From Allie, Age 14 - 12/23/08 - IP#: 97.104.129.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'2", Start: 155 lb, Today: 155 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 135 lb - So I have been under a lot of stress lately. Family problems and I'll just eat and eat all day then I won't eat for days. I have gotten so bad with my eatting problems that I was bulimic and I had to stay in the hospital for a while and go to counseling. Around Januray of 08 I was fine. Then April of 08 I had to get a jaw surgery and I was on a liquid diet for 2 1/2 weeks. So before the surgery I ate a lot. I lost a few pounds after but not much. I just gone back to the doctor last month and the surgery didn't help as much as what we were hoping for. So December 31st,2008 (Oh yea new years eve) I'm getting a 2nd jaw surgery. I'm going to be on a liquid diet for a month! =/. I'll really worried about that because I have a lot of health problems. So its stressing me even more to where I eat a lot of food then get so sick I can't eat for 2 days. I don't know what to do!
Reply from Cassidy, Age 15 - 01/01/09 - IP#: 24.179.129.xxx Hey, it's OK. I know how you feel about your stress. But here's some advice from me to you-it's actually from my doctor, but here goes: "Control what goes in your mouth and out of your mouth." Here's what it means-you got to control what you eat, and control what you say about yourself and others. Like, let's say you got teased at school one day. You shouldn't say any swear words or anything like that. You don't want to get in trouble with a teacher or your principal or maybe even your parents! You just got to ignore the person who is teasing you. But anyway, the part where you got to control what goes into your mouth. Well, let's say you were going to put that slice of pizza in your mouth or that soda you really like. You got to think twice about what's healthy and what's not. Hope this advice works for you. P.s. Hope your jaw surgery goes OK!
