in Introduce Yourself
My name is Markayla, I'm 20 years old and I am struggling with my eating patterns. In high school I went through a phase where I was very restrictive with my food. Since then I have been a binge eater and gained 30 lbs. I have tried to diet many times and I never make it past the two week mark. I need a change and I have to become a healthier person. Any motivation to get me going would be verrry much appreciated!! I need to change my life!

    I hung the pair of pants I wanted to fit back into on the wall in my bathroom. Sounds weird but it motivates me every time I get out of the shower. I also have a friend who hung a picture of herself 20lbs lighter inside her pantry so she wouldn't be tempted to grab more food. Good luck!

    Hi Markayla, I'm also 20 years old and have exactly the same problem, I binge eat most of the time and need to become healthier. Do you eat breakfast? I've found since I've started eating breakfast and small snacks like fruit that I binge eat less, hope this helps.

    Hi Markayla,

    I know what you mean, it's so hard to lose weight. One thing that has helped me in the past, trying reading health magazines. Muscle and Fitness for Her is a good one. They have a ton of ideas of workouts and meals that are healthy and leave you feeling good. I just lost almost 20 lbs but i started in January. It's been hard, even with appetite suppressants. Let me know if this helps.
