I love your first post! You are so right! Part of me going back and forth on mpa is I get discouraged when kids under 20 asking questions or trying to join me in my f..up behaviours... glad this does not stop you! Yes 3 weeks into ABC is huge achievement! It is refreshing and encouraging to see your progress not only in ABC but in life general (stopped drinking).

Aww thank you!I love your first post! You are so right! Part of me going back and forth on mpa is I get discouraged when kids under 20 asking questions or trying to join me in my f..up behaviours... glad this does not stop you! Yes 3 weeks into ABC is huge achievement! It is refreshing and encouraging to see your progress not only in ABC but in life general (stopped drinking).
Yep, MPA used to be cool, but it's riddled with wannarexic kids these days - the K-pop stans are the worst of the bunch as they're beyond delusional & clearly have zero comprehension of the corruption & abuse in the idol industry
There tends to be peaks & troughs of butterfly infestations - pre Summer/just before autumn term starts/few weeks before Halloween/ few weeks before Christmas, etc
When Starving in Suburbia/To the Bone came out, there was an influx of them too
I think the most idiotic butterfly post I've seen was 'I want to go to a psych ward' as they'd seen To the Bone/Girl Interrupted & had this bizarre, romantic delusion that nuthouses are full of beautiful people who become BFFs & learn & grow & share, etc - laughed my ass off at that one!
Last nuthouse stay I had, we had a chick who - without fail - laid a fresh poo somewhere in the TV room every morning & watched with glee as staff tried to find it, lmao
My Pancake Addiction was pretty cool - largely grown ups & pretty chill. EDC has the advantage of privacy (non members can't access anything) but it's pretty dead. Project Shapeshift is super strict & only diagnosed folk are allowed to sign up, but I find it bleak AF
Best way to protect yourself is to stick a disclaimer on your main posts, just to make it clear that you have no responsibility for what idiots do with your data. I need to look into blocking butterflies - not sure if we have that functionality

Reading a few really interesting books on intermittent fasting, the science of obesity, hormones, insulin regulation, etc & I'm completely ahead of myself, but if I do a complete, perfect run of ABC applying the things I've learned, I think I'll have cracked the code on how to beat the notoriously hard, 25+ year old bastard that is ABC.
Legit intermittent fasting as a lifestyle (without food type restrictions, no CICO, etc) is brilliant & I think it will ultimately be my ticket out of my eating disorder as there's still the elements of control, maths, rules, etc that I get off on & need to stay sane(ish)
Here's what I've been reading - I've yet to apply the 'if it tastes sweet, even if it's zero calorie, you can't have it in your fasting window as it still spikes your insulin & you won't burn fat' rule in most of these as that's more for the long term lifestyle where you can eat as much as you want in your eating window, which is obviously not a feature of ABC.
I might apply that rule if I hit a plateau tho - it'd also make the super low days a lot easier.
I've kinda done accidental OMAD the last couple of days & I'm finding it pretty effective, so I think I'll continue it intentionally. It's nice having a 'proper' meal to look forward to & it's better to spend the day's caloric limit on real food high in fibre, fat & protein rather than picking on crap all day - I think that's one of the common ABC downfalls as folk will spend 200 odd calories on a sad little packet of crisps with zero nutritional value, so their body is screaming for food it can actually use to function & that's how binges are born.
PS: I'm extremely poor, so I torrented all these, which is very, very naughty & something you absolutely should not do, especially not using 1337x . to

Day 4 - 400 Limit
Scale said I became 257lbs overnight, so safe to say it's died
Measured my waist instead & I'm 0.5 inches down from Day 1 of this ABC round, so that generally indicates a 7lbs total loss so far (a dress size) which sounds about right as a kids top I love is a lot less tight today & my accountability/honesty jeans are baggier
Will get a new scale later on today so I can check tomorrow
