Weight Loss	The "myth" that Asian girls are naturally slim	Jul 11 2007 09:54 (UTC)	84
I am 130-ish now, undertherainbow! I was having anorexia back when I was 14 years old.. and when I started college in California, people still say: No, u are not fat! And I gained weight because I ate more than just vegetables and fruit. I guess I am a living proof of starvation mode
Weight Loss	The "myth" that Asian girls are naturally slim	Jul 10 2007 19:48 (UTC)	102
LOL. I totally agree! My mum would call me from Indonesia and ask "Are u thin or fat?" We are chinese, and it's important to be a perfect daughter.. I gained so much after I came to the States, I guess it has something to do with less pressure that we have over here.. Over there, I was 96 lbs and they can still call me chubby. :( I even feel afraid to go home because people always say: OMG What happen with u????? What did u eat???? I can't recognize u anymoreee

Motivation	Poor eating day number 2	Feb 17 2007 11:17 (UTC)	4
hello petitiemiss, I definitely can relate to your case!! i always have problem with binging and it happens ALOT. but everytime i started to eat and eat I tried to think that hey.. why not eating it later? I NOW ITS HARD! but all i wanna say is that the 'junk food mode' lasts as long as you eat junks. When u limit yourself from all the cookies, sugars, even peanut butter (its my downfall so i dont keep any of it at hom) for two days, your body will not crave as much. And usually, if you succeed for one or two days, then you'll be more motivated to continue :) Good Luck!

Hey everyone!! :) I am a christian :) I have to admit that ever since i moved to the US and live alone it seemed that my religious life isn't improving or even getting worse.. But i tried so hard to keep up the prayer and its funny how everything feels better when we prayed..

Motivation	very frustrated in Starbucks	Feb 01 2007 21:33 (UTC)	34
Hi jen, i would say cut it off totally for a while... Its becoz our body needs time to get rid off craving (esp sugar). After days without pastries and u dont feel like u really want it anymore, then it means u've succeeded to pass the phase of sugar cravings! Another way that i did, I know it sounds a little mean, lol but i usually see people who get those cookies and think to myself.. they might regret getting those things, really.. and i'm glad i'm not getting it :P

Weight Loss	Am I suffering from eating disorder?	Jan 24 2007 23:00 (UTC)	10
Hello Jonah, I experienced anorexia years ago and i had all the symptoms that u mentioned. The good thing was, same with u, i became suspicious and looking for answer whether I suffered from eating disorder or not. I went to doctors and none of them really helped, may be becoz i was in indonesia and not lots of ppl know abt ED. the best thing is, to seek help from urself. Tell yourself that u wanna be beautiful, not anorexic. Not depressed n stress out all the time, or even get the risk for binging in the future, u wannabe healthy :)) Read books like chicken soup, take baby steps like start drinking ur fat free milk (i used to think even fat free make me fat), and talk to ppl who care. Do not listen to haters who try to opress u all the time!! :)) Good luck

Vegetarian	veggies~	Jan 19 2007 10:31 (UTC)	1
Hmmm, major cramping?? I am pretty sure most vegetables don't create major cramping, fat free, and low calories :). Except potato and corn, if u put it as vegetables (I would say its more carby, so yea.. I put it in categories with rice, bread, etc.). The lowest calories I guess is in celery.. other ones like broccoli, spinach, lettuce, and other leaf-form veggies are also low-cal and non fat. The ones that had higher cal are the beans and nuts, corns, peas, red beans, etc. They have good source of protein though :)
Vegetarian	Vegetarian Health	Jan 19 2007 10:26 (UTC)	7
Hey smiletack :)) i started vegetarianism since i was in jr highschool (now i'm in college n its been 7/8 years since then). When i first moved to the US a year ago, i was tempted to loosened my commitment and started eating seafoods, n chicken again :(( The result??? I gained weight, it made me crave more sugars, and i feel sad about myself all the time! I feel sick often and the worse is that I came back to the old binge behavior!! This year I've committed myself to become a total vegetarian again.. Not even calamari or sushi, for now :)) I've felt much better and had lost 5 lbs easily. The best part is that I didnt crave sugar and My body feels soo good :))
