I worked out last night-- a leg day. I lifted half of my usual, but at least I was there. Re-weighed myself. I've lost 20 pounds. I can't eat. I can't handle water. I'm going to see if my manager will let me leave despite the fact that it's almost month end and there's a lot I need to get done.

I'm thinking of going to my dr today. This just isn't right. I'm getting dehydrated. I'm going to try some pediatric elecrolyte today. Maybe I can hold it down. This is always what happens when I'm really stressed out....but I don't want the weight loss to be more extreme than this. It's VERY frustrating since I've worked hard to get up to where I was and now I'm wasting away.

I am really proud of myself for doing what's best for me. I just feel bad that in the process I hurt a guy I really care about. It's tearing me apart to know how much he's hurting. I know this is best though and despite feeling so awful, I'm looking forward to getting to start over.

Katie-

I am so sorry honey!!! I know that you are having such a hard time right now! I am thinking about you and I am here if you need me!!!

I hope you didn't lose 20 pounds in just 2 weeks...if you did, that's a pretty big strain on your body. You need to get the calories in, whatever it takes. Your body is under a tremendous amount of strain from the relationship thing, and the no food and water makes it exponentially worse. I hope you can get some help sweetie. Maybe going to the dr is a pretty good idea?

Hope you're feeling better. Things do change, and eventually they get better.

I just called my dr. and I'm going to go in at 4. Hopefully that will help.

Good luck sweetie!!! Hopefully everything will be okay and you can de-stress!

Sorry to hear you're having a rough go of it.

I hope everything goes OK at the doctor.

I do the same thing - I'm much less likely to eat when stressed out, and I wind up getting sick and worn down. This creates a vicious cycle that can just get nuts at times.

Try to relax and do some nice things for yourself.

I hope you feel better.

i can't eat when stressed either.. i've been forcefeeding myself (mostly junk)...

it'll pass... go see your doctor and take it easy on yourself.

Sorry about all you're going through. Seeing the doctor is a good idea. Try to eat for your health. If you want to go to the gym, do it, otherwise take a break. It'll still be there. For me sometimes the gym is just the thing to clear my head, other times not though. Take care!

Hang in there. It will be ok. It will make you stronger, just wait and see.

Raina -

How did the visit to the doc go? The good news is that 20lbs you lost is probably mostly water weight. See if you can follow a straight diet & just consider it "fuel" that you "have to put in". Lots of water will keep your system flushed out and keep you from getting dehydrated. And the good news is that things will always get better. Take some time to find yourself and enjoy the good things in life that make you happy.
