Discouraged by trace calories...

OP, I'm not sure if you are being overwhelmed by so many responses and perhaps the messages aren't sinking in. So please read the following very carefully:
1) Your "diet" is severely flawed and you are not eating healthy
2) Your comments and original may indicate that you either have or are in danger of having an eating disorder. At the very least, you seem to have an unhealthy relationship with food
3) You seem to have no knowledge of nutrition, how many calories you should eat and exercising.
4) You haven't seemed to absorb anything that anyone has said to you in this very long string of comments and follow up their posts will perplexing questions that make me wonder if you are "for real".
5) If you are on MFP then you have access to the internet. There are tons of websites on dieting, nutrition, fitness, eating disorders (and their warning signs), etc. Do some research and do not rely on strangers on MFP to tell you how to live.
6) I haven't looked but it seems you may already be underweight. Are you getting that?
7) This is serious and not a game. You could be doing irreparable damage to yourself physically and mentally.
8) As I read through your posts the theme is the same: You want to know if you're eating too much. 100 people have told you that you are not eating too much. Your husband said you eat a lot of junk, meaning you eat mostly unhealthy food, not that you eat too much.
Bottom line: What we are all trying to tell you is that you are not eating the right things. We are also trying to tell you that you may be eating too little calories. And we are trying to tell you that you may not need to lose any weight because you appear to be too thin. Lastly, a few posters have made reference to previous posts you have made that might indicate an eating disorder. I strongly suggest you speak with a professional about this as soon as possible. Let you husband read these posts and hopefully he can explain it to you.
Do you get it now? Good luck.

You are 22 years old. We need to tell you what to eat?
Honest question, can't your husband help you with that since you knoe, you do live together? Or does he also eat Cocoa Puffs for dinner?
Calling her out won't help her fix that, though. Regardless of whether or not she should know better at her age.
MrM does have a good point however, what does your husband eat?
Anyhow, I agree with the comments saying that you should talk to you doctor and seek a dietician or follow some nutrition classes. If you need a quick fix, however, you can add me as a friend and have a peek at my diary, I have been on a 1200 calorie diet for a week now, and maybe you can get some ideas from there. (Ignore the first week, I had just had my teeth pulled) You may have to navigate through all the stuff that are not in English though.
So you're telling me that calling her out isn't helping but then you agree with what I said. Makes sense.
Sorry, I don't cover my advice in sprinkles. Not happening.
I was actually taking issue with the first part (and your first reply), as you are just telling her "you should know". Which, obviously she doesn't, if she is asking. So it's not really advice.
The second part, yes that I agree with. I also don't care much for how you phrase it.
She's an adult. She should know that it's time to stop eating like a kid. You don't like the way I said it then that's just tough.
Sorry, I just realised I mis-phrased my sentence and thus gave a completely different meaning to what I said. I meant to say I don't care how you phrase your advice. I just dislike in general when people give empty advice, such as "just eat better". Since it does not really help.
I'm not even going to bothe going back and forth with you. I don't have the desire to baby people, you handle that.
ok.0 -
An entire bottle of salad dressing a day? I'd think that'd get expensive.0

Oh, dear. I just saw the second photo. OP, if that is you now, I recommend seeing an ED therapist right away and consulting with a Registered Dietitian who specializes in treating disordered eating.
You need a 2200+ calorie a day diet to be healthy, NOT 1200.0 -

Yup, scary. Hopefully, she will get it. Note, she hasn't responded to any questions about her weight and whether that 2nd photo is current...0 -

I'm not even understanding what I just saw. How can someone function like that?
I mean, refugee, I can understand, but in the industrial/modern world, with a family who cares for them? I don't get it.0 -

Putting all the nutrition issues aside for a serious second...it doesn't appear that you need to lose weight. Are those profile pictures current? What goal are you trying to achieve? What's the end game? Why do you feel like you need to be on a restrictive diet?0 -
I wouldn't worry about counting calories on Christmas day. It's only 1 day and it should be fun, relaxing and yummy!!
There are so many healthy recipe books and websites out there. Stick to them until you get a grasp on things.0 -
The second picture is no longer current, that was taken a year ago and I have gained weight since. Last time I was on the scale I have gained 25 lbs since my lowest weight, but last time I was on the scale was in october, and my husband broke it because I wasn't taking the weight gain too well. I overate like mad on real dinners and breakfasts, 6000 calories worth in a day, having eggs, bacon, donuts, milk, chicken, steaks, sweet potato fries, yogurt, granola, peanuts, i went crazy and my body was aching because i didn't have grease for so long, and it was a lot of food, (mainly high caloric foods). I cook for my husband, I make him homemade pizza, pasta, chicken, on sunday I made him a BLT, I make him steaks, and mashed potatoes (he doesn't like veggies so Im the one who eats the veggies and fruits). Yesterday I made homemade pretzels and fudge for him and his coworkers (feeding the army because he is in the army) lol so I am just trying to learn how to eat normally without overeating. Counting calories keeps me in check and helps me get away from those binges. I saw a nutritionist (an army one) and brought my husband with me for support. We both agreed that she had no idea what she was talking about all she said was just eat and drink milkshakes. I tried to get a referral for one off post but they have no openings. So I have turned to all of you for support because I would like to get some advice on what I am doing wrong and what not. My husband isn't the best model either, because him and his friends go to fast food a lot because I have school or am at work. And when we go dirt biking they always stop by fast food so i bring my bag of carrots, and sometimes bread with sugar-free jam. And as for the bottle of dressing, its not like I am sitting there and drinking the thing lol I use it for dipping carrots and for the salads (i have a lot of salad).0

People can be dumb. Or they just are relieved that you aren't as thin as before. Are you willing to post your stats? You appear to be underweight to me, and I can't see any reason even if you are at an actual healthy weight to lose any weight.0 -
May be they were being nice and didn't want to hurt your feelings.0

Well, you don't need to lose weight, that's for certain.0
