As someone that struggles to get calories this is more inspirational than you'd think
I'm so jealous of people who have to hit minimums. I have the worst time controlling my intake.
It's feeling bad after you eat because you ate too much vs feeling bad while you eat because you're forcing yourself to eat. Neither extreme is fun, I can promise you that.
Intermittent fasting is a good tool to help take in calories. Of course this assumes you're consuming mostly whole foods. If you eat a lot of higly processed food you can still ingest way too many calories, even with a small eating window
Since January, I have stopped consuming any calories other than what comes in my non-sweetened tea until lunch time. You wouldn't believe how my stomach bothers me while waiting!
Still bothers you and it's been so long? Damn... I've been doing it for a month and I'm already used it.
I wake up with fairly severe nausea every day and it lasts until I eat something.
How close to bedtime do you eat? I eat milk curd (21g of protein) mixed with protein powder (42g) around 1h before going to sleep and i wake up fine.
We usually eat at 7:30, though I tend to snack afterwards. It's very confusing for sure.
Sounds like Intermittent fasting is not a tool for you, there are other avenues to weight loss. The core is being in caloric deficit, how much and how long will depend on the individual. Hope you can find a solution for weightloss journey. If you want to discuss some ideas feel free, its somthing I'm very interested in and currently on my own journey
It's really the only place where I have sufficient willpower to exert an influence.
Drink a protein shake or something in the morning?
That's what I use to do but stopped doing in order to lose weight.
The only upside is that others look at you and think you're healthy. I don't think eating more than your body wants is any easier than eating less.
is it valid to be jealous of someone else's problems?
for me losing weight is a nightmare. definitely have an eating disorder, why couldn't it be the eating disorder that makes me skinny?!??
I don't know what valid means in this context, but everyone is fighting their own conflicting battles.
I think it's natural to desire easier problems in times of struggle, but to perceive others' struggles as preferable is a means of avoidance rather than confronting and adequately reconciling the root or core cause(s). 2¢
