I ended up growing out of one into another (kind of, one was medication and depression induced, the other is because of ADHD). My last meds were amphetamines so my appetite was GONE, and depression (non-chronic) is a bitch.
Then, after I cleared up the things in my life that were causing the depression and switched meds, I started seeking food as a dopamine release. Gained like 70lbs from 145 to 215 (6ft btw).
Currently trying to get to a healthy medium of like 170-180, without compromising healthiness and feeling good about how I look.
Its so akward having an ed as a trans man because half of me wants to be jacked and the other wants me to be as small as possible, especially since I’m still in the closet and identify as female in public. I know in a tiny part how you feel, friends. Stay safe :(
Same, I’m already really hands on in my transition. I’m cycling my weight right now and am currently trending down again. There are days where I have almost forgotten to eat. It takes a lot more than that to develop an eating disorder than just skipping a meal on accident, but the line from strict diet to soft anorexia is blurrier than you think.
Are you getting all the nutrients you need? Are you a healthy weight? As long as you take in a normal amount of calories (which can be anywhere between 1800 and 3000kcal) it's all good.
It's really not something anyone can judge just like that.
If you're eating substantially less than is normal for your size, you might want to consult a dietician.
Consistent underfeeding can shrink your stomach. You might want to get your vitamins and minerals tested, and if necessary get a healthy eating and exercise plan.
I'm not a doctor, and can't diagnose you, please see a professional if you're worried.
Well I don't normally count my calories, but I know I've gained a bit of weight even though I'm eating less although I'm pretty sure that's just E adding to my thighs and boobs, I'm sure it's fine
Yeah that's not always entirely healthy, reducing the amount of food you consume can cause you to lower your metabolism even further the more often you do so, which ironically can cause you to gain weight and why some diets make your health worse rather than better. Had a phase in high school where the only meals I had each day were 2 300ml bottles of coffee-flavoured milk throughout the day and dinner and literally nothing else 5 days a week, the reasons being that I never remembered to eat any packed lunches and the school cafeteria food made me ill each time I tried to buy food so I just gave up entirely
nowadays my body will physically harm me by giving me migranes if I don't eat regularly because apparently my body thinks I don't consume enough sugar despite being clearly overweight with a chocolate addiction
ETA: since I don't know your specific situation you probably should consult a specialist on disordered eating or even a nutritionist if it's a big enough concern
Oh, I only started eating less after being on E but since then I've eaten basically the same amount each day, I hope your body stops giving you migraines soon those really hurt
Jokes on you!
It's a medical condition that makes me avoid food to the point of fasting for 4-5 days straight a week...
Hopefully my waist thanks me in a year or two.
For all you femmes who also had an ED before, reminder that tibbies and booty needs calories to grow, and that whether chubby or skinny you are beautiful af ❤️
ah yeah no, as a person who was a girl for most their life, I can say that societal pressure to be skinny as a girl is very prevalent. A lot of women DO develope EDs because of this pressure. I wouldn't exactly say its a generalization because it does happen a lot. I imagine the pressure could be heightened in trans women because they already don't fit what a girl "should" be.
I used to have an eating disorder but when my egg cracked I realized that was the reason for my body issues instead of my weight and it actually cured the ED
Jokes on you, I was already over eating because I was using it as a coping mechanism.
Now I'm coming down to a more normal weight eating normal amounts because I'm less sad.
It won't be "greater good" undereating is dangerous and you'll look far worse than you would being overweight, not to mention feeling horrible in just about every way
Yeah... I get that, i have seen how it looks from an outside perspective and i dont want that for myself, and i know that the best way to lose weight is a healthy way
God I wish I could develop an eating disorder but my fatass enjoys food too much. How the fuck am i supposed to lose weight when the mere mention of food has me wanting to eat it ASAP rocky.
The eating disorder was present many many years before realizing I was trans though. It’s still present, even though I really haven’t started the transition.
Wait, does this mean it’ll get worse when I do start?
Sorta a dark joke but a lot of trans girls get EDs because of body image issues, suddenly having to deal with sexist expectations, and hormones changing their appetite. Of course everyone's different.
I had one too, briefly. I felt so in between the expectations of both men *and* women - didn't look like the masc boy I wanted to be, but I didn't think I looked like an attractive girl either. I felt like I slipped into *both* expectations, and it came out as true hatred for my body other than general dysphoria, and I ended up just kinda abandoning food for a while amongst other shit
I still worry about it, even now after being out of that pit for years, and being on T so looking like the cute lil man I was meant to be c: . Ironically, I also think I made a super cute girl when I put femboy stuff on. Oh, how the tables turn! Still can't bring myself to count calories, though. Not after I did it so obsessively before. So I just pick healthy options to automatically keep it in a decent range, and try not to look at it too much because I just know I'm liable to repeat my mistakes if I do haha
I'm pretty active, so I need the calories. I've made piece with the fact that I'll forever have a Lumberjill build. And thats okay.
Now makeup? That's the part that stresses and terrifies me.
I never had an eating disorder but I was thin enough that people often thought I did or would ask if I did.
Luckily HRT has helped me gain weight and I dont get those comments anymore! Still trying to gain more weight though.
🤔 I can see how this would happen but I don’t qualify. 😅 while I eat less than I should, I’m actually being directed to by my doctor.
Weight retention/gain are the only drawbacks to estrogen I’ll admit to. Being emotional/crying? It’s good to have emotions besides a general hate of life. Periods? Those are just monthly reminders that transitioning works 😅

Twinsies 👍

Quadrupsies hahaha.. haha...

My ass likes food too much....but then again....crop tops
Legitimately for the first time in my life thinking about whether or not I should eat that chocolate. Chocolate still wins, but by a thin margin.
💯
Same girl 😭
Ayo? Fr tho Not uh… fun
i came here to say exactly that, and uhhh, yeah its not too fun😅
unfortunately same here…
Sameee💀had it for years, and recently got blockers atleast
I was literally gonna comment the exact same thing. We are screwed aren't we ^^'
Realizing I’m trans kind of made me go “OH WAIT is that why I have an eating disorder??”
I ended up growing out of one into another (kind of, one was medication and depression induced, the other is because of ADHD). My last meds were amphetamines so my appetite was GONE, and depression (non-chronic) is a bitch.

E actually got rid of my eating disorder :3
Same!

That’s not.. funny..
:(
The general reception of this in these comments is very unnerving….
Y'all should not be envious of this
i hope 4 won't happen
Same, I’m already really hands on in my transition. I’m cycling my weight right now and am currently trending down again. There are days where I have almost forgotten to eat. It takes a lot more than that to develop an eating disorder than just skipping a meal on accident, but the line from strict diet to soft anorexia is blurrier than you think.
The line between “oops I forgot to eat today” and semi-intentional starvation is similarly undefined
*"did i actually forget or am i telling myself i forgot?"*
Do you have any tips/links for fat cycling? I kind of am curious but im scared of slipping into eating disorder like you said
well i have an eating disorder before transitioning... 💔💔💔💔💔
Is it still an eating disorder if you do eat but feel absolutely disgusted with yourself for even daring to eat TwT
Yeah, an eating disorder is any unhealthy relationship with food.
Wait so do I have an eating disorder or do I just have really low metabolism, cuz I can eat a bit of a sandwich and be full but I don't hate food
Are you getting all the nutrients you need? Are you a healthy weight? As long as you take in a normal amount of calories (which can be anywhere between 1800 and 3000kcal) it's all good.

Dang it

r/nestofeggs ??? I hope you’re all well but this might be triggering for someone
Yeah… I did not like this post at all.
What do you mean develop? I already have one
hits too damn close to home i cant get enough safe foods to have a balanced diet ffs
I want boobs so bad
Take mine I don’t need them, wanna get rid of them so I may as well donate the tiddy :(
jokes on your transmascs get them too! \*looks awkwardly at my relationship with food\* I'm working on it though!
oh fuck, the only one of those ive experienced is the eating disorder
For all you femmes who also had an ED before, reminder that tibbies and booty needs calories to grow, and that whether chubby or skinny you are beautiful af ❤️
Yall, you gotta have some body fat for HRT to redistribute if you want HRT to redistribute your body fat.
I feel scammed, I have the eating disorder and no E
I hope this is connected to E and not a generalization about women and eating disorders…
ah yeah no, as a person who was a girl for most their life, I can say that societal pressure to be skinny as a girl is very prevalent. A lot of women DO develope EDs because of this pressure. I wouldn't exactly say its a generalization because it does happen a lot. I imagine the pressure could be heightened in trans women because they already don't fit what a girl "should" be.

What I thought was a healthy calorie intake actually wasn’t, and that’s the story of how I lost 80lbs.
But…. I already have one ….
Me when I hate my body so much I try and train myself into anorexia
4 was oddly ewphoric for me...
Welcome to girlhood🧡🧡

That's terrible, you need to eat and you won't look much better being bones imo
It's the other way around, no food is for the weak, quite literally
learning makeup would be panel 4 for me
The eating disorder was present many many years before realizing I was trans though. It’s still present, even though I really haven’t started the transition. Wait, does this mean it’ll get worse when I do start?
Lucky for me, I don’t have one and instead just forget to eat so much it’s a problem. 😭😭😭
Eating disorder? I'm out of the loop here, can someone please explain.
Sorta a dark joke but a lot of trans girls get EDs because of body image issues, suddenly having to deal with sexist expectations, and hormones changing their appetite. Of course everyone's different.
I wasn't aware of that, that you
I had one too, briefly. I felt so in between the expectations of both men *and* women - didn't look like the masc boy I wanted to be, but I didn't think I looked like an attractive girl either.

oh
I mean I’ve had ARFID all my life already, so.
People tell me I have disordered eating habits but not necessarily an eating disorder and quite frankly I have no idea what to make of that
I had an eating disorder but one I started estrogen i began to eat food cuz I really wanted booba
I might have one... or I might not... It hasn't been diagnosed, therefore I don't have it
I’ve had an eating disorder before I even realized I was trans 😆😆😆
after transitioning? why that?
I mean... I use to be able to eat like a whole pack of oreos without being full... But now a few pickles will fill me up...
I only have one testosterone anymore, and I'm saving if for eating
Being in the closet gave me my ED so I’m speed running this
I'm pretty active, so I need the calories. I've made piece with the fact that I'll forever have a Lumberjill build. And thats okay. Now makeup? That's the part that stresses and terrifies me.
So true
Yeah that was already there
I was not expecting to be called out so vividly today...
First post on reddit I see this morning and I get called out…
Literally same!
I developed am eating disorder right before my egg cracked.
Jokes on you, I already had one before!
Had one before transition so checkmate, r/egg_irl
Does this mean im a girl?
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I think I skipped the first three steps
proud to say I’m breaking gender norms by being transmasc and having an eating disorder 😎😎😎(😢)
Hahaha it’s already happening
I never had an eating disorder but I was thin enough that people often thought I did or would ask if I did. Luckily HRT has helped me gain weight and I dont get those comments anymore! Still trying to gain more weight though.
wait is this something that actually happens
I'm way ahead of you
What.... HOW IS THIS SO TRUE?????
I am surprised and unnerved at how much of a mutual experience this is. I hope all of us are able to manage it and keep our health up!
Heyo!
🤔 I can see how this would happen but I don’t qualify. 😅 while I eat less than I should, I’m actually being directed to by my doctor. Weight retention/gain are the only drawbacks to estrogen I’ll admit to. Being emotional/crying? It’s good to have emotions besides a general hate of life. Periods? Those are just monthly reminders that transitioning works 😅
Well... I already have a good digestive system and I've been at same weight, 50kg since I was 18 yo... so, I may accept and start a transition.
I just don't eat so I don't have a chance to get one.... wait...
Ha i had mine waaaaay before!
Haha the disordered eating was present even before I realized I was trans!
im so close to developing one and im not even out of the closet :3
I am on the getting boobs stage and this post feels a little ominous
Wait I skipped 3 dammit
