Back at it again... This time with a vengeance!
I've done this a few times before but I let myself fall off track because of mental health issues.

Is it better to use body measurements, a scale, both? What have you all found works the best for a true idea of progress, as well as what works the best to help not get…

Wanting to lose 30+ pounds
Hi everyone! I'm 23, and have had quite a journey. Came from a food desert, having not eaten rice or spinach until I moved to a new state at 19.

I’m Back
I’ve used Fitness Pal in the past to track calories. This is when I’ve been most successful with weight loss. It promotes Mindful eating. But I’m new to the community side of things. I’m not much of a joiner. I’m trying for a bit more accountability this time. Checking in regularly. Making this part of my daily journey.

Falling off the wagon aka food demons
So, yeah I went on a binge. Felt like a drug addict you see in the movies. If I could stand throwing up I would. So my question is now what??? Should I Fast tomorrow?? Will that balance this out? More importantly what about when I get these impulses?
