My findings..
Saturday, February 28th, 2009Just came back from Hui Yi’s advance bday celebration. Pretty interesting.. Cos went to Mustafa for the first time in my life. Quite interesting to find that there are really selling alot of things inside.. Its just like another carefour but cheaper according to Yi. Wanted to buy a perfume from there, but too bad couldnt find it in e end. So still have to trouble ducky to buy from airport.Heez..
We went to somewhere nearby for dinner. Ate a very interesting dish. I tink shd be call pan-fried bee hoon? Its normal beehoon with egg and other ingredients, but its crispy on top. Love the taste.. N some other dish like roasted chix, deep fried tofu etc all taste nice. Drooling now already. Must thanks yi for bringing us there and treat us to this nice dinner. After that we proceed to this place call Rochester to chill out. Din know this place exist, really a part time singaporean. Haha.. Its a place with very nice ambience. Basically they divided their place with different themes like living room, balcony, dining room etc. The decorations are cool. They adopt a more english kinda furnishing. Makes me feels like eating desset. *_*
This kinda romantic ambience place never fails to make me feel sleepy. Haha.. Luckily our group is good at entertaining each other with photography(with hp) and some lame jokes and story we created. After today, most of us have a new names le.. Hhmm.. Shall keep btw us.. Hahaha..
Next, the things that I wanna write may be a litle disturbing.
Just wanna write a little about my recent vomitting. Or mayb not only recently. Friends who often meet me for dinner will know that after meals i tend to rush to the toilet. Somehow the food just don get digested. I have seen doctors and also seek advice from some friends. One of my ex colleague is urging me to go for a gastro scan. She believes my prob comes from my gastric. But the scan sounds pretty scary de. I prefer to take Doc’s advice. Doctor told me its heartburn. Haha.. That means while eating, i tend to trap too much gas. So i went online to search for ways to prevent this. I do try to adopt some suggestions like eating slower, don talk while eating, avoid drinking gasssy drink, spicy food etc. Its improving now.
What bother me most is i tink becos of this, i’m experiencing some other changes in my body. Being a very kiasi person, evrtime i feel unwell, i will go online and check out the possible causes. And this time, i found myself having some symptoms of anorexia. Definately not psychologically bcos i’m trying my very best to curb myself from throwing up. Bu seems like my body don feel so. Like i’ve been dropping alot of hairs. Was just telling them i really need to consider go yunan or beijing le. Haiz.. My hands are dry. Not scalely, but rough. I have been applying hand cream in office but doesnt seems to help much. At nite i sometimes have difficulties getting to slp. Needs to read or watch tv to make me sleepy before i can slp. Occasionally will experience giddy spells.
Its scary to find so much similarities. Some symptoms could be due to other reasons, but i tink there might really be a link since similar as anorexia ppl, me too vomit after meals. Haiz…
Of cos i din have all symptoms la. Comes to think, if i only vomit occassionally to show the symptoms, i cant imagine e anorexia patients cos i suppose they vomit evr meal. Since i have already done some research on this for myself, so will just share what i find here.
As people who are suffering from anorexia wants to slim down as much in the shortest time, they will usually tend to use slimming pills, laxavative pills, vomitting or avoid eating. Just for reference, below are some symptoms i found online.
- Loss of menstrual periods
- Lack of energy and weakness
- Feeling cold all the time
- Dry, yellowish skin
- Dropping of hair
- Tooth decay
- Constipation and abdominal pain
- Restlessness and insomnia
- Dizziness, fainting, and headaches
- Growth of fine hair all over the body and face
E above is just physical symptoms. Having insufficient nutrients in the body will gradually affects them pychologically and emotionally too. This could be scarier cos it affects the patient in the long run or even whole life. They will start to be very mindful about body shapes. Keep feeling they are big size and must slim down alot. And it may even extend to ppl around them. Below is a link on this. Inside highlight about the difference between dieting and anorexia.

Many of them suffered this becos they feel powerless in their life, hence they want to find confident in something that they can control. It may also be a way of punishing themselves. As this could be fatal, therefore anyone who is suspected of being anorexia should visit a counsellor or doctor soon before its too late. Unfortunately, they will usually be in a denial mode, so many often have to depend on their family and friends to help.
Another reason i wanna write about the above is becos due to our hectic life nowadays, more and more ppl are experiencing it too. Personally i have heard of the same problem from some of my friends already.
Alot of times we are under great amount of stress and always feels dat time is not enough. Thats why we have prob like heartburn/indigestion bcos we couldnt let our body digest the food in peace. And when the stress does not get release, over some time it will turn to become a burden in the heart, and drove them to seek alternate ways to release their stress. Anorexia could be one of them. Many times, alot of these are the work of vicious cycle.
So friends, please learn to relax and destress at times ya. Love yourself and your family. Seek help when there is a need. I believe there are always ppl who cares and ready to help. =)
Enjoy life friends!!
