When I was in high school the love of my life always said that he was a fat kid when he was younger so now that he was probably 130lbs he still felt like an inner fat person. Why does that continue to stick in my head. Is it because I internally relate to thinner people and wish that I did not feel like I was in the way all the time because other people know I am actually almost 200lbs. Like I just really do not feel like I am that over weight. I feel so much stronger than that. I mean I’ve worked out more than other thinner people but it’s not obvious. thin people might be told they aren't strong or that they could be more in shape but they will not told they are disgusting for the weight they are.
Who am I to say that thin people are not being told they are disgusting but I haven’t witnessed it and I’m just having a short little pity party.
fuck, i had a bowl of cheerios for breakfast and then almost all of a personal pizza. i feel disgusting and fat and my acne is acting up. also i fell like im going to throw up. i want to crawl into a hole or cut. feeling awful right now.
Avoiding trigger foods with IBD
When it comes to Crohn’s disease, not all foods affect people in the same way. For example, spicy food may be a problem for some, while others never have to hold the hot sauce.
That said, there some types of food you may want to steer clear of, particularly during a symptom flare-up. You always want to make sure you’re knowledgeable and informed about your own disease. Here’s a list of food most likely to be a problem.
Nuts.
Nuts are nutritious, but when eaten raw, most people with Crohn’s won’t reap the benefits of their healthy fats and high protein content. You can’t masticate them enough to get them to a consistency that’s really easy for the gut to digest. Like other rough and hard-to-digest foods, they can further irritate the lining of your gut, worsening your symptoms.
Fruits with skin
An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but if it isn’t peeled, it can cause major digestive distress for someone with Crohn’s.
The same goes for vegetables with edible peels, like cucumbers. Strip them off before you eat them. In fact, some people with Crohn’s find they can eat raw fruit and even some raw vegetables if they’ve been peeled. In general, cooked or canned fruits and vegetables are often a better choice than raw.
Popcorn
Whole grains are good for everyone—except a person with Crohn’s disease who’s having a flare-up. Popcorn is technically a whole grain, and it’s probably among the hardest of all those grains to digest. The same goes for corn on the cob. Anything that’s really rough to digest would possibly be detrimental and cause more symptoms and possibly slow the healing process.
Fried foods
Chicken, fish, and other healthy foods became major nutritional no-nos once they hit the deep fat fryer. Fried food isn’t good for anyone, and its greasiness may be especially problematic for people with Crohn’s. The more you can stay away from foods like that, the better off you’ll be.
Coffee, hot beverages, caffeine
Many coffee lovers have to swear off java after getting a diagnosis of Crohn’s. People with IBD can also have trouble with caffeinated sodas, while bubbly drinks—caffeinated or no—can be triggers as well.
Dairy
Because Crohn’s disease can damage the digestive tract, it can also cause lactose intolerance, an inability to digest the sugar found in milk and other dairy products.
If dairy causes bloating, gas, or aggravates other symptoms, you may want to try soy or almond milk instead of cow’s milk. Choose harder, aged cheeses like Parmesan, Romano, or cheddar instead of soft cheeses like mozzarella or ricotta.
