I can't eat. I am in so much emotional turmoil that I have no appetite.

I'm not sleeping either. Do men experience this or are women simply prone to take everything no matter how small or large and make it into an over dramatic scene?

I'm not sleeping either. I haven't eaten anything in almost 48 hours, and this isn't by choice, I see food, I try to eat it, and I'm automatically ill. I am not pregnant, I'm just upset.

I know that not eating will screw with my metabolism and I've come so far doing this the right way that I don't want to screw my body up doing it the wrong way. I just can't bring myself to do anything. This morning I have a coffee, but I couldn't have my VitaTop. I thought about the process of making it and my stomach turned.

I am down today though, I have been so terribly lazy on weekends and my lack of eating this weekend, I'm not sure how that happened. Usually I hold onto weight when I don't eat. I am not as lucky as info that a fast can turn into loss, under usual circumstances. (I am totally jealous of info's ability to do that, though :) )

I'm trying to keep things positive in my head and in my life. Vacation is here in 25 days. I'm hoping I can get a few more pounds off in that time. Maybe 4 or 5. I don't want to push myself though. I need to tread carefully if I am going to persist in this and maintain 100%. I don't want to go back to looking and feeling the way I did.

End rant.

Alli I think everyone, men and women, process stress and anxiety in their own unique way. I'm so sorry you've been upset. I hope it settles down soon and in the interim I would recommend making sure you stay hydrated. Drink water. Eat what you can that your stomach can tolerate. Whatever is upsetting you ... don't forget to be kind to yourself.

Ditto what Moose said. If you can't eat then don't stress about it. You won't do damage to your metabolism after a couple or a few days of not being able to eat. Stressing about not being able to eat is just adding to the rest of your stresss. It's hard not to be lazy on weekends during the summer so don't be hard on yourself.

And I just read your post re stretch marks. When I was pregnant I used this Mama Mio brand stuff. It was expensive--especially as my belly got bigger, but I barely got any stretch marks. The ones I did get are mostly gone now--they are very light. I have no clue if it would make them go away but it smells really nice. Most of their products are for preventing stretch marks but they do have a product for making them go away. I seem to remember using this after I had the baby. And I agree about time. And also keep them out of the sun. Sun will make them darker. I think I've heard Revitol and Trilastin work for some people. Not sure how to spell. I always find my overpriced beauty products for cheaper on eBay. You can always find sample sizes of stuff if you want to try something. Just watch out for high shipping charges. I go for the free ship offers.
