feeling ill/fatigue
Should on still workout if they are feeling sick or fatigue? I have had this head cold for a week now. The gym feels like a stranger to me. The guilt is killing me. I know not to work out when you have a fever or the flu. But what about flush/head cold? Will it benefit me to workout? Or just harm it?

Too much left over cals
How, on days when you feel tired/weak or just sick, do you manage to hit you calorie goal? There have been a few days recently where I cannot hit it-I am really tired/sick. Any advice to get the cals in without feeling horrid? This does not apply for stomach flu or other sicknesses, but stuff like fatigue, lack of sleep,…

sleep deprived
Sorry I am so sleep deprived I hope this is the correct category. Now I am on sleeping meds, prescribed by a doctor. I have been on many different ones, since I was 18.(this one has the least fatal effects) I am 31 and now I am lucky to get 1 hour of undisturbed sleep. I suffer from over active bladder (o.a.b) been through…

weigh and measure everything?
Okay, this is hell. I get accused of being an anorexic for asking questions (rather not rehash) and this is what anorexic/bulimics/ednos do. I am recovered now for 5 years of my eating disorders yet suffer a less now from binge eating disorder (you eat even when not hungry and do not purge, hence wait gain). I know the…

I hate it. I have many afflictions and this one is so dumb/embarrassing. I was put on nexium to help my stomach lining for my acid reflux. But I have a hell of a time going poo.

Does it count as water intake?
Okay in your own eyes, when ppl add Mio flavours or (my fave) Kool-Aid ones to their water, all zero cal, fat etc, does it count as water intake or just a beverage? Same with Aquafina Plus 10 cals? Do they add towards ur water intake or do you believe they are somehow like a diet coke etc?

bruises like crazy
Okay My legs are horribly gross. Mainly cos they are as white as milk (spray tan if I really cared) and they are covered in bruises. They bruise too easily. I cannot count how many I have. I got many in my sleep, a bug flying into my leg, or tiny peebles from the wind (NOT JOKING!!) My dr says I have anemia, so that…

Every calorie literally counts right?
Okay so I am obsessed with calorie intake, always have always will. Even if I have 2 french fries or a few sips of a ginger ale I wanna add the calories. Do others do that? I always high ball them though. I understand this obsession started from my teen years and will never leave. But Like say I have 4 sips of a 130 cal…
