I have a friend who'se 5'11 and she weighs 105 pounds! Could she possibly have an eating disorder? I know shes not bulemic because she never uses the bathroom, but whenever we're at a restaurant she eats a few bites and claims to be full. She drinks only diet soda and never stops talking about her weight. She brags about being skinny, though. Could she have an eating disorder or is she just really skinny?

mine was akward and forced upon me. i sat in a small room surrounded by a woman a didn't like and my mother. the lady would constantly be looking at the clock and my mom would make things up and make herself look like a good mother. (not saying she isn't) i felt as if i couldn't move an inch, because they were both watching me the wntire time. i would sit waiting for it to be over, and focusing on the carpet pattern. everytime, she would always end saying something like " okay, well, thats all the time we have for today" that always made me angry. i hated going and i think it will change the way i think about therapy and getting help for a long time. what about you?

Specifically, an SSRI (i.e. Paxil, Prozac, Lexapro, Zoloft, etc.)...or any other antidepressant for that matter. Antidepressants don't work very well for me (especially SSRI's), partly because they usually make me lazy and unmotivated. SSRI's do, however, help with my depression. I was thinking that Ritalin...which I have a prescription for, would counteract these side effects as well as help my ADHD.

This is getting pretty annoying. During the daytime, I've been tired, but during night I get energetic. At night I can run faster, jump higher (on a good night, i can jump nearly to the height of my head), and lift more for some reason, and I get hungry. I keep trying to get on a regular schedule, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know a way I could possibly get on a regular schedule?

...but his attempts didn't seem like he really ever intended to die, especially since he ends up calling 911 HIMSELF. I really believe he is just trying to get attention. What should we do? I don't want him to "try" again and accidentally suceed.

What about the different types like lacto, vegan, etc. How healthy is each of those?
I don't eat any meat or fish, but I eat plenty of beans, dairy products, and eggs. Is my diet healthy?
I would like professional opinions. I don't believe in preaching vegetarianism to meat-eaters, so please no one preach meat-eating to me. Thank you.

I'm female, 14 years of age, and I'm 5'1 and a half feet tall. Schools going to be starting in another month, and I'm wondering if there are any quick ways in gaining a few inches. My desired height is alteast 5'3- thats 1 and a half inches more than my current height. Any taller would be wanted, but I accept that I'm still growing. My parents are average height, and I know about eating habits.

Thanks a lot- I'm entering my freshman year, and I don't want to be pictured as the 'short girl' for the rest of her high school years. Thanks!

I don't want a six pack because that's kind of odd for a girl, but I want really toned abs. For the past two weeks I've been doing 3 sets of 25 crunches along with other exercises for other body parts, but what are some other ab workouts I can do? And please don't just give me links unless you've actually tried those exercises. Thanks in advance!!

Here it is. I had a hysterectomy about 5 years ago and was on Premarin. I had been a smoker for 30 years. I no longer take hormones, I quit smoking in December of 2006. I have gained about 50 lbs. I have for about 2 months changed my diet, I eat 5 small meals of between 250 and 300 calories, low carbs, high protien. I do not drink soda, just water and fat free milk. I have been walking about 3 miles 3x a week and walk about a mile the other days with my dogs. I try to do more exercising but after I walk, my ankles hurt so bad that I can barely walk after a rest. I have changed shoes also to see if that helps. What am I doing wrong so that I can lose the weight? I know less weight would help my ankles. I take a good multi vitamin, Chromium Picolinate and glucosamine chondroitin MSM. Can anyone give me some advice??
I have not lost a single pound. I seem to be gaining.

Everyday for lunch and supper I usually eat either boneless, skinless chicken breast grilled with lemon pepper or tillapia prepared the same way. I was wondering that is too many calories. Yes, I do get sick of eating those two things daily, but it is all that I know of that is healthy.
