting into normal clothes, not being able to walk long distances, etc?
Was I just going to give up all the progress I've made and just go back to being miserable? no
I LIKE feeling healthy so there's no other option but to get back on the horse.
Plus, anon, 2kg is not that much. If you have a food sensitivity or something that could just be water weight and will come off after a few days of eating right again.
A fluctuation of 1-2kg per DAY is normal. If you drink two liters of water, you'll gain 2kg until it's out of your system.
Getting healthy is a lifelong endeavor. Just remember that there's no such thing as a short term diet, because as soon as you stop eating right you'll gain all the weight back. As long as you have something that you feel like you can do for the rest of your life and is sustainable, and maybe even enjoyable, you're golden.

Regard anything with refined sugars as an addictive substance (it technically is, eight times as powerful as cocaine).

>>189286I started drinking Stevia-based sodas and making fruit smoothies. I don't even like soda, but it's a great way to have a 0-calorie sweet treat. You can also eat (non-shitty) yogurt with fruit in it.
Around once (sometimes twice) per week I'll treat myself to a small chocolate bar or piece of cake/pie/frappuccino. I've found that since cutting out candy for the most part and switching to stevia and natural sugars (fruit), I don't enjoy sweets as much as I once did. In fact, I can't eat cheap American candies and chocolates anymore like Reeses peanut butter cups. They literally taste like waxy garbage, even though I used to eat 4-12 pieces in a single sitting multiple times per week (I still like quality chocolates, but I actually have to go out of my way to buy them and they are more costly so I'm less inclined to binge). I've luckily never been a big cake fan and pies are generally not sold per-piece so it's the same issue of seeking them out and price. I definitely crave chocolate the next day, but knowing that I can eat some in 1 more week helps a lot!
I hope this gives you and other anons ideas on how to cut sugar if you were a candy-addict like I was (conveniently, it's when I switched from candy to breads that I gained my weight, which is why I recommend stevia/smoothies).
No. 189399
>>189305For chocolate, I eat the lily's chocolate bars. It has soooo much less sugar (like 4g minus fiber for half a bar and I only eat one or two squares) and it doesn't cause that feeling of needing to binge. I definitely think I've got a sugar addiction so I just try to avoid anything that gives me the urge.
I've found bread, potatoes, candy, sugar soda, some fruit like pineapple, etc all make me want to eat more and more so I don't eat them anymore.
Along the way I've found most berries, stevia sweetened stuff, etc I can eat some and be satisfied.
Echoing that fat is better than sugar (as long as it's healthy fat like butter, avocado, macadamia nuts, etc, and not vegetable oils or margarine) it is REALLY hard to binge on fat, so I make replacement candy that's like 90% fat (like replacement reese's peanut butter cups, almond joys, cheesecake even, etc no added sugars to any of it) and then I find that after like 1 piece or slice I am completely done and don't want any more.
The USDA dietary guidelines in 2015 also said that fats are OK and don't need to be limited and contribute no risk to heart disease, and my bloodwork always comes back OK so there is that.
tl;dr find out what makes you want to binge and stop eating it, and replace it with something that is just as tasty and leaves you satisfied

I've lost 5kg so far but want more progress
I've started gym and diet, my tummy/gut is my worst area- what are some good exercises and diet and foods to help aid it? I know I can't spot reduce, but anything that at least will help, I'd appreciate knowing
Do planks really help in the long run?
Also how do I do calorie deficits?
For instance
I have a small breakfast, and lunch if I'm lucky, that total to maybe400 calories before work- quite a demanding retail job
By the end of my shift I'm hungry, my tummy is rumbling, I know it isn't comfort food, so I have a dinner around 500 calories
I avoid snacks and any unhealthy junk and try to balance protein/carbs/veggies and fruit
By following this and not binging, am I hitting the calorie deficit? I can't afford to go to gym every day and right now I'm focusing more on diet than exercise then switching to more gym once I'm down another half stone or so!
Please enlighten me

>>189766You said it yourself, you can't spot reduce, you'll have to lose overall body fat, so just keep going
Do you count calories? Since you mentioned them
Basically: calculate your TDEE then reduce the number by 500cals
https://tdeecalculator.net/Also, is this all you eat? 900cals? Unless you're really short that's way too low. If you have such a demanding job then you'll need the energy so you don't feel dead tired and can go through a shift. Just don't eat under our BMR and take care.
It takes some time but you'll get there.

>>189844Weed helped me overcome anorexia.
It boosts appetite, enhances taste, and at the same time calmes the nerves, an ideal combination of effects.
How it's not yet a viable medicinal option for treatment pisses me off. Nooo, better to leave people struggling with a life-threatening condition or give them other, more expensive, less potent pharmaceutical drugs with adverse side effects. Smh

>>190064I calculated it for you. I've guessed the weight to be around 143 lb since you didn't mention an exact number.
Your BMR is 1600 cals, which means you're (slightly) not eating enough.
Have you considered to maintain and just build muscle instead? It could help if you're feeling fat or flabby/chubby etc. And nope, it won't make you look like a bodybuilder or something, you'll just look "lean".
Losing 20lbs will put you in the underweight category anon. So please don't. If you think everyone is already thinner than you, then you might not be "recovered", only weight restored.
Please please please go talk to your doctor, therapist or anyone about this because you could be putting yourself at risk.
No. 190149
>>190079Thank you for the advice! Yeah, I'm not fully recovered at all but not actually anorexic anymore at least. It's weird since I do gain weight if I eat more than 1500 (and I definitely calculate this 100% accurately); I ate so much for a few months while weight restoring that I doubt my metabolism is still suppressed after a year of eating normally, so it's a bit demotivating.
I might try working out a bit more! It's a bit hard since I associate exercise with torture because of my past overexercising haha but maybe I just need to try a different routine.

No. 190630
>>190616You don't. It will go back a little with exercise but if it's stretched it's stretched and no exercise will change it. It all depends on how elastic your skin is and how stretched it is so far whilst overweight.
If it's gone past it's returning point it will require surgery or a wide waistband on your pants. It's still better than remaining overweight though, and in all honesty a little loose skin on a fit girl looks a million times better than skin that's tight around fat. You'll be fine even if the skin gets a little loose.

>>194126I do it with most of my meals, but I'll do it in a reasonable way (and don't freak out if I can't!). Not only does it help with portion control - whether you want to eat less or more, like I do - and also is really useful if you have to budget for food, because you can actually plan how much you will need to buy.
Like, for breakfast I have a sliced apple, 7 sliced strawberries, covered with 100g vanilla yoghurt = 2 portions of fruit, plus a serving of dairy. I also only weigh my dinner so I can separate my plate correctly, because I eat do 1/4 protein, 1/4 carb, 1/2 vegetables. So a pasta dish would be 100g pasta, 100g veggie mince, then 200g of various vegetables (plus homemade pasta sauce to mix it all with).
As I said though, if I eat an unweighed meal I don't freak out about it. Usually just annoys me because 9/10 times I end up wasting food because I've made too much lol…

Got a new scale today and discovered I'm the heaviest I've ever been, so I made myself a new lock screen for my phone.
I've been ballooning up since my mom suddenly died in Dec, lots of stress/grief eating and drinking. I've gained 25-30 lbs.
My sense of style is screwed since none of my cute clothes fit anymore and it's fucking with my self esteem
I have to wear my mom's old jeans now.. it's kinda nice to feel close to her in that way, but I also know that if she was alive she wouldn't want me to have to do that. She'd be agreeing with me and encouraging me to shape up!

I just want to be able to wear my clothes again and put together outfits, I have an entire wardrobe I love that I can't fit into anymore
Also it might be worth clarifying that my mom was 6 inches shorter than me, so all her jeans are too short and most of them too wide so I have to roll them and I get this unflattering rosie the riveter style fit lol. I'd rather put up with it until I loose weight than buy all new clothes.

No. 195548
>>195441What has worked best for me is to mostly eat only whole foods. Whole foods are foods that aren't processed. Examples would be chicken, eggs, beef, beans, fruits, veggies, potatoes, oats, nuts etc.
My go to meal for using whole foods is soup. Just use a clear broth (I like veg stock), add chicken or beans, tons of veggies, and potatoes. It's a low calorie dinner and I can have seconds every time without gaining weight.
Some other tips are to never drink your calories (tea and water only! juice as a treat), and always have dessert if you have a sweet tooth. Just make sure you only have a very small portion of dessert so you don't ruin your diet. I also usually have a very small amount of salty junk food a day, like 5-10 chips depending on how hard I'm craving them. Of course if you don't have an affinity for junk food it would be better to cut that shit out completely, but in my case the small portions keep me from bingeing.
Sorry for turning this into a blog post.

No. 195938
>>195919Like what are meals that are pretty typical for you?
>>195936A 500 calorie lunch is basically more than one third of the total caloric intake a 5' person needs. Like…if I ate 1500 calories a day I'm gaining wait fullstop since I don't exercise much. I used to struggle to go under 125lbs but figured it out when I cut my portions to one half to one third of what an average person eats. The average family restaurant dinner plate is already way too much food for an average sized person in one sitting, they're probably close to my entire day's caloric intake in that one meal alone.
I fill up on low calorie vegetables (I eat salads with 3 cups of arugula at ~6 cals per cup topped off with what other veggies, legumes, proteins I have on hand), I can get really full off of it too now. My carb intake is like a slice of toast in the morning and a half cup of rice for dinner. I don't much eat dairy based products, but I'm lactose intolerant. I avoid drinking my calories. Because of all the veggies my meal intake is ~800 cal which leaves me plenty of room for some snacking in the day. I now sit comfortably between 110 and 115, a little higher than I'd like but that's an issue with my snacking habits. When I choose healthier snacks I can go down much more. If you exercise, unlike me, you'll have more room to eat more calories.
Though, I suppose it's easy for me to say. I love vegetables and all my favorite foods are healthy and nutritious for the body.
You can "train" yourself to eat less too. Drink water before and after your portion controlled meal, then wait 20 minutes to see if you're still unsatisfied.

>>195987I use smaller plates and bowls. I also tell myself if I don’t feel satisfied I can go back for seconds, but then drink some water and wait 20min before going for seconds. Usually in this time I end up feeling full anyway. (takes a bit for your stomach to send the right signals to your brain). There’s also taking more time to eat, taking smaller bites of food, or taking your time chewing your food, etc. If you find yourself ravenously hungry when dinner time rolls around, you’re probably not eating enough/eating the right food during the day.
But at the end of the day, all this advice is pretty worthless if you can’t practice self control.

>>196144To add
this is for small tiny ass people bigger people will probably feel miserable and if you try this as a bigger person you might have ED tendencies:
A human stomach can hold 2-4L of food. Since I’m on the “I’ll round up to 5 feet” kind of small, I assume the lower end, ~2L. 2L is a little under 8.5 US cups. If I go by the idea that you should eat until you feel ~80% full, that’s 1.6L or 6.8 cups.
My average dinner is something like (guesstimating) 1 cup cooked spinach (46 cal), half cup rice (white, short grain 121 cal), 1 cup other veg (let’s say steamed broccoli 31cal) ~half cup meat (115 cal for diced cooked chicken). 1 cup side soup (miso soup 81 cal) .I’ll drink like half a bottles worth of water or tea (0 cal) and I’m reasonably filled up with room for desert (though I usually skip it) at something like 400 calories.
I think this is a really generous guesstimate though. I dunno, I don’t feel empty or dizzy eating this much. I feel fine. I have energy all throughout the day, my vitals are great. Biology is just strange like that.

>>195940How do you cook them?
Roast things like carrot, sweet potato, Brussels sprouts, onions etc. brush a little olive oil and salt and pepper over them first and they're amazing. Or a half teaspoon of honey to your carrots.
Leave steam cooked things like broccoli firm and they taste amazing. Stir fry with cabbage or shredded zucchini in place of noodles to save carbs. They take on the flavour of whatever you're cooking (sumac and cabbage together are bliss) and bulk out meals with few calories.

>>196451I'm the same way with eating the same thing every day when I'm depressed, it just takes too much energy to figure out new meals. It's not very healthy to always eat the same things though, you need variation to get all the nutrients your body needs.
That said, to make your diet more healthy than it has been you don't need to change it up completely, porridge made with oats and peanut butter is a good breakfast, I have it sometimes myself with some soy milk.
I don't know what a toastie is exactly, but maybe change it out for a whole wheat wrap with avocado, spinach, tomatoes, cucumber or whatever vegetables you like, and maybe add some protein like salmon or a bean salsa. Or whip up an omelette with onions, tomatoes, shrimp or whatever, I don't really know what you like but an omelette can be varied in so many ways.
Switch the chips for an actual sweet potato, cut it into strips and cook in the oven with a little bit of oil and some thyme and/or rosemary or just make it like a baked potato. Or you could just make some stir fry vegetables, the kind you buy frozen is super simple and low in calories so you can eat enough to fill you up. Choose leaner meats and don't prepare it with too much oil or butter, avoid processed meats.
Instead of candy try having some fruit/berries and a couple squares of dark chocolate as a snack. I like to have an apple cut into 8 or so pieces with peanut butter.
Try to go for a walk in the daylight every day, it will make you feel better to get some basic exercise and the light will improve your mood as well.

Also an omelette is genius, is it better to do those with just egg whites or the whole egg?

>>196531PB is great, but I should have added that yeah, it's very calorie dense so just keep that in mind. Also make sure it's just peanuts and salt in it, I know some brands have sugar and shit in them but try to avoid those.
I would say the whole egg, most of the nutrients are in the yolk anyway and the meal will be more satisfying. As with anything moderation is key though so maybe no more than three eggs if it is just for yourself.
You are very welcome, I'm glad my health coach education finally came to some use, lol. Also remember that a day isn't ruined just because you made one or two or three bad choices, just catch yourself and choose better the next time. Take responsibility for your choices, there's no need to call yourself a dumbass because you indulged. It breaks the cycle of shame if you own your mistakes, and prevents you from continuing to over-eat just because "might as well".

>>196685I'm a fatty losing weight. I could probably suggest a lot of things, but these are my go-to meals when I don't want to think very hard.
This plan probably tips just over 1300 cal on the worst days.
You could cut the oil, butter, cream, etc. that I use if you really need a diet strictly under 1300.
Breakfast (190-360 cal): Slice of buttered toast and a coffee. Maybe two slices if I know I'm going to have a long day. I buy the 21 grain Dave's killer bread (120 cal per slice). European unsalted butter (100 cal per Tbsp) but I only use half a Tbsp. I put a Tbsp of half and half (20 cal) and a packet of Stevia in the raw (0 cal) in my coffee.
Lunch (180-450 cal): A whole pineapple (450 cal), half of a honeydew melon (180 cal), or half of a personal sized watermelon (190 cal). Those numbers probably range depending on exact size. I slice whichever one I want up and put it in a big plastic tub. Sometimes I can't even finish the thing. Very filling and hydrating.
Dinner (450 cal): 8 oz oven baked chicken breast (220 cal), very sparingly brushed with olive oil (50 cal or less) and seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. One small "baked" russet potato prepared in a microwave (130 cal) with two Tbsp of sour cream (50 cal) and salt/pepper.
Snacks: I try so hard not to snack. If I do, it'll be a banana or an apple, usually betweek breakfast and lunch as that's when I get hungry. I drink a lot of water and shitty, bottled, diet green tea from Costco. I drown my cravings.
I have energy and don't get crabby eating these meals. I think gorging on fruit and chugging diet drinks is what really gets me through it. Every week I buy two pineapples, two melons, and a few bananas and apples. Also, like

Breakfast
Cup of black coffee
Protein shake with almond milk and powdered peanut butter - 280 calories
(or)
One cup of nonfat Greek yogurt with a half cup of bran cereal mixed in - 220 calories
Lunch
A sweet potato - 180 calories
(or)
Avocado and salsa on thin sandwich bread - 230 calories
(or)
Veggie burger patty with hummus on thin sandwich bread - 220 calories
Dinner is usually something like chicken with vegetables. I'm also a terrible snacker, so for that I eat stuff like nuts, a banana, a couple rice cakes with a little peanut or almond butter, baby carrots, 'enlightened' ice cream, a protein bar like thinkthin or quest, a Greek yogurt cup, or hummus with crackers. I noticed with mfp that the snacks usually total more for calories than what I eat at meals.

Around 700 cal because sometimes i add a tbsp nut butter into the mix.
- whole ataulfo mango, cup of 2% cottage cheese,cup of coffee, yogurt parfait cup. Around 657 cal, sometimes I add hemp hearts to this
Lunch

Articles overall seem to swing all over the place about whether milk in general is okay, should be avoided, or is only acceptable in certain forms (such as pic related). What do you think?

Words like that are just used by marketers to make you feel like you're buying a "quality" product and to encourage you to spend extra money on it. There's literally no difference.
You don't really understand how bad cow's milk is for your health until you've given it up for a few months. Cow's milk is full of fat, growth hormones and anti-biotics (no matter what the carton says). It helps turn baby cows into fully grown, adult cows. No wonder we're fighting obesity in all the first-world countries, this lie that milk is "natural" is gross.
Plant milk on the other hand, is lower in calories, has less fat and sugar and in general, is cheaper. Can't see a single reason to drink cow's milk over much healthier plant milks.

>>202065Well I am a picky eater, so a lot of my meals consist of some lunch meat usually roast beef or ham because they tend to be lower in carbs than turkey, some cheese, typically sharp cheddar, mustard, pickles, and a couple of strawberries. My husband who eats anything though eats salads with lettuce, ranch (lowest in carbs we can find), cheese, ham, and some Whisps, which are basically crackers made entirely of cheese, in place of croutons. Eggs are also awesome on keto if you like them, I don't though so I stick to my typical meal a lot.
But really, it isn't as hard as some people make it out to be, just check every nutrition label for carbs and always subtract the dietary fiber for your net carb total and try to stay under 20g net carbs a day.
Ooh, and pork rinds! I eat them a lot with french onion dip as a snack.

>>212854The bulk of your diet should be vegetables and wholegrains (carbs); then proteins; then healthy fats - think 50:30:20. Make sure you hit minimum daily calories (2000 for women, which I assume you are) and then are doing some exercise to create the deficit required to lose weight. Here’s a list of healthy fats:
https://www.self.com/story/9-high-fat-foods-actually-good-for-you (ignore the dairy and meat at the end, it’s just to make people feel better about eating it tbh).
Junk - refined, sugary, fried, processed, “fat-free” - food (and drink, including diet soda) is not your friend. It’s hidden empty calories and will make you retain water, which will make you look bigger. Sweet fruits - strawberries, apples, berries, bananas, etc - should be eaten as a dessert instead.
Honestly simple changes, but will be effective at getting you through the plateau. Good luck anon! :)

No. 212934
>>212862All vegetables are great, but they have a scale of nutrient benefit. Lettuce is 97% water, so great for bulking out dishes and providing some hydration but not a lot else. Try to get a good mixture of root & green vegetables (carrots, peas, spinach, kale, parsnips, potatoes, etc) alongside your salad vegetables (cucumber, tomatoes, etc). Fruit is the same; there’s starchy and sweet fruits. Look up “low GI diet” - high GI is sweet, low is starchy. Try and choose the low more often than the high.
Sweet potato is better for you than white potato as it’s a more “complex carb” (the body takes longer to break it down into glucose, avoiding “sugar crash”). Avocado is a great source of healthy fats. Bok choy is a green vegetable and is full of vitamins. Simple swaps will really help you out (and keep you from getting bored lol).
No. 212935
>>212865Your cravings for carbs will never go away because it’s your body’s main source of energy, it should be making up 50% of your diet. The way to still lose weight is exercise! Your body NEEDS to intake approx. 2000kcals a day to work properly, but all it does with that is convert it into necessary sources (fat stores, energy levels, cell repair, etc). If you work out, you burn off 500kcals (for example) of that store, and you begin to lose weight.
If you’re excessively craving carbs, there’s a few reasons:
You’re not hitting your daily calorie needs and your body is trying to get more to work with.
You’re not eating any healthy fats and your body thinks you’re at risk of starving.
You’re not addicted to carbs, you’re addicted to sugar content of those carbs, and that’s the only way you’re getting it now you’re not eating sweets.
Hope this helps!

If you commute to work, something you can do is stopping earlier (say a few bus stops) which is what I do, and walk the rest home so you never miss a chance to walk. If I'm not working, I'll walk all the way to the store then come back by bus or train.

Using my fitness pal to keep at 1300 calories a day. A friend talked me into getting a food scale, I thought it would be a drag but it turned out really helpful in tracking. I really had no concept of calories in food before I started using it.
I eat a protein shake for breakfast everyday and I've been eating just 1 actual 'meal' a day (dinner) and the rest of the calories are from snacking. No beverages besides water.

No. 213143

When I reach my goal weight I'll just eat more, bigger portions. Whatever daily intake I need to maintain my weight, I may not even have to count calories.
I have no problems eating (no food aversion or ed).
I've experienced more drastic weight loss before (unintentionaly, when I overworked myself in school) and I know how it feels to be malnourished, and I'm not feeling that now :P
What do you recommend I do differently?
No. 213257
>>213143I’m glad to hear that you have no problem with increasing intake anon, it’s scary how fast diets can spiral into fear of food once they show results.
I’d recommend spreading your meals over the whole day, and upping your calorie intake a bit; the first suggestion will actually speed up your weight loss and the second will help you not need gum, if you choose the food wisely. Gum is terrible for your body because it thinks it’s being fed and produces stomach acid, which then doesn’t get used and sits in your stomach, and stimulates hunger. Allow yourself a 100 calorie portion of whatever you’re craving or something :)
The only reason I said something is because your stomach and appetite shrink over a prolonged period of restriction - you might find you get to your goal weight and physically can’t stomach enough food to maintain. (I’ve been there, it sucked!) If you’re feeling healthy though, I won’t worry too much. Congrats on your progress and good luck!

Growing up I was more or less unintentionally ana-teir skinny/nutrient deficient because my parents often didn't buy groceries and never taught me what to eat.

Quinoa is an amazing food to eat when trying to lose weight. It's got a low glycemic index, and it's packed with vitamins and minerals. I make a couple of different types of salads which use it as the base, one with sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, asparagus, green onion, and skinless chicken breast. I put a little soy on it for flavor and it's fantastic. Two cups of that is more than enough to fill me up.
I also make a balsamic vinegar/olive oil based Tuscan bean salad with quinoa that includes broccoli rabe, escarole, and sautéed mushrooms. I always toss some skinless chicken breast in there, it's a lot of protein, but that will help you to feel full longer, or least that's how it works for me.
I keep tomatoes and cauliflower and broccoli on hand for snacking. I bought a cheap cuisinart and make a lot of hummus and babaganoush, too. I make all the salads on Sunday, and then I don't have to worry about cooking or food for the week.
Some days I count calories, and some I don't. I think it's good to do in the beginning. It helps you to be aware of how much you're actually eating, but after a while your stomach will shrink and you'll feel it when you overeat. I drink green tea and water, and I also take three tablespoons of Bragg's apple cider vinegar a day. That's an old wives tale from my grandma and I don't know if it actually helps me lose weight, but it can't hurt! I bought a cheap pedometer for ten bucks, and I make sure I get 10k steps a day. I also do what the queen did, and dance pretty hard for about 90 minutes every day. Thank you, pixy!
Grazing works better for me than set meals. I also do a modified fast where I only eat between ten am and six pm. I don't know if any of this will be useful to anyone but honestly, quinoa is great stuff.
Hope that this helps someone or gives someone out there some ideas. I really like this thread and I hope we can support each other. I'm always on the lookout for new and easy recipes. That's the hardest thing for me, because I'm so lazy.

Keep away from woo, eat your greens, cut down the sugar, oil, refined carbs and all sorts of junk food. The simplest approach can at times be the most effective. If you really, REALLY want a tailored approach, get a blood test done and see if you have any deficiencies.

>>233916(Also an ex-anachan who is 1.6m and 52kg)
If you’re happy with how you look, don’t worry about dieting. You’re not unhealthily big, and it’s okay to not be super slim.
Staying full is about mass and nutrients - both have to be satisfied. I keep a lot of fresh veg and tasty dips in the house for regular snacking, as well as my favourite fruits. I also keep a bar of flavoured dark chocolate for sweet cravings - it’s bitter and very sugary so I can’t eat much without feeling sick so it stops boredom binging haha.
I’m also vegan, which helps as most crap food has animal products in, but it forces me to plan nutritious meals (otherwise you live on chips and tomato pasta). I eat a lot of legumes/pulses - chilli, burritos, lentil lasagna, etc - which are really cheap but very filling and nutritious. Also drink lots of water, it helps regulate and reinvigorate your body, and will balance your appetite.
And of course if you do have a crap meal (or even a crap day) don’t beat yourself up. Just get straight back to it - it’s not bad to eat junk sometimes. Casual exercise (a walk, a bike ride, a swim) will help offset excessive calorie intakes and provide endorphins to make you feel good!
Hope that helped!

My biggest problem is that i simply love to eat.
I'm not very picky, i eat nearly everything (besides healthy stuff like veggies and fruit) and i eat huge portions.
I know that i'll have to do a lot of sports to burn all that of, but no amount of exercise would make up for my gigantic daily calorie intake.
What could i do to feel less hungry all the time? I can hardly stand not eating for more than an hour, on the one hand because i'm bored or sad or whatever and therefore want to eat and on the other hand because i really do feel hungry and my stomach is growling just a short time after i've had a meal.
No. 239927
>>239925I've had this problem too anon. What I found was that if I could just go a day or two with having small portions, small meals, spaced throughout the day, by the third or so day I found I was full after the small meals, and didn't want massive portions anymore. I don't know if your stomach actually stretches but it feels like for me, yeah, my stomach stretched to expect all these massive meals and as soon as it stopped getting them it shrank.
By small meals I mean I was having like, a small bowl of cereal, and then maybe three hours later one or two pieces of buttered toast, then a few hours later a few crackers. Small portions. Also, drinking enough water and - when I really want to eat b/c bored, etc - getting a soothing hot drink like tea or coffee. It was uncomfortable for a little while but that's the price I paid for having spent so long eating SO much. Knowing that I could still eat fairly soon helped me to not panic - just that when I did I would eat a small amount slowly and carefully.
Anyway I don't know what is the best plan going forward for you but the above is my best advice for quickly getting yourself out of the "I need enormous portions" state. Small portions.
No. 239930
>>239925Anon, that screams disordered eating.
You need to train your body to be happy with smaller amounts of food, so sticking to 3 meals a day plus maybe a small snack at 4pm or something. Other than that: Tea. Water.
You also need to find something else to do when you're bored or stressed. This is hard, because you obviously find comfort in eating, but you will have to learn to re-focus this on something else.
If you want to be a bit crazy (quick results), people are usually happier with a lot smaller portions after fasting for a day or two.

>>239925You need to differentiate between mental hunger and actual hunger. Drink lots of water with your meals, before, meanwhile and after. Or you can switch that to a healthy soup.

>>315242farmer diet reminds me of the longevity diet, which me and my bf are trying to do to reduce inflammation.
everyone eats too many carbs, but they're simple carbs. the longevity and farmer diets center around complex, slow digesting carbs and limit simple carbs, along with eating a ton of omega 3 and nuts and veggies.
part of the idea with that is that historically, many people had little access to meat, sometimes never at all, but would eat plenty of grains, nuts, veggies, and some fish. many of the oldest surviving people in the world had a diet like this, and apparently high meat/high protein diets can lead to a higher chance of systemic inflammation and related diseases.
i haven't given these diets a proper trial yet so i'm not trying to shill too hard but that's what i understand so far.

>>320887>I know I'm a bit late, but meal planning and meal prep helped me stay on track.Anon, if you're still around I'd love to hear more about your meal prepping. I've been wanting to get into it for ages but don't where to begin. I want it to be simple, but balanced, and I want to make sure I'm getting the nutrients I need. What sort of meals do you eat? And how easy is the prep? Do you cook and prep everything one day out of the week? I'd also like to hear from other anons too if they got anything. Pic unrelated.

i've been using this as a guide… i have this insatiable craving for fucking milk all the time, and i think it's because i work in an office, stay inside most of the time, and maybe genetics plays a role.
anyway, i've found that whenever i crave milk, if i have some broccoli and/or spinach, the craving dissipates. so now i supplement vitamin d and i have fewer calories because i'm not guzzling milk.
i'm also anemic somehow.

>>328042Not anon, but I also meal prep and have been for 6 months now. I don't care so much about nutrients, just calories. I also live alone so it's easier for me in that aspect!
I look for weekly menus that families would use that seems healthy and fit my calorie goals. Then I pick 3 meals, buy stuff, cook, and freeze.
Yes, freeze. If there's something like a pasta carbonara, I don't freeze it, and cook the pasta daily, but otherwise, freezing stuff is just fine.
I get 12 meals, so I have two dinners or lunches to do something else, like making something nicer. With 3 options I also don't get bored with it! Takes me about 2 hours to cook everything.
Sometimes I prep for two weeks in advance.
But I prep for just weight loss and have ED-tendencies so I just try to make sure I don't skip meals, not trying to build muscles or be that healthy, so it might not work for you?

I was an ana until I was nearly 16, then put on weight thanks to the yo-yo effect and spent the rest of my high school years being average slim, but hating my body and trying to lose it again with stupid diets.
When I started uni I got depressed and anxious, and because I'm so lonely and sad I eat. Now I'm in my 5th year and fatter than ever.
I always try to start dieting, but I never manage to for more than a day. I usually eat like one healhty meal, go for a run once and then immediately shovel down food again. Just the thought of not being able to eat makes me so unbelievable sad and anxious, food is really my only comfort.
But on the other hand, pretty much all my insecurities and the sadness that stems from that are a result of me feeling too fat. As terrible as starving myself was, I was still much happier back then.
Today I only ate a yogurt with chia seeds for breakfast and already can't wait for my mother to finally leave for work (I have holidays right now) so that I can finally binge again.
I feel like I'm stuck and only getting fatter and fatter… Food makes me happy, but also fat, being fat makes me unhappy and therefore I eat. Great.
What should I do?

>>376270I’ve never had an eating disorder so my advice is limited, but instead of starving yourself try to focus on instead establishing healthy eating habits first. Binging is a hard habit to break, so try to first replace your usual binge foods with very low calorie foods - stuff like grapes, popcorn without butter, apples. Then ease yourself into eating very filling foods in small quantities for your main meals, foods that are very high in fat and/or protein are much harder to break down so they keep you satisfied for longer. Swapping out milk for full cream milk helps too.
I recognise that disordered thinking regarding food will make this next bit difficult, but at the beginning of you working towards a healthier relationship with food don’t focus on calories. The high protein/fat foods will have significantly more calories than their ‘diet’ counterparts, but as I said before they will keep you full for longer so the higher calories will be negated by you not wanting to eat as much throughout the day.
TLDR; try swapping out the foods you binge on for healthier/low calorie options so that while you work on breaking this cycle you don’t pack on more kilos which will just take you back to step 1.

>>376270I wanted to echo the other anons advice but from a place of someone who has recovered from the ana/binge cycle. Strict diets will always just make you hungry, it's setting yourself up for failure and misery. It really does feel counterproductive but you have to just learn how to eat like a normal balanced healthy person, instead of restricting you should pile your plate higher with greens and protein. Look into the kinds of foods you are binging, if it's a specific thing your body might be craving something it needs, you can look up suggestions for this online. If you're just craving any kind of food at all time then you need to replace this learned emotional crutch with something else such as exercise, talking to friends or keeping busy in other ways. Frequent exercise will improve your figure, help your body put that nutrients exactly where it needs to be and stop you feeling guilty when you do over eat.
This might sound harsh but holding on to your early teen body image isn't going to help you see your adult body as the marvelous piece of biological machinery that it is. 16 is a child, a grown woman is not meant to stay that size. Also bodies are still very resilient even until your early twenties so unless you completely went full Auschwitz then you should be able to metabolise as good as anyone else so please worry less about this 'yoyo effect' in your past and instead focus on your current habits.
Tl;dr focus on overall healthy eating habits, instead of weight loss

>>376453I eat two meals a day, no snacking. It's working fine for me, I don't restrict much other than sugars and I try not to look at calories too much. I also don't worry about fats; it's close to keto but not quite. I eat until I feel full, usually.
I also do a 16:8 IF every day and am loving the results. Are you finding it hard to get all your nutrients in one meal? I thought about going omad but it seemed difficult to get everything in one sitting, which is mainly why I chose the IF route. Still, I've lost a decent amount of weight.
Do you ever feel like you can't eat enough? That was my other concern, getting all my calories in one meal would feel like I was pigging out, so spreading it over two works for me.

but you guys are right, it's making me miserable so i shouldn't weight myself so often or its going to drive me nuts. also, english is not my first language so i think my understanding of the "yoyo effect" was wrong.

put my weight of 152lbs and height of 5'1 into a calorie calculator and it recommended around 1300 for fast weight loss and slightly more for moderate, I'm not sure if I've done it wrong but it also had a zigzag table that looks like this
is it healthier to stick to 1300 or vary it like so?

I'm considering trying this schedule out for myself, but I swim once a week and then run once a week on a different day (also work as a lifeguard), and I'm concerned about any danger that could come from cutting back so much food while being active.

>>429371Extremely worth it if you've ever been overweight or obese and have more fat cells as a consequence.
When people lose weight they don't lose fat cells, the fat cells just shrink. There will come a definite time where diet and exercise will have no effect on shrinking those cells any further. Surgical removal becomes necessary, which is why otherwise skinny celebs have it done.

I started a diet today and already messed up again.
Seems like I'm doomed to be fat forever. If I said this was my 100th attempt I'd be lying, it's definitely been more than that,
I've been trying to lose and instead steadily gained for over 8 years now. I just can't stop thinking about food. People have advised me to stay busy to distract myself, but I already am. I can't concentrate because eating is all that is on my mind. I also already drink a lot of water (like 5 litres a day), but it doesn't make me feel less like eating. I also don't crave specific things, but rather just simply want to eat everything, all the time. I also didn't take it to the extreme either, just eating 2000 calories feels too little for me, I instantly feel miserable if I can't eat til I'm full to the brim.
I really like working out, but because I'm eating so much and so unhealthily, it doesn't have any effect.
The worst thing is probably that most women in my family are thin, I'm definitely not one of those people who are simply made to be a tad curvier. I often see people a lot fatter than me who still look somewhat good, meanwhile I have a massive double chin, my face immediately looks huge and sick when I'm not slim - meaning on top of feeling like shit in my body, I also look very, very ugly right now.
