clean eating help

I do hope that you have a support network. Fellowship can help build an appetite. Reach out. Help someone that is just thinking of getting clean or very early in their sobriety. I would bet you will find an appetite. congrats!

we come here for the help and support of people who really care and when the people they (or we) help are successful we are naturally going to be very happy for them...There are many to this very day (some 2 years later {with a minor set back} ) I wish I could hug and hug and hug...

I'm so worried about the foods I eat every day. I can't help but to wonder if whatever food Im eating is safe. Its driving me nuts cause I'm constantly looking up what's good and bad.

Thank you!

I wish I had advice for you on the other subject though.It is great that you exercise.Maybe a therapist could help with the eating thing.Again that is awesome that you are clean 85 days!!

Instead of eating, I would clean. I still do that, I feel starving but clean the house instead then I feel worthy of a snack. I'm 22 now, could I have an eating disorder now instead of the less severe disordered eating? Should I seek help again?

I then forced myself to start eating a small lunch but was still eating huge dinners. After a while the new healthy diet started working and I obtained more energy. I used that new energy to push me to work out harder. I am still working on it but a healthy body makes a healthy mind. By the way Congratulations on 2 weeks clean, I am going to cheat and eat a doughnut in celebration of your accomplishment.

I am still on the search for a therapist because I know I need help. If you can share some tips or supplements that can help with extreme low mood and depression, I would greatly appreciate it. I take 30 mg of cymbalta once a day. That is definitely not working! I can't wait for my brain to heal. I know it takes time but this depression is kicking my ***!

Subway is amazing are u aloud to eat peanuts then?

ve been going to medical check-up at a pharmacy nearby just this year(about 2 times only) though they just gave me some gastric medicine. Also everytime I think about eating i feel like vomiting. I also tend to scratch a lot. And also feel light headed and headache. I can't really visit any doctor since my mother just dismiss it as 'me not eating regularly'. And before you ask yes I'm under 18. I hope you guys could atleast tell me what I might be having.

My favorite things to snack on are pretzels with hummus, grapes, popcorn, pineapple chunks, deviled eggs, and then chicken noodle soup is always nice. (You can even get can pineapple and put it in the freezer for an hour or so.. frozen pineapple is delicious!) tuna with crackers, etc.. Do you cook? You should look on pinterest for healthy food/snack ideas. I dealt with bulimia 7years ago and always hated the shame that came with it.. I feel for you and pray you get control of it. For me..

Oh and how could I forget...Congrats on your clean time!!!!!!

Rather than focus on trying to stop the behavior, focus on gradually changing the pattern of her bowel movements. Have her sit on the potty prior to bedtime, and you can have her drink a cup (don't overdo it) of warn water - this may help to stimulate the bowel movement. Do not get in the habit of giving her laxatives to promote the bowel movements, though. That would be a mistake.

You all know me here....i have been clean for 217 days off a 6 year 120 mg hydro monkey Last week was pretty brutal for me.....BUT some things have happned since where i am less stressed (good things) Im still clean and staying that way......here is my only problem I am 5'9 good looking guy....the day i quit i was 155lbs.......I NOW WIGH 207LBS!!!! I smoked for 17 years (pack a day marlb lights) i ALSO quit smoking same day as hydros.... I CANT TAKE THIS WEIGHT!

Diet pills never work. Most of them are filled with caffeine (as much as 4 cups of coffee). Only clean eating and regular exercise can assist with losing weight. I personally use the Lose It! app and try to work out at least 3-5 times a week (30-60 mins). I have lost about 40lbs so far and still counting. Don't fret, you can do it! I hope this helps.

Use normal soap and water (warm or cold) to wash your hands thoroughly. You will know when your hands are thoroughly cleaned when you do not feel any "slime". Apparently semen contains Vitamin E which is good for the skin. Normal washing is fine, so don't stress yourself or get paranoid over this. You do not need to keep washing your hands all day. It is good hygiene to wash your hands after using the toilet and before eating food.

Yeah, I'll take the junk food eating over drug eating any day! I'm glad you're moving past those cravings, and I say, celebrate with another scoop of ice cream.. I'll have mint chocolate chip or coffee flavored with chips..please. ...and don't be shy with the whipped cream either!

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this on, but here goes. I am a recovering drug/alcohol addict with 40 clean days behind me. Problem is, I think I've replaced the drugs with food. I am very depressed and seem to eat all of the time, way beyond being full. I never consumed so much food all at one time before. I'ts taking a toll on my health, not to mention the weight gain =( Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

You can talk to your doctor about it if concerned. Some women's bodies naturally clean themselves out before labor but you are not close yet. Is it possible it's maybe just something you've been eating?

Everything seems to be a little bit better. Still bad stomach cramps and a bad headache today. Still problems sleeping and eating....forcing myself to eat at least once a day. The cravings are still bad but I'm hoping the physical part will end soon. I know the mental side will probably last a while longer.

You should let your doctor know and they should only swab you. But in the mean time continue to keep clean and dry and try eating yogurt.

Just want to let you guys know there is a great Substance Abuse forum on MH with some good help in getting clean and ideas from folks going through similar..

Those things bloat you up, and are just empty calories. Try drinking as much water as you can every day, as it can help clean out your body.

Hi Thomas , then there just spots, we all get them as we grow older, theres not much you can do about them but just live with, but as a help you copuld just cut back on fattie foods try eating more fruit and veg, cut out any fizzy drinks, sweets, cakes, and biscuits, take fast foods and junk foods out of your life, yes boring but it will clean your system out, try taking some cayenne, I take it mixed in tomato paste thinned down with olive oil to a heat that suits you, try taken 3 small spoonful

Hey everyone. 18 days here. :) I was starting to feel better, except I'm not eating. I've lost about 20 lb. it wasn't this bad n the beginning. Now I'm exhausted and my stomach feels like its eating itself. I'm scared for my health. I try eating I just can't. I get nauseous. I have no appetite. I can go a day or two without anything. Is this normal? I thought I would eat more... My anxiety it pretty bad also. I'm having a rough time sleeping. I take melatonin.

Yes, that's most likely why. If you're not hungry, you must force yourself to eat something. Good nutrition and exercise are very important in controlling anxiety. Also, do you drink any of those sugary caffeine drinks? That is the worst thing you could do if you are. I say this because I know alot of kids drink those these days. Very very bad for anxiety. I want you to eat some lunch right now. If you're not very hungry then eat some fruit or some soup....something light.
