about weight gaining.. - sleepless - ArchivalUser - 06-08-2006
hi every one.
i saw this heading in which everyone was worried about their weight gain during the exam......the actuall mechanism is like this if anyone wld like to know.
your internal psychic anatomy always tell you to eat ... to relieve the tension and anxieties.. and when i was tired of prolonged sitting i also opened a pack of biscuits and ate a lot... cause did not have anything to do else... it gives you a lot of sugar and rejuvinates you... there is nothing wrong and it is a normal response....
it becomes pathological when your appetite is gone... cause during tension eating more is a sign that your brain is working right and doing the right thingt..
if you do not eat and your appetite is gone then it all shows more signs and depression and extreme anxiety has taken over and if you want i can explain... b/c i read a lot about this...l... the fact is ppl that ppl when they are tense and do not eat, is because they become too preoccupied that there time eating is going to reduce the time left for their preparation.... and they cannot waste more time......cause they already have less time.....
i gained a little wait but after the exam i am now more into taking once a meal in a day and my wait is going back to normal..... i hop9e you all get it..
it is not the black chocolate that acts as a stimulant,,,, it is the milk chocolate...,,, if you want me to explain it is going to take a lot of time..... also becuse the milk choco late contains more caffeine ,.... this is from a study ,,,, i got this email from cnn./health....
what i took with me in the exam was milk chocolates and cokes and i kept eating and drinkin after each block..... made me fresh... that is the best thing to eat during the exam... do not make you heavy... i had some biscuits also but never even opened the pack...
look guys for all of you who could not sleep the night before and have got a dull mind during the exam,,, so you ppl can take l.... MODAFINIL.. i also got this from cnn. / health.. it makes you more awake and more agile and it does not make you happy ,,,, your mind feels fresh for 48 hrs and you don't feel lilke you are high...
my friend did the mistake of taking RITALIN after the fifth and he said i was so happy that i finished the next two blocks in 35 minutes each.... and he screwed up and failed...
i thought this wld help9 you all in the exam...... i do not prefer coffee and tea b./c it causes diuresis much more quickly .... if i tell you the mechanism then its going to take much longer...
take care and best of luck guys..
oh by the way... for narcolepsy the standard t/,m is MODAFINIL ..... not amphetamine.... anymore...
