I was actually diagnosed with reflux when I was about 15(?)... somewhere around there, but I haven't really had heartburn in years, so I figured eating healthier foods fixed it... or at least, had it under control. I had a few different things done around that time to figure out why I couldn't eat much, and if I did, I got…

Thanks! I know that my grandmothers neighbor used to do yoga, and she continued to do it clear into her late 80s before she passed. She was more flexible than most children! lol

I've actually thought about doing yoga, yes... but there aren't any places where I live that teach it... so I'd have to figure out how to do it myself, and ultimately end up probably severely hurting myself, and getting stuck in some weird position. lol

It's nearly impossible for me to get more than that. I just automatically wake up, and can't get back to sleep. If I do manage to get more than that, I'm flat out exhausted all day. Most people require 8-9 hours/night... but not all. My family doctor told me that as long as I feel rested on 5-6 hours, I'm getting enough…

At one point in time, we had it figured out to be hypothyroidism... but I was allergic to the synthetic thyroid medication... and I couldn't afford the natural stuff, so my doctor had to take me off of it completely. After the weight started coming back, I was retested, and my thyroid levels came back as perfectly…

I have an appointment on the 4th, so I'll mention something about it to her then, and see what she thinks. One thing that I noticed, is that I was losing more weight when I was still drinking pop (soda). After I cut that out of my diet, I started plateauing, but everyone told me that that's not what caused it... so I don't…

Your stomach may be able to hold 2-4 litres of food at a time, but mine cannot. It has never been able to. Ever. Even as a kid, before weight was ever an issue. I never ate that much. I just couldn't. Not because I didn't want to, because trust me... I did, and I do. I love food. I really do, I just can't eat very much of…

1. Because I use a calorie calculator, then I record everything down in my calorie intake book. I prefer physical paper over electronic recordings. If anything were to ever happen, and I forget my password, or the website/app crashes... it's gone forever. Glitches can also occur. By recording it down on paper (and making a…

I feel like throwing up, because I'm full... too full. Not because of a mental issue, with being scared to gain weight. Every can of green beans has 3 servings in it... which means, it's "supposed to" be enough green beans for 3 people. That means I'm eating 3 peoples' worth of green beans, when I eat that can. That's A…

But I love my cardio. :( It's my "me" time. I just turn my iPod on, and go. There's no stress, and it's peaceful. I don't get much time during the day that I'm not completely stressed out, so I take it when I can get it. Well, that and mowing the lawn... but it's not summer yet, so that's out of the question right now. lol…

But that's the thing... I don't binge eat. Even during the weight gain, I never ate more than the 1200 I was restricted to. That's why I'm trying to figure out why I gained so much weight, in such a short period of time. It's almost as if my metabolism just completely quit. Like I wasn't burning anything at all.

That's just the thing... I have a very sensitive stomach, so I'm limited to what I'm even able to eat to begin with. Can't eat eggs, bacon, certain types of bread, cheese (especially powdered), beef, crackers, ice cream, pop corn, and a lot of other foods. I just end up in the bathroom for hours on end, after I eat it.

Dietitian. That's what I meant. Not nutritionist, but I couldn't think of if. My starting weight was 238 at 5'4. My lowest weight was 160. After gaining some weight back, my current weight is 201. Which gives me a BMI of 34.78, which is considered Obese. I'm definitely going to look into finding someone else, because it…

I'm able to function, because it's what I've been doing for years. I've never been able to eat much food, for as long as I can remember. Even as a kid, I never ate very much... I just ate the wrong kind of food, which is what eventually caused me to gain weight. After switching to healthier foods, I just find it extremely…

I've tried upping my calories, and it generally just makes me feel sick. :/ But I'll give it a go again. What do I have to lose?

I'm doing exactly as my nutritionist says. Stay under 1200 calories, and above 600. Do as much cardio as possible... which I enjoy doing. 10 miles/day, a dance video, and jump roping really isn't that much. Stay within certain food groups. If it's really as unhealthy as everyone says it is, then I'm probably going to have…

It's not that it's a closed diary, it's just that I have a book that I record everything in. I don't record it on here. I just mainly use this for the forums, and to keep track of the amount of weight that I've lost/gained. At one point in time, I was hypothyroid... but that someone fixed itself, without medication. But…

I average between 700-800 calories/day. I was told by my nutritionist to stay below 1200 calories, but above 650... so I'm exactly where I need to be. She was "very concerned" with my weight being where it was, at my age... so she told me to stay in that range, and do as much cardio as possible. Also, to stick with…
