Why do skinny pipo love energy drinks so much
the starving body craves calories. energy drinks simulate calories for a short while by being artificially sweet and caffeinated. obviously they don't really provide the body the nutrition that it needs but they're a good stop-gap. anorexics often smoke and/or chew gum for the same reason.
Energy drinks and sugarfree protein bars are like manna from God when you are working a double shift, it's 3:45 PM, and your brain has only let you eat 300 calories in the time you've been awake. Also, anorexia can mess up your sleep cycles or prevent you from getting proper REM sleep. It kind of sucks.
How did you get over it?
>tfw 16 bmi and dysphoria that feed into each other
>How did you get over it?
half of the reason i had an ED was insecurity, the other half was deliberate self harming via starvation.
once my mental health overall improved, the need to sh by starving decreased. and, once i had become thin enough, i realized having a gaunt face, sunken cheeks, A cup breasts and a flat butt was not making me look any more feminine. quite the opposite, really.
I have all of those things but I can't seem to stop. I'm glad you got through it. I want to as well.
i did but not anymore
Yes (a wg fetish)
did when puberty started, i thought that losing weight will make me not hate my body. around 16 bmi i realised that weight wasn't the problem, but dysphoria
no im at a healthy bmi
good on you. recovery is hard but definitely possible.
ig if pica counts, but otherwise no, I am a bit underweight but just a bit and I eat fine
u eat dirt or something?
nothing major like swallowing metal and shit. I eat some wood, usually eat the wooden stick on an ice-cream for example, some paper, some strings of fabric, I used to eat bits of paint I had peeled off but I've stopped that, I'd eat grass and leaves too but I have stopped that too. Also fingernails and skin around tips of finger, but that comes under something else i think
healthier than monster and hambaga
my eating disorder is being a fat tub of lard lmao
yup
obesity is unironically an eating disorder. the sooner society accepts it as a mental illness, the sooner we can start to deal with the fatty epidemic
yeh bulimia
I'm 1 year clean of mine, somehow
Congratulations Anon. That takes strength.
Thanks (: Yea I suppose so. I should be proud really, but I find it hard to be. For anyone in recovery struggling, just know that the further along you get, the easier it becomes resist it. It'll always be there in the background though, the monkey tapping your shoulder, especially during times of stress. But it gets easier as time goes along.
It is possible to enter into a negotiated peace with that monkey, even if it never goes away entirely it will eventually stop being so jealous of you having other things in your life. I've always disputed the idea that you have to completely kill it, that would be equivalent to killing a part of yourself.
yea, also i got one of those strawberry monsters for the first time the other day and they are so good, probably my new favorite flavor
yah i have ARFID
No I think I have an actual gastrointestinal issue that makes it harder to eat
Does eating only 1000 calories a day count as an eating disorder?
yes
wait 1000 is an eating disorder? i eat half of that, i thought 1000 was normal
yeah, so did I, until my family claimed I was starving myself
yea im running into that too, but so far ive been successful at downplaying it and getting them to back off, i feel kinda bad for hiding it from people who care about me but im definitely not gonna eat more
>do you have an eating disorder?
Yes badly causes by health problems. Trying to recover but keep struggling to maintain eating.
Eating a thousand calories a day constitutes partial starvation for long periods and has a really big detriment to your psychology, neurology, and body in human studies. Like 1500 calories would be acceptable for some. But generally going below that is detrimental to most.
how fuckin old are you? how have you not been receptive at all to all the health propaganda (which is good) shoving the 2000kc figure down your throat? how do people have no idea what a basic healthy intake of food is like fuck you're dumber than dogs
im 24!
> you're dumber than dogs
yea thats true tbh, in my defense i have genuinely serious issues w memory on top if being retarded so i dont absorb like anything i hear
NTA, but in Canada circa 20 years ago, education around "healthy eating" was purely about nutrient range. Gotta eat X many servings of meat, Y many servings of carbs, Z many servings of fruits or vegetables. The obesity thing in the US was starting to be on the radar as early as the 90's, but education materials moved a lot more slowly than that. Plus it was an American problem.
Not a single mention of calories. And "servings" is just the serving size as labelled on the packaging.
I know because I had to deal with the nutrition guide a lot on account of the food avoidance eating disorder. That said, I never under ate since metabolism was never my problem.
it's not considered an ed for me bc i'm borderline obese
I thought I had BED or something alike, but it was just parasites making me rabidly hungry (too bad no one told me weight gain is still possible with them)
>Do you have an eating disorder Anon?
Yes and I'll never be thin enough.
I probably do. Underweight and I can never really bring myself to eat too much. Mostly because I never have an appetite.
i eat 2 times a day max
Have a food avoidance eating disorder.
Basically as a kid, I saw on TV that kids were "supposed to" hate to eat their vegetables. Gotta love TV role models...
As an adult, still can't eat any fruit or vegetable that isn't heavily processed into a form that is no longer recognizable as such.
Still, blood work always comes back fine on nutrition (hence why parents put up with it indefinitely). Bodies are fucking weird.
I'm actively developing one :3
