THIS IS AN APP FOR PPL WITH MENTAL ILLNESS! PLEASE DO NOT ENCOURAGE FASTING OR ANY TYPE OF DIETING! that is unacceptable

yeah, they deleted their comments supporting a person with ocd to fast but mine r still there. anyway just encouraging fasting in non-religious settings or for ppl who aren’t pre diabetic (because fasting is a medical approach for pre diabetics) is super dangerous and especially dangerous when we all have an obsessive disorder on here. maybe i’m “overreacting” but yeah i don’t think so imo. ughhhhh fasting is so bad for ur health unless a doctor recommends u to & it is verrrryyyyy rarely a doctor would EVER recommend that so yeah

thank u babe!!:)

i can’t tell u what to do for ur body. i just was pointing out that u should never tell someone w mental illness to fast because sometimes ppl have eating disorders! also overreacting does not mean u should fast. ur body needs food to keep it fueling regardless of how much u ate last. i have an eating disorder so this is just what i’ve learned from nutritionists. u should never punish urself for overeating. once u try to learn to stop when ur full, healthy eating becomes possible. no ur not gonna get obsessive about it! u could, but u could get ocd about anything :). check this out: https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2851&context=extension_curall AND remember, even if u overeat, u still should have ur next meal. no skipping! eventually if u pay attention to hunger and fullness ches, overreacting will happen less often

& if u physically feel better fasting every once in a while (not everyday that can b dangerous), that’s cool! if it works it works for u! but starvation aka regularly fasting is v bad

@lmaocd i mean overeating not overreacting lol

@lmaocd I see what you mean, thank you. Do you mean fasting as in going multiple days without eating? I do intermittent fasting where I don’t eat before 10am and don’t eat after 6pm and I actually really like it. Does that count? I still eat daily. I didn’t think about people with eating disorders because I’ve never struggled with eating disorders myself so I’m not sure what could trigger someone.

@Jay Yeah I’d never starve myself, and I’d never recommend such a thing to anyone. I love food a little too much and that’s kind of my problem. I’m mad? I eat. I’m upset? I eat. I’m stressed? I eat. I have nothing else to do? I eat. Even when I’m not really hungry at all.

@Jay then i would recommend reading the link i sent & try to find some cool hobbies to do instead of using the eating as a coping mechanism. i’ve been there before! yeah the person was talking about intermittent fasting which is done regularly as a daily thing which is super dangerous to do it that often that’s called dieting & starvation which is so bad for u!. but yeah i’ve also bought this book & it helped a lot to stop me from overeating & undereating: https://www.target.com/p/the-intuitive-eating-workbook-by-evelyn-tribole-elyse-resch-paperback/-/A-78144051?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&fndsrc=tgtao&DFA=71700000012510700&CPNG=PLA_Entertainment%2BShopping&adgroup=SC_Entertainment&LID=700000001170770pgs&LNM=PRODUCT_GROUP&network=g&device=m&location=9010963&targetid=pla-839186529589&ds_rl=1246978&ds_rl=1248099&gclid=CjwKCAiAv4n9BRA9EiwA30WND_QvoY4gAFanvZ9LA2xAzcU6MVTm70NLvEBWbFV61NlmheycsHf5zxoC02AQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

@lmaocd the if diet would be starvation if u feel starved & u r not filling ur body with food. if u start to feel hungry, cool but if u keep feeling like ur starved u need to fuel ur body. i’m not rlly sure if ur if plan is okay or not cuz i’m not a nutritionist but i’ve worked with nutritionists & they’ve told me to never fast to the point of feeling starved and not everyday

@lmaocd I got you. I’ll check it out. Thanks.
