I’m just watching a program on parental responsibility for sugar eating as a child… They are blaming the sugary breakfasts that parents give their children for the obesity crisis… I was eating three chocolate bars in a row in the loos because I was are spurges and schizo and had no friends
I’m pretty sure that I was born hungry The latest science says that some are born hungrier than other people
This is all i’ve ever known deep down
On top of that… We never had putting in our house ever not once we were three girls who obviously wanted to be slim and my mum never let us have pudding ever
Nope I was a twig until highschool. Was very frustrated when I suddenly had to start watching what I ate, lol. Was mildly pudgy. Eventually went back to normal, until last year when I went on risperdal and gained weight from that and had a depressive episode and gained weight from that and now I’m back to being somewhat pudgy again. I have crazy stretch marks now because I gained the weight so fast and I hate it.
Our mom has been a health nut for a veeeery long time so we hardly ever got access to fun fattening foods. Backfired when I got older and gained access to these foods on my own because then I liked to splurge on them because they were such a rare treat when I was young.
I was pretty normal in weight all my life. I never had to worry about my weight until about 1983 when I was 22. and living in a nice group home. They kept a tub of flavored yogurt in the refrigerator most of the time and they had several plastic containers of different cereals on hand all the time. I started a ritual every night of having a bowl of yogurt and a bowl of cereal. I did this for a month or two until one day some girl there said something like I looked like I gained a few pounds. I hadn’t even noticed myself. My usual weight at six feet tall is about 185 to 190 but I weighed myself and I was over two hundred. It was the first time I was ever overweight.
Later in my late twenties, I went the other way when I got addicted to crack and I lost 30 lbs without noticing it until my friend pointed it out. I was always rushing around all over and forgetting to eat and walking miles to get drugs and spending almost all of my spare money on drugs instead of food. I barely ate.
I was fat as a kid because I was in a mind control scheme that involved my schools, the school district superintendent, and the government. I ran away from home to the Army and then 911 happened. Back then I ran about 30 miles a week so I was very very skinny, but now I’m not lol I’m 300 pounds heavy and I’m only 5’9". It’s embarassing but my girlfriend also is pretty big so we’re a big fat couple.
I was extremely skinny I think at that time ,it was way more acceptable for a guy to be over weight. I got a lot of crap about it and in fights sometimes because of bullies, luckily I was pretty scrappy, so I didn’t put up with to much crap. Now I’m just a few pounds overweight.
Quite true and she really cares about me. This new year we’ll try to get on the fitness train though because we’re just way too fat to be able to do things as easily as we used to (like screwing). I’m huge right now I look like a bearded whale for all practical purposes and my girlfriends DDDs are giving her back problems.
I was a very active child that liked running around the neighborhood with my friends, though I started to gain some weight when I was around 8-9 years old but I didn’t initially notice and I didn’t care. At 12, I was going through several situations that ended up becoming traumatic events and was severely depressed and started criticizing my body harshly and tried to make myself throw up. But at that time, I was around 147 lbs.
Now I’m in my mid-teens and I’m 180 lbs. But I’m slowly working to try and fix this. I finally got to exercise yesterday and I’m still feeling the burn, but it’s cool.
I always had a weird relationship with food. And yes it all goes back to our primary relationships with parents and their raising patterns: every eating disorder is built on premise that food is substitution for something lacking in that primary relationship.
I think I’ve gone through most eating disorders, mostly not even knowing about it - I thought as @Thanna said it was normal; anorexia, bulimia, even a period of compulsive eating during my pregnancy.
Going on antidepressants after high schools luckily change it all for good, but I’m still a stress eater.
Damn food is so fine and cruel.
