Re: Should I Go To The E.r

I'd wait a bit. If dizziness and confusion are your only concerns, its a sugar rush and you are will be fine in a bit. You may also experience some gasterointestinal stuff, that's normal too. I would be more concerned about why you ate the whole thing...but that's just me. Physically, I think you'll be fine shortly.

Hugs
Denise

Re: Should I Go To The E.r

I would recommend seeing your Dr. however about your weight if you are concerned. Eating ice cream and sugar is not the best way to put on weight...I'd seek the advice of a dr. if you are not able to do so yourself by eating healthy high calorie foods.

Re: Should I Go To The E.r

I'm sorry, I can't read a post like this - anything that says he likes to watch you eat, so he brought you a whole cake, within the first line just sets off triggers of feeders and various other things. If you are concerned that he poisoned you, one would have to ask if you're sure you should be marrying him. BTW, are you 5'8" (per siggie) or 5'9" (per post). Also, you are obviously not concerned about your health if you think this is the way to gain weight. Best of luck.

Re: Should I Go To The E.r

I'm going to move this to the Health Chat forum as I think it's better suited there.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions . But , the above comment is EXTREMELY rude, inconsiderate , assumptive and judgemental. He likes watching me eat simply for the fact that I look like a stick at the moment and he , to his ability, thinks he's helping me out with food. Little does he know, that that is not the answer. I am 5"8 and a half. Take it at 5'8 or 5'9, whichever way you wish to round up or down. I AM concerned about my health. So concerned that I went on Atkins after I didn't even need to lose weight at 130 lbs. I was doing it purely for health purposes because carbs give my a variety of negative symptoms. The poisoning comment was simply a sarcastic joke. Do you think I would sit around on the computer and ask for suggestions if I thought I was being poisoned or had the symptoms of poisoning?!??! I'm in med school and I know the obvious internal and external signs of various types of poisoning. I just posted here to see if anyone thought my hypoglycemic reaction was a cause of concern.... I am eating lots of carbs , even junk now, because it has been VERY difficult for me to go over 115 lbs and I need these carbs to maintain this. If I were to do Atkins now, I would drop to god knows 97 lbs (it's happened before). Even my doctor suggested I eat high carbs, ice cream and such to not lose anymore weight until they figure out why I am so skeletal. I am very healthy. I run everyday and do weight resistance . I plan to return to Atkins as soon as this weight issue of my is resolved. PErhaps I am experiencing a temporary metabolic crisis at the moment, which is hereditary. PLEASE DONT ASSUME ANYTHING BASED ON ONE SIMPLE QUESTION. Would you like me to assume that , based on your weight, you ate ding dongs? Please...

Re: Should I Go To The E.r

In reading the original post that you made, it did sound as though you were concerned that your bf might have poisoned you. I understand that you were making a joke, however members really care about you and in order to give advice they can only do so with the information that is provided for them. To eliminate confusion in future posts, please indicate that you are being witty with a (jk) afterwards to indicate it was a joke, or a (ha) so that your comments won't be taken seriously.

dreams comment about j/k...............
that would be very helpful, gazaleh. i read it through a couple of times and you are a relatively new poster at 53 posts at this time. i wasn't quite sure what to make the poison comment. i trust that is now an issue that we don't need to worry about.

i would like to know are you feeling better now that some time has passed? and also did you tell the dear bf to try some other kind of treat next time he want to bring you something, like some fruit?

Re: Should I Go To The E.r

Do NOT even TALK to me about DAIRY QUEEN ICE CREAM CAKES, they are THE DEVIL, the DEVIL I tell you. (she hides weeping in the corner)

Starmakers one weakness (sigh)

Re: Should I Go To The E.r

I am feeling great! Thanks for the concern. I understand the misunderstanding of the poison comment, but could you explain to me why she assumed by dear fiancee is a feeder and how I don't pay attention to my health based on one statement and incident? FEEDER?!!? Actually, I really don't care at this point. I am just taken aback by how assumptive, attacking and rude some people can get on this site. Most are simply the best but there have been some incidents where I 've felt like I've been thrown into a tank with sharks..... Maybe it's time to climb the carb ladder for some folks! It helps with one's mood ya know...

Re: Should I Go To The E.r

Gazelah,

I dont understand how you can be taken aback. You come to a low carb website saying how you have eaten a whole ice cream cake. And you weigh just 115 lbs. Don't you think that your actions could be perceived that you are just rubbing salt into the wounds of people on this support board who are trying to break their addiction to sugar and carbohydrate?

I honestly think that you are here posting this in an attempt to cause panic and cravings in people who are trying their hardest to lose weight. And to add that people shoud eat more sugar to help their mood is just rude.

Sorry if I cause offence but I feel this should be said.

Re: Should I Go To The E.r

gazaleh, i am glad you are feeling better. that might be because what you ate is digested and leaving your system.
---------------
because of recent events on this board, i think it is best to close this thread. the op asked a question, was given advice and now it's hers take it and do with it as she wills.

always remember that in cyberspace, writtings may not come across as they would in person. written in certain manner, taken in a certain frame of mind, there are enough factors that minunderstandings can come off as negative.

everyone should remember that this is an atkins diet support board. although we can support and give advice, we are not doctors and when things of a severd nature are happening, our advice should always be "go see your (a) doctor".

as a parting shot, i would direct attetion to the terms of service:
