Deleting this awful app from my phone now. I need to actually try recovery for real. An@ is making me hurt my loved ones and has not made me any happier. Love you all ❤️🪽
Your reminder that BMI is useless. BMI was made by a mathematician to measure populations, not individuals. BMI is not a credible metric for determining whether you’re over/underw3ight.
The BMI criteria to determine whether you have an@ or OSF€D is entirely arbitrary. You can still be underw3ight for your health and be above BMI 18.5. Same goes for being a healthy w3ight under 18.5. The distinction between the disorders is stupid because most diagnosable an@s don’t start off underw3ight.
If you want a more accurate indicator, compare your BMI to other people of your age and sex (if binary trans on HRT, compare to the one you’re transitioning to)
I need y’all r3xies to stop sexualizing yourselves as teenagers. Please. Think about what you’re posting. Posing in a bikini or your underwear for BCs only encourages the rampant p3d0ph1les who prey on vulnerable kids in these communities. Also, we don’t want to see all that.
Keep your face hidden, don’t pose suggestively, and make sure anything you share can’t be traced back to you. And do NOT engage with anyone who messages you if you decide to post suggestively.
I don’t care if you “know what you’re doing”. Stop. You’re enabling p3d0s and it’s disgusting.
A risk of an@/restrictive 3Ds that isn’t talked about:
You could be at risk for developing diabetes.
If you are eating limited c@lor1es per day, but those c@ls are mostly carbs (sugars), you can develop problems with insulin, which can lead to diabetes. More info below cut:
How does diabetes develop when restricting?
Insulin is the hormone that helps move the glucose (sugar) you eat from your blood into your muscles to be used as energy. With diabetes mellitus, your body produces too little insulin, or does not respond to insulin properly.
When you are undernourished, your body slows down its production of insulin, along with many other hormones. Low levels of insulin, combined with a high-carb diet, can increase your risk for diabetes.
There are no studies showing a direct link between AN and becoming diabetic. However, since diabetes is influenced largely by genetics, your risk may increase if you are already prediabetic.
1 in 3 Americans are prediabetic, and many people have no symptoms. You can find this out through blood tests.
How can I lessen my risk of becoming diabetic?
- Balance your sugar intake. Sugar (added, or found in things like fruit) should not make up more than 10% of your daily c@lor1es (1g of sugar = 4 c@ls)
- Eat more protein to avoid a high body fat percentage, which is a risk factor for diabetes
- Make sure to exercise three times a week, even if you’re restricting heavily. This helps with insulin production. Weightlifting helps to build muscle
- Watch for symptoms of prediabetes. Many of these overlap with side effects of f@sting/restricting. They include: extreme thirst, frequent urination (going to the bathroom more than 10 times per day), fatigue, and darkened skin on certain parts of the body (most commonly the neck, armpits, and groin)
- Know that certain medications can raise your blood sugar, and increase your risk for diabetes if you’re already prone to it
added sugar in processed foods and natural sugars in foods like fruit metabolize differently, unless you are exclusively consuming sweet fruit and fruit juice you from a medical perspective do not need to worry about the percent of natural sugars (unless you are ALREADY diabetic or prediabetic) in your food. the rest of this is solid though
