ok my lovely TE friends...i got another thread for you to ponder on!

I am 19. i weigh in at 103-105 lbs. I used to weigh about 115, then i got my bike =) i ride 3x a week for about an hour each...and on saturdays about 3 hours. i like my weight at 103-105. i look decently athletic and not too skinny either! If i gain some weight, makes me think less of my appearance.

Since i got my bike, my periods have been really messed up. I was having 2 periods a month....tons of hair loss, always cold, moodswings, getting sick before my periods..etc.

So my doc tested me for thyroid (i'm all good there!) so she put me on birthcontrol. YIKES! I have been taking it for three weeks and either i gained 4 lbs from it, or i gained 4 lbs from water weight from my period.

I concern myself with food quite a bit. i want to learn to eat and be healthy, but also not become a freak that doesn't ever live a little. when my family orders pizza, i stick to the salad bar. If my mom makes beef speg. with tons of grease, i make a turkey burger.
Breakfast: 300 calories
Lunch-500 calories
Dinner-600 calories

thats about how my day goes. and the meals aren't fatty or anything. I'm lactose intolerant and i have IBS so that means no cheese and no fried foods.


my question is..where do i draw the line? with this birthcontrol, i want to eat more...but i dont want to gain that weight so i have been ingoring the cravings...Tell me its ok to eat some pizza (no chz with my family every now and then....tell me its gonna be ok if i have a peice of cake for my sisters birthday party!

thanks girls!!!!!

So there is a little bit of my background.
