    You look amazing. And I agree, what an awesome victory - collar bones.

    Any advice? 101 lbs in 8 months. What was your success??

    Congrats on conquering the binge eating monster! Binge eating disorder is brutal, and I'm still fighting it. You look absolutely beautiful, and your confidence and happiness in your own skin just shines through those photos. Stay strong!

    Well done, you look fantastic. :smile:

    I lost 113lbs back in 2008 but have put it all back on (plus some more). Your photos are an inspiration for me to lose it all again and try harder at keeping it off this time.

    All I can say is take it one day at a time. I always set myself up for failure in the past because I told myself I'd never be able to eat smaller amounts and healthier things forever. I started telling myself I didn't have to do it forever and that I just had to do it today. The next day I'd do the same thing. Now I can't even eat more than two slices of pizza without feeling sick... I used to eat an entire Papa Johns pizza to myself... in one sitting.

    Really, all I do is eat smaller amounts and make sure the majority of what I eat is healthy with a decent amount of protein. I only eat when I'm hungry and I stop when I'm not hungry any more so that I don't get too full. I took up running earlier this year and became hooked pretty quick. Finding an exercise that I loved was a huge factor in actually working out. I don't see it as a chore at all. I just see it as that thing I love to do and the thing that makes me feel free. Adrenaline rushes are pretty cool too. ;)

    Oh and one important thing: NEVER ever tell yourself you've failed if you screw up. I've binged twice since being on MFP and I told myself that I just had to not do it again. No more of that, "Oh I already screwed up. I might as well go back to eating a lot the rest of the day... and tomorrow..." That just puts you back in the same cycle of telling yourself it's okay to harm yourself and your body. It's also really hard to get back into a healthy eating routine if you view having 'treats' as messing up. Personally, I love chocolate and I will stab a ***** over it. (Okay, not really) I just have a smaller amount and not 5 candy bars now.
