hello!

i bought my dream pants online, but they’re non stretch. the measurements on the pants all match mine except for the thighs, which need 5 inches more to match the widest point on mine. when i put them on, i can’t pull them past my mid thigh. i was doing some research on gussets, but most tend to add only 1-2 inches of room. could it be possible to add 5? i don’t even have matching fabric, so i’d have to use one that’s very visible on the inside. hopefully with the waist attachments it wouldn’t be visible.

hey guys, this year has been rough for me as i’ve gained 20 lb solely through binge eating. my appearance has started to reflect this, and as a major reminder to what i’ve done, staring at myself for more than 5 minutes triggers panic attacks.

first of all: does anyone else struggle with this? i feel crazy sometimes, so i ended up covering or removing the mirrors where i live to avoid seeing myself. is this a good coping mechanism, or does anyone else have better tips to calm triggers like this? ill have to look at myself eventually, so it’s not sustainable, but im sure changing my thought patterns when i see myself could help.

i’m totally new to asking for help and its never been this bad before, so any advice at all would help. thank you :-)

hey guys! thanks for taking time to look at this if you see it.

i’m 5’6/168 cm
170 lb/77kg
my BMR is 1450
i’m 18
i’m a girl.

right now, it’s summer break for me before college starts. it’s been rough so i binged to cope.

i started out summer at 162 lb and gained 8 lb just from pure binging. i was upset that i let myself go this bad! (for context, ive been 150lb/60kg my entire life. my senior year of high school also involved a ton of binge eating).

so, i started on a calorie deficit. 1400 calories, 1 hour in the gym 2x a week, and walking 10k steps a week. i got on the scale after two weeks expecting to see big changes, and i gained a pound?? i must have been eating 2500 calories a day before this. i don’t understand how such a drastic life change yields no results. maybe that one pound was water weight, but that means i would’ve maintained around the same weight.

this news really devastated me. maybe there were hidden calories, but at the very least i was eating below my TDEE. because of this, i binged again— three days straight this time, and i checked the scale and im the same weight.

i’m lost on how to continue. maybe i needed to stay consistent for longer to see results, but i feel totally devastated. if anyone could help, or provide any support, id be grateful. thanks again for taking the time to read this :,-)
