I’m glad you were able to recognize those habits, get a handle on things and lose weight. It sounds like it was a serious struggle for you. I hope you’re more proud of the achievement than how embarrassed you sound writing about the struggle. <3

I don’t think I’d be able to do that anyway. Poverty brain makes me very cheap and I have serious money anxiety. Not to mention I just can’t eat that much before feeling sick. I wish I could eat tiramisu 24/7, but it costs like $15 for a block of it and my stomach cant handle any more than that in a day anyway. Even if I did eat an entire tiramisu every day, it still wouldn’t be enough calories to get where I need to be. I walk about 10 miles a day while carrying weight.

Ideally I’d want the fat in my butt and chest and not my around my liver lol

Yeah I know, I’m a bad American. A trans woman who excerises regularly and doesn’t consume much sugar. I was just considering milk, but I worry a bit about taking in too much calcium. I have bad kidneys and get stones pretty frequently. I’ll have to talk to my dr before I try that one.

Yeah one of my gym friends said to drink a lot of mass gainer, but that stuff is like $100 a bucket. I’ll look into making a diy version though

I do eat breakfast, but I don’t take lunches at work. So I have an egg sandwich and a coffee in the morning and then try to eat as much as I can from 4p-11p.

I have a really physical job and I have been seriously struggling to actually capitalize on weight distribution. According to a web calculator and some gym people I talked to I need a daily intake of 3100-3400 calories to actually put on weight. I don’t know how I could eat that much physically and financially. I’ve been trying to up my intake and eat lots of ice cream, but I’m so used to eating like 1800 calories and I’m essentially not hungry for the day by like 2400.

Update:

I just counted today’s calories:

  • 100 - dd coffee
  • 110 - dd hash browns
  • 540 - dd egg sandwich
  • 400 - aldi calzone
  • 220 - protein shake with whole milk
  • 480 - 4 aldi swiss rolls
  • ———
  • 1850 - total

I dunno how I’m gonna squeeze another 1300 calories in. Maybe I’ll drink 7 protein shakes tomorrow.

Take estrogen.

If I had to pick one, it’s my Gameboy. I use that the most.

There’s also: probably half of my books, most of my cameras, my old consoles, my sewing machine, and there’s probably more stuff. I’m kind of obsessed with old things.

Nice jacket! It fits really well.

My most recent cool thrift find was a little 1962 Kodak Brownie Holiday camera in perfect condition. I haven’t been able to find any good clothes for like a month, but I have a lot of kinda flashy stuff and I’ve been trying to find more basics.

Damn, looks great! I’m actually so addicted to thrifting. I go to like 3 stores a week and I’m constantly scrolling depop.
