My dog usually just looks confused when he looks in a mirror. What does this mean?! Is the confusion I take equal to the confusion I make?

It's a type of tampon!

Hello, necromancy! PLOT-TWIST: Stop your period with continuous birth control!

There's men, transwomen, etc. all on that site. It's literally, "These are people. This is what they look like." I've got my own issues with the site (re: women putting themselves as shapes they may not be, the emphasis on a certain set of body types that don't apply to everyone, clear sufferers of EDs posting pictures,…

Hm, not enough people fall into your oats post? A good tip is to not throw out a whole bunch of troll threads at once -- too obvious. Unless, of course, you're just posting for the thrill of internet attention. Then, well... I believe that edges on spam.

Omg, it's you.

Citation pls.

No.

Girl, PINEAPPLE DIGESTS YOU. http://blogs.unimelb.edu.au/sciencecommunication/2012/10/07/the-flesh-eating-pineapple/ (OP, too much fresh pineapple always leaves me with the worst stomach cramps, too. Grilling/cooking/steeping it must help reduce that enzyme).

Just eat less of it. You don't have to give up burritos or beer. Just eat and drink less than you have been, and optimally, move more as well.

We perceive what we want to perceive. You saw mocking. We all saw encouragement for a healthier amount of calories and an emphasis on slower, sustainable weight loss.

I love this. I also totally creep on you everytime I see you in the forums. You're one of my "Eat more to lose" and "LBM 4lyfe" idols. I'm hoping to one day reset my metabolism enough to eat that much and lose 1 lb a week! 1 lb a week would be amazeballs to me!

:blushing: :smooched:

I did. I don't want to keep baiting you, but I'm really, really guessing you didn't actually read the results of the study. Go ahead. Read them. (Nor do you seem to understand the necessity of gaining as much weight as healthily possible as quickly possible here).

Did you read what you just linked... or what you even just quoted?

Well, coming from the queen, who wouldn't be?!

Yes? :ohwell: Being under a doctor's care and being treated doesn't mean everything is necessarily in working order :frown:

OT here, but that's not fair at all: Any thyroid condition makes losing weight difficult if it's not fully managed (even hyper, for some people!). Because your experience has been smoother than others doesn't mean Hashimotos doesn't make weight loss difficult, especially when unexplained weight gain and/or difficulty…

Well, that response is certainly not an emotional retort. Sorry your knowledge of calories is limited to TDEE calculators. It's okay, most people don't ever need to know the intricacies that come with EDs, metabolic conditions, etc. it's just not okay to discover someone has one of those and still attempt to advise them in…

As others said, it puts strain on the heart which is generally one of the first organs compromised from severe deficits and undereating. Brain and heart tissue are often the first shed, as they require so many calories to keep running. Exercise in general outside of slow walking, etc. is usually recommended to be halted…

Did you magically come in here after I tried to defend other users with hearts in the right places? More goes into play with eating at recovery; TDEE is not a hard and fast rule for everyone, hence why morbirdly obese people can get away with eating even below their BMR, while very underweight people need a great deal…

It was simply the way it was phrased (the parenthesis threw me off).

Even strong, professional swimmers have drowned...? You have very poor truisms.

*Sigh* And here comes an outrightly explicit comment urging OP to eat less than she possibly should, as Tayloray discussed. Your needs are different than a recovering anorexic, though OP's question did technically start broad as to who DOES eat 3000k.

A few in this thread has become "several," which is why I spoke up. I didn't say doctors as clueless, I said other users; I interpreted your initial statement as saying the people recommending doctors were clueless (which is fine). Most doctors are clueless about nutrition in general, unfortunately. That being said, there…

Damn girl, you did look good. You must have great LBM. I'm your exact height and looked awful a full 10lbs lower than you when I was my highest. Get it girl (and congrats on the baby!).

TDEE is certainly altered from someone with an ED, but no one is saying to her "Eat less than you are currently," which would be restrictive. People telling her to go to a doctor is perfectly acceptable, and being clueless about EDs is acceptable, too; it's good for people to be aware of conditions, especially on a fitness…

We must be reading very different ED recovery posts.

As others have said, waist training DOES work. You can, even without diet and exercise, create a certain shape by literally warping your body, including the organs, your ribs, etc. Dita von Teese is a famous example of a waist trainer, and she's literally worn a corset almost everyday (if not everday) since she was 18.…
