we are made to bleed and scab and heal and bleed again, and turn every scar into a joke

Four days, four migraines ... Oh, birth control, how I adore thee. I swear, if I balloon up like I did last time I am going to quit this crap forever and remain celibate. Seriously. So far it's been way more trouble than it's worth

This is in no way intended to be catty, but when I was eating one meal a day, I was anorexic. I don't know... you can eat once a day and feel pretty good, but if you really wanna drop that next ten pounds, you might want to spread your eating throughout the day. I'm eating 6-7 times a day now and loving the results. Just a suggestion! I trust you'll do whatever's best for you.

I know what you mean about thinking you were fat back in your skinny days. My weight has always fluctuated, but it's hard to look at pictures from 2 years ago when I was a svelte 115 pounds, and realizing I have literally gained FIFTY pounds since then. Jesus. Thanks alcohol, McDonald's, and men (all things I've now cut out of my life)!

Nah, I definitely don't have an eating disorder. I'm not neurotic about it and the meal I do have isn't just, like, salad. I'm a meat and potatos kinda girl and like food too much to deprive myself of it. Honestly, most of it comes from the way Shaun and I spend our day. He only really eats one meal, too.

I've heard good things about the eating smaller and more frequently throughout the day but, to be perfectly honest, I'm too lazy to do that. :-X It's so much easier to just deal with the one meal.

In either case, it really is strange. I never understood the concept of body dismorphism and didn't really understand how that was possible UNTIL I saw those pictures and realized that I had done it. Females.
