I had this problem after getting a birth control device. I was just starving all the time! It was awful, and my doctor said the same thing "Just ignore it." I tried to tell her how terrible it was, that I literally couldn't sleep because my stomach was growling and it physically hurt, and she said, "Get used to being…

Oh, girl, I hear you. In some ways, the Implanon has been a total lifesaver. I have PCOS and endometriosis, and so I used to be in near constant pain. I would also have periods that would last 3-4 weeks, so I was weak and anemic as well as in pain. Since I got the Implanon last year, the pain has been so much better. I…

Hi! And congrats on going vegan! I totally reccommend the Vegan Slow Cooker cookbook by Kathy Hester. Yesterday, I made an AWESOME Hot and Sour Soup and Sweet and Sour Tofu. Even though everyone in my family likes meat (and lots of it!) they loved my vegan dinner, which was awesome. And if you're looking for some yummy…

I'm in! Just started a new exercise routine that is so fun, I'm having to force myself to not overdo it! And my finances are starting to work themselves out, so I should also be able to start eating healthier, as well. I think it'll be easier to lose weight if I have access to better food than Top Ramen.

I'm here! Been out for a while at the hospital, but I'm back now. How are you doing?

Okay, I'm sorry, some of the replies here are really pissing me off. I have been extremely heavy, and I'm still moderately heavy, and I have had to deal with a ton of crap from people in public. It is impossible to tell from looking at someone what their lifestyle is. Even when I was at my heaviest (300+ lbs) I still…

I totally understand! It's really hard to focus on getting healthy without obsessing about weight. I really struggle with this...I try to remember my goal (health, muscle/strength, eating ethically), and stop when I catch myself thinking about severe restriction, over exercising, being a size 2, etc. Things that worked for…

I identify as a lesbian (I'm romantically/emotionally attracted to women), but I'm asexual as well. I've never had sex and don't really have any desire to...never have. I suppose that if I ever fall in love with someone who is not asexual I would consider a sexual relationship for her happiness/satisfaction, but it's not…

@ NGMama: I love Veganomicon! Highly recommended My top three are..."Vegan with a Vengence" (best recipies), "Vegan Freak" (good general lifestyle advice, plus a fun read), and "Becoming Vegan" (indespensible health and nutrition advice; I go back to look stuff up a lot).
