hiii hope this is okay to ask. I really like your blog because I have a similar experience (accidental recovery? Lol sort of) in that my goal is just controlled weight loss atp. I wanted to ask how you stop your stomach growling all the time and everyone noticing? I know it slows down after a while but that hasn't happened yet and people keep buying me food I have to refuse and giving me looks.
yes ofc it is!
my mum doesn't check up on me so she wouldn't know. my bf knows about the weight loss and is supportive of it (to a certain weight). I don't really spend time with anyone else. also my tummy doesn't rumble often? idk why, it's never been a rumbler, even back when I starved.
as for tips:
whenever it did decide to rumble tho, if I ate something small in the morning and then nothing it would rumble. so I guess if you're doing OMAD do the meal later in the day? like a dinner time meal, not breakfast.
also water and drinks, warm is better. they kinda fill up your stomach and you just sound like a water bottle instead lol
eating veggies is great cause they also fill you up, but are low in kcals.
and as for buying you things, I just refuse or give them to my bf. I recently got sweets for my bday and I just put them in my cupboard for a day where I have a big enough deficit, or when I'm satisfied with the weight. it works if they don't expect u to eat it right then and there.
you can try avoiding tensing your abs around people, cause sometimes my stomach rumbles even when it's full if I flex. idk why, seems random to me but u can check if it's the same for u lol
hope this helps!
I hate when people that aren't failing or losers call themselves that. so you're in uni, have a perfect body, a bf, you're studying, you have hobbies and you're a loser? ok. you can feel like one, can't control feelings right, but calling yourself one? please.

ive always been pro recovery, even at my worst, but I can't apply the logic to myself. I wanna up my goal weight, cause I realised I actually looked good at a few numbers higher too, but I was definitely healthier and I feel less valid? like if I up the number it's like I gave up and lost, and am still a fat pig.
ffs Id still have a six pack and a thigh gap, isn't that what I wanted from the beginning? why does that number matter so much?
I'm losing it, my mum has always been chubby and never could lose weight, she doesn't wanna tell me how she did it but Ive seen the ozempic like stuff in the fridge so.....
I feel so bad cause her legs are starting to look thinner than mine and I can't let her be skinnier than me. I can't let her win like that.
