So a significant side effects of my medication is greater sense of hunger and weight gain. People obviously say it should be easy not to gain weight knowing it, because 'it's enough to just not eat more and exercise : )'. But I wonder if these people know how it feels to try to ignore hunger and exercise when your whole body aches just from taking a walk. Especially if your brain needs stimulation and when you're already struggling with disordered eating. It's a literal torture. Chronically ill people should never be shamed for gaining weight. Nobody should.

#this rant is sponsored by me being fat and too damn tired of 'good advice' on how to get slim and fuckable #'just eat less' is not the great advice you think it is #i don't have time or mental energy to weight and calculate calories of every single thing I eat #especially as I'm in pain #i can't focus only on my food intake read every single label and weight my portions it's insane!#and eyeballing it runs the risk of UNDEReating which will inevitably result in a binge #not to even mention that it's already difficult to have a balanced diet with the proper amount of vegetables and grains #oh also i have food restrictions (fortunately just a few) and some food I theoretically shouldn't eat to make my condition better #but it's just. not manageable. I don't have money for a nutritionist and a private cook #so there's that. and before someone chimes in 'but you don't need x to...' or 'you can easily just...' yes I do and no I can't : )#tw disordered eating #tw diet #tw weight
