I know it's hard to tell online, but I just think this is odd. I mean Ana Carolina Reston(model) recently died from anorexia. She was 5'6 88 pounds. My friend is also a model, (just starting out), and she is 5'10 90 pounds. Alot of other people who had anorexia were alot bigger than her. Most models these days are at least 100. She has veins in her forehead, She is always cold, she bruises easily, i never see her eat, and even our teacher (we go to a small private school) said that he caught her throwing up before. She's 18, so i think she's stopped growing...right? If anyone wants a pic, i have one (i'll take her face out of it).

For about a month or two or now, my eating habits have erratically changed. Vegetables and meats stopped appealing to me, and whenever I ate them, they just didn't taste right. Homemade, McDonalds, resturant... didn't matter. Just didn't taste right or feel right.

At the same time, I found myself significantly hungrier. I found myself going from eating, perhaps, for a pizza dinner, only half a slice and two garlic nauts(sp?) to eating two or three slices and five or six garlic nauts(sp?).

Likewise, when I used to eat about two or three meals a day, I'm now eating 6 meals or so... not including snacks.

I have no idea what the heck's going on. At first I thought it was pregnancy, but, I'm on birth control pills, and take them at the same time every night, haven't missed them. My BCP's are Loestrin 24 Fe.

I know that around December I get depressed due to the fact it's my mother's death anniversary, but...

... otherwise, that's it, really.

What's wrong with me?

i damaged my front teeth agers ago, my teeth look okay on the eye, but don't feel good since the damage.

anyway i'm paying private once the new year is over with and possibly looking at 2 dental implants, or maybe 1 implant and a procera crown.

just wondering though, my teeth are pretty straight but i have a slight gap in my front tooth, could the dentist easy make the teeth bigger should i decide to get an implant (or crown) to cover the gap?

i don't want to bother with 'bonding' as you need to keep getting that done every few years, but i'm unsure whether to keep the gap or join them together.

its never caused me any trouble or bothered me before, but its kinda gutting paying possibley £3,000 for 2 implants - (all my savings i might add and i'm currently not working) :O

and i'm thinking to myself maybe i should get it done and i can say ive got something for my money.

whats your views? and is it possible?

Quaker Old Fashioned Oatmeal has 3 grams of fiber. What can I add to it, that taste yummy, to get more fiber. I love Great Grains and Fiber One cereal, anyone ever add these to oatmeal to enhance the taste and get more fiber? I will be trying these on the next trip to the market. Recently diagnosed with Hypertension so I'm also trying to stay away from foods high in salt.

I was rear-ended today. There is minimal visable damage to my car, what I can see can probably be buffed out. I was visably shaking afterward and had a headache very shortly afterward. Now a few hours later, the center of my back and one side of my neck feel mildly stiff and sore. It's a holiday weekend, so I can't get checked by a chiropractor until Tuesday, my only immediate option would be the ER - but I don't want to make too big a deal out of it... and I'm home alone with the kids, it's be a pain to go to the ER tonight. Is it OK to wait until Tuesday? Should I go to the ER tomorrow even if it was a minor accident and they won't have a back specialist in there anyhow? I'd appreciate any advice... I do NOT want to be hurt, but I want to be sure I get the care I need b/c I'm starting a new job this week that is physically demanding.

This year has not been the best for me, due to many reasons. Anyway i was diagnosed with depression which to me wasnt such a shock for the last few months before that i was really low at losing me and didnt care anymore.
But what i would like to know is how do you beat the feeling of being lost and wanting you back? for me this has been a year of wanting me back but still cant find me- this should i hope make sense to people in a similar situation!
I got to the stage of considering loads of things it got out of control to a certain extent but i was able to confide in a close friend who has been through loads too, with her help and support i went for help! i refused tablets tho.
My problem is i would also like to know is it part off it or just me over the festive period it was spent with family bros and parents but i didnt want to be there and felt trapped so closed down, and i am still closed down altho New Year is coming.
Can anyone help me out on this please.Thanks

I smoked it 2 days apart and it was barely enough to get me high both times I did it. I quit smoking after the second time I did it. A couple days later I started getting depressed and having insomnia, I was irritable, my physical perception of life was different It was like I was looking through someone else's eyes. I was always aggravated, and I started waking up in the middle of the night shaking for a couple of days. Then one night my brother and I were driving and it just came down, everything started going back to normal in an instant. My voice changed but I still felt kind of weird, like I wasn't all the way back. I went to sleep and woke up in a panic, I forgot how my usual perception was and my heart was beating fast because it was going back to normal; just like when I smoked the first time I freaked out because I never saw life that way it was scary. My perception is still a little off, is it going to take more time to go back to normal or do i have to get used to it?

I can not believe that Eric lost over 200 lbs. in 8 months.
I have lost 120 in a year, and have 60 to go. I need to firm up A LOT, and I am able to spend 3 hours a day at the gym. (I love the gym) My husband is a Marine, and will leave soon, so I am looking for a kickstart to the end of my weight loss.
If you could spend 3 hours per day, 6 days a week, what would be the best way to firm up, and drop those last few pounds.
I am asking for people who are either trainers or who have lost weight.
Thanks!!!
