    To people judging that man in the park - This is just a translation issue due to English being a second language. He obviously means that people are pressured to look younger and more youthful, which is absolutely true of the modern beauty standard, especially with all of the “age reversal” and “youthfulness product” fads going around right now. Don’t judge people for having a difficult time translating their complex thoughts into a second language.

      I'm somewhat skinny myself. I'm 6'0 and weigh about 150 Lbs, not because I have any self-image issues or ED in particular, but because I'm too lazy to cook 😂
      I was on a bulk a couple of year ago and weighed 172 Lbs at my peak, but lost all of that weight VERY QUICKLY due to going from 4 meals a day to 2 as I started getting more busy and stopped working out. I just recently started to bulk again and hopefully this time I will maintain the progress.

    Orthorexia is a huge thing in CO. It starts with wanting to be healthy, but the more you learn about growth hormones, pesticides, processed food, and the food industry as a whole, the less you want to eat. You start to feel like there are no safe foods at all.

      At the same time it's pretty scary that if one wants to eat clean and safe, there objectively might seem to be not many options left. I'm even eyeballing the veggies and meat at my market, thinking that the ones raised at my grandma's farm taste much better and probably have more nutrients. I get why it's a bad issue when in turns into anxiety inducing obsession, but we really live in a world where this legitimately can turn into an issue -.-

    I've been obese my entire life. I moved to Boulder and lived there for a couple years back in the early 2000s. It was known as the fittest city in the US then, too, but I didn't know that before moving there. I was moving from Michigan, and I arranged to rent a room from a woman in Boulder before I arrived. The first thing she said to me when we met was, "You didn't mention that you're a larger person." Then later that day she told me she was worried that I would break her glass shower door because of my size. I've never had any trouble fitting in a shower,. I moved out the next day. I found another roommate situation with someone who was kind as could be. I ended up losing 80 pounds while living in Boulder. There was definitely a pressure to be fit in Boulder, and some people are extremely judgmental and rude about it. Not everyone, though. Maybe not even most people.

      you cant control other people and the choices they make.

I love staying fit and am very active and healthy but i don’t go out of my way to be rude to others who don’t appear to be the same as me. You don’t know what people go through on a day to day basis and adding negativity to a strangers day is not proactive, it is very unnecessary . Hope this helps!

      @WraithHaze54 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@coffeevanilla2801 For me a big part of it was fear. I’m sure you’re very smart, people with eating disorders usually are. And you have a lot of determination to cut down that much. What you need to realize is that while it works those first few months, when you run out of fat for your body to burn you will die. I was lucky to be put in a program for 3 months to recover, but it was very much torture. I had to leave the door open when I used the restroom, they weighed me every day in a hospital gown and refused to tell me my weight, they made me order things with high caloric value off of a menu everyday. Eventually I wanted to die. The only reason I kept going was because there were other kids there, just like me, and they cared. They didn’t want me to die and they made me keep going. If I were you I would try to seek help. Create punishments for yourself. Discipline. “If I don’t eat this for breakfast today I ___” I don’t know if you do any sports, but try eating before you run or do something that requires stamina. You’ll realize how much better you are when you eat. If you need specific advice, feel free to reach out! 🙂 Everyone’s journey is different, and mine may not apply. Just do your best to recover!

      I've had gut issues my whole life and the pain from them kick-started my ED at 7 years old. I developed disabling autoimmune illness in my early 20s and then my relationship with food got even worse because I was physically unable to work out. It's been 7 years of living with my illness, and I've finally had enough of feeling limited by it so I am very slowly reintroducing a gym routine to my body. Because of this, I've started eating more and purposefully eating more protein. The way that my stomach has 1) stopped being bloated all the time and 2) doesn't hurt so often and 3) I'm actually able to have normal BMs. This all really shocked me. I thought I ate a normal amount of food for a sedentary person, but I think I may have been undereating this whole time, unintentionally restricting my progress with my autoimmune disease, too. I hope our society can find a balance in how we talk about intake and our bodies. A body that feels good should be our priority, not just one that looks good.

      i don't get it why ppl have eating disorder. when i started my weight loss i was 164 kg (361 lbs) heavy. i looked up a diet. i literally eat coocked chicken breast, brown rice with random seasoning and a raw vegetalbe or fruit every meal. i premake it, portion it for 3 days ahead of time. i sleep at least 7 hours, 2 hour of workout 4 times a week started obviously with only walking because i was in need of stamina. that's it. it is that easy. hard part is sticking to the plan. if you don't feel like working out you do it anyways because you track back your weight and see the progress. this program does not do miracle, but i can tell you that it is working consistent if you do it right. (not skipping a workout, not neglecting sleep and ofcourse don't cheat whit the meals) if you have a holiday coming up, you do an intermittent fasting and right before the meal you eat a low calorie high volume stuff like raw cabbage, lots of it, and just eat the cake and whatever the meal is. in the long run there are less holidays than regular days. worry about sticking to your plan, and don't worry about holidays. your heavy weight is not somethign you gained overnight or in a year. you gained it like at least for 10 years. getting rid of it is should not be easy either. if you do it in a healty way. you need to take your time and fix the problem in years time. don't be frustrated about the pace, it does't help.

      ​@@TimothyZanyk That's not remotely correct whatsoever

    • @DemraSynfata
      @DemraSynfata หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​​​@@TimothyZanyk First off, anxiety is not an eating disorder. Eating disorders are the second most lethal mental illness behind substance dependence. So don't downplay that.
      Second, women don't just have anxiety-- it's life-consuming misogynistic societal pressure that directly effects how successful we're allowed to be. Our only value is NOT attractiveness, by the way, but that probably came to your mind first because you are a man, who is primarily benefitted by misogyny. You've never been subject to the ridiculous pageantry that is existing as a woman, and you seemingly don't even see a problem with our worth being solely decided by how attractive we are, to the extent that it murders us. That is misogyny at play, which you fundamentally do not and will not ever understand as a male. Your assumptions are prime evidence of this, so take a step back and listen please.
      Third, when you're fat, it effects every area of your life. Not just attractiveness. When you're a fat woman, your efforts are worth even less, and people are generally less approving of you until you go out of your way to prove yourself. And even then, misogyny still places a hard cap on what others think you deserve, and thus what you can realistically achieve. Get too successful, and people can and will dedicate themselves to bringing you down specifically because you're fat and "don't deserve" nice things.
      This same TH-camr has a video of living in a fat suit with full prosthetics for a day, I encourage you to check that one out. He's not a woman, but he sees first hand how cruel and demoralizing life can be when you're fat. So imagine that and MORE on the daily, as your reward for just existing.
      Fourth, an eating disorder is not "eating to relieve stress", and assuming that someone does that because they're fat is incredibly insulting. Binge eating disorders do exist, however, anorexia remains as the most common eating disorder. And, the vast majority of eating disorder sufferers are overweight. This means a LOT of fat people are actually starving themselves to extreme lengths for the sake of attractiveness.... and this is mostly because of people like you who do not think critically about the judgements you place on others. You're either lucky to be thin, or you're also fat and just hate yourself. And at the end of the day, you're not even a doctor, so you should probably keep comments about fat people looking ugly to yourself.
      Fat doesn't even neccesarily mean ugly. There have been many times in history where being fat was a social sign of wealth and power, and thus seen as incredibly attractive. Even now, we praise "fat" women who either get lucky or surgically remove fat in less sexualized areas, and we call that "thicc". It's subjective and ultimately means nothing-- because body weight is not always a direct predictor of health, and attractiveness is superficial and ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
      As an example-- when I was a teen, my BMI was 30, however I ate less than 1000 cals on a daily basis and exercised for a full hour in target heart rate zone every single day for a year. After losing 30lbs in the first month, I stopped losing weight. Your metabolism slows down to compensate for starvation, and your body begins breaking down your organs and muscles for fuel. I could bench press 300 lbs with my legs, but my thyroid was being eaten alive. After 10 years my thyroid-- which directly controls metabolism btw-- has finally fully recovered from the damage. I am still a fat f🎉ck and I probably always will be. At this point, undereating and taxing my body further would be the most unhealthy thing I could do for myself. I am much healthier being fat than I am trying to achieve a body my genetics and organs are not capable of having and maintaining. It's the same for many, many people, especially women who have PCOS like I do. My docs won't even prescribe metformin or ozempic (not for diabetes-- for PCOS due to insulin resistance naturally caused by the disorder) because of my eating disorder history, and because 2 of my other meds already act as appetite suppressants. There is no way out of this fat body, thus I must choose to love it. And that's never your call to make unless it's about your own body.

      I've lived in Boulder the last five years, but having lived in seven different states before that, I can say that the negative stigma around smoking nicotine in Boulder (and maybe CO in general) is much higher than any other city I've lived in. I have a friend who smokes, and when he visits people will glare at him like he's actively giving them lung cancer even if we are standing outside and far from any buildings. If you're gonna smoke here, its gotta be marijuana to be socially acceptable. I think that has a huge effect on the number of smokers, as well.

The "high" got as low as 28F one day & in the 30s or 40s for most of the days. At night it got down to 2F. As in "two". In L.A., there were 7 days above 70F, including a couple 80F. Most of the others were in the 60s. I might move to Fort Collins or Denver if it wasn't so gosh darn cold. I was there in Aug trying to do 14ers but I only got 2 due to the monsoons.

    I think what the gentlemen at the park said about the the expectation of women looking like they are going through "puberty" (or in other words, women looking like teenagers) is 100% true. People don't want to say it but teenage girls are idolized in every culture including North American. There is a reason why fantasies like school girls, the babysitter, "barely legal" and "just turned 18" is so popular with many straight men.
    North American beauty standards' for women puts pressure on women to look as young as possible (e.g. no wrinkles, perky breasts, no pubic hair, small waist, flat stomach). By today's standards, a 30 year old woman may as well be geriatric. I genuinely believe this is because many men consider women to be their most beautiful at 16-18 years old and as a result those desires have trickled into beauty standards and expectations for women.

    As a Colorado native who lives extremely close to boulder and has my entire life I would have loved to put an input in. A lot of the state sees boulder differently. From eating disorders and lifestyles it’s very odd being so close but far enough away. The front range is its own beast as is. Colorado over all is a pretty healthy state I would say it’s more of the lifestyle that differs from city to city.

      Another Colorado native here, moved to Boulder in 1986, loved Boulder, rode my bike all the time. I don't seem to meet all these people that some commenters say are rude or smug. The only reason I don't live in Boulder is that when it came time to buy a house, I had to move slightly outside of town, but not that far. I worked at CU for 30+ years, people have always been nice and friendly. The western slope is way more dangerous and on the crazy train side, I still visit as I have friends there, but I certainly wouldn't live there. All my family is gone from there so there isn't much of a draw except cheap golf.

    Gotta comment, I’m living in Denver atm but we used to live in Boulder. It’s my favorite place on Earth! I raised my kiddo from one to about eleven years old in Boulder. I cannot think of a better place for his childhood. Parks and playgrounds all over, including on the Pearl Street Mall. Then of course the foothills, trails, and Boulder Creek. Amazing place, just got priced out. It’s expensive to live there, but now all of CO is becoming too expensive as well. I’d move back in a heartbeat if our finances changed.

    It's likely worth noting that Boulder has an unusually high elite and professional athlete population. There are multiple professional running teams based there and probably professional cycling teams as well (I only really follow running closely). Those lads mentioned the olympian who had moved there but loooads of athletes move there to live and train at altitude to improve their overall performances. At least one major sportswear brand has a performance lab there as well.
    Being so close to the mountains definitely helps what with trails and adventures being so easily accessible. The city I live in the UK is right next to a national park and we seem to have colossal running, hiking, climbing and cycling communities here as a result, so I'd say that absolutely plays a huge role.

      Women and men are not supposed to be fat. I’m sorry - but that’s utterly idiotic. Being fat kills you. I don’t blame people necessarily, as capitalism needs people to think being fat is normal so that money can be made from them….(pharma and processed foods, etc).
      With all of that said - it’s irresponsible to tell another human that being fat is ok

      I prefer athletic looking women and even then I just don't find the 85 lb starving model look. People think you're either only attracted to stick figures or just someone with as much curves as they can put on, and there's a lot of subtleties to attraction. Anyways I just don't understand how the Victoria secret model standard came about, and when I think of the people that demand it, without getting in trouble on TH-cam ,are the types of people that aren't exactly whats considered normal.
