Is it okay to eat more during your period?
Q. I am on the 3rd day of my period and I have been having a major increase in my appetite! And I learned when I was young that you eat when you are hungry, but I feel like I shouldn't be eating this much and my body is fooling me. I am not binge eating, but there has been a definite increase in my food consumption. Is it okay for me to eat more during my period or do I need to try to eat less?
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. Yeah, of course it is. Everyone does it!
My parents think that they are helping me by hide food from me?
Q. I have been bulimic for a few years and consequently engage in periods of binge eating followed by purging.
My parents have noticed that i binge eat and recently, my psych told them about my eating disorder.
Now they are beginning to hide food from me with the purpose of preventing me from binge eating.
This is making me extremely anxious because to me, it feels like they;re saying, "you don't need food, you're too fat"
Do you think that hiding food from me is the wrong thing for them to do?

A. well, the fact that they make you feel bad means that their method is not working properly. There are better ways to help you. Perhaps storing healthier foods like fruits and healthy carbs instead of junk food would work, i mean, if you binge on fruits and fiber you'll look prettier and stay healthier even. And to add to that, you, as a family can do something athletic so that instead of watching your diet meticulously you can burn calories.
