the thing about many comics is that they will list female characters at the VERY edge of underweight for their height (or just straight up underweight) and then list male characters at the edge or well into overweight for their height and blame both on “muscle.”

Dick Grayson at 5 ft 10 and 175 lbs (general canon average) is overweight by BMI. Cassandra Cain at 5’5 and 110 lbs is underweight by BMI. and I’ve seen female characters as tall as 5’9 getting down to 110-115 lbs in canon estimates.

carrying extra muscle rarely means carrying less weight overall. Dick Grayson might be a BMI outlier for having more muscle than the average human (making his slightly overweight BMI arguably healthy) but being underweight and carrying a higher proportion of muscle than the average human rarely benefits women.

time to get real, DC. I want my 5’5+ women ripped and somewhere between 130-150. If they’re carrying more muscle, it just makes sense. if it’s for “agility” then why is Dick Grayson allowed to be overweight by BMI?

Yall I'm down to 130.5lbs as of this morning! It's been almost 5 years since I was this small. I'm so excited omg. This is a good motivator to keep doing everything, and to keep my head up. If I can maintain 130lbs or below, I'll be content. As long as I'm burning fat and building small amounts of muscle, I'm happy. I'm not totally happy with how I look right now, but it's slowly becoming more about fat vs. muscle, not weight.

like so for serious i've had a clinical eating disorder of some kind since i was a child and grew up in a house with multiple eating disordered adults. i have weight trauma and abuse trauma both regarding food and eating. i went to residential treatment with no results, inpatient with no results. it always came back no matter what.

and yet here we are. i think it'll stay with me forever in some ways, i still think about doing Behaviors when i'm stressed. but like. i never thought i'd reach a point of "i don't remember the last time i engaged with my ED behaviors" and that's where i am. the hell

So on a general mental health screening in Hungary if you're not in unhealthy underweight bmi territory they won't even ask you further anorexia diagnostic questions. Fucking outdated.

I enjoy showing off my body. I have a semi flat tummy with the outline of a 4 pack slowly but surely forming, the hourglass figure so many women get surgeries and kill themselves for, perky boobs that aren’t too big but not too small either and what men would call a bubble butt. I wear clothes that show off my features in the best possible ways and I enjoy the stolen looks and point blank stares of all the people I cross along my way. I enjoy it all but sometimes I want to hide all over again like I did back in middle school and high school , the years of my youth always pestering me and reminding me of my “chunky” days. The voice that “you’re getting fat” and “look the pudge is coming out the sides of your jeans” come to haunt me every now and again. I stare down my reflection day in and day out, making sure no major changes happen to my body for the fear of going back to the days where I hated every inch of myself may resurface. I eat fairly well (still allowing myself to indulge in the foods I love most) , I go to the gym 4 times a week and I walk regularly, my water intake could be more but it’s still better than before. I love the way I look now and all the compliments that have derived from it but the weight of maintaining it all can be a heavy one. My mom always told me “Beauty is pain” and I never truly understood the depth of those words till I now. I’m 22 years old and my mothers words ring through my brain more often than not, beauty is pain but there’s some pain I’m willing to go through in order to maintain the way I am now.

Sincerely,

A.S.B

A Practical Guide to Weight Management: Finding Balance for Healthy Weight Loss

A Practical Guide to Weight Management: Finding Balance for Healthy Weight Loss

 Maintaining a healthy weight isn't about quickly losing pounds; it's about finding a balance in your daily routine that helps you keep the weight off for years to come. Whether one wants to lose weight healthily, seek tips on how to maintain weight, or create better habits in general, weight management entails smart nutrition, exercising, and sometimes supplements. Here's how one can manage weight effectively and sustainably.

What is Weight Management?

Weight management involves a balance between calorie intake and expenditure by the body. It does not involve dieting or outrageous exercise but finding a routine that can be put into practice in daily life. Whether it is healthy weight loss or maintenance at the current weight, changes need to be developed in long-term practices rather than short-term solutions.

How Do I Calculate Body Fat?

Knowing your body fat can give a better idea of your overall health compared to just looking at that number on the scale. But how do I calculate body fat? Some common ways include body fat scales, skinfold calipers, DEXA scans, etc. It helps you understand your body fat percentage, which gives you a more realistic view of your progress in case you're on some strength-training exercise that isn't guaranteed to make you see lower numbers in the scale because, although your body composition is improving, the number isn't changed as much.

Key Strategies for Weight Management

Following is some sure-fire strategy that may help you with how to maintain weight or achieve healthy weight loss:

Balanced Nutrition: Rather than avoiding whole classes of food, focus on fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, wholesome grains, and healthy fats. This not only will help in weight management but also help bridge nutritional deficiencies needed by the body for its well-being.

Regular Exercise: Being active is a very important component to weight management. Even mild activities can help you burn calories and boost metabolic rate, such as walking, biking, or swimming. Do at least 150 minutes (about 2 and a half hours) of moderate aerobic activity with strength training exercises during a week.

Portion Control: At times, it is not what you eat but how much. Controlling the portion size will enable you to eat any kind of food that you may wish while maintaining the calorie intake at bay.

Mindful Eating: Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues to help avoid overeating. Eat slower, enjoy every taste, and stop when satisfied-not full.

Can Weight Control Supplements Help?

Many individuals ponder if weight control supplements can help them struggle to manage their weight. While many supplements exist on the market, one thing that should be remembered is that no supplement is magic for weight loss and maintenance.

Below are some common weight control supplements that might help in weight management journey:

Supplements with Dietary Fiber: These help you stay full longer and hence reduce your appetite, which in turn can help with portion control.

Green Tea Extract: Normally, green tea extract is known to boost metabolic rate, but when combined with a balanced diet, it could give support to healthy weight loss.

Protein Supplements: These fortify one's protein intake for muscle building and repair, which can help boost metabolic rate, hence aiding in weight management.

Whichever supplement one may want to take, it is always advisable to consult first with a health care provider so that one can be sure it will agree with his health and weight management program.

Weight Management: Overcoming The Challenges

While that can be tricky, maintaining weight upon reaching your goal is all a matter of routine. Many end up on plateaus or gain some weight back by going back to old habits. How to avoid that:

Keep Doing What You're Doing: The key to all this-when you reach your goal weight-is to keep practicing this healthy routine, from eating to regular exercise.

Go with the Flow: Be prepared to give in to the tides of change when your body demands something at varying times by adjusting your calorie intake or adjusting your routine in the gym based on the new demands made by your lifestyle or fitness goals.

Keep Moving: Long-term weight management has a big relation to exercise. Keep it fresh by mixing up your workouts.

Conclusion

Weight management is simply a balance of what you eat, your exercise program, and the style in which you live. Whether one is concerned with healthy weight loss, working out how to calculate body fat percentage, portion control or adding supplements into one's diet to control weight, the main factor is consistency. Small, achievable daily habit changes will lead to lifelong success in maintaining a healthy body and an ideal weight.

YK I WOULD APPRECIATE IF PEOPLE WOULD STOP TELLING ME

ME

WHAT IM GOING TO BE NERVOUS OR HAVE ANXIETY ABOUT

Like JFC just because you know someone who is constantly monitoring their heart rate and getting anxiety over it doesn't mean me

A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON

Is going to have the same problem.

Just let me get a god damn Fitbit in peace. Go deal with your husband if you're so worried about that. he's the one who quit because his heart rate was "to high" and he "kept having anxiety" like join the fucking club. But then another family member has something similar, but could actually be life altering issues, and you fucking make fun of him and call him a loser.

God just let me track my health PLEASE
