    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @subitoit That's a really great way of looking at the situation and I think it's definitely true!

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @dawn16 You clearly cannot relate to this issue. Why invade a space for petite women just to invalidate our feelings and talk about how things can be worse? This space is not for you. Tons of men complain about not being able to get their dicks up. I'm not gonna tell them this is a first world...

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @jchrist4sho This is a good idea and i have done this before. But my point is that particularly with very calorie dense foods like pizza or cake, I can easily overeat and not really feel it. Like I can put away a cheeseburger and fries from shake shack no problem and that's around 900 calories...

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @sweetkf But that's what I am referring to, the fact that we need smaller portions. I want to be able to have the experience of enjoying food as much as bigger people.

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @sweetkf What I mean is biologically humans have more of a tendency to put out on weight because our ancestors went through periods of feast and famine. We evolved to survive famines and bulk up during feasts. Most of us live in a "feast" and we need to fight biological urges to eat more. That...

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @sweetkf I am happy that you don't have this issue. This thread isn't for you then. Clearly many other people relate to what I am experiencing.

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @legolas2106 This. Especially because our bodies (all bodies, not just petite people) are primed to want us to eat more and more, not to eat less. We have to fight against what our bodies want us to do always.

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @creator123 Seriously. I feel like my stomach is as big as a tall person's stomach.

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @caguas15 It is so unfair and I feel like other people don't understand my frustration. They tell me that short people get full faster and look at me with confusion when I vent about how little I get to eat. That is only true to a certain extent. With calorie dense foods that taste deliocus, I...

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @mj_1969 Yes! I feel like I can eat like 1000 calories worth of dessert in one sitting and still want more. That amount for us makes a huge impact but for a bigger person, it can just be worked in to their diet.

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @dawn16 I can 100 percent relate to dating men and the frustration with that. I was dating a guy who was complaining about how much food he needed to eat (he was trying to gain muscle). I literally wanted to punch him in the face. I get that is a struggle for some people but I always had the...

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    @legolas2106 Yes exactly! And there is this mental desire to what to eat all the food that is on your plate in front of you, especially if it is tasty. But if we do this, we will gain weight while a taller person or a man may not.

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    Has anyone felt frustrated by the fact that you are in a petite body and therefore don't get to eat as much as other people do? I love food and maybe this sounds dramatic but I feel this sense like I am slightly robbed of the experience of being able to enjoy food as much as non petite people...
