My advice for health and wellness

OK.
Try to improve your physical fitness.
Exercise intensely with varied methods( for example, not just rowing, but also swimming, running etc).
The more varied your exercise regime is, the better.
Intense exercise is better than mild exercise.
You should do aerobic exercise every day, possibly even more than once a day.
Exercise mostly at the gym.
You should do strength training once every 2-3 days.
That’s it for physical fitness.
Now, take very cold showers once a day IF AND ONLY IF your baseline fitness is good and you feel
that your body will be able to handle it.
Optimal nutrition: Buy yourself a “squeezer”, a machine that has vegetables and fruits as input
and juice as output. Make yourself a shake of vegetables . Drink it every day.
As a source of protein, legumes and mushrooms are preferred.
If you want to get it from animal sources let it be fish.
Also consume rye or spelt bread and whole rice.
Mantras: prepare a set of positive mantras for example:
I have excellent endurance, I have strong muscles,I have an excellent immune system, I have a job( if you want it) , I have a GF(if you want it).
Repeat them out loud several times a day, the more the better.

I’m in a position of recovery, but some people on this forum struggle just to breathe. Your aggressive post could negatively trigger many followers. Not everyone is in a place of obsessive control or even want it. The key to life is to be healthy, stable and happy.

its just a guide, i thought the others were a bit to strict for a sz person lol

I was mind blown when opened post…I’m in a good place but when I was having full blown sz, that would’ve made me feel like such a loser because sometimes just watching tv was too much, brushing teeth etc. when I’m suffering I’m also overly sensitive cuz I feel like a burden or bother. I agree “realistic” expectations. Someone could feel really negative regarding that post. Just knowing you’re not alone is what brought me here.

I hear you but i realise this was not the intention of the op etc, i thought suggestions were better than ‘do this, do that’ type thing bc a lot of the time it is not easy just to do things like that,

i forgot to put something about washing :confused:

I didn’t even reply cognitively lol. I was mind blown. You’re right I’ve been in hospital where patients couldn’t or would argue about hygiene. We have so many shapes and sizes,etc. sz doesn’t discriminate. Some things help some and some things help others. Unfortunately I don’t always listen to advice and have to fall on my face to figure things out for myself. But it isn’t as if not good points but it was like woah.

I got my work-out today. I lifted a Big Mac, a large order of fries and a large Coke.

It works if you work it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: don’t think I’ve ever had a Big Mac we use our grill and I make olive oil fried homemade sweet potato fries with a mixture of seasonings yum

I just really feel like I’m fat eventhough I am only 118lbs. and I don’t know why. Maybe because I’ve been bullied when I was young.

Omg, please wipe this from your mind. I grew up in a major dysfunctional family…and seeds were planted though never really fat. When my sz started it was with me bein fat…125…which I was far from played soccer in college only two games because I’d started my anorexia death spiral dropped 11 lbs in less than the last time coach saw me, and I was getting pushed around like a feather so sent me to dr at school. Then I kept being told over and over and ignored. Got married…to escape and even completely took out cake eating part. I started using alcohol to be my calories and cardio…got a divorce because all he Cared about was my money. I have a 10 k judgement on him…Got better the tried to kill myself a couple times.oh, how lovely it is to wake up in hospital pumped full of charcoal. I started seeing my psychiatrist and things were ok was in 110s but he wanted more. I had a terrible time with psychosis and got married again (can’t believe he would) my weight fluctuated but was a total calorie counter. Completely eliminated alcohol. Couple years I started new med combo and then started having seizures. I wanted to die…it was awful…no cooking, taking a bath when not watched. No going with friends to Disney world, etc. went through a gazillion tests after had enough. Finally an outsourcing co found out I had long qt…to finally find out I was in hospital two weeks for epilepsy study, did one at home, mri, then another with camera, 12 line ekg and eeg. The tech told me I had vtach /vfib…cardiac arrhythmia not seizures. So I’d been having aborted heart attacks not seizures and went to Er for three weeks thinking I’d have a pacemaker/defibrillator put in…anyways dr said my anorexia probably didn’t cause it but some anorexics I read get it…his pa talked to me very “uncomfortabley” saying I could have. After ambulances, bills and treatment omg awful but prolly best hospital in world. They pulled me off everything cold turkey.in anER…I realized My self destruction was killing me. So many more details. But heart rate was in 20s…And now it’s in 50s after a couple of years, I can ,cook,bake exercise and am only on some meds cuz long qts will ruin your life. I can’t even take theraflu…anyways, point is I starved myself to near death, obsessedwith fat and calories and am lucky to be alive. Not that I wanted to be alive but I loved my husband and dogs and finally started listening. I’ve been free for awhile now and pump iron and have my armor…sorry long but coulda been really really long. But plz realize to love yourself and not go through the nightmares of hurt…being told bag o bones repulsive, walking dead,etc etc. you have to take care of you number one…that I heard which means let go of what others categorize you as. I uploaded a picture of my muscles and I know most girls want female curves but I will never be weak again. I deserve mOre and to have a life. Hope not. too garbled tired but can’t sleep. I’ll be around if ever need to talk. Hugs and scales are literally for fish
