Bodies: Group 1

How many of you have every gone on a diet?  Any thing crazy, exciting, fun or just plain weird?  I'm currently on a green juice diet, which involve a lot of kale, spinach, apples, carrots, cucumber, celery and a really big juicer to squeeze it all up.  

Please share your stories.  Here's a link to the site and movie entitled "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead."

  1. I've been meaning to watch this movie! Thanks for sharing a link to it :D

    I haven't been on a "diet" per say, but I have struggled with anorexia for the past decade or so. Recovery from this requires me to go on a diet to GAIN weight...or eat regularly, so to speak. It's hard for me to eat more than two meals a day, for example. I've got to keep pushing myself every day, otherwise, if I skip just one meal, I take a huge step backward and lose a lot of the progress I've made. It's frustrating, to say the least.
