MAJOR PROBLEMS

by: ricekakes - September 3rd, 2008

Okay so I posted last about post competition blues and now I have even greater problems, I have lost my appetite. For most women it does not sound so bad, for me I am so scared of losing all the muscle I have worked so hard to gain. I just hate food. I literally drink maybe 2 protein shakes a day, an apple, some ricecakes and that is about it, REALLY BAD! I am obviously weak at the gym and feeling like poop! My fiance is in off season (super heavy) and I cook all his food. So in my house there are ready made meals that I prepare with turkey breast, chicken, pasta, sweet potatoes, etc. All cooked healthy and right there for me to eat but I just can't eat it. I was always hungry and looking at the clock for 3 hours to pass so I could eat again. Does anyone have any suggestions or experienced this?

This is a new one for me....I do wish I had a bit of that feeling after a show but I haven't (all i wanna do is eat everything!) so all I can say is you're going to just have to slowly force yourself! Just think of every meal you skip like you said...losing that hard earned muscle.

When I was a teen I ate a three musketeer bar for breakfast every morning. I had a loaded salad for lunch and afterwards did not eat anything else because I just wasn't hungry. After a while my sister noticed I was looking pretty thin and became worried that I wasn't eating so she took me out for lunch. I loaded up my plate with the usual lettuce, tomatoe, ham or turkey, cucumbers, pickled beets, mushrooms, hardboiled egg, thousand island dressing and topped it with crushed crackers. Pretty balanced, right. Meat, Veggies, dairy, bread. I was eating healty and smart.

After a few weeks of eating like this I became very sick. Every time I ate anything I would get diarrhea. Went to the doctor to find out that I was becoming anorexic. Who me, yeah right!! I had never been overweight and never worried about my weight. I just wasn't hungry. He put me on a soup diet at first, then I got to add baked potatoes and then later meat when my stomach could handle it again. My stomach really hurt at first beacause I had shrank it from not being able to hold on to the food longer.

You may want to see a doctor if your symptoms continue. Be sure to eat every couple of hours and force yourself if you have too. Stay healthy and fit. You are worth it!!
