Bloated
I just feel bloated. Not sure what my diet is doing to make me feel this way. It is not PMS or anything. Any tips on how to help this?

Has anyone heard of "shunting"?
A year ago I started running and if my HR was high, I would get these lower abdominal cramps. They felt like MS cramps but so bad I would literally collapse in pain crying. Then my HR would come down and they'd just go away like they never happened. It happens whenever I work on my speed and it's a pain in the *kitten*. I…

Overeaters Anonymous
Has anyone gone to a meeting? Apparently it's a 12-step program just like AA. I'm 165 pounds, but I think I need to go. 2.5 years ago I was 245 pounds because I was an emotional eater.

A year ago I started running and almost immediately I started having hip pain. I ignored it for a whole year. In February I ran my second 10k and I wanted to work up to a half marathon so I figured I'd have that pain looked at. It's chronic abductor tendonitis. I'm looking at 6+ months of therapy, during which I'm not…

Cheat day...now what?
It was the last day of my first year of grad school and there was a big party with cake and pizza and donuts and candy and everything. I was good. I brought a salad and half of a turkey sandwich, but eventually I was just too tempted. I didn't binge eat, but I ate the crappy food until I was full. Cue the guilt and feeling…
