I'm 5'8" and the last time I was 117lbs I was suffering from anorexia. I'm 130lbs now and feel best around 125, but I find that when I'm consistent with my exercise routine I feel great no matter how much I weigh.

Peanut butter. I'm proud to say I've kicked my habit of eating spoonfulls out of the jar. Has anyone ever eaten their calorie allowance in Peanut Butter? I have!

I eat bananas all the time, and always with peanut butter (in oats, on toast).

When I had a FitBit Charge HR I found that it would count steps when I wasn't moving and simply just moving my arms around. It drove me nuts. I did love the sleep tracker. I eventually got an Apple Watch through my work, and I love it. I find that it's very accurate, and I love that it reminds me to stand up throughout the…

I visited a nutritionist who was very obviously overweight. I mean... Enough said.

I hear ya... I've gone over my goal the last two days. I do feel a bit lousy about it, but I'm not going to restrict myself today to make up for it. Try to eat under your goal, and maybe go for a nice long walk. You'll crash and burn on so few calories, even if you did eat over your goal yesterday.

Plain oats mixed with cinnamon and topped with blueberries, banana and peanut butter. So yum.

Swiss Chalet sent an email saying that they were retiring their Chalet Sauce for a new recipe! I felt actual anguish until I realized it was an April Fools joke.

I completed BBG last year and wanted to re-do the guides/start BBG2 but unfortunately I injured myself. You should join the instagram community - there are loads of lovely and supportive girls there :smile:

If I'm actually hungry, I eat!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. My family doctor had set up an appointment with me to see an Orthopedic Sugeon but not until AUGUST 31ST!! I was stunned when I received confirmation for the appointment. That's the Canadian healthcare system for you... I decided enough is enough and went to emerg…

I buy Libertè 2% plain greek yogurt and add berries and muesli to it. Switching to plain greek yogurt was seriously one of the best things I've done to up my protein intake!

Tuna on a whole wheat flatbread with veggies and sriracha sauce - yum!

I used to really enjoy Quest bars (especially after 15 seconds in the microwave) but then I kind of went off protein bars. I read a while later that the new recipe tastes like garbage. I admittedly have yet to try the new recipe (I signed up to receive two free bars in the mail a while ago, and am still waiting for them).…

I have struggled with disordered eating for 16 years (since I was 12). I initially used MFP to help me gain weight after my last relapse in 2013. I took a break from using it after I gained 15lbs as I did find it to be quite triggering, but I use it off and on to help me be mindful about my eating patterns. I think MFP can…

Are you hungry when you eat breakfast in the morning? I like to eat in the afternoon and evening, so I hold off on eating anything until I'm actually hungry (usually around 11am-12pm). The only time I forced myself to eat breakfast is when I was trying to gain weight. If you prefer to eat in the evenings, save your…

There's such a thing ss skinny Nutella spread?? Oh boy...

I'd probably barf if I ate before my morning workout! It just comes down to personal preference.

I hate the term "cheat day." Why does eating something you enjoy, like pizza, tacos and beer, have to be cheating? Why does eating some of my favourite foods have to carry such a negative connotation? Eat the foods you love, and eat proper portions, and you won't feel sick or awful afterwards. It can be done - trust me!

Lots of things, but I'll just list what I have at work now :blush: - Water - Instant coffee, which I drink black - Plain instant oatmeal - Chocolate protein powder (to mix into my plain oats) - Bananas - Plain 2% Greek yogurt - Honey - Granola - Some kind of bar (cliff, KIND, Luna, Nature Valley) - Baby carrots - Guacamole

I always said that I would try anything once, but when I was at a wedding and overheard someone say they put butter in their coffee... No. Just no.

I know when I'm hungry vs. when I want to eat because I'm bored/stressed out. That's not to say I've perfected resisting the urge to grab something just because I feel like eating, but there are definitely times when I think twice and opt to wait until my next planned meal.

I can't have a pack of gum with me or I'll chew it all. My solution is to just not keep gum in my purse/at my desk/whatever.

I juiced for 3 days once. At the end, I thought "wow, it's pretty cool that I finished a juice cleanse!" and "I would never in my life do that again!" And that was a cleanse where you ate a salad in the evening. Honestly I don't think juicing is very beneficial for overall health, but I'm not an expert.

I tried taking diet pills when I was in high school. They made me feel nauseous and even caused me to throw up a few times. Despite how sick they made me, I took them for 30 days. Not smart.

I do the same! Pop some Gilmore Girls onto Netflix and get 'er done! :D

If you're only looking for something to calculate calorie burn during workouts I would suggest a Polar HRM. I used to use the Polar FT4 and was very happy with it. When FitBit released the Charge HR I ditched my Polar because I wanted a device that would calculate calorie burn throughout the day. I was happy with my Charge…

Yesterday I made scrambled eggs with spinach, onions, sundried tomatoes, and garlic. Put half on a slice of rye toast and ate half on its own. Topped with hot sauce. Sooooo yum.

Leah Itsines has a recipe book with some vegan recipes... But I din't think it's a nutritional plan. From what I've read all of her recipes are healthy, if that helps.

Having an eating disorder does not make you an idiot. You're doing the right thing by seeking medical attention. Best of luck.
