Ah yes the BMI thing... it's totally inaccurate for my body. I have been 105lbs ever since I was 15 without any effort to lower my intake. I've always eaten what I've wanted and felt satiated. The past year while I've been studying I've been eating a lot of chocolate and junk food which has led to me putting on 10 pounds. I don't really agree that looking at some chart proves whether or not you're healthy. If you saw me you'd probably think I weighed 130 or something because I am kind of slight and I don't have much muscle to me. Also this acid reflux thing has been a non stop problem since I've had it, it just makes avoiding snacking more difficult for me. If I listened to my stomach and ate when I it told me I'm hungry I'd be very overweight by now :P |

I used to have it. When I say 'used to' I mean I was diagnosed at about 15 years old and took therapy (which didn't work for me) before overcoming it through exposing myself to social situations. I used to throw up before I went to work, I had all sorts of weird nervous ticks and I would always refuse to go to parties etc. which got in the way of me making any real friends. I'm 21 now and I'd say I'm pretty much 'normal' in that respect (although still a bit of a worrier!). When the time arised for me to start my degree away from home I had no choice but to start forcing myself into scary situations that everybody else just dealt with and it did way more for me than simply discussing it on a theoretical level. Everybody responds differently to therapy/drugs etc. but I can't stress the importance of tackling it at the root of the problem and learning to be comfortable around other people through exposure. Good luck! |

How often should you eat during the day?
It is neither necessary to eat every two hours nor to stop eating at 6:00 PM. As long as your calorie intake is less than your output... Read more
