| I do NOT believe that for one minute! I am surprised a doctor would say that. What are your stats? Height/weight? It could very possibly be that you are not taking in enough calories. | |||

| Since you have "control issues" why don't you take charge (control) of something else ... something that will be less likely to harm you?! :) |

| My gym's open! However, it would be closed by the time I got around to getting there. I'm just gonna walk on the treadmill at home and maybe walk the doggies! I'M definately a champion calorie burner! :) | |||

| You have to make other plans for yourself -- go to a movie or rent some or something. God, most of the people I know would LOVE if the kids (and families) went AWAY for Christmas and left them alone in peace. haha Gotta change your mindset. | |||

| I DON'T think you should tell the person. Everybody looks in the mirror and can see what's going on. Whether they are in denial or not is another story, but I don't think it ever helps to tell somebody they're getting fat. I'll bet money on the fact that the guy is worried about looks ONLY and not her health; otherwise, he simply would not care. When you're with someone that long, you can't care. | |||

| Pffft! Age ain't nothin' but a number. Thirty didn't bother me one bit! I don't understand why everybody gets a bug up their butt about it. Our lives are SO MUCH MORE than just the first 20 (or 29) years! I FEEL 18! That's all that matters! :) I wouldn't go back to the 20s for anything. Thirty-FIVE wasn't any big deal either. I'm 37, approaching 40! I WELCOME it! :) I love moving forward. I'm single, no kids. I don't think I have to hurry up for that either. Women have babies well into their 40s. And if I run into a problem, big deal, I adopt. Mind over matter! Don't fret over stuff you can't control! Embrace it! :) |

| Bob sounds like a potential stalker. You owe him NOTHING. No means NO. It sounds like you've clearly let him know you are NOT interested. Stay away from this guy and watch your back. Don't even talk to him. Any little thing you say he may magnifay. He sounds like he's off his rocker. | |||
| Health & Support | problems with candida? | Dec 08 2007 00:27 (UTC) |

| Are you talking just yeast infection or systemic infection? Try acidiphilus AND/or garlic in pill form. Works like a charm! Also, eat yogurt daily. I might also have some other advice depending on your problem. | |||
| Weight Loss | OH no!!! | Dec 06 2007 07:50 (UTC) |

| Get rid of it and get over feeling bad. Your parents don't have to know. But do tell them for future reference that you're "watching it." | |||
| Health & Support | AHH WHY is this happening!?! | Dec 01 2007 08:15 (UTC) |
14 |
| Oh don't sweat it! It happens to all of us. I've already hit my goal weight and I have a nice tummy ... yet sometimes I look six months pregnant with bloat! I know carbs/sugars do it to me ... I try to avoid them as much as possible (i.e., cereals, bread, pretzels, etc.). | |||

| DUMP him! Like everybody else said ... THREE times???!!! Doesn't matter if she "loves" him. He should never have done it in the first place. He made a CHOICE!!! | |||
| Foods | cutting carbs. | Nov 20 2007 19:53 (UTC) |

| Carbs are the DEVIL! They bloat me out and make me look six-months pregnant! I suggest you just cut out the "white products" white flour, white breads, white rice, white potatoes, and some cereals. Concentrate on WHOLE grains. Don't worry too much about fruits and vegetables, though myself I only sparingly eat corn and peas. I DEVOUR carrots and am not about to give them up anytime soon! | |||

| Not only are you bingeing which is bad for you, you are not getting ANY GOOD nutrition. Anyway, yeah, what she said above me ... Not eating breakfast and lunch are the root cause of this. | |||

| I just log stuff like that separately, i.e., log the bread, log the sauce, log the cheese ... and guess ... That's all you can do really. I also guess on the high end to be safe. | |||

| Oh yeah, I can see some of those. Not really Charlie though. And I'm not sure what the singer of Seether looks like. Me: Lisa Marie Pressley, Shannon Dougherty, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and a few more I can't think of at the moment! I really HATE it when I am compared to people though, and I try not to do it to others. Oh yeah, and Celine Deon -- hence, the reason I hate it! LOL! |

| Foods | "Lunch meat" = Cancer? | Nov 05 2007 17:47 (UTC) |
1 |
| Nitrates which are in all lunch meats are the problem. I'm sure they can cause cancer. I would just limit how much you eat. Right, EVERYTHING DOES cause cancer. That coupled with how well you take care of yourself and how strong your immune system is, not to mention genetics, will determine your outcome. Being fat causes cancer too. That doesn't seem to scare a lot of people ... | |||

| Ok, so there are eating disorders and there is diordered eating. Probably more people than not have diordered eating ... Maybe that's you (or not) ... | |||

| Motivation | How do you not eat comfort food? | Nov 02 2007 18:48 (UTC) |

| Because I'm NOT gonna let the "downside" of life and all that evil win! I'M in control of MY life not anybody or anything else! When I'm down and out I drag arse to the gym and push myself even harder -- gets those demons out! You can't sabotage yourself! It's not worth it! | |||
| Weight Loss | Why are thin peoples concerns either ignored or taken as insults? | Nov 01 2007 05:23 (UTC) |

| I HEAR you on this one LOUD AND CLEAR! I'm always mostly thin with just a few pounds to lose here and there (though now I'm AT my goal and doing and feeling GREAT). If I say I'm trying to "watch it" or decline food people look at me and go "Pffft! YOU don't HAVE to watch it!" Well, YES, I do. I am the way I am BECAUSE I "watch it." If I didn't I'd be HUGE. It's a constant struggle for me. But anyway, it is what it is and I don't think it'll ever change. Myself, I DO understand when my thin friends get depressed or upset about their weight. It doesn't matter if you are THIN, if you have gained a few pounds and your clothes do not fit, that's DISHEARTENING! So, I support you on this one! Although 23% body fat doesn't sound bad to me ... : ) |

| You ever think about going to a therapist and talking this over and possibly even getting on some antidepressants? (Could even try St. John's Wort). Binging and purging is an obsession that can sometimes be helped with medication. Now I'm not all about pushing meds but at least try counseling. I hate to see you suffer like this. The world could be your oyster! | |||
