Re: Xtreme eating

I believe it. I gained a lot of weight right when all these symptoms started, I was a tiny kid and teen. I really don't think it has anything to do with what I eat because I don't eat a lot. I don't eat as much as my 7 yr old child does.
This is what I ate today for example:
egg beaters and coffee for breakfast
peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat and some cauliflower for lunch
can of chef boy are dee a little while ago
Thats it. Some days I eat less because I am not hungry during the day. I get more hungry at night, but I have been trying to not eat at night.
I drink water all day, and once in a while a diet Dr. Pepper. WHY am I not losing weight?? That is about 1000 calories up there for a whole day. Supposedly that is not even enough to support someone half my size.
