A community that may help answer some of the questions you may have, its not a recovery community. Just a place where you can get answers from MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS.

YAY! Thanks for bumping that. I think it has real potential to be helpful. I see so many health q's asked in pro-ed communities that wouldn't be hard to answer with a little research, but this adds a personal touch that some may need, or prefer.

I'm anxious to see how they do there. Anyway, I think it's a CAPITAL site :)

You and your word of the week... Capital my ass!
Wait, that doesnt even make sense. Oh fiddlesticks!
I hope the girls ask some of their questions in the Q&A community, it can be scary to see some of the answers we used to give each other.
I once tried to tell Amber to use Pedialite to combat the passing out problem, that it would help balance the electrolites (her doc had told her to eat a salty cracker or chips to get the sodium- but she wouldnt because of the calories.) She was concerned that there was no nutritional info on the bottle and didnt want to have to guess at the caloric content.......
Speaking of caloric content:
The girl here at work is going to fetch me a Crispy Chicken Deluxe thing, Im scared. Ive not smelled the stench of Raunchy Rons in years,
Im sure this anxiety is all part of the healing process....

Oh, please humor me! Did you like "eleventy" better? :-)

It is. It takes awhile to break old habits and form new ones. Funny, I never really thought of fast food as being particulary healing, but in your case, it is.

When I had my thing my Mom used to go get me banana splits from a joint near her(Theirs are SOOO good). Sometimes two a day. I choked on them most of the time, but I desperatly needed to put on a few lbs quickly. I'd eat a bite or two and stick them back in the freezer and go back and try again later. It got easier in time.

We all have to start somewhere :)

I was joking, I like them both. I remember I used capital a few times, I actually had on eof those word a day calandars.... But I love the !!eleventy!11!one!1!

I think this is the equivilant to shock therapy, I never really liked Rotton Ronnies, even in the good old days. Ill just have to learn to deal with it, or bring a lunch on days when the kitchen is closed to avoid this situation. Or just not eat but then thats not so good either... ITS HERE, ON MY DESK... RIGHT NOW! Theres no way this can be good for anyone!

Thanks for the link! The site looks really interesting. I'm going to promote it as well.

[princessmambi]

Thanks, I think thats super coolio. I dont care who goes into recovery, I dont want to be that recovery freak who thinks that since I made it out I have to help everyone to get out...
But I think its good to be able to get clear, ACCURATE information that deals specifically with EDs from actual medical folks- not that getting medical information from a 13 year old is bad.... Oh, I dont mean that in a bad way. I hope that wasnt too harsh, I think you get the idea Im driving at?

[catchthesparkle]

Oh no, I completely agree with you.

Princess,

Good to see you posting. Please keep us updated on your recovery steps and how you are feeling. I just want to lose weight. I sent in my money for a Triathlon in March (825yd swim, 3 mi run, 12 mi bike).

Miss you,
FOX

Hey! Im still here, I read along with the proanorexia board but its just not as important to me as it once was. I feel okay, Im not going to say Im blissfully happy (yet) but Im still trucking!
Little by little.... Lets see what happens if I gain.

[princessmambi]

And good job on the triathalon! Im going to start cycling soon (its too cold right now) and Im enrolling in the spinning classes to get the ball rolling!
I know youll kick ass, if you are driven enough to live with ana you will be driven enough to face just about anything.

Hello darling! How are you?

[princessmambi]

Good and not so good. I am eating, I am eating a Crispy Chicken Deluxe "meal".... This cant be good for anyone, not even healthy people who eat all the time. Im dissecting it right now, and the fries are gone (gave them to the office next door) I cant figure out whats the closest to being healthy in this thing. I think Ill hold out for a nice pita wrap at home...
How are things with the job? It sounds like your in the worst office ever!

Strange as it sounds, I've actually had a job worse than this - I did security work for 6 years while I was in school so in comparison this is an improvement. I've just decided to simply do as little as I possibly can while I'm still employed here and look for anything in my field that will pay what I'm looking for, even if it's not exactly what I want to wind up doing. I guess I will just have to console my self with the thought that SOMEWHERE out there is an employer that will be willing to pay what I'm worth and I just have to keep searching until I find them b/c I know they're not gonna come knocking on my door

[princessmambi]

Too late I ate the sandwich and some of the fries, I feel like Im going to die! This is why I try to stick to organic, this is about as far from organic as it gets!
