I was just asking if anyone was interested in knowing how I lost weight, and if they wanted some advice. I am not selling anything, I just don't want anyone to go through the pain that I've experienced.

I'd double check the TOS, read my question again and see if anything feel under what they would deam a violation.  If you don't think it did, or you were misinterpreted, you can always e-mail the answers team y_answrs_team@yahoo.com and ask they about it personally.  They may not be able to repost the question, but they'd let you ask it again since they know its a misunderstanding.  Perhaps it was a particular wording you used and they can help you to word that part better.\n\nI've delt with them several times and they always get back to me within a day or two on my question and are in general really nice and fun to work with.

I don't let people know the "real" me very often. I let them know hints of it, but I really don't think that anyone would like to know very much about my itty bitty life. If asked I will be completely truthful, but it isn't always easy to offer up information.

I'm tired of people condescendingly saying all you have to do is eat less and exercise. Yes, that may work for YOU, but does NOT work for everyone. I tried everything (yes, including regular exercise!) and finally had to stop taking a prescription that I knew was preventing weight loss (I always research meds before taking them). I knew my thyroid was low but it was not low enough to treat medically so I got no help there. Finally my GP gave me phentermine and I have lost 42-43 pounds in a year. It is not a magic pill. You still have to eat less and exercise, but it makes those two things effective. In the long run you do have to develop healthier habits.  And stay away from soy. It suppresses your thyroid, which controls your metabolism.

Hey, \nI struggled with anorexia for 6 years, and im still not 100 percent happy with the way i look, but im learning 2 b happy with myself, but wanting 2 lose weight thru anorexia is NOT a good idea, u do soooo much damage 2 ur insides, not only that but it hurts ur loved ones, can u imagine what starving urself for days, even weeks, years can do, i was at a low weight, 88 lbs, and i could of suffered a heart attack, this probably doesnt mean nething 2 u, but what i am trying 2 get out is, \nur beautiful no matter what u look like, inside AND out, and it shouldnt matter what neone else thinks, they r probably really insecure with themselves, sorrie 4 rambling, main point: Anorexia is not a diet 2 control ur weight, its a disease that affects u, and its very hard 2 give up/get help 4, so please, its not the way 2 go hunnie.\nI hope this helps a little.

Gosh I feel bad for you...sounds like a hardcore case of depression.  It's so easy for other people to just tell you to seek therapy, isn't it?  I have lifelong bipolar disorder, so I know how it feels to have been down in the depths of depression...thankfully for me, I eventually snap out of it and go into "happy" mode.  In my experience, talking to a therapist has not helped.  They ask me a million questions, write them all down and make me feel like a science project, give me a prescription, and send me on my way -- all for $175 for a 30 minute appointment.  I have found that when there is a constant vague feeling of depression for seemingly no reason, it is because I have suppressed that reason.  Identify the sources of your unhappiness.  For me, I finally realized that it was about three different instances in my past that had changed my mindset or my innocence in some way -- made me jaded to the world.  I'm still working on it, but I'm hoping to confront and forgive or be forgiven by the people involved.  And yeah, I've had my heart broken and I still have feelings years later, so it's perfectly normal.  If you have self-esteem issues, work on something that you enjoy and that you are good at -- don't worry if you fail at first, practice makes perfect.  Help others or be a friend.  It's almost impossible to feel low about yourself if you know you are good at something or worth something to someone.  If your self-esteem is in the dumps because you are worried about what people think of you, then don't be.  Look at people who are stupid and unattractive and have confidence -- if they have it, then why shouldn't you?  Basically, you need to recognize meaning in your life.  It's already there, you just need to find it.  All right, enough Dr. Phil crap from me.  Good luck and bless you.

judging by some of the questions that get asked, lots of people do exactly that. I'd say it is certainly harmless, and better than trying to just be rude or inflammatory for the heck of it, because you can hide behind the anonymity here.  I think I might be worse even because I am becoming kind of a "point hog" and now that they are taking away 5 points instead of two for asking a question, I am asking very few.  So good for you, you keep the system going, you don't hurt anybody, and you just let me get 2 points. Thanks.

The reason I told you to delete it,because it violates Y!A's guidelines, as posting chat requests are not allowed,and many of the users here are willing to report it as abuse to the guidelines,you may ask as many questions as you want, here are some tips:\n1- How can I maintain a healthy diet? -Health Category-\n2- How many calories in a chocolate bar? - Food Category-\n3- Can you give me some tips on how to discipline my child? - Family and relationships category-\n\nIf you wish to ask a question about chatting, you can rephrase your answer instead of : anyone up for chat, as you have posted Earlier to be for example: where can I find chatting rooms/sites online?\nGood luck.

Having anorexia doesn't really concern yourself with other peoples weight, its denying your real weight. Its not feeling good about yourself for reasons that may be known to you or not. Sometimes people bother me when I watch them eat only because I can't see how people can eat anymore than I did, next to nothing, and be okay with themselves. I have been recovering fro anorexia for 5 years now and remember the feelings well. My weight was the issue with me not any other persons.

I do Xango.  I tell people about it only when I hear that they have a health ailment.  If they don't ask for more info, I leave it alone.  I am NOT pushy.  It can help so many things it sells itself.  I don't need to push it.  People try it once and just keep ordering, and sometimes they start to sell it too and I make money from their sales.  It is pretty lucrative, especially when they sign up someone else.  There really is nothing wrong with MLM, it seems to work - the @sses leave it alone after they have bugged to many of their family and friends without sellling anything, but the good ones just keep quietly chugging along....

I lost 40 and I don't care where it went as long as it never comes back!\n\nEdit: No secret.  I've gone to a low-carb lifestyle.  I'm healthier, my aches and pains are gone, my carpal tunnel is gone, my plantar fascitis is gone, and I'm still losing weight (halfway to goal).

While I see your point that its harder to find people like this, I can still empathize for people.  I have been hurt alot, starting at five when my dad walked out, and i just dont want to see others hurt like i have been hurt.  I go out of my way to make sure i never hurt anyone.  And i often find that people are more than willing to take advantage of that.  It makes you sad to know that no one looks out for other people anymore, and its all about themselves.  This is definetly not me-i would go without to make someone happy, and if i see someone in pain i will do whatever i can to stop that pain.  I got a forward from someone about the perfect heart that i think you would really appreciate.  I would tell you, but it might be a little long-I know this might seem weird, but if you wanna email me at wyzeone2000@yahoo.com, ill find it and send it to you.

I would, and plan on it in the near future. I'm 48, but was over 325 pounds at age 42.  I changed how I ate, and concentrated on veggies, protiens, dairy and low-sugar fruits.  I got rid of processed sugars, starches, and those things that kept my metabolic rate low.  I've lost over 170 lbs. in the past 5 years, and since I had already had my children, and my skin was so stretched, it didn't shrink back the way a younger woman's would.  So...I have skin that needs to be removed, and I've lost a lot of the fullness in my breasts.  So yes, I would but because this is something I need, and want, to make ME feel good about myself! :)

The best response, is to say nothing a bout either. If you tell someone "you have lost weight, you look great", It implies that before weight loss they were fat and did not look good. If some one has put on weight, you don't need to inform them, they probably know,If they complain a bout weight, just say "really?, I hadn't noticed, I think you look nice.

good for you.  I thinks it's the best way to go.  People can always know they could get a staight answer out of you, not a lie.  Keep up he good work.

Don't worry about losing weight. How about losing those a**shole "friends.

I am sorry that that happened to you. YOu just need to understand that when you post your questions / comments on here we can't tell what form you are saying them in. So some people may read them as harrassment while others look at them as someone in alot of pain reaching out for help. If you do need help this is a place in which you can get some, but also remember that people are mean. And some of them may make comments that hurt your feelings just for the sake of being an a$$. That is really good that you are seeing a therapist and feeling and doing better with everything. If you ever need a friend to talk to you can email me at any time. I suffer from anxiety and I am on Lexapro for 6 weeks now. I love it and feel great. So I guess I kind of know where you are comming from.

I would lean more toward "real" healthier products.  I would not purchase Weight loss products ESPECIALLY on line.
