Post your BMI

This isn’t specifically for something like anorexia since excessive exercise can be a symptom, but just for mental health in general, this is my viewpoint and why I encourage it so much

There's no we. It's just you, comrade. And when I talk about them as a group, even if you're a part of that group, it doesn't mean I mean you. You can take it that way. It's an unfortunate consequence of strongly identifying with a larger group. People get mad when the stickers they labeled themselves with get criticized.

More to the point, if you want to keep your sticker, you have to have a nicer opinion regarding trans/crazy degenerates like myself, okay?

well, I can either become white noise as a nazi, and you'll pity me or I can stay a left winger and you can hate me.

Choice is simple.
You're just confused.

Sounds crazy, but you can suck on something like a button, and it'll really help with having something in your mouth. And it's a lot like chewing, it tricks your stomach into thinking you're eating things.

As far as snack goes, anything that crunch leaves you extra satisfied so carrots are great, pretzels are also great. Anything too sugary might increase your cravings, avoid!

Good luck, Cecily, on your attempt.
You miss all the shots you odn't take so good on you for trying, for succeeding.

Yeah I could def see that

Damn props to your willpower being able to snack on carrots. I couldn’t do that

For years I have forced myself to eat a full plate of steamed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, corn, peas mix usually) every single night. It tastes like ass. Always. I call it my “medicine” and I just force it down. When I had coronavirus last year I was expecting to lose my sense of taste and smell since that was an extremely common symptom. I remember thinking “I’m going to eat even MORE veggies than I usually do, because I won’t be able to taste them. I’m going to eat veggies all fucking day!” So a few days into the virus I made a plate of veggies during the day. Started eating them, tasted just as shitty as they always did. Turns out I was one of the few who never lost taste and smell with the virus [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I never was big on pretzels but I snack on nuts. I get those habanero flavored almonds and some lightly salted mixed nuts. It’s a healthy kind of fat but high calorie, so it’s easy to go too hard on them. I try to only do a small handful in a day

Thanks! I had this 1500 calorie peanut butter shake last night that was pretty good. Vegetables / fruits do not fill the void inside me properly. I'm giving myself a pass for like a week or so to eat like shit before I reign it in. Post-acute withdrawal is a bitch and so am I for the next 1-3 months lol.

[Cecily]

TY unsung! I am gonna put on weight. No getting around it. Right now, my focus is to stabilize my mental health and get my lungs back to baseline functioning. Day 4-5-6 night time withdrawals were BAD. Hopefully I stopped before irreversible damage. Coughing a lot lately. Interesting thing is it feels better to breath now, so yeah just did a sprint for as long as I could. Gonna keep trying to do that daily and build up some endurance. I have a pretty safe 1.8 mile block nearby I use for walking at night. Just gonna use that route for running and hopefully I'll be able to do laps before the weather gets cold this year.

Cecily, good job seriously.
But don't run too quickly, right now. Your lungs are in-between, give them time to heal before you start treating them like shit through massive exercise when they are clearly weak.

I'll give you a trick, for vegetables.
Cut them so they are ready for ingestion.
What you intend to eat today, leave outside the fridge and marinate them in good olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper... and some sugar.

Most vegetables will start secreting water and drinking salt, sugar and pepper, adding an intense flavour. Guys I'm a chef if you have food questions ask.

About the crunch leaving you satisfied, it's because it's mental: your brain heard the crunch, your mouth felt it and your stomach enjoys it. Triple threat but there's a bunch of things that can crunch!
Very thinly sliced baguette will create "croutons" which you can turn into croutons in the oven with olive oil or in a pan, with butter and fresh herbs. or no herbs.

And cover that shit in peanut butter.
(yeah I know I explained how to make fancy toast)


But since sugar is the problem, not say, fat like butter, you can also make madelaines which are very. fucking. easy to make and taste like butter.

However, my favourite crunch that is very easy to make, is pan fried buttery philo pastry.

You can buy the frozen package.
I use a round cookie cutter to shape it round like a cookie and throw butter in a pan.
I wait for the butter to brown a little and toss my philo pastry circles in there.
They puff.
They crunch.
They taste of golden butter.

No sweet.
Last a few days in a container.
Let me know if you need easy / cheap ideas to combat this.

I recently stopped smoking weed and I feel you.
(i would ix with tobacco and 25 years of this took its toll and I was coughing a lot and three months in, I run now. Like I haven't done that since my service)(but I fast walk yet now I fast walk even faster)

[unsunghero]

Nice tip!

This is sad, but I have literally none of those ingredients. I don’t know anything about cooking, a sandwich is about the extent I can make lol [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My veggies I just buy frozen in a bag and nuke them in a microwave. They do have a tiny bit of sugar, even though they are just as bag of frozen veggies with no sauce. Something like 2-3g. I never realized this until I saw a documentary talking about how they sneak sugar into everything these days. The documentary said “go check your veggies, I bet they have sugar”. So I did and was like “no way, they do....”. That’s why I try to not have any candy or sweets (but I do cave sometimes!), because we are getting sugar secretly already from everything almost
