You should eat what you like. But I have 3 options I rotate between. 1. Oatmeal with milk (because carbs) 2. 1 slice toast, 2 eggs, and 2 slices bacon (when I have time) 3. Breakfast biscuits with milk. (Because carbs)

I drink a lot more than 8. I drink a glass each hour. I don't know about the sciency health stuff and all, but I know drinking it like this makes me binge less.

Not physically. But it compensates for less food later on. When I started eating less again, I found it really hard to get full on 1200-1400 calories a day. Fast forward 2 weeks, and now I have to add in things that are more calorie dense because I struggle to meet that goal.

Oh, and also drink a glass of water every hour if you can. That helps me too.

My psychologist told me that I need to eat 3 meals and 3 snacks, every 3 hours. I binge because of carbs so she told me that I need to have some carbs at each meal/snack, so that my body has a steady supply all day. :)

An example of my day... Breakfast: 5 Egg white omelet with veg(160) Snack: Low fat yoghurt (175) Lunch: Chicken stir fry (100g chicken breast, 150g vegetables, some sauce) (323) Snack: Nuts (150 about) Dinner: Tuna sandwich 1 wholewheat bun (130) 1 can tuna in water (130) Cucumber (6) Tomato (10) Lite mayo (15) Tomato…

Low calorie, high volume food. Lots of water and liquids.

Also, I was only eating that little for 2 months, 4 weeks more than the OP. And I've gotten permanent damage from it. But the difference is I wasn't medically supervised I guess. I was being destructive.

Well I'm 5'2, 22yrs and I eat 1200-1400. It's hardly a VLCD. A vlcd is what I did years ago when my e.d was bad, which was eat 400-600cals a day...which permanently gave me low blood pressure and a bunch of other problems. I'm not into that kind of thing anymore, medically supervised or otherwise. But that's just my two…

Haha! Or maybe take the batteries out and put them in again.

It keeps saying 62.2kg. Honestly can it not just change to 62.1 or 62.3 or just do SOMETHING?! Gosh its been exactly the same for 3 weeks. How?! You want to tell me I have the same amount of poop in me that I had 3 weeks ago? ...

I don't know how to explain this : but I've gone about it like the NIKE slogan: Just do it. And that's what I do. I just do it and try not to think about it too much. I treat it like it's an every day thing.

I wouldn't know. I don't fast. Reinforces binging habits for me. I also have low blood sugar...which makes it slightly hazardous, because I pass out.

Also, they don't teach you life long habits to keep the weight off for good. Like so many other diets. You need to learn what a correct portion size is in order to keep it off for good.

Vegetables. I usually drown them in sauce to make them palatable. Or mash them like baby food. And I still hate them. But they are easier to eat that way.

For me, practising enough self control to NOT binge on 1000-2000 calories every night. :) I've done good! Been binge free for 2 weeks if I don't count the weekend! ;)

Eat real food. It'll sate your appetite better.

I usually tell myself out loud : "Be strong, and have self control." That usually helps. I'm getting desperate too. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't lost anything. On 1200. Yeah. I'm starting to think my scale must be messed up.

It means I wasn't allowed to use my muscles in sports. Of any kind. Ever. I haven't done any kind of sport since kindergarten. Nothing more strenuous than sweeping the floor at home. I had to sit on my butt most of the time studying. It also means I have much more fat than muscle. Always have. Always been overweight.…

To the beach. It's not in the us or anything so I doubt you will know if I said it's name haha.

Yeah well, the problem is, I do know how to swim, I just seem to sink like a rock every time I try. So I've got a bit of a fear of water. The nearest I'm getting to that ocean is walking with my feet in the water along the shore. ;) Best part I guess is the sand. You try walking 3 kilometres on that sand...heesh, my calves…

Life's too short for rivalries. I've never had a single fight with either one of my siblings. And they treat me better than I most likely deserve. :) my sisters parents GAVE me a car... (which I crashed up on friday...and they are not even angry...)

Haha I doubt that. No rivalry between us. I didn't actually mean to bring her into the conversation like that. It's just an observation I make every time I'm there.

I have considered that! But deguello is right. I wouldn't know because I'm not there all the time. I don't eat that way all the time myself. In fact I rarely ever eat out at all when I'm home.

Well I've been dieting on and off since I was 13. The last time I dieted for a year, in which I lost 43lb. And I sort of maintained that (I gained 10lb back), but I developed somewhat of a binging problem, which I seem to have under control now. So now I'm trying to get into a healthy bmi.

Well then I can't explain that. She's a programmer she sits around all day doing nothing. And that's the way she eats. I mean you can calculate for yourself how many calories that is if she eats that way each day.

She's a year older than me. 23

First of all.. I can't swim...haha... but other than that the best I have is a guess anyway. The restaurants we eat at doesn't have info on mfp. They aren't chains. They're local. So I'd still have to estimate on mfp.

Could be. I don't know how they eat if I'm not there. I only see how they eat when I am there. And my sister says she eats like that all the time. Because (and I quote) "I don't have time to cook for myself." So above all her pizza and burgers she also drinks about 8 cups of coffee with sugar and full fat milk, as well as…

Well then I don't know. I've been thinking of trying reverse dieting. But I don't know if it actually works or not. Maybe my metabolism is just in a bit of a slump.
