I don't want to be "skinny"

I want to be skinny.

wl tips coming from someone who got to my ugw (recovered and gained weight, trying again)

Don't exercise whilst fasting. I do not care how fat and gross you may feel. You will only make yourself hungrier and feel beyond exhausted. To last longer, preserve your energy. (U can go on a 30 min walk SLOWLY)

Fasting longer then I'd say 2 days will make you want to binge, if you are prone to binging and that kinda behaviour don't fast for extreme periods of time. It's a bad cycle to get stuck in, don't push it further

As long as you are under ur calorie deficit, you can eat anything. If that means having a beer and a pizza slice, you can. You can still have ur fave snacks, eating tones of veggies and never feeling satiated will only lead to binges and slower weightloss if it means you binge on the stuff u restricted from yourself in the first place. If you need to eat some cheesecake do that

If you aren't losing or have hit a plateau and you eat under 500 a day everyday. You aren't eating enough, sounds counter productive (less calories more weightloss) but your body will ass fuck ur metabolism and it will back fire

It takes time. Don't beat yourself up, it's a disorder and the thoughts aren't rational. You can't just jump into it with delusion that you'll eat egg whites everyday and a protein bar and you'll look like a model. Have realistic expectations and you won't yoyo your weight. Trying to speed run weightloss will only lead to speed running it all back

You honestly don't need to exercise. If you want to look muscular and toned, yes it helps. If you just want to drop weight a cal deficit is fine. Walk, be active and healthy yes. But you don't need to over exercise. I got to my ugw by just walking to school there and back 20 mins each way. I layed in bed the rest of the day. If you overeat a bit cool you can burn some calories. However you can lose weight and not workout. It's possible

Take care of your metabolism and it will take care of you. Have high cal metabolism day, this prevents plateau and ur body shutting down and refusing to burn anymore fat. Ur metabolism has a huge role in ur body, and neglecting it will screw you.

Don't weigh yourself everyday, once a week max. It may be tempting but crying over 0.3kg of water weight will only bring you down more. Your hard work is paying off I promise.

Be very VERY mindful of snacking, early in my wl journey I'd be like oh a small snack small cals it's fine. It adds up, and the habit stays. If you can't handle hunger that's on you. Its tough, but it means its working. Eat actually filling, protein dense meals. The habit of snacking and constantly eating will not lead to you getting to ur gw.

Not really a tip but a good thing I heard when I first started out. YOU WILL BE HUNGRY. "Uh yeah duh no shit" no I mean it, even a little, you'll be hungry to some extent. You are not going to be full and happy from 2 eggs and a cucumber stick. Learning to deal with hungry and push past it was better then crying about it and snacking to get rid of an uncomfortable feeling

WEIGHTLOSS IS NOT HARD. Restricting VERY low is hard yes, but weightloss isn't hard. It's challenging, it's uncomfortable. This mindset made it alot more achievable and less intimidating. Calories in calories out, simple. It is an [uncomfortable] feeling that's all

Know your triggers, this takes time but hear me out. I would binge rarely because I knew that weighing myself, getting emotional, angry at myself for eating was a trigger. "Fuck it I'm fat anyways" kinda energy. I limited the times I weighed myself, I'd think logically after I ate "I need the calories to do x,y,z plus my metabolism. I realistically didn't eat that much to actively gain weight. I will be fine" this took time and getting to the root of the problem is the way to go

Hope this helped someone, every wl journey is different and a disorder is a disorder at the end of the day. Stay safe 💗

Self-Harm First Aid: Cuts & Scratches

[Pt: Self-Harm First Aid: Cuts & Scratches]

Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional, all of the information below is based on my research. It is always best to see a doctor if you are injured. I do not promote self-harm.

1. Stop The Bleeding

[pt: 1. Stop The Bleeding]

If the injury is spurting blood, apply pressure and call for an ambulance immediately. Follow the instructions of the emergency line operator.

Apply pressure to the injury or injuries with a clean cloth that will not get fluff in the wound (e.g. a bit of shirt). For shallow cuts or scratches apply even pressure for 5 minutes. For deeper cuts apply presser for 7-10 minutes.

If bleeding does not stop after 10 minutes of applying pressure you need medical attention immediately. Call for an ambulance if you cannot get yourself to A&E.

2. Assessing Damage

[Pt: 2. Assessing Damage]

Call for an ambulance if...

If the injury is spurting blood, you have hit an artery

You go into shock (link)

If you are unsure if you need immediate medical attention

If you do not think you can take care of your injuries alone and cannot get yourself to A&E

Seek immediate medical attention if...

If bleeding does not stop after 10 minutes of applying pressure

If you lose sensation or movement in any area, this is a sign of nerve or tendon damage

The injury is to a joint, palm, your face, or genitals

If the injury is internal

You can see muscle or bone. Muscle looks like meat

If you do not think you can take care of your injuries alone

If you are unsure how serious an injury call your local A&E's nurse line (if in the UK call 111 or use 111 online (link)).

If you seek medical attention follow their instructions.

3. Cleaning And Bandaging The Injuries

[Pt: 3 Cleaning And Bandaging The Injuries]

Make sure your hands are cleans. Rinse the injuries with warm water to remove any debris. Dry the area well with a clean cloth that will not get fluff in the wound. You do not need to use an antiseptic lotion or cream.

If a wound needs stitches, seek immediate medical attention. If you cannot/will not seek medical attention use steri-strips (link) or butterfly bandages (link) to close the injury. These can also be used for more minor injuries where the edges of cut do not meet.

Otherwise use a plaster (band-aid) or a bandage (depending on the size and spacing of your injury/injuries) to cover the injury.

4. Wound Care, Part 1: Normally Healing Injury

[Pt: Wound Care, Part 1: Normally Healing Injury]

If the plaster/bandage/etc. you used comes with instructions, follow them. Otherwise, change dressings daily or when they become dirty or wet. Steri-strips and butterfly bandages can be left on till they fall off or the wound has heald. Check for signs of infection (link) when you change dressings (more info on infections below). Never reuse dressings

There is no need to clean an injury again when changing dressings unless it becomes dirty. There is no need to apply antiseptic lotion or cream to an injury unless there are signs of infection (link) (more info on infections below).

5. Wound Care, Part 2: Infected Injury

[Pt: 5. Wound Care, Part 2: Infected Injury]

Seek medical attention immediately if you show symptoms of a serious infection, such as...

Confusion or disorientation

Feeling faint or dizzy

Irregular heartbeat and/or breathing

Cold, clammy, pale skin

Fever (body temperature of 38c (100.4 f) or higher)

Fainting

Severe muscle pain

Painful muscle spasms

And more (link)

If you do not feel safe to or cannot get to an A&E by yourself and have no one to take you, call for an ambulance. A serious infection can be deadly, DO NOT attempt to care for at home.

Symptoms of mild infection; spreading redness, heat, or swelling near the injury, increased or new pain, increased fluid leaking from wound. Some redness, pain, and fluid leakage can be normal.

If you are unsure how serious an infection is see a doctor or call your local A&E's nurse line (if in the UK call 111 or use 111 online (link)).

To treat a mild infection...

Clean the wound with warm water and unscented soap

Soak in warm water or apply a warm wet cloth for ten minutes

Apply antibiotic ointment to the infected wound(s)

Re-dress the wound. Do not reuse dressings.

Repeat this 3 times a day daily until infection subsides. If the infection worsens or does not go away seek medical attention.

If you are unsure how serious your infection is see a doctor or call your local A&E's nurse line (if in the UK call 111 or use 111 online (link)).

If you do not feel that you can tend to your injury alone seek medical attention.

Yess. Today for lunch I made my dad a cheese quesadilla with diced pieces of chicken sausage inside and a dipping cup with mild green sauce on the side, and for my mom I prepared a pb&j sandwich with blueberries and raspberries in her lunchbox for work :)

Does anyone else cook food for their family because you like cooking, You just don't like eating.
