update

we’re entirely broken up and have been for a while now. I just want to say how much lighter I feel. I can do things without expecting the degradation and arguments followed soon after.

They’re a mess. They keep claiming they miss me and have lost so much since I’ve left. They think we’re going to get back together this summer.

i dont know what to do. 

[past-notpresent-blog]

So we’re taking a break. 

I don’t know if we’re going to get back together or fully break up. I don’t know which one i want

[past-notpresent-blog]

I was obsessed over you and you knew it. I wasn’t afraid to tell you how much i adored you and everything i wanted us to do together. I let you call me degrading words. I let you tell me how i was never going to reach my dream(s) and stopped trying as soon as you said it. I WAS WILLING TO LET YOU DESTROY MY FUCKING LIFE AND WELL-BEING AS LONG AS IT MADE YOU HAPPY

[gigglingmasks]

do you guys wanna see how bs ‘’’bmi’’’ is?

let’s start with a few pictures of my body shall we

(please ignore messy room i’m in the process of packing)

okay so that’s the body of someone that eats healthy, literally my fave food is broccoli, and i work out 5 days a week, you’d think i’m at ‘’’healthy weight’’’’ right?????

BITCH NOPE

that bitch telling me to eat 1500 - 1900 calories a day are you fucking joking??? that’s fucking starving myself and i’m not doing that. fuck you.

[love-geofffree-deactivated20190]

Bmi was never meant to be used for individuals; it’s only useful for talking in generalised terms about a large population and as a potential guide.

[gigglingmasks]

thank you for your input, not many people know that. but still, an official site such as the fucking nhs recommending a full grown woman to eat under 2,000 a day is not okay!!! (Especially considering the fact that it took into account my regular activity)

[athenadark]

calories are bullshit too

a calorie is the amount of energy released in laboratory conditions to heat water when it’s burned

so in the lab you have an instrument to burn the food and you measure how much of it it takes to heat water a set amount,

this does not in any way reflect how the body works

your body breaks down foods in different ways, for example monosaturated fats break down very slowly but processed sugars break down very fast

so by that logic something that is almost pure carbohydrate would be much worse than something that is almost pure monosaturated fat

not necessarily

oats, for example, are something like 95% fibre, meaning although they are pure sugar the body decides it’s not worth the bother of breaking them down so you get a small fraction of the sugar in the oat

so just going by carbohydrate [aka sugar] content doesn’t work properly either

a stick of butter has WAY more calories than a boiled potato but the stick of butter breaks down over several hours and keeps you satiated longer than that boiled potato that immediately floods your system with sugar, that triggers the response of too much store that for later, which causes a lack in your body which triggers the i’m hungry response

or the peanuts being high protein high fat are the reason why a snickers fills you up longer than a mars bar even though it might have a higher calorie count - because you’re full longer you eat less calories because you don’t go i’m hungry and eat another mars bar 

and that’s all assuming that every body processes food the exact same way

tl:dr the human body is a very complicated machine and using a very simple method of measuring energy intake is complete nonsense

[dislocated-cannibal]

i always knew the BMI was bullshit but having solid proof is reassuring and will def help with my recovery!!!

[mariposagal]

BMI is bullshit and I’m so mad the medical community is still using it

[fluffysatan-deactivated20190821]

I’m a varsity athlete (rugby, so let’s keep in mind i throw myself at other human beings who are often bigger than me) and my BMI is always ‘overweight’ except for the brief period last summer in which i was eating about 1300 calories a day to make myself hot (12/10 would not recommend).  right now my butt looks great, and I’m probably in the best shape ive ever been in.  muscle weighs more than fat.  BMI does not factor in body composition, which is a much better indication f health.  also beauty standards at totally unattainable so.  I’m 5′2″ and weigh more than most 6ft models because of the amount of muscle mass i carry and sure I’m a little squishy round the edges but I’m healthy. so BMI can kiss my ass

[swolerbear]

This post is so good, so pure, so important

Adding on to all of this up here, hormones play a significant role in fat storage. “Eat less and exercise more” is a fad diet. Losing fat, gaining fat, and maintaining weight has far more to do with hormonal composition in your body than anything. Change your hormonal composition, and your body’s fat distribution is subject to change. This is why dfab people often gain weight when undergoing menopause or after having a hysterectomy (gender confirmation surgeries typically excluded as the subjects are often on testosterone). This is why endocrine disorders are often associated with significant weight loss or weight gain.

Another example of the BMI being bullshit: many professional athletes have very low percentages of body fat while also having a high BMI.

Joe Rogan is considered obese by the BMI, regardless of his low body fat percentage.

Some more examples of actual Olympians:

The BMI is bullshit

[redgranola]

Quetelet, the guy who invented the bmi, literally influenced the eugenics and phenology movements. He developed this thing in a quest to quantify the perfect human (coincidentally white northern European and relatively slim, by his preference) by the numbers, labeling outliers as deviant - sound familiar? He wasn’t even a doctor, he was an astronomer and mathematician.

The bmi isn’t bullshit because it’s inaccurate, it’s bullshit because it’s built on fatmisia

[aerospace-agenda]

I think it’s worth pointing this out explicitly: Even at the most fundamental level, the equation used in BMI makes no sense, it is flawed from the word “go” on an analytical level. 

Because, well… mass divided by your height squared?

Even if there were a “standard” human body which you could measure “health” by how much your mass deviated from that (which… you can’t, because the human body is fucking complicated and a measly two overall variables does not begin to give enough information there), the formula to calculate that would scale with the cube of your height, otherwise it would be skewed wonkily at pretty much all points on the curve except where the cubed curve intersects the squared curve.

That is how mass works, it is proportional to volume, volume is proportional to height cubed. What BMI does is it finds a ratio between your surface area and your mass, normalized against some “standard” body. This is basically a meaningless quantity here, and just happens to generate a curve that lets you split up a population along the lines Quetelet apparently wanted.

This is why, in particular, relatively tall or short people’s BMI scores tend to have bizarre skewing; the formula simply doesn’t scale with height like it pretends to.

…and even if you did divide by height cubed, while that does have certain uses (it can be useful for measuring growth in certain contexts), it would still be rubbish for the purpose that the BMI is generally used for, because the human body is not that simple.

im tired of fighting. im tired of arguing. im tired of being told just how hated i am. 

yes, they tell me they love me and adore me sometimes

but its always right back to how much they hate me

[past-notpresent-blog]

I just got back from inpatient, and my girlfriend is fucking pissed at me. It’s not helping any that I restarted my meds so I’m not at a dose that helps properly.

They’re pissed because some girl flashed her tits at me, groped me, and kissed my cheeks. 

I didn’t want that?? She just came up and did that shit. I didn’t ask nor want any of it. It fucking triggered me majorly.
