Over Eating
Does anyone struggle with over eating? Not just "oh I had 3 extra slices of pizza" but more of binge eating, like you consume massive amounts ... say at night ... of food. Or emotional eating etc etc. Thanks

You know it wasn't a great food day when...
Your food diary from the day before looks like this... Breakfast: Chocolate Lunch: Chocolate Snack: Some Chocolate Dinner: Chocolate with a side of chocolate. :laugh: I haven't had a day like that in a while, it was so needed and I am okay with it. It was some damn good chocolate too! :bigsmile:

Frustrated... need to rant and rave
So here I am, after a couple weeks of "goofing off" with my food and exercise, getting serious again. (I didn't fall off the wagon, just got lax, and didn't lose my potential) My first problem: I did my exercise bike this morning and burned 1040 calories. Then this afternoon, my wife and I went out walking. I burned…

It really is amazing!
So, I hit this weird plateau..... wasn't losing, wasn't gaining. Wasn't particularly bloated. I couldn't figure it out. After almost two weeks of being stuck there I decided to jack up my calories (reduce my deficit). So, I added 500 calories per day. Its amazing how hard it is to eat SO MUCH! Now, before I started this…

sodium...my enemy
I was recently diagnosed with Meniere's disease (problem with build-up of fluid deep within inner ear which causes extreme ringing of ear, hearing loss, and sometimes nasty vertigo). Dr says to keep sodium to @1000mg/ day. I have found this is just shy of impossible! Especially if you eat at a restaurant. There's sodium in…

Obsession/ Eating disorder?
Okay so I've noticed myself obsessing over food/weight/exercise. It consumes so much of my time. I have weird habits that I've taken to while eating (for example, I must cut up an apple into tiny slices to eat it, I cannot and will not eat it without it being sliced). On occasion, I will "binge" (I use the term binge…
