?

I’m only 24 years old but for a few years I’ve experienced increasingly bad water retention and swelling in my legs. I can feel it worse than it looks but it’s gotten worse and worse every month and if I wear my crew socks I wore without a problem a few years back I get marks on my legs (like it’s too tight).

Anyways I elevate when I can but I just don’t understand how it’s gotten so bad at this point in my life. If anything, it should’ve been a problem when I was binging on unhealthy foods everyday, downing the diet soda and energy drinks, and wreaking havoc on my body whilst in the worst of my bulimia... but that point was years ago! And during that time my body actually looked and was functioning the best. (???!!!?!?!?!?!)

By no means am I going to relapse my bulimia just to fix my edema-like symptoms... but I would appreciate some help as to why this is happening at such a young age, what I can do to fix it, and if anyone else deals with it, too?

Thanks!

My Mom and I share her Target RedCard Visa. I am in college and use it here for stuff I may need and she uses it at home for whatever. When she gets the billing in the mail each month it will show my total, but will it show exactly what I buy? Is there a thing online that would show exactly what I buy? Or is it just a total of money spent or total spent at certain dates, but not each specific item?

I like books with a lot of action and excitement and stuff going on, not romance-lovey-dovey stuff. I like suspense and mystery and unpredictable things. Any recommenadations?

This entire week my eyes have itched really bad (especially in m left eye towards to red part closest to the nose) and hurt when I blink and always burn... They have gotten sort of bloodshot and I keep itching but I am trying not too. Also, I am using eye dros and taking clariton but it is only cooling right when I put them in. My Mom says it is allergies and not pink eye. It was windy last weekend when it started, but I literally was never outside to get anything i them. Please help, it bothers me constantly and I have the ACT tomorrow... :(

What is your favorite healthiest recipe? Anything from healthiest side dish to healthiest dessert to healthiest recipe overall.

Do you think- or know- if it would work if I made cookies using a bag of the Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix and a can of pumpkin (and, if needed, water)? Do you have any suggested ratio?

I love free stuff and I want to be able to get free stuff or coupons for free stuff at stores without having to become a member of sketchy websites or give out my home address. Do you know any ways I can get free stuff other than those ways? I am talking clothing, makeup samples, groceries, anything!

I am a 17 year old girl with brown hair, brown eyes, and tan ski. I really like delia's clothes and I am going shopping there tomorrow. Would you please design me some outfits from there? They don't have to be 100% delia's clothes/ accessories/ shoes/ etc. but mainly from there. Please include a full outfit with accessories, shoes, bag, jewelery, etc. Thanks so much! Feel free to do multiple outfits, too! (...that will also help decide best answer...)

It would be great if you could make me some outfits... now that we have lovely spring weather I am excited to dress cute! I am going shopping this weekend with my friend and I am excited so some cool outfit ideas would be great! I am 17 and like to shop at places like delia's, kohl's, etc. I really don't have any specific store- I buy from all over the place. My style would be considered cute, conservative, and comfy I suppose... I'm not to picky- I'm just excited and happy. :) Thanks so much! Oh, I have brown hair, brown eyes, and my skin is light tan... so what colors look nice on me? Thanks again! :)

I am 16 with brown hair, brown eyes, and tan-skinned. I am not sure how to describe my style... I like to shop at Delia*s, Aeropostale, American Eagle, A'gaci, PacSun, Old Navy, Target, etc. I am very open to any outfits- just no heels, no super-skinny jeans or jeggings (skinny jeans are ok, but not super-skinnies)... It would be really nice if you included the entire outfit with bag, jewelery, any other accessories, etc. Thanks so much! This can be for any occasion you would prefer to make it for (school, fancy, anything you want) and feel free to make multiples! Please attach links to websites, use polyvore, or write a good description. Thanks so much! :)

Can you give me your favorite recipe? Title and complete recipe with instructions, please! It does not have to be an original recipe from your personal kitchen; you can get it from a book/ website/ etc.--- or it can be an original!!! It can be anything (and if you want to give me multiples feel free!) Thanks! :)

***You can attach the link to the recipe if it is from a website.

I gained a lot of weight lately and I don't feel like myself and none of my clothes fit me anymore.. I am really depressed all of the time but I have a hard time having self-control and will power. I always eat a ton and especially when I'm alone. I am not hungry when I binge. I feel like I'm addicted to food and I am 15 and want to [re]learn healthy habits before I go to college. I want to lose 15-20 lbs by april, 9th this year. Please give me tips or plans. Thanks so much! :D

P.S. I am on my school's (girl's) varsity cross country/ track teams so I run at least 6 days a week and don't slack off, I work hard in practice. Should I add my own strength training or extra exercises on my own, it's 98% eating that's making me gain weight and not lose weight (including no will power/ stuff along those lines) but I don't thonk more exercise would hurt.

I really want to lose weight because I feel out of character and depressed, and it would just make my life easier if I could do this. It is hard to explain how much stress it causes me. :(

Links/polyvore would be best! (if not then please do a very detailed description of an outfit!)

On my Christmas list i wrote "clothes" and "running clothes", but my Mom wants me to be more specific. I really don't know exactly what I want- any good ideas? Links would be great! :D Thanks!
