I have C-PTSD. For me I get a lot of panic attacks and I emotionally overeat. I’m trying not to avoid my problems as much.

I agree we need a revival.

Did you have a personal trainer along the way? Did you feel you needed a personal trainer to tell you what diet you should have and particular exercises to do to get to your particular goals? If not, how did you find out what particular type of exercises and diet to have?

There are people who think that is is ok to "fit/thin shame" people when it is actually just as bad as shaming any group of people (unless they are serial killers/murderers/child molesters or someone who actually did something bad enough to be shamed about versus weighing a certain weight) because it is the ideal body type…

@homemadehippy: Thank you so much for all of your advice and letting me know what has worked for you. I agree with you that it is different for us emotional eaters. I for certain will use the "apple" trick. For me when I am feeling emotionally balanced and not stressed out, eat is fairly easy to stay away from the…

Do you have any advice or tips you've learned during your weight loss journey?

Thanks guys!

Hahahahahaaa!! Love this post! XD I'm the type of person that has difficulties saying "no" after just one serving of Talenti. Now I only buy it with my best friend and make him eat most of it. It works out amazingly well. lol.

My favorite brand is Talenti gelato. Their pistacio and their vanilla bean gelato is so amazing. I tried their limited edition pumpkin pie gelato and it was really good *drool*

Yes!!!

Median and mode are useless!! lol.

What show is it?

Anorexia is not a size, it is an eating disorder. That being said, what the OP probably means that at what particular body type people prefer to be at considering if they have a lot of fat on them or very minimal fat on them. Although, not all people who are anorexic are rail thin. Also, I am at a 5 and want to be at a 3.…

Nothing in your list is really "bad" for you to it. I totally understand about not having time and having to skip meals. You can make it up by eating a little more at other meals. Also think about any snacks you can bring with you while your on break at work or traveling between jobs. You can bring carrots, celery, apple…

Second that idea!

That looks like a very healthy breakfast to me. Is the list two different breakfast options? Depending on how much you exercise a day, it might be too much food for one meal. An example of minimizing it to one meal would be to have the oatmeal, brown sugar, strawberries, and bacon. You already have wheat from the oatmeal,…

Thanks Mike! I will definitely look into all the fitness gadgets you recommend.

You can add me. The problem may be how quickly you are trying to lose weight. The quicker you lose the weight, the more likely it will come back. One of the reasons being is that part of weight loss is developing solid, good habits. Most of weight loss knowledge comes from the journey getting there.

Everyone. Instead of feeding the troll, flag her. The more people that flag her the sooner she'll be kicked off of this site.

There's a troll in the dungeon!!

Eskimo Mark: When I was thinner I definitely got more looks from guys. I have had guys comment on my acne before, about my hair style, about my clothing style. There are some guys that are more picky and some guys that are less picky. I know men who are severally obese and are happily married. If all women are superficial…

Yeah. There are plenty of superficial guys in the gay community. I have gay friends to talk about it all the time. "I'm only interested in ______." It depends on the individual, not their sex or what their sexuality is.

Wooooowww.... There are many different types of users in the world. Maybe you should look at what you look for in a girl and what types of girls you are persuing. There are nice women in the world. Are you looking over the nice girls? Is there something about your personality rather than your looks that are detracting nice…

Eskimo Mark: There are also men who are very shallow. The thing is that there are nice men and women out there who care more about personality and a person's values rather than their looks. There are shallow men and women who expect a perfect looking person. I don't know about you, but I prefer to have friends and to go on…

It sounds like when you are more likely to emotionally overeat when you are feeling really tired. Is there any way to lighten your load during the weekday? Also, there are some treats that are not as bad such as peanut butter and apples. It's about connecting food as a comfort and stress reliever. Instead of food as a…

I really like the 'Elements Pilates for Beginners weight Loss' DVD that I've been using.
