    This is not true. Yes you can healthy at every size, but you can't stay healthy at every size. Usually, young people are still healthy despite their weight. It's like saying anyone can be healthy smoking. Yes, you can be healthy when you start smoking, but 10,20 or more years later, your health is in serious decay. I wish the best of luck everyone with your health journeys. Don't focus on the scale's number, but making healthy changes, eating vegetables, healthy sources of protein and no(or at least little) junk food. Remember, you got this and I believe in you! P.S the research behind obesity and negative health effects is overwhelming. One study I read, where the previously healthy obese people where checked up on later-to find all had severely degraded health relative to when they participated in the original study.

      Maybe you didn’t watch the full video and still misunderstand what health at every size means. The focus of the approach is on healthful behaviours - eating a variety of nutritious foods, moving your body, reducing stress, improving impacts of poverty, etc., rather than simply focusing on reducing body size.

      @@ParallelWellness with love. I believe you have the best of intentions. Health at every size is not true. Obesity is the largest cause of disease in the developed world. This is supported by endless studies going back over a centuary until today. Obesity can be caused by other ailments, however caused by another diseases or only an overconsumption of calories-it is still severly detrimental to your health. You can be healthy obese, but you CANNOT stay healthy. I wish it where not so, but the science is irrefutable. I used to struggle with my weight in the past. Now that i've gotten healthier through healthy habits like good food, exercise and sleep resulting in a healthy body fat percentage(bmi/scale are trash) I am full of energy, sleep well and feel great. to be blunt, healthy at any size is a fantasy meant to make people feel better about themselves. Please open your mind to the evidence that a healthy body fat percentage is important. There is no ideal body weight for anyone, but if you're obese-or worse-your health inevitably suffers. I love that you want to help people. But you arent helping people by telling them incorrect information.

    So I don’t feel like I can talk with a professional, when I was 15 I was told I had major depression disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and ednos.. however when I brought the topic to my mom she said I had “munchies syndrome ” meaning Munchausen syndrome, also known as factitious disorder imposed on self, is a condition where people fake or create illness, injury, disease, abuse, or psychological trauma to get attention, sympathy, or reassurance. It kinda made me feel.. bad about myself to hear that maybe the doctors lied to me about ednos but told her I had this, and even years later I’m still struggling with disordered eating and my weight fluctuates sometimes I am happy and other times i truly hate myself, as well as when i watch a show or an episode of the show and it talks about eating disorders i kinda go into relapse mode, I do think it’s very understandable to think I am faking this because I used to go to proana websites and crave those type of things to “motivate myself”

      It always breaks my heart to hear of people having a negative experience with the mental health system. You can book yourself a consultation appointment with most private care providers to determine fit and if you can trust someone. As an adult, your therapist should not be sharing your information with anyone else. If they suspect you may have fictitious disorder they should be telling you directly. Trust and respectful communication are the cornerstones of therapy. I truly hope you have a better experience if you choose to seek professional support again.

      Hi Olivia! BMI is an inaccurate measure of a person’s health. Have you talked to you Mr medical physician about heart-healthy behaviours that may include diet and movement but also other important factors like sleep, stress levels, etc? Weight loss isn’t the enemy but diet mentality. You may be at greater risk of having disorder eating thoughts given your history that can make trying to lose weight risky for disordered eating. Have you considered working with therapist or dietitian experienced with eating disorders?

But now I have to pull from those skills without the physiological help that will take a good while to develop again..also there was a lot of motivation to continue when the weight had fallen off. Now the weight is back on so there isn't the advantage of being in that comfort zone that had developed over time.

    I have dieted since childhood. I had two bouts with anorexia but when I recovered everything went the other way and diet after diet resulted in more weight and I'm almost 300lbs. Last year I lost 45lbs then stalled regardless of cutting calories more for a year. Because now I lose control and binge. I keep trying and feel like if I just stay disciplined I can start losing weight again. I listen to Alan Roberts and agree that people have control over their weight but am starting to consider a different approach because 30 years of calorie counting has resulted in me being fatter. I just can't make it work. So I started intuitive eating ideas but they scare me because I gained 15 lbs back. I don't know how to let go of losing weight. I hate it and want it gone. I don't want the pain in my body, the lack of energy, and difficulty doing the physical things I want to do. I don't even care how I look, I just want to be free of this heavy struggling feeling. So that is where I am.

    I have never been a binge/purge person. I don't think I have ever binged in my entire life. Maybe overeaten, but never binge. I have always had digestive problems since I was a little girl. I had problems going back to as far as I can remember being 4-5 years old. I was never and undereater. I always had a healthy diet, exercised, drank a lot of water, and gave my body what it needed. I've had colonoscopies and have been to many GI doctors and dieticians. Some people just have slow motility. That said, I was so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired so I opted to take laxatives as a way to just get on with my life. It really was just for regularity. I'd drink senna tea, take magnesium, and eat a high fiber diet. All I wanted was to be regular. But as the years went on, I had to take more and more. Then I got involved with cleanses. THAT was what messed me up. The colonics and the enemas. Things got so bad and I was desperate. The biggest problem for me was that because of this one issue, it took control over many areas of my life. And that was when I started have food issue. I was desperate to feel better. After seeking therapy, and going way back into the past, I discovered that my digestive system is my emotional center. And that there were things from the past that had created this inability to digest life. There is always a reason for our symptoms. It may not necessarily be that we are not eating enough. It may not have anything to do with what we are eating but rather what's eating us. I agree with this video on all levels; only to say however, that not every person is the same. And once you do literally become addicted the laxatives, it creates anxiety and fear in other areas of your life. YOU MUST GO TO THE SOURCE AND THE SOURCE CAN BE TRICKY TO DISCOVER. But it's worth the investigation. I'm 50 and it's been a long road. But I will never give up.

    At 11:46, you make good points. However, when people are eating better (protein and fibers) and exercise more, they will most likely lose body fat. And, after losing this excess weight, their health and blood markers was indeed getting better. Furthermore, recent studies are starting to use body fat %; those randomized controlled trial on humans showed people on both extremities of the spectrum are more likely to suffer from health problems. Being undersized or oversized isn't ideal neither on the long run. Like you said, people need to adopt better life habits : eating whole food, quality sleep of 7 to 9h per night, physical activities and weight lifting, going outside more often, stress management. I was a former obese myself with multiple heart issues, high blood pressure, joints pain, etc. Once I adopted and maintained good habits, I was able to get rid of those problems. But, it's a daily struggle, but worth every second of it.

    What an amazing video Meredith. Thanks for sharing your journey through recovery. I, too, remember lots of the weight watchers conversations and all of the workout VHS library in my home as a young girl. My family used to say at the dinner table, "how many points is that?" when someone would reach for the salad dressing. It's incredible how it's imprinted at such a young age. And it was difficult to know as I grew into a young adult woman, what was classified as disordered or was just simply "normal" in my world, because we were surrounded. Thank you for sharing such a powerful story. It will resonate with so many of us ❤️

      🫶 oh man, the running calorie/point tally! So much of this is normalized and it’s not okay.

    I'm over here getting a double portion of grilled shrimp (protein) with my strawberry quinoa beet salad.I like when I eat in a day as inspiration for preparing meals /recipe ideas. I like influencers that encourage me to eat healthy, balanced and delicious food that is both nourishing to the body and to the soul. When I start feeling like the influencer is Eating in a disordered way,- I move along. This video definitely does not pass the vibe check. She doesn't seem happy at all. I pray that she finds peace with food.

    they definately trigger me and I have to avoid them! It's my ED brain, I see what they eat and then if they're thin and are eating a lot or sweets it stresses me out a bit rather than comforting me. I think the What I eat in a day videos that help me are the ones openly made by people fighting anorexia because they're honest that they're struggling and don't make it seem so effortless

      I so agree that transparency is helpful with these videos. If someone can acknowledge when they're struggling rather than playing it off, that helps a lot! Do you have any creators you feel safe watching?

    How do you deal with the anxiety of being constipated & bloated after quitting?

    • @ParallelWellness
      @ParallelWellness 2 месяца назад

      That’s really tough, but know that it’s normal as your body adjusts. You can talk to your doctor about gentle medication options as you reduce your use, and also know that your bowels will start working more efficiently with time. The anxiety piece is about noticing your thoughts, reminding yourself that constipation and bloating do not mean you’ve gained weight, and will go away. Be super gentle on yourself - wear loose, comfortable clothes, have a hot bath, drink lots of water and don’t overdo it on fibre.

    Gurrrl! Great! Cause I was thinking about it. I have a problem binge eating kept weight off for 10 yes got into bodybuilding. Moved to a new country my G.A.D got worse and I gained 100lb on top of the 80lb I gain while pregnant all in 1yr. My heaviest way I got it was 295. I’m back into fitness and trying to be more aware of my binging triggers. Currently in the gym while commenting. With anything all medications have a down side. Especially ones that are new

      Every season of life comes with a different set of variables. Creating a sustainable and healthy relationship with food and movement can take several tweaks as your life changes. Motherhood is no joke either! What have your thoughts been about what you need next to be successful?
