Hi evreyone. So i been crash dieting for about 3-4 monthes. but evrey 2 days in a week i stop counting calories and i pig out! really bad then on the 5 days i go back to crash dieting and im tired of this :(. i have lost weight but know i just want to maintain i dont wana lose or gain. but i think my matabolism is messed up already. so any advice in trying to maintain after crash dieting. im 5'0 ft tall and weight 100lbs. and im really scared to gain all the lbs i lost it was really hard. oh and on those 2 cheat days i eat homemade cooking. my mom makes middle eastern food. wich has alot of protein, and fat. its very gressy also but contains alot of vegtebals.

    It may help you if you begin measuring your food. It's easy: a serving of meat/fish is about the size of your palm, same goes for rice, pasta.. and make sure to eat a nice big bowl of salad w/very little dressing every day to keep full. The key to successful weight loss is having supporters.. we are all here to help! We're in this together.. for the long haul. We all have days where we just keep eating, but we learn to eat right and stop eating (the junk food) after a certain point. It's all a learning process.

    The next time you feel like pigging out, try to occupy yourself with something else. Read a book, watch a movie, take a walk (treadmill or outside), clean your room, or come on MFP and chat with us :D
