You are far from anorexic. We are the same height and a normal BMI weight range for our height is 101.1lbs - 136.7 I'm 127 right now and would have to lose 26 more pounds to even be considered underweight and that isn't going to happen. Keep doing what you're doing

And don't worry too much about that slip up and just get right back to OMAD, You got this

When i hit my 1st plateau i try not to look at it in a negative way but in a positive way what can i learn from a plateau? Well i learned how to maintain my weight without it going up on the scale, so when i reach my healthy weight range that i set for myself ill know from my plateaus how to stay in weight range. Hope this helps you or anyone else that might be in a plateau.

OMG I really love that image

I agree. What you have been through is just shocking. Especially about this thread. What does this have to do with anything?

I think the photo although graphic still represents belief systems. I try not to mention OMAD to anyone and if i do they are just horrified and want to scare me off it. But they are not doctors, they are armchair doctors, many also with weight/health issues. Being overweight/obese is much worse than doing omad for the body. Fasting makes total sense. We are not entitled to all those meals, its just silly.

I did realize while doing omad that we (average 3 mealers) do eat too much, Way too much.

I used to eat a huge breakfast, a huge lunch and then sometimes a whole pizza for dinner plus snacked throughout the day. No wonder I had acid reflux, IBS, sleeping issues etc. etc. Now I can’t even fathom how i was able to eat all that in a day and think that it’s ok or needed?

Its just too much! We dont need it, and our body is trying to get rid of it all and deal with it, with the only time to do the work being at night. Of course we are seriously overweight and have health issues and being uncomfortable.

Sometimes I travel on the train and in front of me there are very well dressed people (going to the theatre or a classical concert) and they are so overweight. Their legs are huge and I can see how they are in discomfort wearing those tight clothes and I feel so sorry for them. I see how the system and the automatic (and not questioned) eating habits (i guess 3 meals, frequent snacking) fail them in a long run.

How desparate we are to cling to this belief system that that is the way to go. Well look around you people. Look around and look at the average person over 40, most of us are overweight or obese. Is this really the way to go? Isn’t it worth looking outside the box and try out different things? What do we have to loose? Unwanted lbs?
Unfortunately the hard exercise thing is not gonna work for people in their 60s-70s who are obese and have for example heart disease, weak joints, knee or other problems. So what do those people do? Give up and suffer on. Its just sad.

Regarding our own weight. I have heard something that was very eye opening for me.

We are so conditioned by the majority being overweight that when we see normal weight people we think they are underweight. This might have happened in your case.

Sorry for the long post on your thread!

@jadepearl just catching up. I am so sorry for all that you went through --completely insane!!!! I am glad things are better now and that you are back on track. Keep it up - you can do it!

@jadepearl yes I had to reset my entire MFP account because it was hacked.....So frustrating.....I lost all my stats, and everything…..Oh well....such is life.
I am glad things are better for you....OMG love the image so funny and so true!!!!!

Some people can be sooo mean, I'm glad that you got it all straightened out though. The weight will come off, just stay strong
