Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

Unlike most of America, I'm struggling to maintain weight. My goal is to stay over 100lb, which is still very, very light and very much a challenge. It is hard because most of the people around me (other than my family) are trying to lose weight, while I suffer from low appetite and an absurdly high metabolism as well as dietary restrictions and allergies(soy, caffeine, false sugar, proccessed sugar, MSG, pineapple).

Treatments

Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked

Staying away from soy, false sugar, MSG, and excessive caffeine and processed sugar, which keep my pain down so it doesn't destroy my already small appetite.

Open Coming Out

I'm bisexual. My friends, boyfriend, and brother know, but I am somewhat concerned about social ramifications.

Open Insomnia

I've always been a lighter sleep/had trouble sleeping, even as a small child. When I got to college, it got worse. Then I was addicted to Ativan and Clonopin and they messed with my system enough that my body doesn't always understand a normal waking/sleeping cycle.
