neeterock,
i just wanted to second mac's concern...eating disorders are incredibly difficult to overcome. i've seen far too many friends (male and female) struggle with various ones.
i hope your reference to "hefty" was tongue in cheek, and not literal. pm me if there's anything i can help with.

Woops!!! I guess I didn't stress this fact that I am recovered. I stoped mia to climb. I was trying to stress the fact that everyone has to find there own "thing" to find there strength. I have found mine in climbing since I find it to be such an exhilarating sport. I was always naturally thin....I guess you could say. My heaviest weight, my constant, was always 97-99 lbs. I haven't checked in awhile but I doubt I over...even if I am I really don't care. I'm healthy now....and I eat like a horse....and keep it down! (a little mia humor, :roll: sorry!)
Thanks for the concern, it's extremely sweet.
Shub's
Ps. I am 5'0 tall...I'm a hobbit!!!!!

I have to say that eating is one of my most favorite things to do. The only problem is sometimes when i don't know i'm going to go run or climb i'll eat a ton of food and then it's harder to climb. (i hate to say it, but chocolate, the super food, is not the bestest thing to eat right before a climb. Or at least don't eat a pint of Godiva chocolate ice cream immedietly before climbing.)

In reply to: smiley -- yu know ... if the medical world can develop the intravenous morphine pump, i say it's high time we get the ben & jerry's pump. NURSE! TWO PINTS OF PHISH FOOD, STAT!
YYYYEEEEEAAAAHHHHHH!
:!:
I've been all across the board. High school was a sickening horrible cycle of dieting, speed/or diet pills, starvation, daily wants of just one more pound loss. I lived the "Southern California Girls" life of the beach, and expensive bathingsuits we'd save for all year...hitting over the $100 mark.
Huge problem? I wasn't the "stereo-typical" So. Cal beach girl. Never was satisfied in my appearance.
It took two comments from my Brother, "LOOK AT HER FAT ASS" "SHE'S GETTING BIGGER EVERY DAY", and then my Grandfather and Dad, "oooooh, looks like she's turning into a woman" and start laughing.
Tore me to shreds, and wanted to dissapear all in those few comments.
I dieted and Goddess, Oh, how I slept ALL the time. Of course, eating two oreos, and 6 peanuts in a 24 hour peroid, does that...as well as pure depression.
I kicked that, after I was out of school, and looked at the pile of pills (diet/laxatives/birthcontrol/water pills) and said: "I hope I wake up tomorrow"...and took them all.
I freaked at that point. called my boyfriend at the time...and we talked about what was important/and images that we're unrealistic...and i never looked back.
I gained thru years...to a lovely 170ish. Size 18-22 pant on my 5'4" frame.
I started weight watchers, and started to rollerblade/took kickboxing...yoga...then found climbing.
Now? I see life differently.
eating is annoying.
eating takes my time away from other things.
I have a meltdown, then I find I HAVE to eat.
The only time I love to eat, is with my boyfriend, cuz we're happy...and eating not so well for us. Indulging for 2 or more days. Then I'm back in my day to day life for 3 weeks, of blah gotta eat? ugh.
:P
I've lost weight, thru the last year, from stressin, or medication for allergies/and asthma...stimulants. Sometimes, I look and feel good, and others, I see: ewww I'm too skinny.
changes all the time.
I think there is old baggage there. Tendencies are there for(old patterns) anorexia/bulimia. My saying that IS being fully honist here. If I didn't think about (weight/loss/gain/muscle) it, I'd be lieing.
I like being thin, now. Worry big time of gaining to what I was. But, that is not a possiblility, in my plans for the future. Hikes, Mountaineering, climbing, mountainbiking.
Just waiting for my partner, to really get started. :)
body image changes thru the years...being where I am now? I embrace all body types. Birth and Pregnancy does that...miracles ARE purely in ALL womans bodies.
wow, went on a speaal.
been awhile since i've done that, eh?
hehe
