Her hair fell out in handfuls as well. I think she went by 'The Blonde Vegan'. She needed therapy in the end, so it was a proper eating disorder.
In principle, it's great and I'd encourage you to try it. Some people get obsessed though, and end up with a dangerously restrictive diet. And get sick. That simple really.
In a nutshell, it means that you only eat whole and unprocessed foods.
It's like anything else - great if you're sensible, but if you take it to extremes it's not going to be good for you.
Good call.
Please come back here, we'd love to be your cheerleaders!
OK, got you. To start off with Gloria, I'd skip trying to set any goals. Look at trying to eat low fat, low calorie foods (LOTS of fresh veggies, and lean meat if you eat meat), and do a little extra exercise - even if it's only walking round your block in the morning and evening.
After a week, weigh yourself and see what (if anything) you've lost. There's no point in putting pressure on yourself to hit targets, particularly if you suffer from anxiety.
Gloria, you say that you see your doctor regularly...do you have any other medical issues? I don't want people to give you advice that might not be suitable for you.
Straight away - honey, please go see your doctor before you start dieting.
The aches, pains, breathlessness and tiredness very likely ARE going to be due to your weight, but you should get a medical cause ruled out first.
Then we can talk goals. ;)
It certainly would be for me. That's $1200 a year - go on holiday instead lol!
Ouch. So a rough week could cost you $25
That...is actually a really good tip Jenna lol
Guess so. At least everyone will get home safe.
You don't have to explain why you don't want to drink though! Just say that you don't want to lol
Completely agree. Way too much pressure these days to drink too much.
Well, to be fair, if you do it won't just be your waistline which thanks you - think of the money you'll save.
