Really? Like, you were hungry but didn't want to eat any food and this medicine helped food seem good to you?
-
I definitely get hungry! I'm pretty much always hungry now, that's what makes this even more frustrating.
-
Oh that's like two years old, I'm okay with it now. In fact I'm kind of having the opposite problem... I used to be obsessed with food, now I can't stand it. I am seeing a psychologist though! She's not sure what the issue is either :(
-
I'm not pregnant, I've been feeling like this since July and I've gotten my period regularly :/ Thank you for the response though!
-
I dont think I'm underweight, but I'm trying to gain mass and build muscle. I can eat crunchy things like apples and celery but those are all relatively low calorie :( Anxiety makes it hard to sleep or eat, when I'm tired it's hard to eat, when I'm hungry it's hard to sleep, and all of these things put together compound…
-
I do have a plant base protein power, but what about the whole "essential amino acids" thing?
-
Please send me some recipes!! Or maybe some subreddits that are good resources. Thank you :)
-
You're right, I just wanted to souns like I did some reasearch when I go to the doctor.
-
Hey! It's in a different location than my ovary
-
Wow, that sounds like me. Thank you, this was helpful!
-
I'm kind of a hypochondriac, that's why she didn't respond that way.
-
I'd appreciate that!
-
Well of course, I just wanted to see if anyone had a similar experience or any idea as to what it could be.
-
I don't have a desk job or sit very much, I think the inactive glute thing is very possible though. And I'd been lifting weights for a while, squatting and deadlifting- but you're right, I think it is simply too much!
-
In terms of squats/deadlifts, I do deadlifts Monday (3×6), Wednesday (5×5) and Saturday (4×8). Monday 60% of 1 rep max, Wednesday 80% and Saturday 65%. I have been trying to increase the weight by 5 lbs each week. As for squats, Monday 5×5 (80%), Wednesday (60%) 3×6, and Friday 4×8 (65%). I can try to get a video of myself…

Thank you, that makes me feel better! I just startee getting periods again after having amenorrhea due to stress for a while... and having my measurememts change and gaining a lb or two during menstruation is tripping me up.
-
I ride my bike three days a week for at least an hour and a half and the other three days I go to the gym and lift weights- like squat rack and deadlifts and stuff. I also don't have a desk job.
-
Really? You experienced cravings for the first few days as well?
-
Of course, but I was speaking in terms of refined sugars. I would still eat fruits. But you're not far off, it turns out I really only wanted carbs.
-
I'm kicking myself, I feel stupid. I should have gone for the crackers and hummus first. I lost fove pounds in one week, of course I was going to crave sugar. Ugh. I'm so scared of being anorexic again.
-
Wow, I really wanted carbs. Hahaha
-
You're right.
-
I think I really just wanted carbs. I ate a bunch of popcorn and found that equally as satisfying as the candy tbh.
-
I only count added sugars, as well. Thank you Janet. Now that I think about it, I missed a period this month and noticed I was really down in weight last week- I've been stressing over job prospects instead of eating- so that could account for my cravings too. I'll head to the store and buy some dried fruit mixes, maybe…
-
Hey! Yeah, I'm no longer trying to lose weight, this was a totally innocent attempt to live a healthier lifestyle. I've been eating enough healthy calories but still eating sugar, and just thought I'd try out not eating refined sugar for size. I just ate a bunch of candy because I was craving it and wasn't sure what else…
-
Thanks, guys! I'll take all of this into consideration.
-
This is very helpful. Thank you!
-
Yeah, that's me. Okay. I still enjoy leg day at the gym, and I think I'll cycle for a month or so and then have a real "leg day" and see how my progress has compared.
-
I was really good about it up until now, though! I seriously didn't worry about food at all, and that's huge for me. i felt good physically and emotionally. But now I don't. I mean, I'm not super over full or anything, but I can tell that my blood sugar is going crazy, haha, and I just feel badly emotionally for having…

Please forgive me for oversharing here, but I used to have an eating disorder so I'm still becoming used to not overeating or undereating. I didn't weigh myself but for one day this week and I did really well! Ate pretty healthily, and I didn't hate myself when I had some cookies. I maintained my weight, and I don't crave…
