do I have an eating disorder?
Really really bad bloating issues - advice needed!
I am a 15 year old girl suffering from anorexia, height 166 cm and weight 39 kg. Yesterday I severely restricted because I thought I had binged the day before, and today I have eaten quite a bit more than usual. I have really really bad bloating and indigestion, I am badly constipated and my chest hurts. Is this due to the fact that I restricted and then started eating normally again??
Roll Call July 2013 Exercise Challenge!
How much do you want to exercise a month? How can you push yourself out that door when the last thing you want to do is go to the gym? Easy - Challenge yourself!!! Pick a goal and work towards it!!!
What is exercise you ask?
It is whatever you do over and above your normal everyday activity. If you start taking the stairs instead of the elevator due to your wanting to improve your health this is exercise - if you park further from the door and walk extra - this is exercise. However if your work requires you to be on your feet running around all day - this is lifestyle and not exercise and should be added to your "activity level" in your account. I think its important for you to be honest with yourself so you will truly get the benefit of this challenge.

How long can marinating chicken stay in the fridge for?
How does this sound?
I'm trying to lose 15-20 pounds in 2 months! I am implementing this plan TOMORROW! July 1st.
this is just a sample, won't be the same everyday
breakfast: 200 calories (2 slices cinnamon raisin Ezekiel toast with 0 calorie butter spray, handful of strawberries)
snack: 100 calories (a banana)
lunch: 450 calories (turkey + avocado sandwich, some blueberries and crackers)
snack: 100 calories (air popped popcorn)
dinner: 500 calories (whatever my mom makes, in moderation, the occasional 2 slices of pizza or salmon or whatever!)
snack: 150 calories (this is usually my dessert where I have fruit, or sometimes i'll have a little ice cream or chocolate treat haha - i'm a chocolate fiend!)
I also exercise 7 days a week. I do 30-40 minutes on the Arc Trainer and I do the weight loss program at level 5 or 6.
And i drink 2 liters of water per day and usually have a cup of green tea to start and end the day.
So it adds up to 1500 calories and I burn around 300. (this is how I lost weight a few months ago, then i fell WAY off track trying to do starvation diets and i've finally come to my senses)
anyway, how does it sound??? not perfectly healthy, i know. but i'm a teenager, it's summer, and I like to enjoy myself as much as possible.
and I am currently 5'7 around 140 lbs. I haven't actually weighed myself lately .. i may have actually gained some weight :/ and I'm 19
