Q for recovered eating disorder peeps
Yesterday was the first time I stepped on the scale and wasn’t happy to see that I’ve lost weight. Why? Because I am back at the high end of my pre-recovery eating disorder (bulimia) weight and am still not happy with my body. In fact, I thought I’d actually gained weight cause I wasn’t feeling as good in my body lately. I…

back from california....
about 10lbs heavier. We had such a fabulous trip. I'd never been that far west, but it was lovely. I had the best 21st birthday in Sonoma touring vineyards- LOVE IT.

Help With Cheeseburger Behavior
Sorry for the double posting under food. :embarassed: Last night I went to dinner and had all my calories planned. Did great except when we all went to another place afterward and I ordered a drink which OF COURSE happened to be 2 for 1 so I DRANK BOTH.

What is your. . . . .?
What is your single best piece of advise for those trying to lose weight and become healthier? Mine: Find something that gets your mind off of food - stop thinking about it constantly, even if it is planning for healthy meals. Too much thinking leads to too much creativity, then too many calories!
