    and this is why i keep my diary private. no judging.
  • I have a daily goal of 1200 and do my best to hit it. I find it hard to eat so much and I do not get so hungry after the 6 meals I am already eating.

    The main goal of this site, or the way I take it, is to encourage healthy habits. To discriminate those who do not hit the 1200 on purpose or not, is not assisting them in making the right decisions. With that said, it's everyones' rite to accept or not accept the people they want.

    I see both sides, but I'd hope people don't think I am all for an eating disorder because I am still learning and teaching my body to reach the 1200 a day. I'm all about good vibes and helpful information. Good luck to everyone in reaching their goals and good for you in using this site as a help. It has a wealth of information : )

    I'm here for me and to support people who are doing it the healthy way, so that I can learn from and be supported by them. I am not here to help someone with an eating disorder. Sorry.
  • If some people aren't allowing others who eat under 1200 cals to be their friend on here because they think its some kind of eating disorder are they not allowing people who eat too many cals be there friend as well? Under and over eating can both be eating disorders... and both need support.

    Spot on!

    I can see why someone wouldn't want to listen to someone else complain about being a cow at 105lbs, but really? I try to eat 1200 or less every day (mind, this doesn't always happen) based on the fact that that's the range in which I lose weight. I eat healthy, I meet my nutritional requirements, and I feel better when I stick to this limit. Clearly I don't deserve friends??

    Exactly ! under 1200 can be a healthy goal. I have fat on my body and that fuels my activity, the essential carbs and protein can be had without going over 1200. I would love to have under 1200 friends.
