Then the OP is contradicting his own post. If ALL MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS (that's a quote) say that you have to eat above 1200 calories, how can a doctor supervised diet below 1200 calories exist? Unless the doctor isn't a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL?

Why is it everyone seems to feel the need to tell everyone else how it IS. So much BS. They generally include things like "ALL MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS", and of course how it's going to destroy your body, hair loss, gallstones, etc, etc, etc. Oh and of course they are doomed to failure. So here is my story. I am 6'4". At my…

I put about 4 drops of EZ Sweetz (liquid Splenda) in a cup of coffee. 5 cups to the pot, 2 pots a day, generally. Regular in the morning, decaf at night. At that rate, with all that bad caffeine and stuff also, I should be dead by now. As you can see, I'm not. And as you can see, I lost a few pounds. I suspect the 340+…

This. But I would put it a little differently. No one can "make" you feel something. You take their comments and choose to feel a certain way. Now, having said that, I'm certainly not saying it's easy to choose how you feel, but you can. I was raised in a very critical environment. My father, step-mother and grandmother…

I have no gym here, but I would rather exercise outside. When it's cold is when I want to move inside and wish I had a gym. I have an exercise bicycle but I'd still rather be outside.

And there is the problem right there. I was a kid. I would never had thrown a tantrum like that in a store, because Dad or Mom would have spanked me. Or Grandma, or the teacher, or someone. It's called discipline. You don't need to beat them until they bleed. That's abuse. But a simple spanking isn't. Once a kid learns…

It is not just shamefully lacking. In some cases it is non-existent. So how do you get the child out of the home? They can't be forcefully hospitalized unless they are a minor, or commit a crime. You can't afford the hospital unless you have really, really good insurance and then maybe still not. Or they commit a crime and…

The basic problem here is that a great many people have lost the ability to actually think for themselves. And, schools are monitoring things like this because a great many parents are not. If it were me, I'd send a letter back to the school telling them to mind their own business. I might also make a personal visit to the…

I have dealt with Depression and various Anxiety disorders my entire life. My experience is that when I am depressed, I am far more likely to just say "what the hell does it matter" and eat whatever I like. And gain weight. Depression also tends to kill motivation to do anything, much less exercise. So, effective treatment…
