Confession Time...what's your secret?!?!?!?
I would just like to reach a weight that my body and mind are happy with...
Because I'm underweight and I'm unsatisfied, but my boyfriend is worried...and so am I. So I come on here to find healthy living tips so that maybe I won't have to live with such extreme restrictions. I'm 5'7" and 105lb and that is just not healthy.

Hot Yoga (Bikram Yoga)

When I was really REALLY into yoga and trying just about every type imaginable, I walked into a 'Hot Yoga' room just before a class began and I walked right out. I told the teacher that "I like my yoga cold" - I was just being flippant but I totally need air moving around me for just about everything. I get a little anxious when the air is too close (okay, I panic when the air is stuffy).

Try it and see if it's suitable, but be insistent if you need water or a break. Some yoga teachers are unduly harsh on their students (that is NOT yoga in my book) and treat yoga as a test of endurance. Unsporting, really.

***************************************************************

This was also my experience. I couldn't breathe, and yet the teacher would NOT let me leave or take a break. I was laying on my mat panting and trying to fight off an asthma attack (I'm in shape & exercise often, but heat brings on panic for me) and they still wouldn't stop yelling at me to "Keep going! Fight through the pain!"

That was not yoga. It was slow torture.

Hot Yoga (Bikram Yoga)
I did this...I hated it. As someone with asthma, I can say for sure that anyone with health issues should NOT do hot yoga.
You do stretch more easily, but that's not necessarily a good thing, and many people end up pulling muscles because their bodies aren't able to stop them at the "ouch!" point like normal.
The upside is the calorie burn/weight loss, but most weight lost is water weight from sweating so much. I don't know...exercising at such high temps really isn't good for your body. It's very hard on your system. People have heart attacks and pass out from dehydration. It's just not a great idea.

All in all, hot yoga is a fad that will hopefully pass, just like parachute pants.

MS and Fibro
UGH, I have Fibro as well, and it definitely makes exercising difficult...especially because I have awful CFS. I'm always exhausted.

I find gentile yoga to be really nice, as long as I don't do it every day. Start stretching instead of exercising, get your body prepared to ease into physical exercise. (:

Eating better or just eating less?
Healthy foods are also generally more filling, thanks to being complete proteins or complex carbs. Brown rice will keep you filled longer than white rice, whole wheat bread with peanut butter will keep your body burning energy for much longer than white bread with jelly.
