little advice

Jdelts Posts: 1,218 Joined: 2003/10/19	2004/02/21, 11:55 PM What a great addition to FT. Eating disorders and fitness can unfortunately go hand in hand. I support this forum 100% but I have to add that we are all here for supporting those who need motivation NOT false information or medical advice for we are not doctors. So for those of you who want to help, please keep in mind that this is a very sensitive area for those struggling with this disorder and any false information can be harmful. Please be careful:) -------------- May the lift be with you.

Your posts are always welcomed :)

No, I am kidding. jdelts has a good point and everyone on this site should keep in mind that we are not doctors, psychiatrists or vetrinarians! And just as paper never refused ink, the internet never refused postings (unless it is my computer and then it regularily refuses to do anything very useful , including post information):big_smile: -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

All of a sudden that is the way to do things!! Be careful especially with medical advice, your health is at stake here. If you are interested in a post someone made, ask them for some research on it before you just attempt it out of hand. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
