    As stated, you need therapy, not a forum.

    You sound like you are bat *kitten* crazy.

    This website/forum is for folks who are trying to lose weight in healthy ways. That's why it's called My FITNESS Pal not my skinny pal. You see the same kind of responses when people ask about body wraps or diet pills or Body by Vi - these are quick fixes and not healthy ways to lose weight. People are concerned because they worry about you and want you to be healthy. Instead of rejecting that, you should consider that maybe what you're doing to your body and mind are not that great.

    Sounds like this is not the first time you've posted this kind of question and gotten this kind of response... Either you're a troll who's just looking for attention or you seriously need help from a professional for your eating disorder.

    I don't want my family to realise I am dieting because my dad is really against diets for some reason

    Your dad is more than likely against YOU dieting because he, like us, thinks you are already at a low weight!

    As I said in your bulimia thread yesterday -

    Troll needs to work on skills.

    If not a troll, get off the Internet and seek professional help immediately.

    If you're full it's too much. Eat til your satsified, not until you're in agony lol

    I agree. Your trying to satisfy your hunger, not his opinion of what you should eat. Take charge of your diet.:smile:

    Honestly, you probably feel too full because you purged yesterday and have been eating too little lately. No, it's not too much at all.

    I like a lot of protein with my meal, but even for me, 10oz at one time is a bit too much, maybe 6-8oz usually. It's really dependant on you, and your stomach though on if it's 'too much', no one can tell you that. If you feel too full, then yes, it's too much. Scallops aren't bad for you (well depending on how they're cooked) if that's also a concern for eating too much, since you want something more than just vegetables (not enough calories, darn you veggies!) to eat.

    Next time have 5oz (maybe a bit more veg if you're still in need of food), and if anyone says anything, just tell them the truth. "Last time I ate that much, I was too full". Voila, reasonable explanation that should end critcism before it begins.

    I can not vouch for everyone else or nor do I agree with what some are saying but I am 5'6 and 150lbs. That seems like a lot but really it isn't for my height, it's healthy. My advice is don't push your body to extreme's take care of yourself and as for the portion it really depends on the person. If you feel like you over ate and are to full then that amount is to much for you where as for someone else it may be just right. All I have to say is listen to your body and pay attention to what it is telling you. Eat slower if your concerned about overeating and let you brain catch up with your stomach. Be good to yourself because you only have one life to live.

    This behavior seems to me, a diagnosed anorexic in recovery, as very suspicious and suspect. Hiding a diet from the people buying your food is a give away, and throwing up EVER is not a warning sign, but a dignosis waiting to happen. Even considering it is a warning sign of poor self esteem.

    I am 5'7, 120 and not able to exercise yet because my body fat percentage is so low. I do not think you need to be losing any weight. If you need help, please message me. I'd love to give you ideas on how to increase your self esteem, because I doubt you need to lose weight.

    i don't think this person wants help. Her/his/its posts are all vaguely confrontational, and I suspect a troll in the making.
    But I do want to say, that was a very nice and thoughtful post you wrote, and maybe it will help someone else at some point.

    People with eating disorders are often times defensive about their disorder. She says she is hiding her "diet" from her family. Which in and of itself isn't confirmation of an eating disorder. But, that with the desire to make sure the portion isn't too big, her height, weight and age. I am sure we are in the neighborhood of an eating disorder. So, it's a troll or a pro ana poster. Either way the OP needs mental help and that can't be had here.

    fair enough!
    If you feel sick you have probably eaten too much, that clearly would look like a big portion on a plate so why did you eat it? (I am thinking about how big a 10oz steak is!)
    If you did not want anyone to comment on your size why did you post your stats? your username is kind of a giveaway anyway!

    If you think you have problem with dieting or eating disorder get some help, if you don't why would you even think it was an issue or feel the need to hide it from your family?

    Also sausages are not as bad as you think, 260cals for 2 sausages so a good meal with veg or jacket potato and salad, don't get too caught up in what is thought of as 'fatty'.

    Haha my username is more like the dream of being skinny like a kit kat stick
    I posted my stats because there is a difference of what a big portion depending on the person's body size - a grown man shouldn't eat the same as a young girl
    I don't want my family to realise I am dieting because my dad is really against diets for some reason
