and food? food weighs a lot and that's why.

craziest fact I've ever heard! I believe this is what you have heard or think but it's ridiculous. Your body has an ENTIRE different way of converting food into fat. And it's the calories that you don't burn off but just like you can't lose 2 pounds of fat in a day - you can't gain fat that fast either.

this is because the food hasn't had a chance to "leave" the body and you have fluids in your stomach. The EATING did not cause you to gain weight.

haha I'm aware. The "public" are not with with a lot of understanding, unfortunately. People are so uneducated, usually. I can't fault them, though. Thank you! But EDIT: I meant to saw "now recovered"! UGH super small typo with a large meaning! wow!

I definitely know what you mean!! I've come to a good "medium" when it comes to laxatives because when I was trying to recover/when I was recovering I HAD to have them because my body was SO addicted to them. Eventually as I recovered, I haven't needed them. I still have some for emergences - I find I rarely ever need them…

EDIT EDIT EDIT!!! I meant "now" recovered!!!!

asparagus, canteloupe, and most fruits and veggies I don't like. I only like corn, cucumbers, and green beans. And smoothies. LOL. I'm weird. :p but thank you! I'm definitely going to try the lemon thing when I need to next! :) I'm still bloated but I'm not uncomfortable like I was earlier this morning. I took the diuretic…

Fruits and veggies? The only fruits and veggies I like are cucumbers, corn, and stringbeans. I do like pineapple and strawberry smoothies but that's it. So I'm "limited". I try to get in that, my daily vitamin, and what I can but I'm so super picky. One thing I would change if I could. It's the texture that I can't handle.…

I'm definitely going to try that when I need to next time! :) What do you mean by nuking? Heating in the microwave?

that's my fear! I'm hoping since it's a one time thing and as long as I hydrate, hydrate hydrate that that doesn't happen. I've been drinking water nonstop and peeing. haha. Thanks!

Thank you! :) Did you ever experience any re-bloating as a sign of your body freaking out? That's what I'm concerned about but I'm thinking since it's for GOOD purpose and I'm not trying to get rid of regular water weight; instead I was getting rid of a painful bloat that I should be fine.

Thanks everyone! I didn't really need the "talk" of whether it's unhealthy or not - just whether my body would react negatively afterwards. I understand that it isn't prescribed but a lot of things aren't - midol, ibuprofen, advil, and so on. I don't take medications unless I need them. I am aware that diuretics can really…

And listen to your BODY! It wants what it wants for a reason! If you're craving sweets constantly then it's probably because your mind has forbidden it. Intuitive eating, for me, has been my best bet for everything.

I lOVE sweets! I use to love them even more but now that I eat them whenever my body craves it my mind is more at ease where I don't need them constantly but I ALWAYS have something that is deemed "unhealthy" each and everyday. It's all about moderation. <3 :)

Go to the nutrition site. Just know that fast food isn't necessarily always bad for you - it's just typically higher in sodium than home cooked foods (I think). I'm 5'6'' and maintaining a weight of 125 and I eat out alllll the time with my boyfriend. Just go for a small burger without mayo and small fries if you're…

I've done the same thing hoping for the same results! :)

strawberry cake!! and a few girl scout cookies (i think). It's called birthday weekend! :) lol

it's NOT "bad". no food is "bad". It's all about moderation. Now getting large fries, big mac, and large regular soda or milkshake everyday? that can rack of some calories, fat, etc and be bad. but the smaller portions of things are NOT bad. It's ALL food.

ever seen a HAPPY anorexic person? didn't think so..

My boobs grew but my band size got smaller. Mine could be partially from birth control though. honestly, I think a lot of it has to do with genetics. As long as you're doing it the healthy way, it'll be what it'll be. I wouldn't worry about it too much. <3 unless your entire family is completely FLAT chested, you're not…

you also have to just listen to your body. if it's hungry and craving one thing in particular then feed it. If it's not then don't. Intuitive eating IS important. We've screwed up our body signals (a lot of people have anyway) by believing we can't have certain foods so it makes us crave it more mentally. If you feed your…

From someone with a previous eating disorder, logging up here isn't exhausting to me. It's easy and fast. It keeps me accountable for "moderation" without even really thinking about "is it in moderation" etc. It is what it is and I do what I do and can do. NOTHING is worth being obsessed over but if you can do it without…

I wish there was a notification button too like facebook.

Mariah Carey. As if. They put me in the yearbook as "look a like" in high school. When I had longer hair etc. I still get called that like at work and whatnot but I really don't see it.
