Okay let me explain. I am in recovery, still underweight but I am working on that with a fix meal structure of 3meals and 4 snacks (usually I am eating more than that but that’s the baseline).

I am 100% motivated for recovery and I take my meal plan really serious so I would never skip a snack/meal but sometimes life gets in its way. On Tuesday I was on a train ride but there was an accident midway so my 20minute ride turned to a 6hour ride. I had no food with me and I got so so hungry. When I left the train I barely made it home I was so dizzy. I then had my normal dinner and snack and went to bed because it was already really late.

What happened the past two days is that my appetite totally skyrocketed, like I ate so so much food yesterday and today that I felt nauseous midway but still couldn’t stop. It feels like I am living in a constant panic attack and I am eating everything around.

I usually don’t have EH that much since I am eating a solid amount of calories per day but since Tuesday my body is completely freaking out.

Is it possible that I got too hungry again and my body might feels unsafe now because it got reminded of the times where I nearly starved myself to death?
I have no bad feeling about the amounts of food/calories I consume, just wondering if this “small” accident triggered such a heavy “trauma” response ?

Hallo Zusammen,

Ich habe mir vor kurzem mein erstes Rennrad gekauft nachdem ich 1,5 Jahre nur Rolle gefahren bin.
Nun würde mich interessieren, welche Verhaltensregeln/welche Etiquette es mit anderen Fahren gibt. Jede Sportart hat ja sowas wie ungeschriebene Regeln und Verhaltensweisen.

Ich würde mich nur ungern bei meiner Rennrad Community unbeliebt machen, weil ich gewisse Dinge einfach nicht weiß

Danke :)!

Hey Guys,

I stopped counting calories and restricting myself. But on some days I keep falling back into those behaviors. I noticed that everytime I start counting calories or thinking about restricting myself again, I end up eating a lot of stuff (idk if that’s binging or EH or whatever)

Is that common ?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to complete the Uber Pretzel today, so please wish me luck and if you want to distract me, my dms are open 😂🤝

Update: I finished it !!! Damn what a brutal fight. Been through every emotion and the last hour was just Zombie-Modus. Thanks for your support and ride on !!

ich sitze gerade an der Themenfindung für meine Bachelorarbeit im Bereich Kommunikationswissenschaft und komme bei der Auswahl des Themas nicht wirklich weiter.

Ich möchte eine quantitative Inhaltsanalyse durchführen und dabei untersuchen, ob sich die Berichterstattung zwischen einem eher konservativ eingeordneten Medium (z. B. WELT) und einem eher links/liberal eingeordneten Medium (z. B. Süddeutsche Zeitung) unterscheidet. Theoretischer Hintergrund wäre die News-Bias-Forschung.

Meine Idee wäre, Artikel anhand von Kategorien wie z. B. Tonalität, Darstellung von Akteuren, Themenframes usw. zu codieren und anschließend deskriptiv zu vergleichen.
Mein Problem ist die Themenwahl. Ich brauche ein Thema, bei dem ich eine ausreichende Anzahl an Artikeln bekomme (mindestens ca. 100–150 Artikel) und das gleichzeitig gesellschaftlich/politisch polarisiert ist.

Aktuell überlege ich zwischen:
Migrations-/Asylpolitik
Vorteil: sehr viele Artikel, stark politisiert
Problem: sehr großes Themenfeld und schwer einzugrenzen

Bürgergeldreform / Bürgergelddebatte
Vorteil: klare politische Konfliktlinie (Sozialstaat, Leistung, Kosten, Absicherung)
Problem: Ich bin unsicher, welcher Zeitraum sinnvoll wäre

Heizungsgesetz / Klimapolitik
Vorteil: starke Polarisierung
Problem: eventuell zu ereignisbezogen
Ursprünglich wollte ich die Berichterstattung zur „Stadtbild“-Äußerung von Friedrich Merz untersuchen, habe aber festgestellt, dass viele Artikel direkte dpa-Übernahmen waren und daher wahrscheinlich wenig geeignet sind, um redaktionelle Unterschiede zwischen Medien zu untersuchen.

Meine Fragen:
Welches Thema eignet sich eurer Meinung nach am besten für eine quantitative Inhaltsanalyse mit News-Bias-Fokus?
Würdet ihr eher ein konkretes Ereignis oder eine längerfristige politische Debatte untersuchen?
Wie würdet ihr den Zeitraum und die Grundgesamtheit definieren?

Ich bin gerade etwas unsicher, in welche Richtung ich gehen soll und wäre für Erfahrungen oder Tipps sehr dankbar.

Once again, I stopped counting calories (something I’ve tried many times before). But this time, I also stopped following my “set portion sizes.” Usually, I would only allow myself a fixed amount of certain foods at specific times, and only if I had eaten enough “healthy” food during the day.

It never felt like real restriction, because it was more like a compromise between me and my eating disorder. For example, if I didn’t count calories or weigh my food, I would at least allow myself my set portions, which my eating disorder believed were “enough.”

With this method, I still had at least one or two binges per week. It was basically a binge-restrict cycle.

This time, however, I started eating as much as I want at each meal. And it turns out I can actually feel satisfied and stop eating. One of my biggest fears was that I would never be able to stop eating and would stay hungry all the time. In the past, I often couldn’t focus on anything else because I was constantly thinking about food or trying to distract myself from eating.

But now, for example today, I had dinner, felt full afterwards, and spent the rest of the evening just relaxing without wanting to eat anything. After binges in the past, I usually panicked because I was afraid of weight gain and of developing binge eating. But I’ve realized that this wasn’t the real issue. I simply wasn’t satisfied because I was still eating according to my eating disorder’s rules, not according to what my body actually needed.

I’ve gained a lot of trust in my body over the past few days, and that feels amazing.

Hey community,

I have a question because my hunger and fullness cues are so inconsistent.

I am in active recovery but still underweight. I eat a healthy amount of food (4,2-4,5K) but I also have to mention that I do struggle with exercise addiction which isn’t part of my ED because I am not doing it to earn food or burn calories off. It’s linked to my AuAdhs and OCD patterns. I eat 6-7 meals throughout the day but my hunger and fullness cues are so inconsistent.

On the one day I am struggling so much to hit my calorie goal because I am so damn full and on the other day I hit 3,5k by just 10am because I can’t get enough and it might be extreme hunger idk and on those days I easily eat 6-8k like it’s nothing.

Can someone please help me. It’s so confusing and I am so scared to develop binge eating or to never be able to not count calories.
Sometimes I still do restrict on certain food items and usually on the next day I have these never ending craving and then I eat everything that’s insight

A general rant about how brutal mental illness can be.

I’ve been struggling with anxiety, OCD, an eating disorder, and depression for over a decade, and sometimes I just can’t cope with the feeling that I’ve missed out on so many chances and opportunities because of it.

My class is currently on an excursion in China, and I’m sitting here at my parents’ house because I couldn’t go. The anxiety and OCD were too much. I’ve missed so much in my life because of these illnesses. They’ve nearly killed me, and yet I still find myself wondering whether any of it is actually valid.

Why can’t I just go on a trip to China? Why can’t I even pretend to be okay? What if it’s not really that bad? What if I just stopped being such a dramatic jerk?

And then, the next moment, I’m on the verge of a meltdown because something in my schedule shifts by ten minutes. Or I’m crying at dinner because I can’t decide what I want to eat.

I look in the mirror and ask myself: Why can’t I just be normal? What the hell is actually wrong with me?

Mental illness has made me lonely, sick, and unhappy. It has taken so much from me. And yet, somehow, I still can’t let go of it.

Nothing special but I did my first ever 5 hour indoor ride today and I am fucking proud of myself.
Whatever you want to achieve, believe in yourself you can do it :)!

Hey guys,

I am about to buy my first bike and I can’t decide between these two options:

Cube Nuroad Pro FE for 1.199€

Or

Cube Nuroad Ex for 1.399€

I want to use the bike for regularly 4-5 hour rides and for light bikepacking trips e.g. only some days

I really enjoyed the Cube Nuroad EX when I tried it out but I think the Nuroad Pro FE has the better price - coast range even though it looks quite ugly

I actually wanted to go for the regular Pro or the Nuroad Race but they are not available at my local shop and I don’t want to wait too long.

What are your suggestions?

Thank your!

Hi zusammen,
ich stehe gerade vor der Entscheidung zwischen dem Cube Nuroad Pro, Nuroad Race und Nuroad EX und würde gerne eure Erfahrungen hören – besonders von Leuten, die die Bikes wirklich gefahren sind oder direkt verglichen haben.
Kurz zu meinem Einsatzbereich:
Ich suche ein Gravelbike für eine Mischung aus Alltag, Fitnessfahrten und längeren Wochenendtouren. Bikepacking ist geplant, aber maximal als mehrtägige Tour. Gelände: hauptsächlich Schotter, Waldwege und etwas Straße.
Die Unterschiede, die ich bisher gefunden habe:

Nuroad Pro (~1.100 €)
Shimano CUES 1x11
eher Einsteiger-orientiert
etwas schwerer / günstigere Laufräder
sehr starkes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
Mein Händler hat es direkt in der FE Version

Nuroad Race (~1.300–1.500 €)
Shimano GRX (je nach Modelljahr 1x12 oder 2x12)
deutlich sportlicher als das Pro
bessere Schaltperformance im Gelände
hochwertigere Komponenten / oft leichtere Laufräder
wirkt wie der „Sweet Spot“ zwischen Preis und Performance

Nuroad EX (~1.400–1.600 €)
Shimano GRX 1x12
nochmals hochwertigere Ausstattung
leichtere / bessere Laufräder (je nach Version)
insgesamt sehr rundes, sportliches Setup
etwas teurer, dafür „fertiger“ für lange Touren

Meine Fragen an euch:
Lohnt sich der Sprung vom Pro → Race → EX im echten Alltag spürbar?
Ist der Unterschied zwischen CUES und GRX wirklich so deutlich im Gelände?
Macht das Race für viele eigentlich am meisten Sinn als Mittelweg?
Oder ist das EX langfristig die bessere Investition, wenn man dabei bleibt?
Oder reicht das Pro für die meisten Gravel-Einsätze völlig aus?
Ich versuche gerade herauszufinden, ob ich eher auf Preis-Leistung (Pro) gehen soll oder direkt in Richtung GRX-Setup (Race/EX), weil ich das Bike länger behalten will.
Danke euch schon mal für eure Meinungen! 🚴‍♂️

Hey guys,

I want to ask if anyone else experienced that or if that’s normal phenomenon in recovery.

Everytime I increase my calorie intake for a few days I am starting to feel way more hungry than I used to time with less calories. Also to food obsession and food noise is getting so much more powerful. At the same time I feel so much more tired and dizzy like not the dizziness of eating too less but a type of dizziness like extrem fatigue. I also experience stiff muscles and as I said an extreme desire to eat and to increase my calories even more.

Can someone help please ?

It’s a sunny, warm spring day out. I see anyone out there enjoying a drink in the sun, playing with their kids, reading and still I feel shit. It’s like the depressive stone is ten times heavier in me. I feel paralyzed, detached from the world. I want to snuggle in oversized clothes in my bed, staring out of the window and want to cry

I hate this. Where is all the joy gone
