Health - 1 November 2007

I used to be kind of chunky, about 115 lbs at 5'0. So I went on a diet and started exercising until I became around 88lbs. But because of Halloween, this whole past month I've been eating so much Halloween-themed junk. Now I just keep eating and eating and I can't stop myself.

I think about food almost all the time, I think about my next meals and what junk food I'm craving, etc. I'm having a hard time concentrating in school because I want food so much, even though I'm nowhere near hungry. It's kind of scaring me.

But I can't stop myself from eating. The other night I had three slices of pizza, Taco Bell, and chocolate bars just for dinner. It's just constant binging. I eat when I'm bored, when I'm happy, especially when I'm sad - It's a comfort thing.

How do I get back in control of my life? I'm already up to 93 lbs, and if I keep going at this rate, I'm going to gain back everything I lost, and then some. HELP?

Im 19 and I just feel that every day is the same, I cant stand this place and wish i could go away forever. Im a huge social phobe and hate feeling heart broken all the time about stupid stuff. Im a pretty religious person and so it pisses me off when i feel this way because i know so many other people have it worse. But that doesnt make th e pain go away. I really want to end it but there are two problems, a) I dont want to go to hell, that would be effing scary, and b) i am too much of a wuss to try. I tried to see what it would be like to hang myself and got scared just wrapping the phone cord around my neck. the point i am making is, what the hell do i do? Do i just have to deal and live like this? Would God really just banish me to hell just like that?

So I'm out of town at the moment, so I can't go to my doc. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. This was my second month of Clomid...Before the meds I had a 28-30 day cycle. Last month it was 21 and this month freaking 19....I thought Clomid made you have LONGER cycles. I don't get what's going on. Anyone care to explain if this has happened to them while on clomid 50 mg cd5-9???

I decided to train for a 1/2 marathon a little over 7 weeks ago. I started out at 5'7" and 240lbs. (Yes, I am verymuch overweight, but I have an odd body type where I look like I am only slightly overweight! No one who knows me thinks I could weight anywhere near even 200lbs.) Anyway, I have not tried to "diet", but I also have not been eating anymore than I was before. I eat fairly healthy since I am feeding my family healthy foods.
Back to the training, I am up to speedwalking/jogging 3.1 miles a day (5k) and have been for about 2 weeks. I lift weights here and there, but mainly stick with the walking. My heart rate is usually between 135 and 160 for approximately 40 minutes during the main part of my workout. But....I have not lost ANY weight! It wasn't my goal to lose weight when I started, but expected a few pounds since I had not been moving much before I started this. I just think it is weird. I know you build muscle and that weighs more than fat...blah blah blah, but c'mon!!!

I drive buy her every morning at 7:00. I can't believe the school would allow a young lady to wait alone on a street corner that’s a used car lot, open field, and a busy hwy. I can only guess how may predators drive by this pretty much defenseless girl everyday. What can I do to protect her?

i think people are diagnosed wityh bi polar too aften and other ways of addressing the probem are over looked. Also do you think that the medications alter your brain chemistry permanately? I took Serzone over ten years ago. Serzone has since been pulled off the market but anyway I have memory problems that started while I was on serzone. And that stuff did zone me out I was not me anymore at that time.

I dont know why this happens but at least i see a pattern. Just before my period i want to cry, i mean i really cant control it. Worst of all i was in work yesterday and out of the blue i started tearing up for no reason. All my work collegues where like "whats wrong" and my boss thinks i cant cope with my work, thats not true but how do i explain im crying for no reason. My boyfriend doesnt get it either so i get angry with him when he thinks hes done something and i cant explain why ive got tears in my eyes. Im not a sentisive person. Anyone else like this.

Have any of you had a broken leg or knew someone who had a broken leg and your/their outlook on everything became negative?

My friend had broken his tibia and fibia broken right below his knee so he has a full leg cast on. I suggest taking him to Saturdays Market (a kinda hickish thing from where Im from which includes outdoor and indoor vendors which sell things) to get him a model car that he can paint and put together when he's bored. He doesnt have any problems getting around what so ever because its been 2+ months that he's had this cast on. He says he doesnt wanna be walking around with people all in his way. So Im like okay. He says, "I like car rides. They're good." Well then I suggest him going up home with me which is a 2 hour drive and he says, "That means I'll have to meet people and when they ask what happened to my leg, Imma have to explain to them for the 400th million time what happened." I cant do anything that'll make this kid happy... HELP!!!

Well, I've been doing some research and I've been wondering;

I'm overweight
I pee way too much
I'm of African decent (heard this contributes)
As a child, I consumed a lot of sugar

Now don't call me dumb if some of these things seem stupid but, this is just what I've read and stuff.

Anyone have any other "symptoms" or anything? I will of course go to a doctor to find out for sure but, I'm just wondering.

Thanks,

If someone were to take a drug test for a job or whatever and test positive for marijuana, does the testing center notify the police or something. Can they get you arrested?

i don't know if you've been following my posts or not, but i've been depressed for about 5 years and i recently got help from a psychoanalyst who prescribed me prozac.i've only been on it for 2 days now, and my symptoms have only gotten worse. i've heard that's common, so i'm not too worried. but if theres anyone else out there on prozac, do you have some feedback? i mean, does it actually work, or are there side effects, or anything? just some general first hand info would be great.

& thanks to everyone who persuaded me to get help because honestly, i never would have if it werent for the people telling me i needed it. so thanks
