Better Being Steph

[tam]

I think her body is absolutely fucked, in many reflection posts she has admitted her calories have been crazy low for extended periods so her metabolic rate has adjusted to be fuck all. Then surely seeing herself so puffy looking / undefined must be even more of a trigger. Can’t believe she’s even eating mentos during a run tbh

I think her new need to run further distances isn't helping her body either. I don't understand the wake ups at like 4am either...

who gets up at 4:30am to do a run before work?! seems a little extreme imo.

And pushes herself through injury for a run…

She mentioned in a previous story that she was wanting to study again 5 months after pushing through a FT degree, shift work, part owner in a business, major health issues… she doesn’t know how to stop.

It’s a rest day but she was up before 4am to walk on the treadmill…

up at 3:45 am to go to the gym before work. That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. The only time I get up for the day at 3:45am is for an early morning flight honestly!

 

[MilkAndTwoSugars]

she doesn’t look overly well – she looks absolutely exhausted, running a half marathon looks like the last thing she should be doing – she really needs to ease up on the exercise.!

Agree, where is the line between disciplined and disordered? I imagine her latest calorie deficit isn’t doing much so can see her again ramping up her restrictions and rules. So the cycle continues

 

[Ehmmmmm….]

Really showing how not to do life. You’re burnt out because you get up at 3.45am to “clear my head” do your excessive exercise under the guise of mental health. Surely sleep is more necessary than exercise.

Also, last night I went out. In the afternoon I bought myself a Pepsi max to help stay awake. Not really heroic stuff.

I really feel for this girl, she is obviously intelligent. But is so trapped in this cycle she’s created for herself.

She does know she can sit in a cafe and have a drink for her catch up with friends right?! doesnt have to be 32,000 step walks

Yeh, I thought the same thing. I didnt understand her comment that her reasoning for walking that much is due to meeting a friend? Like you say, sit in the park, have a picnic etc. Also by publicly displaying that number almost feels like showing off especially to many of her followers who may be triggered. I hope she’s ok.

Why does she always look SO sad when filming those pre workout videos

 

[MilkAndTwoSugars]

Very bloated and worst body image day but still goes to the gym in a little crop. Cant be that body conscious surely? i'd wear a loose tshirt on those days but thats just me.

wow, chill the hell out Steph! The user was just genuinely asking how you manage to heat fish at work, no need to fly off the handle! something tells me she's been reading here for her to get THAT worked up over an innocent message.

 

[macrofriendly]

as if she would ever decide NOT to work out who is she fooling?!

I constantly just feel so sad for her.

[MilkAndTwoSugars]

she needs to chill out!

 

[BooBoobedoo]

out walking at 4:23am…. shes nuts! absolutely
nuts and needs to get a life.

There are so many other ways to help with mental health that aren’t exercise. If you need to wake up long before dawn to exercise, you need to really think hard about how helpful it is, and if it is actually the ED controlling you.

 

[MilkAndTwoSugars]

Up at 3:45am to go to the gym before work. totally normal

 

[MilkAndTwoSugars]

i did like this tbf, some good points.

 

[kirst007]

In todays addition of im concerned files …. She’s been sick with a cold and clearly rundown but still needing the gym?

 

[KrittyKat]

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again - she binge eats. She shows us what she wants to and then binges or she’d be teeny tiny.

I dunno - her ED probably fucked with her hormones so much that’s she’s essentially like a menopausal woman - which means any level of stress - such as eating a very low calorie diet and doing high intensity exercise, and her stories show that she does both - will result in weight gain not loss.
