(no really, it's good!)

i can't drink water. i've even tried the flavoured varieties and i just can't stand itt.

but it's great you're drinking a lot of it and keeping healthy

^^^ well, i also drink a lot of tea, with no sugar, if i want something with some flavor. another great no/low-calorie option. i don't know if you're a tea person. i also discovered i like milk now (odd, because i used to hate it). i had to give up the soda though, it was poisoning me, and i'm still having 'withdrawal' headaches. now that i'm not drinking it, i realize how bad it was making me feel. i cut out a lot of needless calories just by cutting out soft drinks alone.

so far i'm doing well still... fried chicken for dinner, definitely NOT healthy, but i won't have much. (i don't get a say in dinner, unfortunately. have to eat what's made, or go to bed hungry.)

I caved in and ate stuff I know I should not be eating. Just can't understand where the intense hunger comes from.

me too. chips and soda today, my biggest weaknesses. i'm still shaken up from a bad fight my parents had last night while they were drunk. i know i shouldn't turn to food for comfort, but there is literally nothing and no one else.

also, i weighed yesterday and found out i only lost one pound the entire week, although i ate well and moved more. it feels like no matter what i do, i just can't get ahead. i feel like i'd have to starve and exercise myself to death to lose just 5 pounds a week.

now i'll probably gain that pound right back, but i don't currently have energy enough to care.

1-2 pounds a week is healthy weight loss

i've been doing fairly well.

been at least 3 days since i've really over eaten

still eating the 'bad' foods. trying to justify it to myself by thinking "i'll start again on monday, and won't slip this time". but i'm just saying that to make bingeing all weekend seem 'okay'. i dread what the scale will say when monday arrives.

as i'm typing this, i'm eating a full bag of potato chips- with my dinner of chicken and fries still in the oven

where does it all go wrong..

mixed week this week

really bad days, and really good days. (like today)

I am glad I found this. I rarely come to this website. But I want to start. I like this daily check-in. My new incentive for keeping the cravings binges etc in check, is physical therapy in a swimming pool. Its like how ashamed do I want to feel in this pool wearing spandex or lycra or some other horrifying fabric.

So today, sunday, my planned caloric intake is 1200 or less. With low(ish) carbs. Wednesday is PT pool day. For 2 days in a row, I have messed up. So I know I have to make up for it during these next 3 days, until Wednesday. Not so easy. Actually, painful. Thanks for reading. Hope you have an ease-y day

i've been eating good. (not as in healthy good), but i've been managing to control my eating for maybe 3 or 4 days

i posted way too soon.. really let myself down today

can't even look at what i've eaten

my stomach hurts from my latest binge, and i have

Possible trigger:

diarrhea.

also, i gained four pounds.

i deserve this.

Oh dear fellow sufferers, why were we destined to live our life feeling soooo much pressure from the media and it's world to get or stay thin/slim?? I feel for all of you, really I do, We are utter slaves to this ''supa slim model look''? Oh what I'd give to be naturally thin, yep, I'd give anything in the whole wide world and whats worse is I've lived this way for over 30 horrible years. I've gained quite a lot of weight over the last 2 months and I HATE what I see in the mirror every morning. I'm restricting big time yet haven't lost absolutely zero weight. I so love the confidence being thin gives me, plus the extra energy that goes with it.
I'm a total mess, look like c*** and feel depressed. I guess most of you here will understand exactly what I'm going on about ................................ yeah, you do right!

I binged. Kept going out and buying more food. I told cousin what I ate. She asked me if I was bulimic I am not bulimic. I just have binge eating disorder. Usually i keep it under control. But it is SO hard

currently i've got in the room with me 1 massive bag of potato chips.

but... i've not opened them- which is good, right?

wrong.

i went ahead and ordered a massive pizza takeout with garlic bread and cola

dam

i might as well binge for the rest of the week and start a new diet on monday. i'm already in too deep.
but if i do that i'll gain even more weight... and make it harder for myself to lose.

i need to rethink my priorities.

i need to tell him not to buy me chips this weekend.

i can't stand to be this big any longer, therefore i must do a complete overhaul of my eating / exercising habits.

i have to remember these sayings:
"this month's choices are next month's body."

and

"a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips."

I did much better today except for the hot chocolate ( made with stevia and cashew milk) which I always binge drink. I have not yet found the way to stop. I need to find the way to cut way back. Other than that it was aye okay today.

[LifeGetsBetter]

I wish there was something to make me feel full and not hungry......besides food and chocolate and snacks

ugh. am i eating the chocolatey granola bars? yes.

I don't think logic like this will get you anywhere.

I'm back on seroquel and have just eaten an entire pint of ben and jerry's. ****.

been a while. i started dieting again on thurs. i've lost 3 pounds, after gaining 4. i hope to be under 280 next week. i ate a little over 700 calories yesterday though, so that may set me back. but today i'll walking a lot in a store with my parents.

also my mom think i'm starving myself and i'm not.

[DizzyBritches]

I just found this thread. I have been an overeater all my life but before being hit by a car 16 years ago I was active enough so it balanced out. Now I weigh 90 pounds more than I should. I am discouraged because chronic pain has made exercising frustrating. But I just got nerve block injections for the first time and the pain is much less now. I thought I would be motivated but instead I'm scared. I am 61 and chronically depressed, dysthymic I guess.
If this is the wrong place to post it's okay to move or delete. Thanks.
