Weight, What?

Health, Weight Loss, and education.

I joined tiktok and the misinformation is wild

Can I just say that I got on tiktok and realized how much bad and misinformed body image/body positivity/HAES/etc. information is out there? I'm just baffled. I'm recovering from a bad dietician. I'm recovering from HAES. I'm recovering from the toxic body positivity. I'm recovering from the Tess Holidays, the vergie tovars, and the assorted villains included in that group who instilled HAES in me. It's unhealthy, its dangerous, they don't know science and they are just saying things to make you feel okay with being unhealthy. I'm seeing the same type of 'dieticians' who are saying these false facts about weight loss and health on tiktok and it is so frustrating. These people are fucking vultures and they are feasting on all the bloated overweight carasses they are creating.

It's okay to know what you don't want to look like

Let me preface this by saying this isn't just a blatant 'ew fat' thing. I'm applying this to other aesthetic things as well. DONT's I know I don't want to have big arms, I don't want to have a wide muscular back, I don't want to have abs, I don't want boulder shoulders, I don't want a tapered waist. DO's I do want a muscular lower body I do want more defined calf muscles, I do want very muscular quads, I do want very muscular glutes, I do want very muscular hamstrings, I do want more tattoos, I do want to have clear skin. What goals do you have? OR what don't you want to look like? It doesn't have to be a body shaming thing, this is just how you feel comfortable, how you feel empowered, how you want to look.

Doctors on Social media and HAES

On my personal instagram I don't really follow anything thats about weight loss, etc. So, to see a Doctor talking about how we should change the verbage around weight gain (ugh...) Popping up on my explore page, was very annoying. I know it's because someone that I follow has followed him, but still. Even on a social media account that I've cultivated to be an escape from HAES...they still pop up. Now, my thing is... I always find it so interesting how these doctors/health professionals/etc. who are 'HAES Aligned' are always selling a product that targets the HAES/FA demographic. It seems blatantly obvious that there is a big portion of these medical professionals who don't have any right to speak on nutrition that are only active in the HAES sphere to make some money of the misinformed and often lost HAES/FA crowd. Have you seen any medical professional talking about HAES/FA that was also conveniently selling a book/'intuitive eating workbook'/podcast/etc. ??

My 240lbs fat self can't fucking stand Tess Holliday's lying, hypocritical, delusional, toxic and manipulative ass.

Yessssssssssss. Her being the face of the HAES/Fat acceptance/Body Positivity movement...really makes sense considering how trash she is. ***I think body positivity is great but I'm referencing how it's been hijacked by the HAES/FA crowd***

My stomach no longer folds over

I still have a ways to go, but my stomach no longer folds and hangs down in front of me anymore. There is still a belly there, but it's now officially smaller! I've been taking baths and moisturizing and there is this brand new area of skin that I haven't touched in 3 years that I just can't stop touching. I'm so pleased and proud.

Unhealed trauma will have you confuse attachment as connection, codependency as support, enmeshment as intimacy, lack of boundaries as vulnerability, trauma bonding as healing, and using others to fill your inner void as love.

So you don’t have to watch the video every time you need one of these hacks immediately:

1. If you feel nauseated, smell rubbing alcohol.

2. If you feel like throwing up, start humming.

3. If you have a runny nose, put your tongue to the roof of your mouth and press your thumb to your forehead for about 20 seconds.

4. If you have a headache, pinch the webbing between your fingers and rub it back and forth for about 1 minute.

5. If you’re lightheaded from standing up too quickly, clench your butt cheeks.

6. If your arm’s dead/has the pins and needles feeling, rock your head back and forth.

7. If you need to pee badly, think of sex to trick your brain and relieve the pressure.

8. If you have a migraine, stick your hands in ice water.

9. If you wanna calm your racing heart, blow on your thumb.

If you're lightheaded while standing up, opening and closing your fists is also something to do. Also try stretching before getting up!

(These are vasovagal syncope tricks, to get the blood pumping where it should be)

Thanks for adding another hack!

I used the humming one when I randomly started dry heaving today, and that shit worked so fast!👌🏼

A trick I have used often when I stand up too fast/start to see my vision black out is to quickly hold my hands up over my head.  A doctor taught me this, it has always helped!

Full body work outs are great but can also fall off a cliff.

Thats all.

You control your social media. Unfollow that person, 'see less of this', 'not interested', etc. Fine tune your social media, since it can effect your mental health.

I've been going through and selecting 'see less of this' / 'not interested' and it's really helped clear up my social media. Also, does someone KEEP POPPING UP... just block them. It's okay. If you spend a decent amount of time on social media, i highly recommend it.
