i can't believe how bloated I am. I haven't had that for a while now unless I binge eat, eat high sodium or TOM is in town. GOSH!!! I just had to VENT.
But seriously my energy is coming back. I am not cold anymore. I've not used my jacket past week. I usually use them at my work because I was aslways cold...
So what is positive benefit did you have when you started this journey?

This.
Also for me I have the energy to not only exercise, but dominate while doing so. That's important to me and my goals.0 -
I'm no longer suffering from depression, exhaustion, insomnia or crankiness. :drinker:0

I just started a week and a half ago and upped my calories. Today was the first day since then that I haven't felt bloated. I actually feel pretty good today.
Plus side to this.
I am eating alot and feel better. Before I started this journey, I felt like I was in a fog and couldn't focus. I was tired and starving all the time too. I may have to up my calories more because for the past couple of days, I feel like I can't get enough to eat. (it wasn't like that the first few days) Hahhahahahaha
You will get there and it will be worth it!0 -

How long did it work? for depression part. i THINK I have felt that, but NOT depression itself.. but limiting myself with 1,200 makes me cranky, *****, sad, etc etc. I hate it!0 -

Wow ok- good stuff eh?
I love good stuff.
So far- my hair is growing again, my hair stopped falling out in the shower/brush/wind, the tiny white hairs are going away, my eyes aren't as dry, I sleep normal hours (not too much not too little), I can live without coffee, I laugh at energy drinks because I'm hyped up on fuel, my nails aren't breaking, circles under my eyes are going away, no more constipation, I like shopping for food again, I fidget again, I have energy post working out, I can up my weights each workout, and I get to help other people learn how to do this too.
That's pretty good stuff.0 -
amazing!!!!

Something nobody else has mentioned....my skin has cleared up. I've been struggling with breakouts on my middle back for a couple of years during times of eating too much and too little. Read recently that it might be hormonal, but five weeks into Eating More, it is SO much better.0

I have also noticed an incredible amount of energy...which is pretty much a miracle considering I have a 6 month old and a 3 year old.0
