Then I grew into a big girl, saved up a bit of money and I'll get said surgery without the need for cancer. Might do nothing to my self-esteem but it will prevent toppling forward.<br /><br />I've been listening to the good old "If you lost a bit of weight, you'd be actually a pretty girl" since I was 12 or so, paired with "If you had a bit of strong will, you would indeed lose a few kilos." The most insane weight loss advice I got was "So why you don't stop eating, just get some daily multivitamin so that your hair doesn't fall out, until you're thin." Lately, my depression has been roaring wild so I almost stopped eating - most stuff tastes like cement and I have problems swallowing solids or ingesting larger amounts of anything; one can only go so far with thin gruel. Mommy is happy that I'm losing weight, that maybe, for once, I will be that pretty girl. Yay for toxic relationships.<br /><br />(I'm getting treated, no worries, but it goes slow and the depression brings up bad things.)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451092262381231105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-78007583071138279422013-11-01T15:59:15.064-07:002013-11-01T15:59:15.064-07:00Refocusing on what's really important is key! ...Refocusing on what's really important is key!

Food tends to move more slowly through the digestive tract when you have been under eating and there is a period of adjustment until things normalize. That said, you should discuss specifics with your MD and RD. Most colleges have these supports!<br />Hope this helps.HikerRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170145903147301280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-59872163800835414302013-10-31T19:19:23.560-07:002013-10-31T19:19:23.560-07:00Sorry this isn't fully related but I have pret...Sorry this isn't fully related but I have pretty much daily bloating and stomach discomfort and I read that that can mean you aren't digesting all of the nutrients in your food. Is that true? Do you have any tips about eating the foods I love (oatmeal, dense grainy breads, veggies, etc) that hurt my stomach because of the high fiber without having to take digestive supplements like Beano (I am a college student and they are expensive!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-73802314931533648172013-10-25T13:03:47.294-07:002013-10-25T13:03:47.294-07:00It's so hard to just remember it's just a ...It's so hard to just remember it's just a number. I'm working on just staying off my scale and not feeling bad about myself that I didn't lose as much weight as I wanted to with gastric bypass. battynursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240029154165501340noreply@blogger.com
