Just stop doomscrolling instagram and comparing yourself to girls who have gotten surgery

I don't do either, I used to look at girls at my work who were skinny as hell though

>>23050
Chubby girls look good though

I'm not chubby, but they were even skinnier than me. I feel like a fridge compared to them bc of my arm fat.

I also want to lose weight; the difference is that, right now, I’m fat. There have been times in the past when I followed very intense diets and did a lot of strength training, and I managed to reach a reasonable weight. I think that for most of my life, I’ve always wanted to lose weight, but I’ve always ended up gaining it back, it really sucks

it's natural for humans to fast, wild animals do it when they are sick. i subscribe to the explanation that digestion is quite the strain on the body and a short vacation from it gives the body the space to do some maintenance.

i do something similar with juice fasting. once or twice a year i don't eat for a couple of days (last times i did it it was exactly 2 weeks) and only consume the juice i made myself from real fruit. i like it because i get a lot of the benefits of fasting but i don't feel hungry or exhausted.

This isn't the point of my post. The point of my post is I'm wondering if I even have an eating disorder if I can't arse myself to lose weigh most of the time

eating disorder is a modern description. someone came up with this term very recently and before you blindly accept the validity of this concept you might want to investigate if this thing you were clearly culturally trained to worry about could have been around for much longer and exists from other points of view. because then you'd be inclined to wonder if this perspective of "eating disorder" even makes sense in contrast to better concepts that describe the situation more clearly and more accurately.

i am saying when you wonder if you have an eating disorder, find out what the people who invented the term believe to be "orderly" eating.

find out how people eat and why and compare it to how you are eating.

I watch a lot of food related content both normal and disordered and I eat like a normal person pretty much. I tried eating low calorie foods that "trick" you into feeling full or so the ed people said, but it doesn't work on me.
I don't eat like a pig but low calorie versions of food mostly taste disgusting or bland.

>tried eating low calorie foods
>low calorie

other then calorie (which measures how good something burns), what else could be important about a food when it comes to the way it affects the weight of your body? i have way more stupid questions that i hope you bother to think about: like what is food?

>I eat like a normal person pretty much.
that means you look at what other people are eating and mimic them and let them dictate reality to you. that's unfortunate.

>juice fasting
yep, the wellness schizo is back

Inspiring going from almost ana to normal weight goals
