hey all-
i really need a start-over. i had tried to be good and keep posting continuously about my days, exercise and so-forth hoping it would encourage me to do better each day. but since i was only posting to myself, i had no shame in posting my triggers and then i became too lazy to even do so. im gonna post my stats and some other stuff and just report my days onto shell's thread, since everyone else posts there too. you all will encourage me to do better!!
name-ashley
age-19
ibs type-C
how long-3 years
height-5'3"
weight-103.5
goal-sleek/slim 97
AM exercise-100 situps
-leg lifts 3 sets/12 each leg
-leg lifts 2 sets/10 each leg[for the bum!]
PM exercise-200 situps
-leg lifts 3 sets/12 each leg
-leg lifts 3 sets/10 each leg
at least one daily dog walk with 2 lb.weights
some yoga/pilates mixed
my diet is vegan-organic [no animal products--no preservatives/genetically modified ingredients] ill put a little <*> in front of all my foods to indicate vegan-organic b/c its too long to always type! hehe
well aside from that, thats pretty much it!! i am *always striving* to cure my ibs to the point of it being unnoticed b/c that is when i truly feel the best about myself. thank you all for reading thru my many scattered little posts and i am so excited to start really posting my days!! bye bye all!!!

Just a thought... I'm not trying to pick or anything, because we are totally all very different, but are you sure that 97 is a good goal weight for you? It's totally possible, if you have a very small frame and a slight build, which it sounds like you do, but I had to ask. 
I'm built a little more chunky... I'm 5'2", and at my worst with the anorexia, I was down to 105. I'm hovering around 125-130 now, and although I'd like to be a little thinner, I know in my heart that I'm a good, healthy weight for me right now.
Just thoughts, that's all... don't be offended or anything!
Your exercising sounds good! I need to do some of those leg lifts for the bum too, I think.  Looking forward to your reporting-in... I'm not vegan myself, but I get really tired of chicken and turkey, so I'm interested in seeing what you eat for dinner.

hey!
yah its a bit of a dip, i know, but the way i see it, i want to put myself back together the way i was before i had ibs. since ive been living with it, i feel like ive missed out on some normal girl things. i would buy these really cute shirts and fun jeans with belts or something, but b/c i was always bloated and C, i felt i could never wear them. and i hid in baggy pants and hoodies until finally, now i found a way to make the ibs managable.
i am most definately not affended so its alright. i never really talked about my issues with my weight b/c none of my friends were as small as i was and i felt selfish feeling self-conscious to them. really it was the ibs i was upset about but i didnt know much for it then and it was too embarrassing to say aloud. since i found this site, and found alot of supportive friends that share my same dilemma, ive felt alot safer talking aloud about my issues. its really helped finding people like yourself who went thru the same struggles as i did.
ill keep posting as much as i can! im always excited to check out the boards when i wake up and now ill have more to add!! thats cool that youre 5'2". from your pic i wouldve guessed maybe taller? has anyone ever told you you look like molly ringwald?!! b/c you totally do! ive recently gotten into cooking so if something onmy food list sounds good i can probably send you the recipe! talk to you later!!

Teeccino is a drink.  web page It's basically a coffee substitute, you brew it just like coffee, and it's *really* tasty. I drink waaaaay too much of the stuff. Heh.
I'm glad my comments didn't bother you! I used to get really irritated whenever anyone said anything about my weight... I still do sometimes. People are still telling me that I need to GAIN weight! Of course I think they're nuts.
And no, I've gotten some famous lookalikes, but Molly Ringwald is a new one. Thanks! I think pictures are deceiving, though. I wish I were really that cute all the time! Haha.

teechinos are so cute! i drink alot of tea--i want to make chai lattes or tea lattes somehow but i havent thought of a good enough recipe yet.
i hate it when people tell me to gain weight..or eat. alot of people i work with joke about it to me b/c i dont eat anything from my work, and i work at panera. they always say to eat a burger or to weigh my pockets down or something equally uncomfortable. i never have the right comeback. one customer i used to always wait on hadnt been in for awhile and when i took his and his wifes order, out loud he looked at me and said "my ashley have you gotten fat!" i was so upset that i cried in the bathroom for a little bit. he's old and senile so i know he was making a joke but old people humor sucks lol
in highschool i used to look SO much like avril lavigne that i started dressing like her and then people called me avril. lol

Sorry to butt in, but i was wondering about chai tea, Is it ok to drink the store-bought chai tea or would it be a trigger-food. Sorry, lol, I'm really bad about knowing what i can and can't eat. It's gonna take me FOREVER to get used to this!!!

no need to apologize im happy to answer your question! what brand of tea are you interested in?? iknow celestial seasonings makes chai teas and chai tea lattes but read over the ingredients. i know some have milk proteins in them. i was thinking myself how to make a chai latte using only safe ingredients?? i make chai tea mix @ my work [panera] all the time and the chai mix is basically an iced black tea with some honey and spices. that is mixed with milk and then steamed. im gonna try making some iced peppermint tea and adding agave [honey-sub for me] nectar and then steaming some soymilk and blending. YUM i hope it turns out okay!?? hehe--hope the sites go well for you!

Thanx! I think I'm going to try the store brand, I don't think i could put so much work into it, but I applaud your strictness in your diet! You sound like one of the healthiest people I've ever met! Lol, I wish that I was as healthy as you! I'm only fifteen, and both my parents work! It's really hard to control my diet! PLUS whenever I find something I REALLY like that's IBS-appropriate my brother's and sisters devour it in a snap!!!

i hate that!! i used to take citricel when i lived w/my parents and my dad went on this "healthy kick" i found out he had been using MY citricel which I really needed b/c HE overindulged a few times! he didnt even have any ibs problems--he just overate! i was so mad!
sometimes its hard to keep up with my diet but i try my very best. changing to a vegan diet has really helped. i hated looking thru all of the ingredients since there were always so many and then some additional ones that just didnt need to be in there. i still check food labels like crazy though but i dont have to expect preservatives or anything unnatural. my BF is also a vegan and we both like to cook so for us its really alot of trial-and-error for our tastebuds. and we both eat alot of the same things so shopping is easier when i lived w/both of my parents it was hard b/c my dad was more focused on healthy-thin rather then healthy-healthy. my mom is incredibly supportive of my new diet and helps me thru everything with my ibs. shes actually been helping me with it when i first began problems ironically at 15! if you ever have any ?s about food tips or recipes feel free to ask me! we have tons of vegetarian cookbooks and know alot of quick dishes by heart. also check out VeG.WeB they have alot of vegetarian/vegan recipes that are really easy and can be altered to your diet needs! it was wonderful talking to you!! looking forward to seein yah on the boards
