wraps?

or make some good chili/soup and bring some to work in a microwavable container.

:]

your body is telling you its dealing with malnutrition, whether or not you think you have an ED.

read up on the dangers of it. It's no good.

try doing something different!

you should have built muscle enough to try some more advanced things, and if you havent, try doing handstand pushups! move on to walking on your arms! that would be an extremely awesome way to show your strength!

I felt happy that i got to eat junk yesterday,

and moved on with today.

xD

even had some more candy today... cause last night i couldn't binge cause i had a regatta today.

housewife :]

i have the perfect retro housewife dress, which i got for free from one of my friends. xD

you know what i would do?

i'd get hooked on things that are available both HIGH and low calorie (breads, jello, cream cheese, soups, juice).  That way, once you reach your goal weight, you can still eat the things you've come to love, and eat the same amount.  It slightly kills two birds with one. 

That's what i'd do.

My logic may be flawed tho, if so, please correct me!

drinking alcohol is just another thing our society doesnt do in moderation.

Too much alcohol is just another way to go to an extreme, just as too much food, too much nicotine, too much anything.

Binging on alcohol in groups appeals to those under the legal age, as it also gives them a way to rebel against authority.

So, the laws could be considered a partial problem since it gives teens a way to rebel.  If the government banned high sugar foods, watch our teens get a sugar high in order to rebel.

Behavior is also a problem. In families where the relationships between immediate authority and teen are weak or dysfunctional, the teen will most likely be more prone to rebel.  Speaking from experience, my family and I have a healthy relationship most of the time, which means i see no point in breaking their trust and binging on alcohol (not to mention how it effects the development of the frontal lobe and reasoning skills...). 
When my parents got over-concerned over my eating habits tho, I subconsciously rebelled by eating more than necessary. This was obviously unhealthy as well.  It takes time and practicing moderation to learn self control.

i row in rain and sometimes hail through crew workouts.

I dont know how cold it is, but if you deck out in warm spandex, it'll get soaked, but the water around you will retain some body heat, and since your running you hopefully won't freeze.

Also, wool. Wool is warm even when its wet. Maybe a nice woolen sweater?

try stretching and try exercising your shoulder by using the same motion you would to lift weights (without weights though). try to get it to a good mobility before adding weights.

anyway, thats only my opinion, i'm not a specialist, but i'm figuring the quickest way to recover is that way.

Simply put, I believe there MUST be a reason to being here, cause if there wasn't one, why would it be w/in human nature to search for one?

I find that the Bible explains why we're here, and it's ideas make sense to me.
My main answer + humble opinion: Many people (not saying the majority of the world or anything), including I, believe we're here to praise/exalt God (with our actions, thoughts, deeds, and taking care of our bodies).

Answer to other questions;

I believe once your body is dead, that's it, but the soul is eternal.
I also believe that sitting around drinking beers and chatting for eternity seems like it could get old after a while. I think it (afterlife for those who accept Christ's death+resurrection in order to make peace with God) is more than 100 times better than the avg person could imagine it.
And i don't really have an opinion on animals, even though i love my dog.

And although i just did some preaching there, i COMPLETELY understand people being bugged by it (and the mormon website post, and the ranting man). The question was asked, and i answered it with my opinion.

i just googled pre and post workout nutrition. :]

well... my comments on it are that i've tried to keep to the post workout advice, and figured out powerbar protein plus bars have about the right percentage and amt of calories and having one after a workout def. helps me not overeat. :]

Original Post by fidget84:

if you feel 5lbs you are suffering some sort of dysmorphic body image issue. you would see 5lbs on a new baby....thats about it.

if ppl   (plural) were telling you you looked too thin. chances are, you were.

i respectfully disagree.

My mom noticed after I lost 5 lbs. She didn't know I was dieting.

eat however much you need of the dinner, throw the rest in Tupperware, and eat it the next day for lunch. that way you stretch the meal and your mom doesnt have to worry about the food going to waste. And you wont have to over eat that night cause you know you get to have the same tastiness the next day!

thats what i do during the school year. :]

17, 5'5", 147 lbs (as of the last 2 weeks) (i realize my bmi is on the high side of average...)

Maintenance is 1800, i dont do much, though i'll take a 20 min walk to my friend's house, or bike to another's in abt 10. Pretty light activity, if not sedentary.

I row during the school season, so i developed some muscle then, which is kinda just sitting on me til i start rowing again this fall. Its probably burning a bit more than if i was ALWAYS sedentary. Rowing is a pretty difficult endurance sport.

often enough :]

i actually like ice cream sandwiches, since they're portioned out for you.

i really like the skinny cow mint ice cream sandwhich (140 cal)

as well as Kondike 100 cal ice cream sandwiches

and lite fudgesicles (40-50 cal, depending on if generic or not) (100 cal if you want un-diet ones and wanna avoid evil sweeteners and just enjoy your portioned sugar)
