Tell me where mental health support is better? I believe it is shit everywhere. |
Sounds like you need to return to whichever skinny country you came from. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out…. |
PS, I say that as someone who has lived in Europe, has a low bmi, and wants more immigration not less. |
Here you go. Working and commuting less, having more leisure time, and some sort of paid mental health services would do wonders for American women. When I look at all my friends from home, all and I mean ALL went back to their pre-pregnancy weight shortly after delivery. It's not the metabolism. It was the paid 2 years maternity leave and lots of help from families. Our mothers retired financially secure in their late 50s, and had the time to help. My SIL has a free gym and restaurant at her work and takes a 2 hour break to work out and have lunch. And she has the entire month of August off. https://www.william-russell.com/blog/countries-best-mental-healthcare/#:~:text=Sweden%20scores%20consistently%20high%20in,spending%20on%20mental%20health%20services. |
Many European nations have put on considerable weight. This wasn't the case a decade ago. But when I visit family, it is me, the American, who is slimmest. Despite their delusion that European food is healthier, there's just no way to look at their schnitzels, their super fries, their Croque Madams, their pizza and pasta, and come away thinking that their food has better nutritional value. They make soup out of wine FFS. |
I was at an international resort recently. I'm an American. I was the fittest one there. Eye opening. |
I’m 100% behind paid caretaker leave, but it’s not the same as mental healthcare. I’m also 100% behind national health insurance. And many of us have gyms at work (including all three places I’ve worked at). But none of this is the same as mental healthcare that would address emotional eating. You still haven’t answered the question. Plus I think a number of US workplaces like mine offer weight watchers, so there’s that. |
+. My grandmother came over from Scotland. Almost all my relatives who are still there and in England are all bigger than me and a Canadian woman who married in. |
wait what's wrong with making soup out of wine? |
Nothing, it's delicious. I order champagne soup straight away when I see it on a menu. But be real. It's not nutritious. |
This. Anyone who regularly goes to Europe knows the secrets. Like that they are often overweight, often have lower living standards, and that they are deeply insecure about being overshadowed by America all the time. |
I'm really skeptical about the "deeply insecure" part, but one "secret" is that they used smoking to keep down their weight for decades after Americans were giving it up. Not exactly a healthy solution. |
Lily Collin was not always this thin. She has lost a significant amount of weight since her youth. |
More women die from eating disorders than any other mental illness. |
This is in Sweden? Sweden is very expensive and salaries are lower. Scandinavians have very high amounts of mortgage debt. No thanks. |
