It’s silly but for me it’s a huge win! I have autoimmune CIU and ever since it started the only fruit I could eat without a reaction was apples. It was so sad, I love fruit, especially Christmas oranges and I’ve been so sad I couldn’t have any. But I tried one today and no reaction! In a few weeks I might try some watermelon!
They decided to eat it
Can you guess who the spare human is?
Me: I have anxiety, I can hit that sitting still.
In my ongoing quest to find a medical practitioner who doesn’t just trivialize my weight struggle, I spoke to this doctor today. He said the reason I’m not losing weight has to be because I’m not actually exercising when I say I am. He told me if my heart rate isn’t 140 it’s not going to do anything. I showed him my current heart rate on my watch after I’d been sitting in the waiting room for 30 minutes (so fully at rest). He did not find it amusing.
If baby, why not baby sized?
I Biscuit has been ackused on anudder crime! Meowmy sez dis pikshurr “ebidents” of mine crime. I tells her it waz Flopping Fishie who did da crimes butt she no beliebe me! She is alwiz doing da fawlse alligators. I needs an pawyer to diffend mine good name!
Don’t worry, I fed them before I went for my blood test :)
These pictures are a year apart. You can see how much less puffy my face is, which is great. But I’ve only lost 20lbs, which is really frustrating, and I take measurements so I know for sure I’ve lost nothing from my waist and only 1inch from my thigh. For context I’m morbidly obese (BMI is 40.6) and the weight is heavily concentrated in my belly. I’m trying to get on a GLP-1 but I live in a highly misogynistic area and PCOS is seen as a reproductive disorder, all other symptoms are somehow my fault (for being a woman and therefore inherently unable to know how to take care of myself).
Edited to add: I’m in Canada so getting a GLP-1 through telehealth isn’t an option unfortunately
An ongoing saga where Biscuit (orange) thinks him and Bean are besties but Bean thinks Biscuit should be returned to the rescue.
I’ve been trying to lose weight for almost two years now. I do IF, 1200-1400 calories per day, no sugar, 5000-8000 steps a day. I’ve lost 19lbs.
I’m at a point where all I can think about is bread. I don’t want to eat anything else. Everything else is just something I put into my body because I’m hungry, but I don’t really want it. I just want to eat bread. And for clarification I do eat bread, just in moderation.
I think I’m just exhausted from doing everything “right” and seeing very little result. I’m tired guys.
This is mostly just me being salty, I am fully aware that being able to have any ice cream on a hot day is a privilege. But since I’m allergic to fruit, nuts, and chocolate this is pretty much my only option. It’s just hard when the rest of my family is having all the fun flavours and this is all I can have. There is nothing wrong with vanilla ice cream but it wouldn’t be my first pick (looking at you peanut butter brownie swirl).
I was only diagnosed 3 months ago so I’m still getting used to my new normal and I’m definitely missing all the foods I can no longer eat. I’m hoping it gets easier.
I had to explain to my 17 year old co-worker why we “hang-up” the phone when all we’re doing is pressing a button. I had to describe what phones with receivers looked like because she had never seen one before, and didn’t know they could be attached to walls.
I’m in my 30s but I have honestly never felt older than I did right then.
We were out in the yard going for a walk (in his harness) and he found a stick that was as long as he is. He carried it in his mouth the whole way and insisted on bringing it inside. When I throw it he runs and brings it back. I remain convinced I adopted a dog.
