SICK FROM NOT EATING....hunger and trying to lose weight.From: ALicia (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 14 Dec 2000 10:11:23 -0600 (CST)
I almost passed out yesterday. I had a turkey sandwich on wheaty bread, its the thick brownberry kind that usually lasts a long time, with tofu butter, fake butter made out of tofu high in protein and acouple radishes. Yes I eat weird...I know that. This was my breakfast at 8 am. Ok usually I make it through the morning and I was busy didnt take any food with me which can be troublesome. Went to my last writing class. Im disabled so I dont work but I am regaining some mobilities and activity due to some better health. Went to buy gift and went to library. I had to pick my husband up at 130-200 so I didnt want to go all the way home by 100. I had a diet pop with me only., ANYHOW....I GOT VERY SICK as I sometimes do when I feel my sugar crash, I do get a fast heart rate and I feel like I will go MAD. I have to EAT or else I feel like the world will end. I get panic attacks during this time and feel terribly queasy. Get headaches and if I get into the 6 and 7 hour no eating range.....I get visual problems and start crying uncontrollably. Eating always solves this stuff. The only way I have controlled this severe stuff...and I used to have terrible PANIC attacks for years until I figured out this was what was causing them...I cured them mostly except for rarer instances like this is I EAT BY A CLOCK AT THE SAME EXACT TIMES EVERY DAY. 8, 12, 4, and 7-8 and a very small snack if I am up late--half sandwich. I have been worried about my caloric intake so I havent wanted to eat my snacks and Well I get sick! I HATE THE FACT THAT I CANT SIMPLY QUIT EATING TO LOSE MY DAMN WEIGHT. Ive tried to explain this physiological fact to doctors etc. In fact I am used to eating such small amounts all day that my stomach has shrunk. I ALWAYS take leftovers home from larg restaurant meals and there is nO way I could eat that much food. On THANKSGIVING there were no seconds of anything not only due to watching what I eat but NO ROOM! My doctor told me give up the two snacks the 4 oclock one and the night one. I always make sure they are under 400 calories but this is 600 calories I would do better to be without! Ive tried eating radishes and salad and a little bit of meat that helps but still its more calories. I cant eat less than around 2000 calories in a day without being ill. (Keep in mind I am 6 feet tall and a large build.....size 13 feet) but because my metabolism is so Deranged....I have to do better than I usually do because I am losing too slowly. Im scared of this weight doing me in even though I am losing around 60lbs a year I have SOOOOO FAAAAAAARRRRRR still to go. I am still in the midhigh 400s. I talk to people who tell me even one lady with PCOS oh I can go 7-8 hours without eating and I am jealous. Really. An average size friend of mine told me oh I ate a bagel in the morning and I didnt eat dinner til 10. Im thinking damn if only I could go that long. I cant go on Metaforim even because of possiblity of kidney disease and other health problems. SIGH! I wam wondering if anyone else feels this way...do you get sick from not eating. I know its NOT psychological. This happens whether Im busy bored, happy sad. Sometimes I am annoyed and busy and pissed that I have to stop and go eat. Please offer any advice. I am frustrated because I am eating only complex carbs, salad, proteins. tons of veggies. My grocery bills are super high because I snack on a lot of produce. THIS IS MAJORLY FRUSTRATING.
