The “right weight for my height” scale doesn’t take into account bone density, breast size, body structure, or fat-to-muscle ratio. It needs a major revision bc people get caught up in it and wind up with eating disorders.
@sarahdavies29234 жыл бұрын
I agree that the weight-height paradigm needs revision but do you think that factoring in heaps of other stuff with stop people getting caught up on it? I feel like it would just give people with eating disorders more measurements to obsess over dude
@TesIaNews20244 жыл бұрын
@@sarahdavies2923 I don't have an eating disorder, so I won't claim to know how obsessing over numbers and such works; however, if there is a revision to the scale which takes into account all of the aforementioned factors, maybe the obsession over it would garner a healthier outcome. I'm not claiming it would be a panacea to eating disorders because they will always be prevalent in society. Young minds will continue to be influenced by social structures, physical demands due to training, trends, fashion, and the "popular" people's ways of dressing. But, perhaps, if medicine can fix just one area of stress for people with eating disorders, we might see a positive change as a result. Thank you, by the way, for taking the time to introduce your concerns since I'm not as well versed in the eating disorder spectrum as I am in the mood disorder spectrum. I genuinely had to take a moment to put some thought into my answer. And I really like to think, so this gave me something to chew on. :)

I hate the BMI statistics or whatever it says height vs weight. I'm 5 feet tall and no way can I keep my weight under 120. If it's 140 I'm overweight? That's just insane!

Sarah Davies I see your point but I struggled with disordered eating and some of the other factors the person who posted the original comment mentioned actually served as explanation for me and I was greatly relieved as a lot of those factors are out of your control. Also factors like socioeconomic status, mental health...etc. It’s sad but not everyone has adequate access to health. Anyway, I went off on a bit of a tangent. For me having those other factors explained greatly relieved me, but I can totally see your point about how some people would obsess even more.
@anwensu43814 жыл бұрын
Texas baby ktea Totally agree. BMI was created by a mathematician, not a doctor or anyone who is actually qualified to be making any sort of judgement on whether people’s bodies are healthy or not. And there are SO many factors BMI doesn’t take into account. Time to get it removed from doctors’ offices as a means of measuring health.

People don’t realize the effect their little comments can have on ppl, especially children. When I was in cheer in middle school, one of the other moms said that I’m too big and need to move out of the way because I was blocking her daughter and that’s something that really bothered me as a child and made me feel so ugly and fat compared to the other girls. When I look back at the pictures of me in middle school I was literally tiny! I was the same size as the other girls!

So true. I was treated also like this my whole life because i am tall and i have long limbs, also i developed early so i had comments from adults and children about my bust🙄 I developed a bad posture from constantly hunching up my shoulders and sucking in my chest because i was trying to make myself smaller. People are so ridiculous and cruel. Its sad but whenever someone makes a comment about my appearance that is mean or try to embarrass me, i do it back to them lol So if they say I am too tall or something I say "well you are really short like a goblin, im happy not to be so short like you"😏. It makes them think about what they are saying and if they are making you feel ugly you should make them feel ugly, pick on their insecurities dont be nice to them

Anwen Su that’s a great suggestion and thanks for your comment ❤️ Isn’t intuitive eating just eating when you are hungry? Not being rude I genuinely am asking because from what I’ve read about it, just seems like you eat when you are hungry? Problem with that for me at least is I’ve been anorexic for so long that I really don’t get hunger cues anymore. I can go the whole day without eating and not even think about it till I’m in bed and I’m like damn I didn’t eat today. Again thank you so much for the suggestion
@anwensu43814 жыл бұрын
Erica Chappel You’re welcome! 😊 And yes, it does mean just eating when you are hungry, but also being in tune with your body’s needs and eating what you want when you want. You may not even be hungry (for example, just going to get ice cream with a friend because it sounds fun!). I know that can sound scary, and it’s perfectly okay and normal if it takes you a while to learn to eat for enjoyment again and you aren’t ready for that step just yet. It took me a while. As for not having hunger cues due to anorexia, I would suggest more energy-dense foods in manageable amounts. Your metabolism will wake up as your body starts to trust that you aren’t starving yourself. However I highly recommend you let your doctor know of this issue if you haven’t already. He or she can help you. Also some excellent instagram accounts to follow for EDs and body dysmorphia are maryscupoftea and ditchthediet! 💛

Having an eating disorder is so difficult to cope with. I have always struggled with weight myself. A couple years ago I was in the thick of a vicious cycle. I started out very much like you. Eating well and walking a lot. I began seeing results. After a while, it morphed into me just not eating or if I did eat, I would immediately work it off. I tried to purge once but as you said, it's very hard to do so I just stuck with not eating and rigorous over exercise. The mind is so powerful, the disorder will make you see what it wants but everyone else sees a very sick person. I went months without a period so I am glad you still had yours. It is so important that people are educated about the real harms of degrating a young girls appearance. It haunts them. I still struggle. I hate eating in front of people. I'm so proud to hear you have such a positive outlook. Stay strong gorgeous and thank you for sharing your story.

Thank you for your courage in sharing your story. You are doing so good with the progress you have made. I want to share one thing that might help you with the anxiety. I too suffer from anxiety and occasional panic attacks, or I DID, but not anymore. I started taking Magnesium citrate powder in my water bottle, 1 tsp in my water bottle in the morning and 1 tsp in the evening and it knocked my anxiety WAY down! If you take it in the middle of a panic attack, about 45 minutes later, you will feel peaceful again. It's a miracle. I learned that the reason it works so well is because magnesium is one of our 4 essential minerals (along with sodium, calcium and potassium) and most people are depleted due to poor diet, depleted soils (soil our produce does not have as many nutrients as they did 25 years ago) and stress. Magnesium is stored in your bones and one of it's many functions is to help the body during stress by binding to the brain receptors to calm the brain so you feel peaceful. But when you have chronic stress, especially if you are not eating a nutritious diet, you will deplete your magnesium and start getting anxiety and depression. So please go get some magnesium powder and try it. I discovered it a year and a half ago and I have not gone a day without it since (except for a few days once). It's so important to get enough magnesium and especially important to eat a nutrient dense diet and not crap food that is bad for your brain. Please try it and I think it will definitely help you. Take good care.

I ate 1,800 a day and walked for 40 minutes, I was and still am under dr supervision, sometimes people will be more open and they will watch my channel instead of assuming and lecturing, but I have to explain my mental illness is separate from my weight loss journey, and my family now know, my dr, my therapist, and yet I still get lectured, this has really inspired me to have more educational videos on the matter on my channel, and given me courage and inspiration, so again, thank you so much Julia, this means so much to me, especially since I’ve watched you for years and as a new KZbinr I really look up to you so much, wishing you the best wishes honey and know we are always here for you ❤️❤️❤️

Julia, your storyline/ progression into an ED is almost identical to mine. When I started my recovery journey it took me several months for the binging to stop. My body was recovering from all the abuse it had endured and it still felt it needed to hoard food because it was USED to being starved. DONT lose hope! I still have some bad mental health days, but I can say with my entire heart that my eating pattern is COMPLETELY 100% recovered now. It is such a relief to be able to eat normally. A year ago, food never left my mind.. now I don’t even think about it. Please don’t be discouraged. It gets better with time. Love you =)

I especially like your point on how some people get so sick that they are hospitalized because it seems like people don't realize they have an eating disorder when they do because they're not hospitalized or in rehab. I know when I was restricting my calories to 300-400 a day I didn't think I had an eating disorder because I was still able to go to school and go to work. I was just really unhappy and obsessed with restricting calories. So thanks for sharing this. I hope you feel better

Wow, this takes so much power to admit!!! I’ve been struggling with disordered eating (specifically bulimia) since I was a mere 8 years old, you’re not alone in this!!! You deserve happiness and one day we’ll all be free of this

I'm recovering from an ED myself. Tbh, it's the hardest thing I've ever did in my life, but I know you can do it too, Julia. Sending you all my love and support ❤️

i really hope you’re truly feeling better, i understand so well what you’re going through. i myself struggle with my weight a lot, i am a curvy girl naturally curvy and i weigh around 57/60kg if i’m not wrong and i’m 5’7 tall. eating disorders are so crazy specially because they normally come because of trauma, or other mental health issues, or something like that. you are so incredibly beautiful inside and out! you’ve got a heart of gold and it’s so obvious how much you care about the people in your life include us your followers. you are incredible and thank you so much for telling your story. you’re not alone and i’m so proud that you searched for help that’s a big step and you should be proud of yourself also. love you 💕

That teacher had no right to say anything like that or make u feel like that, she had no right at all, sounds like she had a problem to be honest, adults we look up to when growing up have such power and they know that, I'm disgusted with her actions,, so proud u felt comfortable to speak about this hun, love u lots Julia, u are beautiful inside and out, xx💕

Also I have sucked in my stomache since I was 10 and am 29 now. When I'm not sucking in i feel to relaxed like I'm gonna bust open or something. I dont mean to do it anymore either just naturally sick In. When i first started i remember it hurting so much causing cranes and feeling like i did a bunch of situps or something and would make my stomache hurt. I didn't know many others did this also.

As somebody with anorexia and just graduated from a hospital program, Julia does NOT need to hear about your “natural skinniness” and other triggering details about your weight/shapes. ED’s are extremely complex and competitive in nature, and content like that can be extremely damaging to sufferers. She needs compassion and support, not comparison. I’m here for you Julia, please keep fighting and know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s very difficult and seems impossible at times but it’s worth it.

I second this! In the beginning of this year I had teeth reconstruction bc I dealt 11 years with an ED and it fucked my teeth up. Been in recovery for 4 years and I was finally allowed to get taken care of my teeth now that I got pretty stable.

Thank you for sharing your story. The temptation to return to your eating disorder will lessen until one day you won’t think about it at all. I had anorexia and bulimia from the time I was 9 years old and didn’t quit it for good until I was 16. Now I’ve been free of it for 7 years and I’m not tempted to go back. You will get to that point too. Keep up the great work.

i am 24 and struggle with eating disorders since i was 14. Our stories are very similar. My family always said i needed to lose weight, even though i was skinny. I've always had a big butt, and people made fun about it, calling me fat. I was 50 kg, 170 cm tall. When I was 19 i moved to the US and started to suffer from depression. At the begining i couldn't eat, but then i ate as comfort. I gained more than 30 kg in 16 months. When i came back to Brazil, people started to treat me different. My father once called me "it" just because i am fat. I started to throw up every single day, and unffortunelly i still do. I feel reliefd, throwing up is like a victory for me. that's how f**d up mymind is. I can't do diets, even with professional help (therapists, nutricionists, etc). It's like i don't wanna get out of this, it's like the disorder don't let me. It is very hard, I know there's a long way to go. Eileen is such a lovely lady, helping you instead of judging. You are very lucky to have her support, you'll get out of this! You are a very strong woman! I am on my own on this, my family says i'm lazy, my friends say it's not true,i'm making this up to get attention, but besides all of that, i know i'm gonna get ou of this, even by myself. We are strong!

You are very brave. Thank you for sharing your story. I’m in an age-gap lesbian relationship so I am so happy to have found your channel! Not sure if you have heard of the fitness KZbinr Stephanie Buttermore but she is currently doing an “all-in” journey to restore her natural hunger cues and help with her extreme hunger she experienced while doing restrictive dieting. That kind of thing might be helpful to you. Best of luck to you! You’ve got this!! ❤️❤️

I am so PROUD of you. I have struggled with my weight my whole life. The best advice I have is to work on your self control. A little at a time. Give yourself the control back. Say and plan meals and follow through until you trust yourself to do what is right for you and your health. This broke my heart. I literally think you are one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. I love your style. You are so sweet. Take care of yourself, build back the confidence that teacher and the world tried to take. The first step in any recovery is to admit you have a problem. And you’ve done that. Eileen seems to be a strong minded women let her teach you, learn from her. Opening up and accepting help can be the hardest part. It has been for me. Stay beautiful 🧜🏻♀️🧚🏻🧚🏻♀️💐🌺🌷🍄🌻⭐️☀️🎈🎀💙💚💛🧡❤️💜
