As a person with a history of eating disorders who is currently overweight, I generally refuse to track calories because it's super triggering but I've had to track everything for medical reasons for the past week and it's been really interesting seeing that in general I average about 1300-1500 calories a day, and that includes snacks. And I am still unable to lose weight.

It's kind of validating honestly, because it's clear that there's just other stuff going on (slow metabolism, autoimmune stuff, etc) and the "calories in/calories out" assholes are just wrong. I knew they were because I've done the research, but it's nice to also have proof irl.

#i also saw a really nice gastroenterologist today who actually wanted to help and ordered several tests to see whats going on #crazy when doctors actually want to help figure out what's going on and how to help. like honestly something I've maybe experienced once #im getting a ct scan and endoscopy and an inflammation test wooooo #and she actually looked at older test results and read them ehich ive NEVER seen a doctor do lol #eating disorders #body issues #calories #metabolism
