Short (5'0-5'3) girls -- where do you shop?
5'1 girl here. I have such a hard time shopping! Even S shirts can be too long, and petite pants have to be rolled up. I bought a pair of ankle jeans from a store and they were STILL too long for me. Where's a good place for a very petite individual to find fitting clothes?

So ... how can some people not want to eat a lot?
This isn't a sarcastic question or anything. I'm really curious about this. Since I was a kid, I loved food. I always looked forward to the weekly grocery shopping with my mom, since I got to pick out yummy things to buy. One time, I brought home a brownie from school and the dog ate it and I literally started to cry…

How to have treats without giving in to sugar addiction?
For a week or two, I'll not eat any cakes, ice cream, cookies, chocolates, etc., and I'll be fine. I'll have almonds or yogurts or bags of chips for dessert, and resist cravings pretty well. Then, I think I can give myself an indulgence, so I have a cookie -- which inevitably leads to a 2000+ calorie binge. I really,…

Failed skin pinch dehydration test--but I'm not dehydrated?
OK, so, during the past week(s), I've noticed my hands have gotten a lot of fine lines on the palms and fingersThe skin has also hardened and gotten drier, and sometimes my fingertips look pruney, even though they're not wet. I've been moisturizing, which has only helped a little. Then, today, I did the dehydration pinch…

Can too much fiber be bad?
I've been topping out at about 35-50 g of fiber the past week, well above the recommended 25 g for women. Also been guzzling sickening amounts of water. I feel like I have to 'go' a lot more, and am very bloated and gassy. Granted, my diet consisted of very little fiber/water before I made this diet change. Will my body…

So. An*l fissures. Anyone dealt with this? (TMI)
(You know, I spent at least five minutes trying to think of a title that was vague enough to be polite, but still explicit enough to alert the relevant parties. I couldn't. So I just decided to come straight out with it--sorry if this is TMI.) So, yeah. Anal fissures. Just got one. It's horribly, horribly painful. I came…

Please help me maintain without counting cals!
I'm desperate here. OK, so, I am the worst at intuitive eating. I'm extremely dependent on external cues (cnting calories, meal times) to know when/how much to eat. To give an example: one time, I accidentally logged extra calories that I didn't eat, so I thought I ate 1200 cals when I only ate 600 cals -- and I didn't…

Help a college student--no calorie info available at all?
Hi, I'm a college freshman. My school forces freshman to be on a meal plan -- basically, I get 5 meal blocks a day at any campus eating location. Since this is prepaid for, I only want to eat on campus; however, none of the campus dining locations give calorie info? I tried to estimate the calories the best I could, but it…

10 pounds loss can be significant on short girls...
I was feeling pretty discouraged today, since the pounds were going so slowly, and I decided to find some old pics and do a comparison. Sadly, though I started at 130, I didn't think to take an underwear pic until I already hit 118. I know this isn't a lot, compared to the amazing weight loss of some people on this…

Can net calories go under 1200?
My sister's about 4'10, and has a TDEE of 1400-1500 calories a day. She's eating 1200 calories, and exercising a lot, so that her net calories are under 1200 a day. She doesn't want to eat back exercise calories, because then her deficit would still be the same -- very small. We keep reading conflicting info about whether…

Do you eat less the next few days after a binge?
My parents held a party today, and I ate about 2300+ calories (I maintain at around 1500 kcals ... so it's a lot for me). That's almost two days worth of food. Anyway, I thought about eating very little tomorrow (kind of taking it as a 'fast' day) so that I meet my weekly goal. What do you guys think? Do you eat less after…
