I STARTED TO DEVELOP AN EATING DISORDER AND WAS IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AND EATING DISORDER CLINICS. I HAVE AN OVER EXCERSIZING PROBLEM I DO CARRDIO FOR ABOUT 30-1 HOUR AND WEIGHT EVERYDAY. I STARTED THIS LAST MARCH. I DONT EAT AND REFINED CARBS AND I TRY AND EAT LOW FAT PROTEINS BUT DONT REALLY EAT MEAT AND CHICKEN CUZ IM A VEGETARIAN. I TEND TO GRAZE AND NOT EAT SOLID THINGS BUT LIKE NUTS AND LIKE COTTAGE CHEESE AND LIKE I EAT LIKE MAYBE 1/2 A CUP TO ONE CUP AT A TIME BUT QUITE OFTEN AND ITS ALL LIKE SUGAR FREE FAT FREE WHATEVER. I DONT EAT FRUITS BUT I SOMETIMES "CHEAT" ON THEM CUZ IM ALWAYS SCARED THEY WILL MAKE ME GAIN WEIGHT. I WAS ABUSING ASPARTAME AND USED LIKE 60 PACKETS A DAY. ID COUNT CALORIES AND HOW MUCH I BURN AND EVERYTHING. I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND HOW IM GAINING WEIGHT. MY CLOTHES IS TIGHTER ITS NOT THE PERIOD LAST NITE IT SAID I WEIGHED LIKE 165.
