I wanna know the answer too haha.

Thanks guys!
That bath definitely sounds good. Maybe I'll go for a walk, then take a longggg hot bath!

Update...

I was at my breakfast and I honestly don't think I've ever felt that out of place. Everyone was eating pancakes and sausage and bacon and eggs, etc. And I was eating a plate of fruit and drinking water. It was terrible. I definitely got some looks but whatever.

Then afterwards, before our graduation rehearsal my friend asked me to go to starbucks and so I figured, what the heck?? why not? So I did and got a soy green tea latte. And I just didn't care.

And theeen, after rehearsal, my friend and I went to this vegan cafe for lunch, I had tofu chili and hummus and veggies and I feel so great! Now I'm gonna go work out (not to get rid of the food, but because I want to) and I'm gonna run with my cousin later this afternoon!

So thank you Lindsey and everyone. I know this is gonna be a long battle, but we can and will get through it! :]

Ughhhh I know. I know I'm not "huge".. I just hate not fitting into my clothes. And I hate how tight everything is. I hate this whole thing.

I've done really well today as far as not eating too much or too little.

I ended up stuck going to lunch with my grandparents after church but luckily they found a vegetarian cafe so i felt kind of safe. I got a tabbolueh (sp?) salad and ate about half of it.. I would have eaten more if I hadn't filled up on 8 glasses of water!!! hah! But I feel pretty good today. I haven't had any urges to "binge" or restrict so I think I'm doin okayy!!! I just have to keep this up every day!

Haha, Lindsey you are A-mazing. haha.

I literally laughed out loud at your soynut butter sandwich comment. hah.
Ughh I don't know. The thing is this whole stomach problem has been going on for a week and a half now (with the exception of a couple days) and I don't want it to effect me. And I realllly want to feel better so I can run on Thursday when the doctor tells me my leg is healed ;] I'm drinking water like crazy. But I'm out of like everything except cereal, veggies and veggie burgers and soymilk. :/

I'll try to eat something before I go to bed but I just have like NO appetite and I don't really see the point if it's just gonna go right through me. :[

And another thing that really sucks is I haven't been able to excercise in like a week! I just feel SOO gross right now.

So the problem went away around Thursday.

And then came back Sunday morning...

Ughh. it really sucks.
And I've been trying really hard, but for the past couple days (until today) I wasn't doing so good number wise. Like I got around 1000-1200 ish Sunday and Monday.

Today the burn meter said I burned 1780... So I pushed really hard and got 2000.

The problem.. Most of it went right through me. Another problem? My head is pounding. Like, its one of those headaches you get when you haven't eaten. But I'm kinda afraid to eat anymore because I really don't need to gain anymore weight. But I don't want to lose either. Ugh, I don't know if this makes any sense. But I'm just really frustrated. And it's so late I don't think I could eat anything else anyway.

I guess my main question is.. What is this gonna do to my body??? I mean if I'm losing most of the food I eat is it gonna effect my metabolism or anything??

And what do I do about the headache???

I'm happy because I'm more blessed than I deserve.

I'm happy because I'm beautiful just the way I am.

I'm happy because life is just SO overwhelmingly amazing.

<3

I'm happy because my saviour Jesus Christ loves me more than I could ever imagine....
and as long as I know that, I'll be able to overcome anything.
Take thattt ED!!! ;]

Original Post by soccerj18:

thanks for the quick replies everyone! I guess I just got fast so quickly, I'm afraid of losing that speed and becoming slow like I was at the beginning of last year, and I haven't had a day where I haven't run since January...it feels weird, lol. Anyway, kelzo, I had stress fractures last year too. Aren't they the worst?

 Theyy are! And it's not even the pain that't bad. It's not being able to run!!! I still have three more weeks before I can run again, and they JUST let me start biking two days ago... That's how I felt about not having gone a day without running.. I hadn't gone more than two days without running in about a year and the first week was absolutely TERRIBLE! hahah. Well, I don't really know what you can do strength wise to help your shoulder, but to keep your endurance while not running, the recumbent bike is a great idea!

Okay so I totally know how you feel, not with the shoulder thing but I hurt my leg a couple months ago, (stress fracture caused from runnin with shin splints) ... My advice, take the couple days off. Your coach is RIGHT, if you're injured why run and hurt yourself more?? I'm a cross country/track runner too and one week before my first track meet I had shin splints and thought I should just keep running anyway so I didn't lose momentum, and guesss what happened?! STRESS FRACTURE; out for the whole season. I didnt even get to run in the first race. And since running is like 3/4 of my life, it crushed me. So take it from me, dont make your injury worse. If you're hurt, take a break and let it heal!! =)

Hope it gets better hun!

Lindsey, First of all, I LOVE YOU.

Okay. Now, I know exactly what you're going through. I know it's hard to stay positive, and that's what you have us for.. To vent those negative feelings and get them off your chest. You don't have to "act" positive all the time. It's okayyy! You're such an amazing person and I have so much faith in you! Over the past couple of months youve become like a sister to me and you've gotten me through SO much. You can get through this! We all can and we WILL!

You're BEAUTIFUL. Stay STRONG!
