WHAT YOU SAY

just some friendly advice:

I dont have the diabetes symptoms, but I do have some of the symptoms of anemia...Like fatigue (with too much physical labor), fainting (this rarely happens..probaly a total of 3 times in my life), shortness in breathe (when I do streneous activities), and headaches (I get this often). These are also very common symptoms that could be a result of many illness.

The food w/ iron that is recommended for the anemics are vit. c, lean meat, and green leaf vegetables. I do eat all of that on a regular basis...so I dont really know I am really anemic. I problay should get my blood tested to find out, as you have suggested.

Also, not to gross ya'll out...but I'm just wondering if this is normal. I could eat a horse...then immediately have a bowel movement...then I'm starving again! And if I dont eat shortly after that...I feel really weak like I'm about to collapse. Does this sound serious to you all?

me:

I know I should feel lucky that my weight has never been an issue. Call me weird..but I enjoy eating meat, fruits, vegetables, bread, and juices. As a matter of fact, these are the things I crave for...not caffeine, sweets or diary products (they're just too heavy). If I was force to eat the things I dislike on a regular basis...I think I would fail miserably. What I am trying to say is...I understand dieting and excersizing are not easy...it requires determination and self-motivation (which you obviously have). So keep up the good work!

Regarding a comment you made on another forum about size 0 not being a human size, and those people not eating. Well, you're gonna hate me when I say this...but I am a size 0, I feel human, and I eat like a pig. Some things are genetic...like high metabolism. We all have our issues...in your case, its healthy eating...in my case, it constant hunger.

I know, b/c all I do is eat!!

be and me-
i was reading your posts about having to eat all the time or else you feel like collapsing. i was curious if either of you have ever had your blood glucose measured. sometimes that can be a sign of diabetes. i would recommend having that checked out when you get a chance just to be on the safe side.

me:
I've a friend who also has big boobs and a small butt. she usually just wore sweatshirt and jeans, a lot of guys thought she looked fat and nothing special. until they see her at clubbing wearing a tighter shirt in a light color and some baggy pants, suddenly they think she is so hot and keep asking about her ...dunno if that helps.
