I Have A Friend Whose Mom Has Been Struggling With A4a All Her Life. She Believes Ppl Shouldn't Weigh

my bf knows i'm tring to lose weight and shi and he told me last night something like "yeah and when you're skinny..." abt cuddling or so

I was pissing my bf off for the giggles, and he was like "yk I'm gonna go get lunch later, right? What if I eat your food before I get home."

He was obviously joking, but he doesn't know that I acc wouldn't mind lmao. An excuse to skip the meal

Maybe I'm just balls deep into my £d but I don't get the hype of having 3 meals a day. I understand ppl who have it because they legit need it to function (esp while you're alr struggling w an £d and splitting your calories throughout the day works best for you), and ppl w/ a b.e.d. Finding comfort in food is a thing and I get it.

But otherwise... why are ppl so obsessed w/ eating? You don't constantly need to shove food in your mouth. You can just go on w/ your day, do whatever you have to do and eventually eat when you're actually, properly hungry.

I've been on and off fasting for 12 to 24 hours the past week and a half or so and low key, it's a vibe. I'm then more tolerant of what I eat, esp when I have one meal a day. My exams are starting on monday, so I might eat a bit more through the day (like, more than 1 meal).

As much as I love ana, I value my education more than anything.

tb to my teen years when i had a b.e.d. and was so stubborn to not let my mom see that her words regarding my body/weight affected me that I didn't try to lose weight

How do I fast?

I made a few post abt me fasting lately, and I thought I'd share how I do it. I typically start my fast after dinner, which is usually between 6 and 8 PM. I do it ibecause I don't feel hungry for the rest of the evening and just need to resist having snacks or such. I then go to bed, and wake up between 7 and 9 AM. That already brings me 12 hours further, which imo is a win.

I'm not really a breakfast person, so it's easy for me to just go on abt my day and get to about 14 to 15 hours. At around that mark, it is already noon and I start feeling hungry, so I have a coffee or a sugar free energy drink/soda. As the afternoon passes, it can become more tempting to buy food, but it helps to do my fast during days in which I have around 6 hours of classes, Between 8 and 4. I then don't have access to food as i please, and it's easier to post pone. When I get home, I can focus on just cleaning my room, taking a shower and getting my desk ready to study.

When it's time for me to break my fast, I'm not really specific with what I eat. I have a normal meal, anything between 500 and 900 cals. I still obv try to op for something nutritious with veggies and go for water or sugar free drinks. Throughout the day, I also do my best to get my steps in. It's worth noting here that I don't try to push myself, if I feel unwell. You shouldn't, either.

If there's any advice I'd be able to give next to this, if you're also getting used to fasts, is to start with aiming for 12 hours, then 14 to 16 and see how your body reacts as you go. Also see what works for you best, regarding on how you start your fast.

I've been eating more lately, I'm tweaking out so bad. I've been fasting for about... 10 hours now? I'm gonna get to 12, eat something so I don't feel like shite when I have my afternoon class and I'll do a 24 hour fast. I'm sick of my body.

I want to be able to look at an overweight person and feel relieved that I don't relate to them and wonder how it can get so bad.
