    The only problem I had with her was her blocking me for some unknown reason. I have been obese after recovering from anorexia. Too many people, myself included, make excuses as to why they can't get what they want. If people believe that I'm being rude for offering sound advice, I don't care. I type the way I type and I wish that my friends would have told me to stop whining about my problems.

    What advice did you offer? "it was easy for me so obviously it's easy for you" isn't really advice. I'm guessing she blocked you because you were being rude and insulting.

    ^ My thoughts exactly.
    Magpie, I wish you the best of luck in your battle with your mental disorders I hope they are all as easily defeated as eating was.

    I told her to take charge of her life and not to wallow in her own pity. I said in the next post that recovering was NOT easy and that I'm not fully all together. All I am doing is reiterating what the OP said and getting addicted to the runner's high. I am sorry that write complete sentences????? I'm honestly not trying to insult anyone.

    So, by admitting she found breaking her binge habits hard, you think that means she's wallowing? I would suggest re-reading the OP and then re-reading your posts and noting the differences in tone and manner.

    Maybe I've just spent too long in the wrong forums but to me, it sounded as if she were comparing the severity of our eating disorders. I have had to deal with not feeling "good enough" because I had EDNoS and not anorexia or bulimia. There is a sick comparison of EDs. That is what I took from her post and I apologize if I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

    Physically it is real easy. Mentally it can be very hard for some people. If you're 17 it's a lot easier than when you are matured and you've had bad eating habits for a longer time.

    So you should pat yourself on the back for realizing this so early on! Will make it easier for you in the future! Good luck maintaining!

    ^^This!

    I was going to say "easy" for some people isn't as "easy" for others. But this is a better explaination.

    Congrats on your weight loss!

    Magpie, I owe you an apology. My words were quickly chosen and snippy. I don't like when people conduct themselves that way on the forums and I should show the same restraint. I don't feel personally that any of this is easy and I do wish you success.

    Yes. Because it can be difficult to maintain good habits when experiencing periods of stress. Hopefully you will have plans in place for when you get older and experience them yourself.

    By the way, you seem to be saying you're 17, when this site is 18 plus for a reason. And not just because us oldies get irritated having to read abbreviated text writings.

    Well done on losing the weight. Maybe we'll see you back here when you're officially a grown up, but if not, don't forget your own advice.

    Wow! Jealous much?! What a nasty thing to say! I'm 36 and I think he is on the right track and has done an awesome thing! And what is up with the "abbreviated writings" comment? I think someone peed in your Cheerios!

    I totally concur, that is exactly the case for me. When I returned to my weight loss journey, I was going hard counting calories and exercising, and I lost 20lbs in about 2 months but when I stopped doing that, the weight loss stopped. Now I've been stuck within 5lbs of the weight I was the last time I was consistent. But I decided today to recommit. I went walking 2 miles today for the first time in almost 2 months, and it felt wonderful. I'm so turned up now!

    I always wonder how honest people are in anonymous forums. Like if someone posts a picture in their profile, then if you were to do a Google image search on that picture, what would you find out about the person.

I know childreen that had harsher lifes then i do as a " grown up". But :( i think you are probably gonna be irritated now cos english is my second language and i didnt spell everything perfect : ( But im so sorry you had to read this :(

    You are also an 18 year old guy. Try being a 30-something woman with hormonal/metabolic issues and report back on how easy it is!

    lol okay. Have fun being fat...

    I'm not ignorant. I'm giving advice based on my experiences. I don't sit around moping. No one is going to change you but yourself. I have a nice long list of mental problems but I don't use them as excuses.

    Your response was Rude and totally uncalled for...LOL at a response that was heartfelt IS IGNORANT.

    To the OP, congrats. Some people need to just go back to basics - move more, eat less.I know it's not easy for everyone, but it really is more simple than some make it out to be.

    Not bitter at all.

    And if you continue through the thread, you'll see that I have apologised to the OP already.

    Thank you for your input.

    YES !!!

    I agree. Lots of people make it much more complicated than it needs to be.

    Leonardo, congrats & keep your enthusiasm!
