Recently I have been living on coffee, which isn't helping. I'm sure!<BR/><BR/>The worst feeling in the world is putting on a pair of pants that used to be comfortably loose that are so tight they hurt! Just to keep myself sane, I'm going to buy bigger pants--which won't be easy to do. But that is better for me because then I won't feel so disgusting in public. It's worse to stuff yourself in jeans with love handles hanging over the sides than to just buy pants that fit. I need to get that through my head!<BR/><BR/>Starving is very bad. It actually makes your pituitary work harder. Just type into google anorexia pituitary and you'll find medical journals that talk about it. That's another possibility why my pituitary isn't working right.<BR/><BR/>Some of these studies suggest that those who have eating disorders actually have a pituitary disorder. I lost my period for almost a year during this time in my life and couldn't understand why it took so long to get back even after I had started eating and was up to good weight. I never told anyone this happened to me!<BR/><BR/>I guess it comes down to which came first, the chicken or the egg?

I ride a bike on a trainer 5-6 days a week hard as I can for at least 45 mins and I do ashtanga yoga 5-6 days a week. I have flabby watery fat on my legs and butt and now on my upper arms, and its been alot worse now since I did an ill advised DMPS urine challenge. I took myself off all sugar, coffee, alcohol and grains etc, and eat a paleo diet, but still nothing, in the last week it has been worse but feels like fluid retention. a couple of years back I was about 105 and lean and muscular, now I cant even look at candy and put on weight. like you I am scared and concerned and feel my mind wanting to starve me in order to kick start some weight loss. I really know what youre talking about.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10655701181650008070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540394361537635721.post-6128322882530995352009-03-18T15:11:00.000-04:002009-03-18T15:11:00.000-04:00I know exactly what you mean, I can totally sympat...I know exactly what you mean, I can totally sympathize with you.
