  • Yeah I am the same exact way and have also been feeling very weird & sick lately (it was so bad I thought I had an actual flu or virus) but it’s definitely because I am getting too hot. I lose my appetite. I can’t think as straight. I get irritated. I start feeling lethargic but restless, and I feel lightheaded and wobbly. I only began to feel hungry and felt normal again when it’s nighttime and cooler out. That’s what clued me in to the fact that the heat was causing those issues the whole time.

    This gets me worried/panicked especially with climate change making it even more unbearable. I don’t want to continue feeling miserable for half the year, every single year, for the remainder of my life…




  • Tbh I would feel way worse and demotivated (I’m not morbidly obese but js) but especially If they’re already struggling with mental issues then they’ll just feel worse about themselves if they’re being shamed on top of it all… They’ll feel even more anxious or depressed and want to eat to fill that void, so you’re really just feeding a feedback loop (depending on the person, of course) and making it worse for them. Unless I am misunderstanding that the usage of “shamed” here means constructive criticism/advice that you are genuinely giving to them. Even then, perhaps they might already know what they need to do, but they aren’t making progress and lack the motivation/executive function to do it.

    You don’t know what their circumstances are, just try to help them out best you can and don’t make them feel like shit.
