Reel Non-sense

I watched a reel yesterday where a good-intentioned influencer encouraged those trying to lose weight to skip the cardio and go right to the weights. Reason being you have to fuel your body more in order to participate in cardio and the result will be gaining weight rather than weight loss.

We have to fuel our bodies no matter what activity we participate in. We have to eat to match our activity. Imbalance is the issue; not what activity we are participating in to meet the feeling we want in our own bodies.

My gut reaction to the reel was:
1. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO EAT FOOD
2. Not everyone has the means to weight lift
3. No wonder so many of us suffer from EDs

As someone who has
Binged,
Purged,
Starved,
Restricted,
Overexercised-

As someone who
Can no longer discern hunger cues,
Needs to be told when to eat,
Asks her support system how much to eat based on her activity for the day-

I see y’all
I feel y’all
I am y’all

Disordered eating is disordered thinking only made more confusing and challenging by the constant barrage of poor nutrition facts and even worse ‘lose weight quick’ fads. No matter what others see, you will see and feel exactly what you see and feel.

If I think my skin is blue, I don’t care how many times you say my skin is peach- my skin is blue. But if you tell me I can change my appearance with minimal effort and maximum results by doing xyz, why wouldn’t I? This is the basis of toxic diet culture.

It feeds the success of the fitness industry-
Not the needs of our physical body
And certainly
Not the needs of our mental state

Awkward Social Interactions

Why is it I never run into someone when I look presentable?

Post 4 mile walk in the FL summer heat and humidity is when I run into people I haven’t seen in more than a decade.

Him: Melissa?

Me: Yes ? hi…(positive my face read who tf are you?)

Him: We went to high school together.

Me: *brain clicks - and played sports together most of our childhood. Hey! How are you?!

Him: You look good ?

Me: Thanks, you too…all right byeee

*gets to the truck to notice my hair frizzy standing on end, sweaty clothes and red faced - makes mental note to look at photos from high school for comparison ???clearly my idea of good and his are on different spectrums, not simply separate ends of the same.
