Hello everybody !
My name is Elizabeth-Anne but as I am a student of Egyptian Arabic, my instructor and Egyptian friends call me either Leeza or Aziza, as the 'th' sound is rather difficult for them to pronounce.
I have suffered from binge eating disorder since I was a young college girl back in the early 80s and I just turned 56 in Jan and I am still fighting with food, emotions and my body.
I have found that eating a fair amount of food either once a day or in a small window of 4 out of 24 hours has reduced my unbearable cravings for sugar, salt, white carbs, my blood sugar has gone down dramatically and feel better. Moderation does not work for me, I am not the kind of person who can eat a snack of 12 potato chips and be satisfied, it is easier for me not to eat them at all than to have a few and get that insulin pumping.
My college weight was 110 but now that I am a woman of a certain age and post-menopausal, I have no desire to be the weight I was 37 years ago. My small and hopefully doable goal is just to get out of thee obese range and call it a day. As I am very short @ 5 foot 1, obesity for me begins at 154 pounds. My goal is 150, and I have no problem being pleasing plump as long as I am not obese.
My weight has never stopped me however, I lived in England from 2007-2009 and walked 4-15 miles every day as an obese person, perhaps that is why I have arthritis in both knees now and don't walk at all.
Nice to be here and to meet you all !

Oh yes thank you! Sorry about the confusion! I had posted a comment here but it was empty, so then I re-commented again.

New here, and first time on a "thread"
My name is Angie and here is my info:
Height 5'6"
Age. 45
Start weight 178
Current weight 166.5 (on week 4!)
Dinner time is at 7:00.
The second biggest change I've noticed is in our grocery budget. Wow! I never realized I ate so much. We are a family of 5, 3 of which are teens, and with only myself doing OMAD, there is now ALWAYS food in the house. The super cool part is that now, with not needing such a quantity of food, I opt for quality; I am able to buy more organics than ever before. So excited

About Me:
I've been on a diet since I was 8 years old (I'm now 38), the first diet I went on was Jenny Craig back in the 80's. Ive only been a healthy weight a twice in my life and the first time, was unknownly and naturally doing OMAD during my college days, I was busy studying and socialising and only ate once a day. So between the age of 17-18, I wasn't obese. Then I started work and I was eating three meals, snacks and my unhealthy eating habits started up again. My eating consists of weighing, calorie counting, quick fixes, avoiding social events. Now, however, I know what healthy foods are, but I have issues with portion control, or gravitating towards too much of curtain foods. I know I was finally in trouble, when I gravitated towards sugar and have now gotten stuck in a sugar rut cycle. I have friends who have had weight loss surgery and started to consider this, my mum got scared for me, but I saw it as a last resort, because "I've tried everything". She's tried hard to steer me away. So now I have an appointment with a Nutritionist and I'm booked on to a Fitness week holiday, all pricey things I can't afford or keep up. But I searched weight loss results videos, then I stumbled on OMAD on YouTube and it seems like the perfect fit for me, easy, straight forward, very little rules, no measuring and I'll know it'll work, because I've done this before. I just don't want to reach a place where I give up. I'm on day two and already feeling the benefits and enjoying being released from my food addiction.
