It depends. In my circles it means, well, context is important.
This morning’s pic:
The scale broke so idk weight, but based on the pic and my swollen fingers, probably unusually high
@Pinkylifting I woke up this morning really bloated and puffy (my gloves barely fit) but I haven’t changed carb, water or salt intake these past few days. Any idea what’s going on
Yes, bloated and puffy were my exact thoughts. Now go make yourself a sammich.

I genuinely disagree with you looking bloated here compared to your previous pictures.
I’m conflicted about bringing this up, but, the marks on your skin, are they cuts, scars, or something else? If they are wounds, they should have healed by now if you were taking in adequate calories. And, I know you’ve gained 0.5kg last month, but that can just be carrying slightly more mass inside of your digestive tract and not a guarantee that you’ve eaten enough.

I have wondered the exact same thing and for the exact same reason.

Those scars are from my surgery
I say I’m puffy because my fingers feel like sausages and I could barely put my gloves on. I also have sock marks around my ankles
If socks marks around the ankles is a sign of puffiness, then I am one perpetually puffy motherfucker.
Anna, you aren’t puffy. That’s your brain trying to make up reasons not to eat more. And Breaking News: putting any weight on makes your fingers bigger.

This is sending up a tiny red flag. Only because of your known kidney issues.
Had bad are the sock marks?
Or it could be PMS.
Not crazy but a bit uncomfortable, my fingers ballooned
Maybe- I’m on hrt but still get symptoms
I worked out more than usual, could stress be part of it?

Maybe but as much as you generally workout don’t think that would be a problem. When I do heavy DL, by evening my hands will get puffy but it goes away by morning, and never to the extent of it being difficult to get gloves on.
I guess I’ll just wait a few days and see what happens
If it’s not better by to tomorrow go see a doctor. I mean it!

I was actually joking, if I was right it’s only a coincidence. Here in some areas on the street people will come up to you and ask if you have any or want any “food”, but they are talking about crack.
Nah. Among some circles going out for coffee is synonymous with hooking up.

oh
So when we tell Anna she needs more food, more food, more food, I just need to make sure she understands we aren’t encouraging her to smoke crack.

You don’t have to worry about crack, I can barely handle a cup of regular coffee
