I know gaining weight takes a lot of footwork. I don\'t like to eat either and that\'s where I stay stuck sometimes. It\'s like I know the rules, but don\'t want to play the game. And car trouble, don\'t even get me started. I\'m just glad it worked out for you! XOXOXO
hey hope the college rings u soon fingers crossed! I wana thku for ur on going support through my relapse also! As I\'ve been successful so far today (still feeling a lil anxious but i\'ve done much betta than yesterday! with ur support so thku!).
My mom is the same way. I hate going out with her because I know she is going to want to go out to eat. All she thinks about is eatting. I\'m glad your mom made you feel comfortable. My mom doesn\'t. She pressures me into eatting. My husband is the only person I feel comfortable going out to eat with. I hate buffets. I don\'t go anywhere near them, so good for you for going to one and making it through.
That\'s kick ass (about your car! I remember that).
I know how hard it is to eat. I just ate.. Well half a burger yesterday! It felt so good. It was a plain one cut in half, but I actually enjoyed it. I just didn\'t eat the rest of the day (doh!). But hey, we can only try right? Eat some healthy protein bars to gain a bit? You\'ll gain healthy weight, and not bad weight, such as by eating cheeseburgers and what not. Goodluck!
i wish i was back in your shoes, back when i was TRYING to get myselfTO eat TO gain weight to stay out of the hospital. now i wish i didn\'t ever crave things because i eat an ungodly amount of food.
ninanator has good advice about eating protein bars and such. if i was back in your shoes, i would do exactly the OPPOSITE of what i did to gain weight. i didn\'t eat many healthy things, and the weight i gained was a lot of fat. you want to gain muscle mass to gain weight. so protein bars and foods that have higher calories but not a big fat content. try for a large amount of pasta servings a day, try whole wheat because it\'s better for you.
if you are an avid exerciser, you\'ll probably want to slow down on it. do more workouts that will build muscle, like weight lifting[if possible] or swimming.
basically this is going to be a hard time for you, it\'s a hard time for all of us on here! but we are all lucky for finding dailystrength.com and together we will all become healthy!
