    OK PEOPLE! I don't drink 6-10 beers a night. I said I did that for 3 weeks! NOT NOW! I was going through a stressful time! Some people binge eat, some people don't eat at all, some people drink, some do drugs. I get that it's not the healthiest thing on the planet.... but it's what i did for three weeks. I usually have 3-4 drinks per MONTH!

    It is not how much, or how often you typically drink. It is the fact that something happened in your life that was not easy and you fell off the wagon and drank your face off for 3 weeks. Just because others "binge eat, dont eat at all, drink or do drugs" does not make it ok.

    ETA - Crying for days on end because of your belly is not a normal response either...you may want to consider professional help.

    First off, I get it. When I went through a breakup 4 years ago with my daughter's father ... I hit the booze hard. Mostly I was out partying all the time when I didn't have my daughter. I didn't drink every night so I didn't think I had a problem.

    Well I did. I was more concerned about feeling nothing being drunk that I forgot to deal with my problems. Problems that are still relevant in my life today and make me want to kick myself in the face!

    No one can tell someone how to cope with their problems. I just want you to be aware that it could lead to bigger problems even if you feel like it can't right now. (& I mean this out of love)

    With that said....if you are done on the binge drinking, then you should start to see some water weight come off.

    I wish you luck!

    girlfriend i am on the same page as you!!! i use to be 230 then became anorexic and dropped to 107. now i am eating healtjy and back up to about 127 (refuse to weigh myself) but trying to be at 110. i am a restaurant manager and once i am able to eat it is about 130am. i find myself beyond stressed and eating late night...mind you it is cheerios and grapes but still. I work out 2 hours everyday. i am a certified trainer and i am getting back on track. i am sp scared of meals so i graze alllllllll damn day! its annoying, but i started today and bought some fiber cereal and some protein bars so i can eat them at work!!! it all in the mind set!

    i recommend this boo called fine to fab and i think every girl should read it and also listen to the song "just the way you are" you are beautiful inside and out. dont let your "belly" get in the way f what you are capable of!!! put your mind to it...stay off the scale because it is just a number. no number represents you. go off your jeans or dress.

    reach out for anything!!!

    You're trying to be 3 lbs heavier than you were when you "were" anorexic?

    It sounds like you still have a problem to me...you said you're scared of meals, eat cheerios and grapes and exercise 2 hours a day. If you aren't already, please speak to somebody who will be able to assist you.


    OP, you're drinking a lot of beer which gives a lot of heavy beer drinkers a bigger stomach. Stop drinking the beer. Track your calories (properly - don't cheat, and buy a food scale) and figure out how much you're eating. Eat at a deficit, but eat in moderation. Stop crying and funnel those emotions into your self-control. Good luck.

    Yes bloating happens
    Yes you probably gained some weight
    Yes it will go away since you claim to no longer be having these destructive behaviors.

    IS that what you wanted from us?

    Stress will also make you gain weight in the tummy area. I don't think you mentioned your age, but I am 48 and have noticed over the last year or so, a little more fat accumulating around my middle. I think some of that has to do with hormones. At any rate, once the stress is over and you're more relaxed and definitely cut out all those beers, your body should start settling down and back to normal. Hang in there!

    You do NOT look 48!!!! Go girl! :flowerforyou:


    Awwww, thank you!! I have good genes from my mother. :)
