Pretty much. If they made a "Pokemon Fitness" that tracked steps or heart rate and calories burned, it would be the same thing. "Your steps were converted to fitness energy! Here are the Pokemon you met in your walk!"

It's not a game, it's a gamified tool. It's a sleep tracking app with gameplay elements to keep one interested.

I'm so happy this distraction tactic is working and everyone is talking about a goddamn laptop instead of the actual court case.

My brother has been there more than my parents have. Whenever Mom and dad exchanged custody, he was there.

And I guess I have always had this idealized vision of my mom.its been two months, but I'm still having problems flipping that switch, allowing myself to let them go. 37 years is a long time, ya know?

I don't know much, but what I've heard, doesn't he invite people onto his show in a bad faith attempt to deconstruct their viewpoints instead of having an actual discussion or conversation?

In any case, I'm not a fan of debate shows, especially if the people have unwavering and aggressive views. I deal with enough of that shit from my own family.

In addition, false flaggers can go directly to hell. They have no intent of having constructive conversations, and instead wish to just aggressively attack people based on their own biases and bigotry.

Sky, it doesn't anger me. I have genuine concern for you. I, myself have major depressive disorder, as do all three of my kids. My oldest is battling an addiction with cutting. Your depression touches me deeply, and I want to help you and I don't know how.

Honestly, there are many more people much more knowledgeable than me, in this community. But, with what knowledge I do have, it should redistribute some fatty tissue, I think, regardless of weather or not you lose weight. It may take longer than you expect, or the changes may have been happening and you haven't noticed.

I would almost recommend maybe recording your own timeline, but with your body image issues it may be difficult for you.

I deeply apologize for coming off as angry.

Well, I gave you my advice. If you use it or don't, that's up to you. Good luck, Godspeed.

Then you aren't taking care of your body well. Your body still needs energy, and if you don't have enough energy to move, you won't be losing weight. You will be too tired to exercise, and won't burn any calories.

Your body is trying to conserve energy cuz you arent taking care of it well. Three small meals will treat you so much better than the one. It sounds counterintuitive, I know, but if you don't feel well enough to do anything, you won't.

Edit: could also be why your mental health has been in the shitter. If you aren't eating well, it really messes with you, mind and body. Eating so little will make you sick, foggy, and have no energy to do anything

Keto worked for me for a while. It's a high fat, mid protein, low carb diet.

You want to keep carbohydrate intake super low. Basically, your veg intake will mostly be green leafy veggies. Fruit, for the most part, is a no-go. Fruit is super high in sugar.

No bread, no pasta.

Allllllll the meat you want. Burgers, wapped in lettuce. Meat based (vs bean based) chili.

There are many, many keto recipes out there. But again, all diets boil down to minding your calorie intake. It may help you to download a calorie tracking app.

Do you have a local park you could walk at? Bicycling? Pushups and situps at home? There's ways, friend. I sincerely wish you luck.

I'm sure you saw my pic the other day. My biology isn't doing me any favors either. And so what if you were larger pre-transition? As I said before, if you are serious about losing weight, start tracking your calories, and start going for walks. Cut out sodas and other sugary drinks and foods. Sugars are the enemy.

I put my baby pic away. I don't keep any of my pics pre-coming-out out where I can see. Don't look at photos. Why are you looking at them? Stop it. Stop punishing yourself. You know you hate looking at them. So, don't.

No you don't. Friend, there are plus-sized cis women. Weight is not gender. Height is not gender.

I'm struggling, too, to find my style. My mom flat out said she won't help me clothes shop. She keeps saying things about how I'm an adult and I should put my big girl panties on and I don't need the support of my mother.

Sorry, inserted my own drama. But my point is, try. I got frustrated a few weeks ago cuz I went to goodwill and they have taken out their dressing rooms. There are other thrift stores tho. And if you are afraid of being recognized in your home town cuz you aren't out publicly yet, go to a thrift store out of your town. Might be good anyways. It could help you be less self-conscious knowing you won't have a possibility of seeing these people ever again.

For sure. Roleplay as different characters can be cathartic. I used to primarily pick female characters in games, and wasn't entirely sure why. I like them. I wanted to be them. On a personal level. I just didn't realize the depth at the time.

After I first came out as trans, I redid my GTA character, to be more in line with how I see myself or my trans goals, and seeing her, me, on screen, feels good, positive. I asked my son to make his goals instead of his current body, and while he enjoyed the gameplay, he enjoys the game that much more cuz he gets to be himself too.

If you haven't tried making "you", and not some charicature of yourself, I highly recommend it.
