Weight is a big topic for me. I've gone back and forth in my life
between eating disorders, I either eat everything or I don't eat. There
is nothing in my brain that has been able to find that happy medium,
ever. I have painstakingly plan meals and then set timers and check in
with myself if I have any hope of maintaining a healthy diet and I can
only do that for so long before I say fuck it. That's the first
struggle.
The second struggle is exercise. In the last few years, I've had hip,
shoulder, and knee injuries. That took my exercise from decent to
nonexistent in a hurry. I gained a massive amount of weight in the last
two years. If it wasn't affecting my asthma and my knee I wouldn't even
care, but it's a health issue at this point.
I was looking for low-impact workouts for larger bodies and was
extremely discouraged by what I found. It's all led by super skinny
people who can move their bodies in ways mine couldn't move when it was
thin and definitely can't move now. The exercises I used to do aren't
possible due to the injuries I've sustained, so I'm learning to work out
all over again.
Does anyone have any tips on healthy eating or struggling with eating disorders?
Does anyone have any good websites or youtube channels for larger bodies for workouts?
