So I was diagnosed with clinical depression and my therapist was explaining to me that because this is a chemical imbalance that medication could possibly be a great option. I am really worried about doing that being that there are SO many side affects. Does anyone know natural ways to increase dopamine levels in the body?
- also are you for or against medication?

As in BASKETBALL.

Society wants people to believe that fat girls aren't beautiful.
that if you're too fat you'll die from obesity.
why doesn't society say anything about skinny anorexic models.
because beautiful is not just about how skinny you are its about the features you have that mane you Beautiful

Many people ask about whether they have or not the right BMI, but they don't know there is also an alternative.

To know if you have a healthy weight there are 3 formulas:

For females is (height in centimeters minus 45) divided in two.

For males under 170 cm (height in centimeters minus 40) divided in two.

For males 170 and above (height in centimeters minus 35) divided in two.

For example:

My height in cm is 174.

175-45=129
129/2=64.5

64.5 kg would be my ideal weight.

If you are 5 kg above or 5 kg below the ideal weight, don't worry, you're still inside the healthy range.

Continuing with my example, my weight can be between 59.5 kg and 69.5 kg. My current weight is 60 kg, so I'm still inside the range.



What about you, are you in the ideal range?

So today at the gym, I was called over by a guy at the gym and we talked quite a lot. At one point I tell him we can talk more often and he looks at me and says: "If you wouldn't be always wearing headphones." Is it really a thing, that headphones are a conversation block? I personally only listen to music because I don't like the music at the gym as much.

It stresses me out a lot when I eat only small amount of food but I feel really pleased when I see how much I weigh and my flat tummy.
I also feel so much pleasure when I eat what I love but feel really stressful when I see my stomach bloating.

Which should I choose?

Well I do work out as much as I can although I am pretty busy.

So I've recently gained about 25lbs. Going from 130 to 155 at 5'4. Husband keeps making the same rude comments about how if I keep eating I'm going to swell up, if I have a snackhe'll say what are you doing and he'll keep staring me down till I tell him I'm having a snack which I usually a yogurt or cheese or yea a cookie. Tonight after supper I had a few gram crackers he just looks at me asking me what do I think I'm doing. Yes I'm EATING I say. He'll pinch my fat and tell me that he doesn't know how much more weight I'm going to gain. Shit like that. Listen all of my life I've been too thin, to the point where mean people have accused me of having an eating disorder to being on drugs. Plus my health is terrible so I'm finally on meds that allow me to have an appetite so I can finally eat when I'm hungry. We've been together forever but I'm getting sick of his mean comments. He says he's just joking then got mad at me when I told him that hurts my feelings tonight. My question: is he actually joking or is he for real a jerk? What do y'all think?

Hello people, I have an issue:

After losing excessive weight/fat, I have noticed that I am no longer thirsty at all. I used to drink a lot of water in the past, even when I wasn't overweight. Now that my weight is normal again, I no longer crave it. Is there anything wrong with me? Should I pressure myself to drink it even though I don't want to?

The only thing I have changed in regards to my lifestyle is that now I work out and eat just a little less, but that still doesn't explain it.



Thanks
