Bleh.

I don't agree with, "Go to the police".

This has been happening to me all of my life.

I will be 18 Next Feb.

..and i've called the Poilice a numerous amount of times.

The only thing they do is blame me and scream at me, while my dad stands there and says, "I really love her and she just went crazy and I feel hurt..etc".

Ha-ha-ha.

Then again, it could be differen't in this hypothetical problem.

I just try to avoid him.

Well, the thing is, I also have School. I wake up very early , eat my oatmeal, go to school, eat a small salad and at the moment a luna bar because we have no food. Then, I get home and eat another snack. Then, I have about 1000 calories left of the day, and I already have to go to work RIGHT after I get off my classes.

Thank-you.

I don't think it will become a habit, I hope.

When I did it, nothing even came out.

I tried a lot too.

I never throw up, not even when I am sick.

It's like there is something wrong with my body, haha.

But, yeah, speaking of anxiety.

I had my first attack in a long time yesterday at work.

It was crazy! I forgot to take my medicine today.

Today is a new day!

I had/have this problems also.

It could be that your potassium levels are too high, that is what caused most of my palpitations.

Also, it could be panic/anxiety.

Do you eat a lot of bananas/sweet potato's etc?

"have you changed your exercise habits recently? because this is another major reason. I just started going to the gym about 2 months ago in addition to my regular training and b/c of the switch to the gym I have missed mine too, even though I eat plenty.?"

Yeah.

Though, it does not seem so drastic.

I went from 30 minutes four times a week to none at all.

When I was a kid I use to put cheese on canned corn and cook it in the microwave until it was all melty. Then I would sit behind the couch to hide it from my family because they thought it was weird and disgusting.

Also onetime when I was younger, I had a friend who came to my house and took slice kraft cheese and put mayo in it and ate it like that. It made me sick for a couple days.

Thank-you everyone for not answering my question and repeating what others have said! :]

 

I just figured that my brother and my mother were right considering they are in with that stuff and very smart about it.

 

I am still a kid, and I am not over weight. I was not pushing myself, I was walking quite fast!

But, I agree that around 3.5-4 sounds more realistic.

Actually, It was not that crowded at all.

 

Health & Support Anxiety/Panic Attacks/Depression Mar 02 2008
00:22 (UTC)

Yeah, i've recently been diagnosed with panic attacks and anxiety also.

They did blood work and found out that I was Anemic and my potassium levels were sky rocketing, which is pretty bad.

I'd recommend drinking lots of water and avoiding high potassium foods for awhile.

JUST to see how it goes.

I've been having heart palpitations, panic attacks etc.

They are not POSITIVE if this is linked to the attacks, yet, they are working on it.


They gave me sorbitol and other products of such to see if bringing down my potassium would help out.

 I am having the same problem.

My Doctor said, 'Have you been to any foreign countries lately?

He mentioned parasites, also.

 

Yet, recently I was told that I have Anemia and High potassium levels. This could be my problem. Possibly you could have an iron def?

I already went through the whole pregnancy thing. I went to Planned-Parenthood and I came out negative.

 

I'm really interested in what people have to say..

Ramen noodles are so good though!

When I was a little bit younger, iver summer, all I did was play computer games, and eat ramen. That's absolutly all I did. I lost twenty lbs.

Hahaha.

 

But, of course i'll never do that again! I was not even trying to lose weight.

Thank-you every one for your attempts to make me feel better.

 

I mean, they did, at some point.

Earlier today I had taken a at home pregnancy test.

It came out positive.

I am currently going to drop the, 'diet', and try to deal with my emotional problems, such as; how to tell my mother, which abortion method (I am sorry to those who do not beleive in this, I truely am), when to tell them, how to explain, how to deal with my boyfriend (Whom is strictly against abortion).

I am under A LOT of stress, being only 17, this will be a difficult time in my life.

Shizzy- Thank-you. That is very comforting information.

I've had binges for about two weeks now, yet, this was the worst.

Ah, well, i'll try for it tomorrow. I need to start exercising again! It has been a week! Ugh!

Oh my gosh. Your picture is very.. I don't understand. You have an amazing body, and supposly we weigh around the same, with the same height. Ofcourse everyone carries their weight differently. But, wow, it makes me feel good. Hahaha.

 

Srahz- Yeah, that's what i've been planning on doing, thank-you! You did help, and yeah, i've decided to move on, haha.

Bre- I'm hoping it's just water weight. Lately i've been drinking lots of tea and going to the bathroom every hour, haha. So, still, I hope you're right. I am trying not to dred it too much! I actually found out that I ate 1425 calories in cookies (But, still, other desserts), which did relieve me a little bit.

 

Thank-you all, you have helped me feel better.

Aspartame causes cancer in Rats, not humans.

I've never used it in my life until I read that, which was a couple days ago. I only put it in tea, which helps me with my water consumption, considering it's hard for me to get a lot of water plain.

Megan- Yeah, I know! I keep trying to tell myself no. Then, when it happens, I always tell myself, 'there is always tomrrow'.


I use to eat smart ones all the time, but it seems as if the calories have gone up. I noticed that some are about 200 calories a piece. They use to be around 150-180.

:/ Also, I am a health freak, usually. I tend to not eat highly chemical foods anymore. I use to love them, though! Ugh!

Ugh, I don't think i'll ever be able to lose these last (was 5, now about 7!) lbs!

I just ate a huge dinner and dessert (as I do EVERY night, and I tell myself NO! But, I still do!)

THEN, I made banana bread for my boyfriend. I ate A LOT of it. With honey! It was the high calorie type of banana bread. Considering every low calorie bread that I bake taste horrible! I feel so bad. On my one night that I don't work out, too.

I shoot for 1500 on no work out days, and I ate about 2300 today! Ha-ha-ha!

I do so well during the day, but, then at night, it's always the same. Pasta, veggies, protein and some sauce. THEN, the chocolatey goodness.

 

I am pathetic. :/

Well, it was hot. I had asked my significant other to run up there and get me a, 'TAZO tea with NOTHING added to it!"

I was very specific.

It turned out foamy with no tea bag, so I am assuming it was not the plain tea that I was hoping for?

The next day I had asked for their plain tea, and it was completely different.

"I thought the offending banana statement was intended to be an ironic play on words using the slang meaning of fatty.  But, there is serious peoples on calorie count and this are serious thread."

 

Oh my! Offending Banana statement? I believe that  people on here are a bit too sensitive! Actually, saying, 'Fatty banana', does not even seem as if I am calling the banana fattening. To make you, 'offended banana'rs', happy, I'll just say that I had eaten a WHOPPING banana.

For good riddens, I hope that no one thinks that I am relating bananas to Burger King's Whoppers!
