Wednesday - short & sweet

"Would you pour sand into the gas tank of your car? Of course not. Your car was meant to run on good gasoline. Well, your body works the same way. Your body was meant to run on good food - fruits, vegetables, lean protein and lots of water. Eat good food!" Tom Giaquinto

Question: So you do you guys think...

So I've noticed that there's a lot of teens I mean a lot of young teens, health and nutrition tab post some very concerning behavior and ED symptoms. Do you think that I should stop posting how many calories can I consuming even though I'm trying to increase them and just post the meals and pictures that I'm eating for right now in the health and nutrition section? I don't know much about Ed triggers, but I don't want to be adding to any problems. I'd rather be supportive to a person's health even if I do find it helpful to my own posts I don't want to be hurtful to another well-being. So just pipe in with your thoughts if you would and just let me know what you think. I may just be overreacting it's just that I noticed there's like eight teens at tender ages right now and normally this is not the case. And there's just seems to be a lot of behaviors that are concerning and I just don't want to add to this current barrage of bad eating habits just because the medicines making me eat...

Life update

I'm so proud of myself for the progress I've made over the past year, I've grown so much. I enlisted in the Army National Guard at 17, got over bulimia and anorexia and grew so much as a person. I became someone I didn't recognize at 16-17 and it was scary but now I'm confident and strong. I can eat and not feel guilt and live freely.

My story

I am a 14 year old girl who has been struggling with an Ed since I was 11. As a result, I have not grown or developed correctly unlike other girls. I promised myself as a new years resolution that I would eat healthy. at first I tried the 2000 calorie diet but soon realize it was not meant for me. I tried it for 2 weeks and became very naseous. I found out that my body is not meant to eat that much! I come from an "almond mom" and I definitely ate less than 2000 calories evey single day. my mom got sick 3 years ago and stop shopping for food. my dad brought whatever he felt was needed and constantly bought fast food to make us feel comfortable. this is how I gained 50 pounds. I was a small 4'9 girl who was weighting 140. I became depressed and decided to change how I looked so that I wouldn't be bullied when I entered 7th grade. needless to say, I would sleep 20 hours a day and eat roughly about 500 calories. I lost 55 pounds and was in a bad place, mentally and physically. school...

Hello! Ever since the most recent Apple update the app is automatically adding in 'activity' and deducting 'calories burned'. I have this feature turned off though! I can't figure out how to make it stop and I can't seem to delete the calories either. Help!

how does one find a recipe item

So often when I check out the pull down menu for a food item, it says recipe. I'd really like to see the recipe. Is there a way to get to it? Is there a way to post my own recipes?

Tuesday - short & sweet

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles determine your strengths. When you go through hardships and you decide not to surrender, that is strength." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

Ten weeks lost 25 plus pounds. Key is my exercise keeping my net cals below 500 every day. I've never gone over my daily call allowance of 1500 and then I distract my workouts of about 1000. I'm a dairy free vegetarian with lots of fish.

Tuesday Goals!

I'm a cheerful, early bird today. Yesterday was long at the VA & discouraging. My sweet new husband is declining. We had an uplifting time with a friend after that helped. Today I get eye exam following my cataracts . Rib almost painless. I get some alone time, will cook & have porch/hot tub time . Blessings to YOU.
