I struggle with restrictive eating patterns, orthorexia and severe anxiety towards food. Thanks to this and other factors, I developed methane SIBO (IMO) and food intolerance. Nowadays, I can't eat gluten nor dairy and also, my hunger signals are totally dead. I'm never hungry. I don't have any hunger cues. Of course, due to treatment, I'm supposed to have three meals a day and some snacks, so I do. But I feel full after the first bite and always end up feeling sick, full and/or uncomfortable. I eat anyways, and I sometimes eat mindlessly. I don't struggle with b~~~~inge eating, but I always end up feeling like I experienced one of those episodes (it has happened in the past). I can't help but feel so guilty and self-conscious and this intense aversion to food. I write down the things I had and send it to my boyfriend every night, and he always says that I'm doing good and it's a normal amount of food. But still I feel like I'm overeating... did you experience something like this? How do you practice this more intuitive, conscious eating? And were you able to resurrect your hunger cues? Thank you and be safe.

Fe de erratas: quise poner CORRIENTES Y MEDRANO

Prueba de fuego. Luego de mucha búsqueda y consulta en este grupo, última y aparentemente definitiva: qué onda la zona de Corrientes y Medrano para vivir? Para el día a día, precios, llegar tarde de noche, salir temprano a la mañana. Quiero toda la data que tengannn

Me mudaré próximamente por la zona de Almagro Sur, y quería saber qué tal la zona entre Sánchez de Loria y Bulnes. Aprecio opiniones de gente del barrio. Muchas gracias!

Hi! So, as the title mentions I'll be away for work for two weeks.

I have two options for my cats: leaving them alone at home having someone check on them and attend to their needs everyday or move them to my mother's house for the time I'm away. My cats are very clingy and they like to be around people. They usually get sick when being left alone even if someone checks on them everyday. But also, I'm afraid they'll get sick anyway out of the stress of moving houses? I know no one can know them as I do, but I really wanted to see what other cat owners think of this dilemma. They're very special cats, they trust people right away and they are very social. When I moved on my own they had no problem adapting to my new apartment, but yk I was there with them. Now I'll be away and I have a few days to make the adaptation by staying over with them. My mum works so they'll be alone during the day in this much bigger house than my two bedroom apartment. But at least there'll be someone around the house. Also I know it'll be easier for her not having to go to my house everyday.

So what do you think? I think I'm just looking for reassurance bc I'm very anxious about my kitties. They're like my children lol

I'm 31F and my boyfriend is 40M. We've been together for 8 months now and everything is going amazing, honestly, such a wonderful bond and relationship we have. We are very good at supporting and being there for each other. Since we met of course, we opened up more and more and eventually we discussed our relationship with food. I have struggled with eating disorders since my teenage years and my experience so far is that it really doesn't leave you, you just cope and learn how to live a better life.

My partner struggled with drug addiction in his young adulthood and he told me his way out was food. Drugs were destroying his life so he traded that for food. He used to be a professional soccer player in a local team and nowadays he's a dancer (as I am, we met working in a dance company), so he's maintained a good shape in the course of his life. He always looked younger than he is (of course, he's not that old), he still has dark and thick hair, clear skin and a good physical form. He's also not a sedentary person at all, has a job that keeps him active, although he's less active now than other times.

He's been dealing with difficult personal issues for the last 3 months and things got worse. His binge eating is worse, and it's starting to take a toll on his body: he's lost some physical shape, he looks tired and suddenly gaunt, his hair is turning gray, he's lost resistance. And to confirm all of this, he got a blood test done and his cholesterol came back high. He looks perfect for me, it's not about how he looks of course. I think he's the most handsome, perfect guy. But I'm very worried about him.

I just want to know how to support him better. We've discussed this, talked about this; I helped him find a conductual therapist through my therapist and he has sessions with him every week. We talk about our eating issues and he mentions it as binge eating and food addiction, so he's aware and recognizes it. We both are working on breaking through and bettering our communication patterns, since we both find it hard to reach out when we struggle. I thought maybe we could hit the gym together, but it's hard because we both have our jobs and our lives, we don't live together. I'm willing to make accomodations... but he's just a little unmotivated.

We eat mostly healthy when we're together, but it's what he does when he's alone that worries me. He has a lot of binging episodes. He has notes on his phone saying "watch out with the food!", trying to motivate himself; he's really trying and it breaks my heart to see him struggle. He's managing very stressful things right now. I even thought about moving in with him, for a while at least. I try to ask him daily how he's doing, ask him directly about how he's doing with food but without being pushy or jugdey, and he always receives it and thanks me for asking, but I don't think he always tells me. He recently had a consultation with his old psychiatrist and she said she didn't think he needed any medication. I'm really worried that no professional has realized how deep this issue is so far, or that he's unable to convey the information accordingly. I want to have him with me for a very long time, and this blood results have me on my nerves.

Any ideas on how could I support him better?

EDIT: He's also a heavy smoker, and I am too. Maybe I should work on that to help him too.

TL;DR: My partner is struggling with binge eating disorder and I want to support him the best way I can. Any advice?

So - I have very thin straight hair and when I wake up, the parting of my head is always messed up and with a swirl in the back. I can't comb it nor brush it back to normal, not even if I wet my hair :/ I end up washing my hair almost every day because of this and I don't think it's the healthiest.

I usually braid it to sleep and that seems to help a little but my hair ends up with this weird waves.

Any tips on how to fix this? I have a shooting tomorrow so if you have any DIY solutions that would help. Thanks!

We met at a dance company! We're both professional dancers.

We've been together for 7 months now. Everything's been so wonderful! We get along so well. It's such a deep, emotional connection - everything just flows! Also, it all happened so smoothly. We had to rehearse a parteneur number, we would hang out at his place or at mine. We started having conversations before and after practicing, we started getting to know each other, besides of the time we spent rehearsing and training with the company. Before we realized, we started caring for each other, chatting every day.

I've always dated with a long-term vision, and we connected in that way too. We say, 10 years from now we could be married, we could have a child together, we could be travelling - all this things that I've always wanted for my life. And also, we have the same career, which is so important working in the artistic field. We back each other up, we support each other, we are there for the other and are always able to talk through every issue. He says to me, 'I know you're young and your mind could change in a few years. But I'm willing to take the risk. At least you know I'm less likely to change my mind', and it's all very sweet.

We know that life can get in the way, that a million things could happen - but we're very happy right now and project to still be this way in the long-term ❤️
