as much of a PSA as this is a meme lol. don’t seek dietary advice from randos on the internet. everyone is different and the advice you see from @bonerfart@lemmypiss.xyz on !memes can be dangerous and should be taken with a grain of salt (metaphorically, not a dietary recommendation 😜). instead consider one or both of:
a) going to a health professional
b) seeking out and joining a trustworthy community (online or irl) who back themselves with medical research
Yeah weight is hard. I managed to lose a lot, but it’s a daily struggle. It’s hard to find self acceptance and love yourself where you’re at when your body feels so wrong. I don’t judge anyone by their weight, but it’s sure hard to direct that same acceptance toward myself. Sounds like you’re doing well, though.
I’m lucky that I like almost anything, so that makes me eat a lot of different things. I buy cheap stuff in bulk, but it’s not often the same things. Fresh foods are hard because they expire, so I buy a lot of foods that have a long shelf life such as carrots and potatoes. And I make my own frozen meals to take to work, including cheap frozen veggies which are still nutritious.
My husband has ADHD, and I find that he often has to eat different foods than I do. If he’s not craving something, he can’t tolerate it. He struggles more than I do, even with my heavy restrictions on what I can eat.
Yeah same here, but I’m at a weight where I’m exceeding weight limits of things like ladders, furniture, etc. And I’m in terrible physical shape on top of all that. It’s really more of a “tactical” thing for me at this point. Just gotta get it done.
Thank you. Could be better, could be a lot worse. I’m still a social disaster.
Me too. The other day I made like half my meals for the entire summer in one giant cook.
You remind me a lot of a discord buddy I have. We always talk about it via DM because it’s a sensitive subject for a lot of people and so easy to slip into disordered eating. It can feel like it takes so long to lose weight that you feel like it’s never going to happen, but eventually you’ll get there.
I always prepare my frozen meals on a weekly basis, most often on Sundays. Honestly I can often get everything I need for my meals at the dollar store.
