#weight talk tw

[hexcoreviktor]

really wish someone had warned me that my body image issues and insecurities would get so much worse after losing a significant amount of weight lol

[snowfyres]

my dad hasn't seen me in two weeks and the first thing he tells me is "are you eating less and going to the gym? have you weighted yourself". thansk dad.

it's amazing and freeing to weigh 300 pounds and have almost no shame about my body. im happy to have photos taken of me, i look forward to trying on clothes in changing rooms, i view weight-related physical problems with mild frustration and acceptance instead of embarrassment. i am trying to lose weight very slowly because of the discomfort of weighing so much, but i'm doing that out of compassion and care for myself.

tbh i've spent the last 5 years not restricting at all and putting weight management to the side as i worked on myself (i gained 30 pounds, but im ok with that). and now it feels so different to come back to these weight management tools (which were given to me by a psychologist specializing in evidence-based nutrition and disordered eating) with a desire to be healthy in all aspects of my life and compassionate towards myself. ive never lost weight before without it being a punishment motivated by self-hate. but self-hate is a terrible motivator because you can't hold onto a strong negative emotion like that for long. eventually you'll push it away and find relief in whatever comforts you most

i suppose you can call what im doing now "restricting" but im somebody that naturally eats due to emotion and compulsion so it does help to have a guide on how much i should eat. it still comes out to 2000 calories. and if im hungry, i eat.

anyway, i do think that anti-diet-culture politics and weight management can coexist

If anybody wants to know what the perfect depiction of recovery looks like in media, I think you should look no further than Anton Ego in Ratatouille. Weight gain is such a beautiful part of recovery, yet there are few pieces of media willing to depict weight gain as something joyful or even neutral. Weight gain is a beautiful thing in recovery. We need to start depicting it as so.

challenge for my dad: spend a day without asking me about my weight.

[ishikawayukis]

not going to feel bad about gaining weight when 1 i'm already exercising 5 times a week to lose it. 2 even if i don't it's not a moral failure and i'm allowed to be anything and not just skinny

I gained some weight earlier this year due to my psychiatrist doubling my meds, but luckily, I’ve lost 15 pounds and will be back to my best self by my wedding in April

[morganpdf]

not my dad starting to message me telling me to use his fasting diet app & then following it up w a picture of some graph of obesity vs life expectancy. w another message like "maybe your goal this year should be to go from morbidly obese to obese :)"

[leagueraised]

either damian is severely malnourished, or dc doesn't know how weight works

and i think we all know which is more likely

[mishkakagehishka]

I need to gain back the weight i lost when i got covid and food poisoning all but back to back. But the real problem is that weight loss indeed comes with a smaller appetite. So i need to find a meal with the biggest calorie per bite rate i guess

[iowaisms]

*bolting upright in bed* I don't want to be skinny. I just want to wear clothes I look good in that match my sense of style. I want to be fat and fashionable!

[millionancientbees]

Idk food stuff

The other day my very much thinner friend said sometimes they feel insecure eating around me because I don’t eat very much and I felt like they were telling me the sky was green

I asked my partner about this bc I feel like I’m like. A secret eater. And they said no I definitely eat less than them. They weigh like 80lb less than I do but are also more physically active.

I brought up this comment w my friend today for some clarification and to offer support and their partner told me they intentionally eat snacks, especially salty ones (bc I have POTS), near me so I’ll eat some and hopefully eat enough.

I brought all of this up with my partner of 16 years and they said yeah you don’t really eat very much.

????????????????????????

To be Very Fat and to be told ppl dont think you’re just constantly over eating is wild. Like?? Genuinely feel like someone idk told me cars can fly now.

Also continuously confused abt how I weigh as much as I do lol. I don’t care abt how fat I am generally but I would like to…be able to continue buying clothing and not having an understanding of why I gain weight when I do makes that a very daunting thing bc I have no idea why I am as big as I am besides genetics & my psych meds. My thyroid is within normal range and has been for a while.

Bodies are so weird and being perceived is even weirder!!!!!!!!

[unfilteredrealities]

I’m very anxious at the moment so I decided to do knee push ups to somehow get rid of my anxiety and it went away but for like 5min :))

What now 😂 I guess I need to do more push ups or something to feel less anxious gg.

Looking at my new ID motivated me enough tbh. I look horrible in the picture. So let’s make this weight go away somehow. Before someone comes after me: I am overweight and my weight is not healthy for my body atm. I don’t feel comfortable in my own skin. I want to create healthier routines. So that’s why I am dabbling into beginner at home calisthenics.

Edit: I did 20 inclined wall push ups as well!

Feeling good now.

Internalized fatphobia etc. Weight loss talk tw. But for me its like. I don't necessarily Hate being fat. It just is what it is. I'm plenty attractive thick or not. But.

I want to be physically active again because I want to feel the wind on my body and the joy of playing fun team sports and playing games with people again. I want to do dance again and feel the thrill of my body moving and expressing itself to the beat of a song and the melody of it. I want to be more powerful physically and be less weak. And that'll help my health as well... Because I get sick a lot and I struggle and I'm Literally Getting Physically Weaker!!!! And that's Bothering Me!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED TO LIFT WEIGHTS SO I CAN LIFT WAVER UP!!!!!!

[intergalacticwhales]

I would like to stop looking at old pictures of myself and feeling this painful feeling of "why do I not look like this anymore"...

My psych increased my brain meds dosage, which made me gain weight and after cutting my dosage back down to the original dose, I'm down 2.5 pounds in a week. Also, I finally got over my fear of the scale despite my severe ED brain, I'm so proud of myself lol
