I know exactly how you feel and exactly what you're going through, as far as the disordered eating is concerned. My goodness, all the setbacks I have had, all the times I've eaten food only to panic at feeling full, at gaining anything from those calories, sending me straight for a bathroom... It's pretty bad. It's pretty…

Ikr, lol. Some people :p But, to be fair, OP should have done that already on her own. Why come online to ask the aforementioned questions? Those questions are, for the most part, best directed at the doctor that prescribed the darn meds :p And even then, OP is free to seek a second opinion: with another doctor. On a side…

Thank you for the advice ^-^ I'll keep that in mind about the peppermint oil. At the moment, I'm trying a gluten free diet for the long run, hoping it'll clear up some problems, mainly the mysterious eczema-like rashes on my skin that haven't had any improvement since being prescribed steroid creams and cortizone creams by…

lolwut a suicide warning is there because the medicine carries the risk of making one develop suicidal thoughts or become severely depressed. an OD warning, however, is on...pretty much everything. ODing on Rx drugs can be fatal. That's a no brainer.

As a side comment: no one TRULY knows about the drama going on behind the scenes, pharmaceutically but, everyone is already aware that the CDC pays medical groups for mandating this or that concerning vaccinations. Why would they stop there?

Many drugs have different uses. The best thing to do is talk to your doctor about your concerns surrounding the medicine and request that she try a Rx sleep aide instead. But, as I said, many drugs are primarily used for one ailment but then have been found to remedy others as well. For example, I struggled with daily…

Well, you could opt for fruit or toast, etc. Basically, your first option would be to replace them with something else that is equally transportable and fulfilling. Protein bars, mayhaps. You can make them all natural, at home, etc, taking out the processed part of it. Or you might benefit from taking an antacid. But,…

AWESOME. I love posts like this, they motivate me so much. I love the befores and afters, the amount of change between them, the progress, and the smile on your face. Congratulations. =)

I shave calves and pits and my lady bits. But that's it. I have light brown hair on my forearms but it's not a bother for me so if someone else thinks it is, I couldn't care less.

"She'd be really pretty if she'd just lose some weight" To this day, I still can't see myself 'getting over' that comment. It was terrible.

I can't stand thick cut deli meats. Ham needs to be super thin sliced or else I can't eat it. The texture of the meat ripping apart...*shudders* And beef jerky. I swear I can taste the 'animal' in it, ya know? Can't stand it. Sort of has a 'bloody' taste to it.

Celery is just plain gross unless it's cooked: then I like it. Mushrooms are nast. Slippery, smooth and rubbery. I can't stand it at all. Makes me nauseous trying to eat one, lol. :p

Usually stress and the accompanying depression puts me off food entirely. I'm usually too absorbed in the negativity to bother with anything more. I'll eat but...not much... On the flipside, when I'm super, duper happy and I'm with family/friends/etc having a good time, I throw caution to the wind, eat what I like (not…

Oh gosh, I can relate. But mostly due to my having delved into the world of eating disorders. Not willingly, mind you. But after about a year of 'self recovery', I found MFP and thought, hey, great community, healthy people, healthy eating, I should try this and end my cycles once and for all. And now I'm a slave to the…

Oh gosh, clothes, shoes, new hair for sure! Maybe just do something outgoing and daring, something I wouldn't do now due to my weight. I have HUGE issues with self esteem, self confidence, paranoia, etc. I'm also a nitpicking worrier by nature. With the weight gone, I know I won't obsess AS much.

If it's too cold, a long shirt and socks or just shirt, pants, socks. If it's an ok temp, a night dress or long t shirt. If it's warm, tank top, undies. If it's sweltering, just undies. Nothing more.

My BP drops when I'm too hot. So, exercise, warm temps outside, too warm showers: all of them result in a BP drop on my end. It's terrible because it keeps me from being outside during the Summer. I really love the sun. *weeps* Also, it gives me terrible headaches and bodyaches. It also makes me feel nauseous, weak and…

Frozen Margarita Edited to add: I was assuming anyone living in the US would know what D-Day was. I learned about it in high school. *shrugs*

D-Day Invasion

I have sugar (well, chocolate) every single day. I exercise in order to make that happen. I've tried in the past to restrict chocolate or sweets in my diet and it just ends up causing a binge later on. I love chocolate, love the sweetness of it, love the taste and it's quite satisfying. As long as I watch my calories,…

Indeed it would! I did a 4 minute blogilates vid the other day where the trainer was wearing a leotard and high heels. All glammed up to workout. Sure her balance was a little tricky to maintain but it strengthened her core a bit and her calves as well. Definitely a change from the ol' shorts and tank top. :p

Once I've the body I desire, I'll flaunt it any chance I get. As far as I'm concerned, if people start talking to me because of a tight *kitten* or shapely shoulders, I'll ignore them. But I also look for highly intellectual, broody types of people as well so I feel I won't have much trouble weeding out the superficial…

Not sure of the 'last' book I've read but I'm really close to being done with Life Size by Jenefer Schute. (probably the fifth time I've read it) It's about a young woman's struggle with anorexia. I really love the intense amount of description the author uses. I also love the relationship that sort of forms between the…

I feel silly admitting it but I've got enough 'thin' clothes in my closet to dress me when the time comes for smaller clothing. I've a few night outfits, a cute pair of lounge leopard print pants, a sundress type thing, two sports bras and cute undies. Until those things start falling off of me (literally) I won't buy new…

THIS! Thank you. Agreed.

to go as far as to call it child abuse is ridiculous. That being said.... I don't encourage the parents that thrust junk food in their kids faces 24/7. But, take into consideration, that mother or father may not have exemplary eating habits, either. (Heck, we know they don't) But I wouldn't DARE to get into someone else's…

If you don't plan on giving it up, you CAN drink and lose weight. Just like with other so called 'evil' foods, (chocolate, pizza, etc) moderation is key. Calories add up fast with alcohol so you'll most likely have to factor in exercise to make sure you've the available calories. And as long as you're not binge drinking,…

You look amazing! And, might I add, extremely happy, as well. Congratulations!

I went to the doctors twice to be diagnosed. My mum has it and the symptoms showed up in me. One endoc said yes, one endoc said no. o_o I just assume I have it now. I don't really worry about it too much. All I need to focus on is increasing how much activity I do on a daily basis and watching how many refined versus…

Always after. Although, I mentally plan and count, then consume, then log. It seems to be working for me so far. If I try to plan and log before, I end up changing things. :/
