Any chance you could link me to her? :)

Not sure if a hit at me or not. :p But I do, yes. Generally once a month now.

Great job! Congratulations mate. :3 Looking dapper!

Ahh, yes! This is exactly it. >.< Even as I eat my brekky now, I'm just thinking, "Oh, oatmeal, that's very caloric, 1/2 a cup..."

Hey, cheers for the response! When you say you went through my profile, do you mean my MFP profile, or just the question? :) It's not necessarily an effort to log in my foods. The issue for me is prior to calorie counting, I already had a bad relationship with food through an eating disorder. I'm well recovered from that,…

Most of my meals are home made. ;) But in response, it's not necessarily a time consuming matter, it's a thought consuming matter. In simplified terms, I see a number, rather than a meal. For me, that's an unhealthy mindset.

This comment all the way! Thank you. :) I come from a disordered eating background (Bulimia), so my relationship with food was already terrible. Looking at food as numbers was great at the start, but lately I've been enjoying food less because that's all I can see- A number, not a beautiful meal.

Hey, cheers! I know what you mean, when you think you've gone a bit overboard and want to know how much you've consumed. >.< I still log in recipes and some restaurant meals. :)

I started this thread as I wanted to know others experiences, and others who are in the same boat. There's nothing wrong with curiosity.

Thank you. :) I have gone from being overweight, to underweight through an eating disorder, and now at a healthy weight through recovery. I guess i started counting because I was afraid of being overweight again. Why did you start? :)

Wow, I love this idea! It's fun, but it's a mindful approach. Thank you. :)

I have two! When I flex my arms, I have a little bump from all the boxing I've been doing! :D And I can run a longer distance than January! I can't really describe the distance, but...it's long. :P Ahaha! Congrats everyone! <3

Wow! What did you eat, if you can remember?

Dayum girl! My boyfriend is Italian and I remember spending Christmas with him and his massive family. I reckon I ate more than him that day, ans to top it off, I polished mine and his parmie for dinner after!

Ahhh, me everytime.

How did you break from the cycle?

Ohmygod, that looks <333

I'll try and post it under this forum. >.>

I pretty much refuse to have anything with salt, or with added salt (Soup stock being an exception). I have dairy...maybe twice a week, three times? A glass of milk, or a scoop of Greek yogurt. Or a little cheese?

Just had a little episode myself of binging. I'm with you. Don't worry. Tomorrow is a new day. :)

I think you may be onto something actually! :open_mouth: I was hit by a car last year and it impaired my back greatly. I think I may look into that. I'd say my fiber intake is relatively high. I eat a mostly veggies, legumes, fish. Soup. <3 Eggs. I'm picky about grains however. I've never enjoyed bread, or pasta. I used to…

Honestly, I think it may be you stressing out that is causing you to plateau and not lose weight.

I'm far from sedentary, and drink plenty of water. I also love fat. :3 My problem with my bowels is due to the abuse of laxatives in the past. I've never liked coffee. :L I'm scared of becoming addicted to caffeine, aha. Although I drink a lot of green tea, which I've heard is stimulant? Do you know of any other caffeine's…

Oh, I hadn't realized you could open the diary out! Hang on. :)

Congrats on the 90 down! :) Exercise can take a bit to get into. The best thing to do is try a variety of different workouts, routines or classes and stick with something you find enjoyable. I used to despise exercise, but later joined a group fitness class. Everyone in there were so motivating, and it was so much more fun…

Sending motivation your way. :)

Hey everyone! Thanks for your warm and kind words. They actually made me feel a bit better today. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one, you know? And I like the idea of getting creative, as a distraction! Just tonight I started drawing again. :3 Thanks again guys! Keep going. Xx

I had a dream about Maccas Hot Cakes which was bit of a teenaged routine of mine following a heavy night! :p. Completely understanding!

I like the way you work it!
