Growing up I loved Chef salads. My mom didn't have any lettuce one evening when I was hungry for it so I took cheese & thousand island dressing & just ate that.....ended up getting sick (not sure if it was the combination or that I just would have gotten sick anyway)....but never again can I eat cheese & thousand island dressing & I'm 63 now.

One Christmas, my Grandparents came in by train to visit & brought some of that fake chocolate candy. I ate it & ended up with the asian flu that Christmas. To this day the taste of that carob like chocolate stuff I can't get near. I don't get sick very easy & I hate getting sick because I usually end up breaking blood vessels in the whites of my eyes & get little pin point red spots from tiny blood vessels bursting my my face.......I fignt getting sick to my stomach but when I'm ill, there is no option. I usually won't eat when I feel sick. But that is where the anorexia problems sometimes start from...stress makes me feel sick, so I don't eat & if it's long term stress, not eating for a long time is NOT good & usually turns into massive weight loss which triggers the desire for more weight loss....becomes a vicious circle
