Speaking from my own person experiences with allergists... They're probably both wrong lol. I don't have "severe" allergies but I clearly develop an allergic reaction to something because my lips get swollen and itchy everytime I eat yogurt/cheese and other random foods. My allergist took $20 from me, did a patch test for…

It's hard to kick the habit for good. I still slip up from time to time but there was one point where I was doing it every day. Now I can go weeks without purging. I think the one hurdle that I had to pass before I could really kick the habit of binging/purging was just accepting that I needed to start eating enough to get…

Recently went vegan! So far I love it!!! I mostly did it for health reasons but the more i learn about the treatment of animals and the environmental factors etc. the more I realize I made the right choice.

Beer....always beer!!

Totally. But that's not the only reason I avoid relationships. Then again my body image and self worth has been pretty terrible from the start. With anxiety, depression, eating disorders, mental and physical discomforts and just my lack of desire to let anyone get to know me I've choosen to forgo relationships until…

Physically I'm 25 but spiritually I'm 60. I love soap operas, wine gives me a tummy ache and I curse at the people who throw the newspapers anywhere except the front porch....my spirit animal is my grandmother o_O Do I still qualify? Lol

Depending on how deep mentally into the disorder he is he might be in denial about the damage he's doing to himself. He might look frail but in his eyes he probably still sees himself as fat. So try not to comment on looks but instead say "oh I hear if you exercise too close to bedtime it keeps you awake, maybe that's why…

We don't have a lot of flavours here in Quebec. For a regular day Golden Oreos are my go to. During the holidays: GINGERBREAD! I am obsessed!

I see your lack of love for squirrels and raise you one "aww" invoking picture of two adorable squirrels.

I went vegan a few months ago for mainly health reasons. The lifestyle is still new to me so I like sharing the things I discover along the way with people who want to listen. But I don't shove it down anyone's throat. Obviously there are people who get too carried away and try to force the vegan lifestyle on people in all…

I made the switch to veganism a little while ago. I love it! I mostly did it for health reasons but the more research I do, the better I feel about my choice. :)

Any and all bears are welcome to my friends list ^_^ lol. Don't let my ticker fool you, I've been on here over 1000 days, just took breaks along the way. Mfp is similar to that of a forest, there's lots of danger and chances to step in a bear trap lurking behind every forum post. But the scenery is nice. Also happy really…

I make big batches of stuff like vegan chili, soups etc and then freeze then in serving size bags. Then I just take them out when I want one. Beans and tofu are cheap and easy to cook with. Tofu and tvp are good for things like spagetti sauces and chillies cause it gives meat eaters the meat texture. Frozen and canned…

Haha I said the same thing a few hours ago. I also love that the commercial says "sign up free today" and in small letters at the bottem.. "Purchase required" lol.

Generalized anxiety disorder Depression Eating disorders....all of them. And an addictive personality. And I'm sure it'll only get worse as I get older!

Ya when you've been restricting your body looks to replace it's energy source which is carbs. Once your body realizes you're not starving it anymore it will straighten out and you'll be able to balance your meals better.

Vegan Chili and homemade dinner rolls! Potato salad and hamburgers for the non vegans and meat eaters! And bite size cinnamon rolls for dessert. Also vegan. And I'm hoping the Broncos win!!

The body doesn't like to starve and 400 calories is starving it. So when you finally get hold of food your brain tells you to eat as much as you can cause it doesn't know when you'll get good again. It thinks you're in a zombie apocalypse and food is hard to come by basically! You need to cut out restriction and try eating…

From a "disordered" stand point no. Gum was specifically created to be chewed on. It freshens breath and it's a good alternative to eating too much candy etc. From a physical standpoint, too much gum chewing isn't good for your mouth and teeth. Food is not gum. Food is meant to be eaten that's what it exists for. To say…

It's a form of disordered eating called chewing and spitting. It can get a lot worse and it usually leads to one of the more commonly known eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia. Chewing and spitting along can cause mouth and teeth issues and it can also cause stomach ulcers and things like that because when you chew…

I have milk issues so I try to avoid any dairy or even milk products (so I buy vegan dairy products and avoid packaged products with milk etc.) I also have some digestion issues so I tend to only eat meat once a day. It's fine to go vegan and raw so long as you keep your macros in check. But I can't go raw cause of my…

Teen wolf! I've recently become addicted!

25 lol but sometimes I feel Older!

New friends are awesome!! So is peanut butter...o_O

If you like and can handle digesting tofu then make a vegetable stir fry. Or I cut mine in tiny pieces and put it in soup. So delicious has some great vegan yogurts fairly high in protein.

Read "brain over binge" by Kathryn Hansen. Might help you get a better understanding of how the brain works after a long period of severe restriction.

To ease your mind 1-you most probably did not eat that many calories. 2-seriously overeating can make anyone sick. You're not a bottomless pit so what doesn't fit will eventually come back up. 3-It'll probably take a day or two depending on your digestion. Go see your doctor and get your help. Being naturally thin is one…

Smile: guy I'm falling for! :) Frown: guy I'm falling for lives in another country! :(

Even if you're not bendy yoga helps make you more bendy. It also helps with balance, agility, posture and core strength. You can go as slow or as fast as you want and it's a great confidence builder. You can be any size to do yoga so I highly encourage you to go to a class! :)

I was the exact same way when I first got my period. It was awful. I once had my period for a whole month. Went to a gyno, got put on The pill (Yasmin) and haven't had an issue since (it's been about 9 years). But if u really don't want the pill then go back to your gyno and ask him what the best option would be. They know…
