Hello...I found this group today, but I'm wondering, is it still active?

I have set a goal for the month of November to not go over 999 calories/day. Does that qualify on here as "Very Low Calorie Dieting?" (I know out on the main forums it does...they have a *fit* !!!)

Anyway, I was just looking for some support from people who are happier eating less, not more!

Pam

    :flowerforyou: I believe that this just may be the group that will fit me like size 4 jeans. I never even realized that my diet strategies were considered unconventional-- until I joined MFP. I have received so much hate on the main forums, it is unbelievable. People refusing to accept the FACT that their diet strategy is NOT one-size-fits-all. People upholding the Sacred Holy 1200-calorie-minimum, and the Almighty BMI table, and accusing everyone of eating disorders who disagrees. Feel free to check out my profile page-- that is my brand-new "After" pic on there. I just lost 10 vanity pounds in 25 days-- and it isn't water weight either! I was voted Worst Diary Ever recently. Considering the source, I am honored! I don't send out individual friend requests, but I accept friend requests sent my way. I defend the RIGHT of EVERYONE to abide by whatever calorie goal, whatever weight goal, they choose for themselves. If you would like to be my friend, please add me. I am on MFP every day. Thank You!! :flowerforyou:

    I just joined. I hope this group is still alive. I am Al. I am ashamed to admit this, but I have heard the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I am overweight. I am a binge-eater, and I need help to quit binge eating forever. The day before I began my fitness pal I consumed approximately 8,830 calories in one day, and it wasn't even a special occasion. I calculated it. Though, I am sure there were many days in which I consumed more than this. In fact, I don't know if that day would even make my top 100 binge-eating days, but I never calculated how many calories I consumed those other days. One day I ate two medium full-size delivery pizzas loaded with toppings. Another day, my mother gave me a huge extremely sweet, rich, and chocolatey ice cream cake for my birthday, and I ate the entire cake within two days except for two small slices. In December, I went to the movie theater, and just while watching one film I consumed 3 jumbo popcorn containers with extra butter by myself. I think I could talk about my binge-eating failures for hours. However, when I am not binge-eating I eat mostly low-calorie healthy food. When I am not binge-eating I am a strong proponent for saving the environment and eating healthy, and when I am binge eating I feel like a hypocrite. Though, I love good tasting food so much that I feel like I could eat it forever. I really appreciate food that makes my taste senses explode with joy. I also binge-eat during almost all celebrations or when I am depressed. Additionally, when I am not binge-eating I think very few people eat healthier than me. I have been doing okay recently, but I do not know when I will not be able to resist the urge to binge eat again. To complicate things I am a Christian, and in Christianity over eating is considered the sin of gluttony. I am trying to get in shape because 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV reads: "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." Thus, I really want to get in as good of shape as possible spiritually and physically. Though, I may need some support.
