I DO have my own problem though. I buy my food daily but it may be 11am and I have already eaten my food allotted for the day. I spend a lot of time going hungry.

Hahaha. Oh dear me, I can relate to eating up one's food allotment! I usually eat all the refined carbs first, then dairy. I'm then left with oatmeal, vegetables, eggs and....coffee with almond milk.
I have never said aloud that I have an eating disorder so this was my coming out thread. It is usually in times of stress.
It is mostly about portion size and cheating. I mean oatmeal is a good food but it actually has a lot of calories. So if I eat a huge bowl of oatmeal with fruit and almond milk that ends up not being so healthy...because it contains a ton of calories.
I also cheat eat. I read about this one. It can be about consistently eating too big portions or doing as I do....breaking down on the weekend and eating fast food. One day of bad eating can ruin a week's worth of restriction. It isn't exactly binging but doing cheat days really ruins a diet. I know diet is a dirty word but if you need to lose weight...what else can you call it?
Losing and maintaining weight is difficult...but not rocket science. However, since here in the US we have a major obesity epidemic I don't really want to be a statistic.
