Dealt with Anorexia for about 12-13 years (I am now 26…)

My family forced me to recover using some uh… shoddy tactics. I went to visit them and prevented me from leaving until I gained weight.

I have been semi recovered for about 2 years and I just hate myself. I went from weighing >!94 lbs!< as a 22 year old to >!143 lbs!< as a 5’6 26 year old.

And all I want is to AT LEAST go back to >!120 lbs!<, the weight I was when I relapsed as an 18 year old.

I used to feel pretty knowing I worked out every day and was lean and skinny…

I’m a trans woman and I honestly feel so uncomfortable, unattractive and not feminine at all…

I want to lose weight but, I also live with my husband and lm unable to track calories or change what I eat without raising questions… I honestly feel like he deserves a skinnier wife.

How do I not hate myself after recovering? I’m so tired of looking like this.

I’m an audiovisual artist looking to get into microcontrollers for some new installation/sound work.... I have an UNO R4 Minima that I purchased a while ago but haven't done anything with...

My current needs are:

• Play at least 4 mono audio channels simultaneously (or 4 separate audio files at once)
• Read audio from an SD card
• Route audio to multiple speakers independently

Specifically, I’m wondering:

A. Is it possible to work with lossless formats (WAV/FLAC/etc.) or is MP3 basically the practical limit?

B. What’s the typical approach for multi-speaker / multi-channel output on arduino projects?

I have some programming experience, but very little experience with electronics/wiring so I'll need to figure that out.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If multichannel isn't possible for this, could I do a standalone Audio / Video player?

Hi everyone,

I’m an audiovisual artist looking to get into microcontrollers for some new installation/sound work, and I’ve been exploring the ESP32 ecosystem.

My current needs are fairly simple

What I’d like to do:

• Play at least 4 mono audio channels simultaneously (or 4 separate audio files at once)
• Read audio from an SD card
• Route audio to multiple speakers independently

Most of the tutorials I’ve found only cover playing a single MP3 file to one speaker, so I’m having trouble understanding how to scale this up.

Specifically, I’m wondering:

A. Is it possible to work with lossless formats (WAV/FLAC/etc.) on an ESP32, or is MP3 basically the practical limit?

B. What’s the typical approach for multi-speaker / multi-channel output on ESP32 projects?

I have some programming experience, but very little experience with electronics/wiring so I'll need to figure that out.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been wanting to lose some weight and get back to a place where I feel more comfortable in my body. I'm 26F 5'8 currently 143 lbs looking to get back to around 120...

The problem is that I’m a recovered anorexic, and calorie counting/tracking feels like a slippery slope for me mentally. A lot of weight loss advice seems centered around numbers, macros, deficits, apps, etc., and I’m worried about falling back into obsessive habits.

Has anyone here successfully lost weight without counting calories? If so, what approaches helped you stay balanced and healthy mentally while still making progress?
