HELP!!!
hey. so i went 9 days on just water. i did really good, no slips...and i had a lot of energy. then...the 10th day was a blow to the head. i freaked out over a salad i had, and from then on, the whole day was eat...purge...eat...purge. i threw up so much. i felt so stupid. now, i'm trying to get back to thinking clearly and not eating. and if i do i have to keep my limit under 200.
quick question...have any of you fallen down to your goal weight, kept it for a while, then your weight sprung back up, leaving you in the endless battle to get it back down to where you liked it? ok, so in '05 i was able to get down to my goal weight of 92, then dropped 3 more pounds. i was able to maintain it for one year, then it inched back up to 105/110 range over the last 3 years. i usually maintain around 105, which isn't bad, but i am trying desperately in every regard to get atleast down to 95 so i can feel good about myself and stay sane. but i am stumped as to what or how to do it. i'm a vegetarian and try really hard not to eat breads/carbs, no sugar, and try to eat just fruits and veggies, but even then i feel bad about eating, so i try to only take in water. but i have no weightloss !!! i am really angry at my body b/c it's not acting the way most bodies would if they were being starved. most people lose weight when they don't eat: right?
i know that eating some protein would probably help, but then that means i'd have to eat and once i put anything in my mouth i feel this HUGE guilt trip, and i get really tired after i eat anything. does anyone get tired after they eat anything? i injured my left foot about 3 months ago, and cant exercise too much b/c then i can't walk. i walk 3-5 miles at work every day so i am still getting in exercise. i drink 80-96 oz h20 every day. i take vitamins. i cannot figure out what i need to be doing to lose weight. anyone have suggestions? i know that i've created a plateau in my weight and i just need to find a way down the plateau. help!!!
stats:
age: 25
height: 5'8
cw: 105
lw:89
hw:122 (in treatment)
stgw: 96
ltgw: 92
does everyone still get their periods? when i weighed around 94 i lost my period x's 6 months. i just really hate my period. i want to lose it. i hate how it makes me feel, what it does to me: bloat me up into a fucking balloon. my boobs hurt. are there any supplements to rid these symptoms? i read that 600 IU of calcium a day helps, but i haven't tried that.
also, another question for someone to answer: after walking around all day at work, my knees and legs swell. i know it's water retention, but has anyone worn ted hose, or support hoses? once you start wearing them, do you always have to wear them? i have this thought in my head that if you start to wear them, you have to always wear them? is this true? anyone know?
hope everyone is good. my email is ashleeanderson@hotmail.com or butterfly_ashes23@yahoo.com
