I've got an ED, I'm honest about it. I don't comment too often about whatever I'm thinking anyway, but I'd like to have 'friends' who are going through the 'get-healthy-stay-healthy' journey (whatever the individual characteristics are) who don't look at my frustrations like their A-bombs and I'm somehow different in a way…

3months later..... by the time I'd actually realized I'd relapsed (and not just had a few close calls) my resolve to stop all this if I DID relapse was long gone. Pretty much any meal besides a small one (like a muffin) FEELS like a binge, and I purge and I say "Well you can't ever get it all up, so you're still eating..."…

I feel way more comfortable with a bigger woman assisting me with apparel. If I was really skinny I'd probably feel better with a very skinny woman. Someone more my size can not only help me more, but I don't have to entertain any ideas that they're actually thinking "What a **** pig." or "I bet she's anorexic". I never…

For your eating habits to qualify as a clinical disorder they must meet specific criteria. These criteria are mostly psychiatric in nature (See the DSM-IV-TR). Some people have eating habits that qualify as 'disordered eating' in that they eat more calories a day than makes sense according to our current measures of…

Conventional 1-size-fits-all (normal)- people measures will not apply to someone who is compromised like you. It is advised that you consult with a endocrinologist or medical nutritionist to determine your metabolic rates and loads. Cheers, -Mharren

She said the kid cries about it. If shes in emotional distress because of what her body is going through a counselor is a feasible support source for the child. Parents can be supportive and reassuring and provide security by they cannot be confidants. Especially when they are actively trying to 'fix' a perceived issue.

.... .... the presence and/or type of antigen on the cell surface of your erythrocytes is what determines your blood type (not the serum) and they have nothing to do with uptake. Cheers, - Mharren

As a Doctor: 1) Get her to a pediatrician to determine if this is normal and make sure her physical health checks out. Do what that Doctor says. 2) Get your daughter a counselor. Weight can be lost, emotional scars cant. 3) Be reassuring and supportive but back off. 4) Let physicians and therapists decide what to do. Even…

I've heard that a few times. Ok more than a few. Even when thin. My reply is "But If I were any thinner I wouldn't have as much of an *kitten* for you to kiss." Though I never invited the assessment.

Are we talkin about actual 'fat' here, or loose skin and shrunken adipose deposits? You don't ever actually 'burn' fat once its on you. But the cell itself shrinks. People that have manual removal of subcutaneous fat will not 'gain weight' in that area even when they do put on weight, because there are no adipose deposits…

You're MFP friend is probably going in the right sort of direction here. As a general (very general) rule of thumb anything less than 900cal/day for a person immobilized is STARVING. So yo can see how if your very active your calorie intake should be higher. Weight can also drop more slowly the lower you get. It may be…

Ok whoa, STAPH is common on the body and often starts in one place, like the thighs or the arm pits or the *kitten*, whatever is best for promoting uneven bacterial growth (its normal for bacteria to be on you, and for like 1 out of 3 ppl, certain strains of staph, I carry it and have these) and then it moves over the body…

Ate once a day, or maybe twice. If I ate more than once it was like 'apple' + entire box of KD. Lived mostly on starch.

1. WTF is that? 2. No I hope this isn't for real cause it's not very well constructed. lol. n=30 huh?

Supplementary Oxygen and a weight loss program that is focuses on calorie deficit is what seems in order. When patients are getting ready for heart surgery there are 'emergency weight loss diets' they can be put on that yield reliable results. Perhaps the transplant team can direct you to a physical therapist and a…

If I do eat breakfast, or at least the first meal of my shift, its usually yogurt. I like to grab a banana or a pear too, but sometimes I have some eggs and a few breakfast sausages, but usually....yogurt. It's like a staple food in my fridge.

I always found cardio the worst thing in the world, and I would totally quit before finishing or let up in intensity or just fudge it somehow. Then I had to run all the time in boot camp. I found the cadences we sang made me completely forget everything but continuing to run, and repeating after the Sergeant. Maybe try…

ah, photobucket is being uncooperative. German poetry on my Left inner forearm

I went on medroxyprogesterone (Depo) when it hit the market in Canada. I know a lot of people complain that it contributed to weight gain, and I did lose weight both times I went off it for a 'rest period'. I was taking it to induce amenhorrea because my dysmenhorrea was debilitating and my GP had been trying different…

- Other people making 'exhale' noises for emphasis. It's like their doing Ki-yah's or something and their only lifting 20lbs free weights. When some guy benching 180lbs males some noise, thats cool. - People I know from School or Work. This is my business, go away. - When running, losing my spot in the military cadence I…

I'm working towards being able to do pull-up again, and Aerial Cartwheels and hopefully, Back Handsprings! I also want to be able to run at least 2.5km in less than 10 min again. I still get the urge to just RUN, but I can't run too far anymore lol.

When I was with my mother, we almost never ate out. With my Father, we ate at Wendy's up to 3 times a week and often went out to dinner at restaurants at least once a week.

Height: 5'10 1/2" Age: 27 Gender: Female Highest Weight: 345lbs Current Weight: 295lbs Lowest Weight: 126lbs Goal Weight: 215lbs BMI Ideal: 165-170 I've always managed to carry weight well, even at my highest weight I still had a waist. I've moved back and forth between sedentary and extremely active lifestyles. I used to…

I presented with severe panic disorder at the age of 7. I simple do not make enough serotonin. It's not an imbalance...it's lack of a sufficient monoamine. They finally treated me at 13 with Paxil and then I was switched to Sertraline at 14 (25mg) and that was never an issue. But then I smoked some laced marijuana and…

That one should expect to get turned around now and again. It's not linear.

I posted what I thought would be helpful with as adequate an explanation as I thought I could provide. You disagree and are clearly quite critical of my contribution and I'm not sure if you are intending to be hostile. My attempts to provide grounds for the relatively behind the reasoning do not seem to have been…

Oh dear. I didn't mean to imply that the OP should use an IV line. My bad. These are some of the guidelines that we follow for patient nutrition. Satiety is gained quicker from ingesting simpler compounds because that are more readily absorbed upon entering the duodenum out of the stomach. The more simple a compound the…

I love seeing the people that Cosplay, I don't do it personally. But I love games. Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Parasite Eve, I was RAISED on this stuff baby. Oh. and World of Warcraft....heck yas

If your ankle was twisted, would you run on it? If you have pain, something is wrong. Usually it is a soft tissue injury or aggravation. Anti-inflammatory medications such as naproxen or ibuprofen can help with the discomfort as well as the healing process. However, it all depends on the injury sustained, which needs to be…
