I have numerous days like yours, Tinkerbelle where just getting 1000 calories is a challenge. I just can't tummy a lot at once and hate feeling too full and get full pretty quickly and forget to snack or am too stressed out to nibble and then even less hungry and rice and something is a prominant feature or potatoes and something. It's worse because I am young and single and don't really devote a whole heck of a long time to cooking and could care less about baking--it's a nice idea but I think I got over my "easy bake oven days" when I was six! I'm also beyond picky too. I also think skinny skinny bonerack is gross and feel crappy without enough energy to be a domestic hyper-type. I don't know what to tell you. Eat in stages? Eat some rice? Then later eat some carrots or what ever and then eat something else? Let it digest a little before adding more? That's what I do. Still, though, it's hard for me to chart a thousand calories. It's terrible, though, isn't it? Personally, I don't have a big sweet tooth and baked things really nauseate me.

Wind we are so much alike! I totally think that volumptious pin-up women are the hottest type of women, and I'm usually a fairly rounder petite woman (big boobs and a little belly normally), but now I look like a stick with boobs! I'm 5'2 and around 90 lbs right now, usually 105-110. It's so frustrating because when I look in the mirror I think I look so ugly, like some anorexic soap opera actress, and it makes me hate myself more. It's horribly sad but right now I really don't like myself, because I feel so depressed and like I'm letting my body and mind get the best of me- which makes me feel so weak. I'm usually confident and outgoing and fairly high energy, so you can imagine this weak little waif feels so alien when I see her in the mirror...
In any case, yeah it's crazy when just eating 1000 calories makes you feel so full! I get really motivated sometimes by people telling me to just eat a lot, and I start pigging out, which a few days later I poop out and then am back to square one. This poor tummy is sure getting a workout these days!
Yeah I adore baked goods, but they make me feel terribly. Growing up I always ate pizza, crossants, fried chicken, choc chip cookies, etc... but at a certain age they started to make me feel so gross, so I cut them out and started eating healthy. But food has NEVER made me feel really good. I just wonder what food allergies I have and am unaware of.
I just found out that IBS runs in BOTH sides of my Jewish family! Of corse I would get it then! But my dad and bro are so lucky, they don't have it at all. My mom, grandma and I sure do!
People on this board seem to say that D is easier to control than C... I wonder if that's true? It seems that most people that use this board have more severe cases of IBS, as the ones who have probably found relief probably don't come back much to post on these boards. I really hope I find relief soon! And I'm glad to hear that you don't let it get you down as often as you used to, that's very hopeful. I guess you just get used to things like this after awhile... you'd have to, or else live your life totally miserable. This is all so new for me so I just feel like a little baby who wants to cry until it goes away. It's horrible because everyone who loves me wants to help so badly, but they cannot. It must feel so sad for them to see me like this, crying so much. I don't want anyone to see me, however, being alone makes it worse. Depression is crazy, it's never never hit me like this before.

I'm sorry your day had to start out so rough! Aargh! I agree with Linz's recommendation to take 1 Immodium in the morning. I think it's a really helpful med to use regularly, even daily, when you're starting to get stable.
I hope you're feeling better this evening and eating both frequently and carefully.

Thanks Maria!
I did take an Immodium this morning and I haven't gone since, although I've had lots of gurgles and gas and a hard time eating!

If it's any consolation, I'm alternating but tend toward C, and am currently working on LOSING a ton of weight. I am presently 183 lbs and the same height as you. I used to be 110. i remember those days well too, and that's my goal too!
So here's to you and me meeting at 110!
By the way, I far prefer my D days to my C days. Don't know why-I guess being empty feels way better than being relaly really stuffed.

Yes, I totally agree about that anorectic soap opera actress look in the mirror! I totally understand that feeling of being stuffed, really FULL on 1000 calories a day. I totally agree that boneracks are gross! I hate being all knobs. Heck, if I were a chicken I'd be terrible eating, something you'd have to redeem with a spicy sauce and a pitcher of beer at a sports bar.
I'm being absurd. I have a suggestion as you seem to like baked treats. It would also up the calories very safely and pleasantly and get you back the vibrant voluptous radiance you formerly owned. Investigate some of Heather's recipes or those on the message board and BAKE SOMETHING. It's rather fun, I confess. Even I at thirty love and need to have one of those "Easy Bake" oven relived experiences! Although, I'm more a "Surreal Gourmet" type! Very saucey, you know! Make one of the breads or some muffins or something! You'll have a blast and some safe snacks too and the smell of something yummy and safe for your tummy perfuming the air. Yes, Tinkerbelle...I think you need to play Betty Crocker for an afternoon. TREAT yourself like a princess, a queen, somebody very special and important to safe and extra especially homemade treats. Whenever I make something my inner child has a field day, I'm distracted and
it's like my whole being is just playing. I'm not just talking about messing up the kitchen or stinking up the house. Get crafty. Sometimes, I get in such a
funk that all I can do is crank up the music and set a new mood with new music, rhythms and tunes and do something with my hands, i.e. crochet, knit, embroider, pottery etc. It will get you out of a gloomy mood, one of those it's sunny outside but something inside of me is stopping me from going out to play moods.
