I can’t stop thinking about food and dieting!! So much so that I evaluate everything I eat. I judge every meal, every bite, how every peice of clothing fits, every craving I have. I know how it all started. In adolescence I was heavy into dance but I am not a waif. I am more althletically...

Hi Purist. All great advise for how it helped some people but I can’t get over your last sentence that says your jealous for others. I had a big problem in the beginning thinking I wasn’t doing it right because my pain wouldn’t go away. Somehow on this site I read that I was judging my pain...

Oh man... I always have the same delima. Mine is/was migraines. I’d hate to cancel on people too. I’d feel tremendous guilt. There is no right answer. I do know that I would sabatage myself with worry and bring on a headache. This was more about self esteem and previous problems I’d had with my...

So amazing! I’m really happy for you. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your story. I really relate to the part about being hard on yourself and the pressure about looks and weight. My dad used to correct my eating and tell me I was fat all the time. I wanted to be a dancer. I was very good at it and very determined but in the end quit because...

Hi Nicole, I do have meds I take as needed just so I don't have to think about it. I had a test done and they confirmed it was only gastritis.

Just bumping this up in case anyone out there has any advise. TIA.

Hi All, I've got a secondary imperative situation going on. Migraines are pretty much gone but as soon as they were out the door gastritis kicked in. This was a year ago. For a while I had to deal with both but now I feel like gastritis is in the front seat and migraines are in the rear view...

Super cool!

Hmm it's so crazy how so many people with migraines also have stomach issues. It's all tension and pressure. Does your stomach still hurt? I don't want to fill your head with any ideas if you're doing better.

When you had a cold did you take a bunch of cold medicine? That makes my stomach burn the next day. Sometimes it hurts right away. Sometimes the next day. It helps to take it with food.

I forgot where I read it but I remember this helped. When you're laying in bed in pain or feeling emotions.. imagine that either yourself or someone is petting your hair and saying nice/soothing things. You can even image yourself as a child and that you are soothing yourself as a child.

Yeah, you're so right. It's sad but true.
