Just a silly silly bean. in a silly silly world. meep. :P

Might become a listener in the future once all my problems are solved, not only from the help of 7cups, but with actually physically doing something about it, and therapy. I absolutely love 7cups though for such a special community i'm apart of and I can actually see myself getting better the more I vent and reply to others, telling them everything is going to be okay, because I knew even in my deepest darkest moment, even then I knew I was going to be okay, before I discovered 7cups. so, even if your going through the worst times of your life, I believe you can get better, you might not believe it right now but i will if you won't. Love yourself <3

gymnastics, weight, and height do not go together for me
Self-Esteem / by Nate715
Last post
 Thursday
...See more Hey everyone! Back then, In 6th grade i was already insecure enough until my mom put me in gymnastics. i admit, gymnastics was fun, its just terrible with the group of people i got into. I was put into the 8/9-12 group i assume? level one. i didn´t have a gymnastics leotard. which was fine because leotards are optional.  at 11 years old, i was quite tall child. my sister too. i was 5´7 and my sister was 4´10-4´11 possibly.. these girls within our age group were small and thin, all of them were possibly shorter then 4´8 and weighed less then 7 stones, considering most of them were younger then me, i didn´t mind it at all.  Until around 2-3 weeks later. I started getting insecure and self conscious as i realized the ´pro´ gymnastics athletes were my height and shorter. i probably looked pathetic, i was even taller then the gymnastics teacher. eventually, i hated gymnastics because i couldn´t do most things the shorter girls within my age group were doing.  i remember times i cried and i felt deep embarassment for not doing my hardest within those classes. i was scared of heights. typically we went on high beams without anything to catch us under and i had trouble not looking down, sometimes there was a thick mat to catch us, made me feel less nervous. we had ropes, i thought i could climb up the rope and back down, i didn´t even move up that thing, that felt embarrassing. but the worst time was when i thought i could do something like a backflip, i was confident that day, i volunteered to go first with the new gymnastics teacher we had (after our old classes were done my mom signed me up again) and i was halfway there when i fell on the teachers hands and i felt so much embarrassment.  years later, it still haunts me. i never want to return back there ever again. so far, no returns. i´m comfortable doing my own thing, and i´d much rather take classes for fun crafts 😊 (i did it once a fe years ago, super fun!)

Nervous About Dad's surgery next month, and i'm nervous i'll end up being like him.
Grief & Loss / by Nate715

...See more I really thought i wouldn't end up here, especially after my last post being all happy and fun. but i don't know where to put this story. i'm not close with my dad to the point where i could tell him personal things that him in my life to him, but i resemble him a lot. especially because i'm overweight like him (working so hard to lose weight) and i just got told he's having surgery next month, because, well, he's overweight and he had tumors that could grow back. (not specifying where) he's been struggling to walk and he sits for most of the day, and when he does walk he uses a walker to get around everywhere just at home. he hasn't been out in a while and when he is he's often at the hospital for check-ups.  he's continuously eating as before, but more veggies and no red meat, as what the doctors said. for me, its carbs i have to cut but i can't seem to do it, so i've been walking a lot more and trying to go out as much as possible and drinking more water.  I'm trying to look at the positives here, he did say earlier to his sister, my aunt, that he does want to get better and he's truly trying and i believe in him and i believe that surgery could go well.  but none of my family members ever had surgery, at least no surgery for a few decades. i've only known that my mom had surgery to remove her gull bladder, maybe her gull bladder stones? i'm not too sure. and i've got a huge phobia of surgery and i'm terrified it doesn't go well.  I don't want him to die and i want to be healthy, i want him to see me graduate. but it sucks being in a family where health issues are just passed down.

...See more Happy Holidays and Merry Cupmas! 🎄🎁🎅 This is my first Cupmas and i'm so glad to be spending it with all of you in this wonderful positive community filled with people who are just like me and go through similar things. My Christmas wish For everyone is that all their problems are solved - including mine, and to find inner peace for 2025, knowing i struggled with a ton for 2024 but not as bad as mid 2022 to early 2023 - which i'm so close to finishing that road to recovery. it felt like just yesterday i joined 7cups and now its been almost 2 months and within those months i've met so many nice people such as @heather225 during the christmas discussion groupchat and @cheerymango, seeing her posts put me in a good festive mood and some local members i've met in the teen groupchat and support room were awesome pals and relatable when it came to chatting with all of them!  4 days until cupmas day!!11!!11!

Food choices, dieting, and any motivation to continue dieting?
Healthy Living / by Nate715
Last post
 November 27th, 2024
...See more hi everyone! whether you may or may not know me, i'm nate.  by the time im posting this, its close to midnight, but just know i had a doctors appointment today, not the time im done finishing this which is 11/26. As you can tell, i had a doctors appointment today, and it wasn't a very good one.  i'm in my teens, or i'm 13, and obese. not physically obese too much, just extra meat on the bones here and there, some being more then other places. I'm an extremely tall teen, 5'9 1/2 and so are my siblings, but they aren't as tall as me when i was their ages. so, i guess my height also helps with my body.  and, i'm not gonna hide anything, i'm just going to say it straight up, i'm 2-4-2 lbs or 1-0-9.8 kg. every year i'd gain about 3-0 lbs but from ages 12-13 i really tried to cut down as much as possible, and i ended up gaining only 1-1 lbs i'm at risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and a stroke. along with that, my father is also obese and he recently ended up at the hospital for a blood clot. my mom's side of the family has a history with diabetes, which i assume its a higher risk to diabetes now that its passed down? if i'm correct? i have stretchmarks which cover 65-70% of my body and i learned to be confident in it :-) My doctor put me on a low/no carb diet, which is where the food choices and the dieting comes from, and it hurts, but after a couple hours, i think i might get used to it, restricting and stuff. so i ask, any motivation to continue dieting and what i should do and what not? my goal is to lose 9-2 lbs and i'm going as low as i can with the carbs, 10 and lower with breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods, and 20 carbs or less with snacks for now until i see a change in weight. really unfortunate since thanksgiving is right around the corner :( any recipes, motivation, and how many hours i should be walking a day? one way i'm motivating myself is knowing i'll lose weight and knowing theres tons of people who are doing a low carb diet too and its not just "fat" people, it can be anyone. plus, i get to go shopping to find and make tasty low carb meals for the next 3-4 months, which is what my doctor put me on and hopefully i'll lose 12-24 pounds :-) to any teen or adult who goes through the same thing, obesity, or health problems, just know your not alone and we can start our weight loss/getting back to good health journey together! i'll keep everyone updated once i go to the doctors again today (its 12am as i write this) to get a blood test, and hopefully theres nothing wrong. love yourself, and theres always a hope to change for the better of your future <3

...See more Has anyone else just feeling empty lately? sort of this numb, empty feeling like your just existing? that's what I feel like right now and a little heartbroken, honestly.  I assume the empty feeling just comes from routine and being at school, because its the only place I get this feeling, nowhere else. and there are many times at school I've just accepted everything that happens. the only thing i'm looking forward to on Thanksgiving break is actual thanksgiving, not sure if its because i've been waiting such a long time I can't take it anymore, or maybe because my Thanksgiving break starts so late? (11/22 - ???)  let me know when your Thanksgiving break starts, I feel like my break starts way too late. winter break last year for me started 12/22. anyways, back to the feeling, anyone feeling that lately?

I don't know where to put this vent - Diaries. and how i'll never have one ever again. (by nate, 13, all pronouns, if i didn't introduce myself)

...See more I don't know why, i don't know how.  A few years ago i was told by my mother that she would never check a single notebook or diary i had to keep my privacy to myself. but as i rebelled and got older, it seemed like she completely forgot about that. the first diary/notebook/journal she went through was a book she got me herself when i was around 10 or 11, i ended up drawing tons of OCs and writing tons of problems i was going through in it, and that included tons of cussing - my mom doesn't allow extreme cuss words such as the b word, f word, or others. i eventually finished using that journal and hid it in my drawer and eventually forgot about it. a few months go by and i rediscover it and look through it and i find some unexpected embarrassing notes from my mom, i was *** off. how could she do this to me? i thought she didn't care about this stuff! recently, a few hours ago, she and my uncle and my younger sisters went out to shop and get food, and i went through into her room to find some things, and i ended up finding them along with 2 old diaries of mine, which i haven't used in years - one of the diaries contained an old nsfw art from when i was 11, really scared she saw it. the third diary, is one from recently. i'd say, one from when i was 12 years old up until now i've been using it but i haven't used it in months, knowing she'd kept it from me makes me cringe just thinking about the potiental notes she's written in there. i wanna burn it but all the time i've placed into the diaries make me not want to. what do i do in this situation and should i open up the diaries to check? (and no, i don't wanna talk to my mom about it.)
