Hi, you obviously don't understand how binge eating works. I'm in a similar position to you OP. I had been maintaining for about 2 years when some anxiety issues started me on a serious pattern of binge eating that I'm still trying to get a good hold of. I do find it's easier/ less risky just to "eat clean" and say no to…

My sister still "holds a grudge" against my ex for one callous comment about our dead cat lol, so I do get you but so what? Adult people can know negative things about a person and be able to rationalise that with the actual person who they interact with in real life. Maybe you have particularly protective friends, I don't…

I actually disagree very strongly with this "don't talk to your friends about marriage problems" thing. Sometimes an outside perspective from someone who knows you both is incredibly valuable. If your friends/ family thinks your partners behaviour is horrific then maybe it is? Particularly in abusive relationships, abusers…

Last time I did white fish I had it with green veg and spiralised sweet potato (roasted with a few sprays of oil, cayenne, paprika, s+p). I made the sweet potato into a little nest and popped an egg yolk in there for the last 5-7 mins of roasting which was delicious but it's still good without! Gnocchi and pesto is another…

I like the dress #unpopularopinion

Alternative flours. For some reason I expected chickpea flour or lentil flour (or just ground up red lentils) to be lower calorie than plain old wheat but nope, they're basically the same! Obvs the lentils and chickpeas have more protein and different nutrient profiles so I do still prefer baking with them but still!…

Even if they do harm at all I am just ethically opposed to the marketing of unproven and largely unregulated medications. Particularly for "my disease" if you know what I mean. Just because you've had no reaction means nothing, there could have been no cross contamination, there could have been but not enough to cause a…

There is no real evidence that these pills do anything. They are specifically not marketed to celiac sufferers because if they were the manufacturers would have to prove they work. A real celiac diagnosis also flags up for your doctors to be on the lookout for associated long term problems in the future like bowel cancer,…

@workinonit1956 lol great minds!

Just fyi: if you want to be tested for celiac disease you have to continue eating gluten until you are tested by your doctor or the test doesn't work. It will return a false negative if you have already stopped eating gluten. This also affects a diagnosis for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and wheat allergies as celiac…

There is one man who followed me around the gym 4-5 times over a few months. He would use the machines next to me or just generally be close by way too often to be normal and is the only person so far at that gym to interrupt my sets to ask stupid questions (my answers got shorter and less polite every time). I do consider…

When I quit a few years ago my lungs got worse before they got better. The first stage was almost clearing out all the built up phlegm and grossness and after that they could start to heal but it's a gradual process in my experience, that you probably won't notice at all day to day, especially if you keep up the running…

You get quite a lot of volume out of one banana when you blitz it so for the amount of "ice cream" you get there can be a significant calorie saving compared to dairy, even taking account of the peanut butter. I personally don't use peanut butter but with additional frozen fruit, some unsweetened cocoa, instant coffee or…

Gluten free porridge oats are a decent product, not that dissimilar from the regular kind. They're overpriced like all gf products but what can you do. There are plenty of supermarket own brand gluten free cereals these days too, and even some big brands (on top of what cereals are naturally gluten free like rice krispies)…

I'm just coming off the same; a whole week of compulsive over-eating and ignoring logging after almost three yearswith no real significant bumps. I wish I could have as positive an attitude about it as you! Getting caught in a binge-restrict cycle is so hard to break out of

Pop your own popcorn? 40g of unpopped kernels is about 150kcal, plus 40kcal for a tsp of oil in the pan (you really don't need more) and it gets you a pretty big serving. I salt mine, or use calorie-negligible spices like garam masala, onion salt, cayenne pepper etc.
-
Terrible advice, soy sauce is not gluten free. Thai you can maybe get away with but you still need to be careful. I have ceoliac and I eat a lot of rice based (risotto and paella) or potato based dishes with a protein and vegetables. Gluten/dairy free pasta is sometimes rice-based so that might be another option for you.

MFP calculates sedentary as under 10k steps a day, do you know how far you'd go walking your dogs? You can put in for example 30 mins walking, easy pace from the cardio database to account for it. You won't get much but it's something (and you should probably double check with another calculator since sometimes exercise…

Replacing a binge drinking problem with a binge eating one. The liver and overall health is probably better but there are fewer calories in two bottles of wine than what I can get through on a bad binge these days.

Keep doing exactly what you're doing now if it's working for you except add in some more calories? I agree about adding in more protein if you want muscle building. It might be you just up your current protein portion sizes, easy peasy. As for maintenance advice, pick a sensible range that you want to maintain within, not…
-
This is a bit tongue in cheek, but have a glass of wine? If the problem is your brain is buzzing from the exercise then slowing it down a bit with some booze might work!
-
If your goal is weightloss then whichever one fits best into your calorie goals. Skimmed milk isn't something that has anything added to it, just fat (and therefore calories) removed.
-
You are the only one with responsibility for losing your weight. Relying on someone else to push you isn't fair to the other person and is doomed to fail eventually. You need to do this for yourself. Work out your reasons for losing weight and and think about how they outweigh the reasons not to. One reason might be so…

Why out of all the vague "digestive problems" to choose to try and back up your woo did you choose ceoliac? It's not even a digestive problem, it's an autoimmune condition with symptoms that can present as digestive problems and can't be caused or cured by dietary changes.
-
I'm at a pretty good spot right now mental health wise but I have been where you are too. I almost had to trick myself into doing things like packing a gym bag before bed, having gym/ running clothes laid out, lunches all planned and pre-prepared so by the time it comes to DO the thing it would almost be as much effort not…

I think that's a personal judgement call. I know I'm burning more than 140kcal an hour doing fairly heavy lifts (heavy for me anyway lol) from judging how tired/ hungry I am later say in comparison to a quick 20 min run that I would get the same calories for. So I know the MFP estimate is conservative for what I'm doing…
-
I overeat when I'm anxious, I seriously overeat (to the point of discomfort) to punish myself for anxiety-eating and make it so that I have to be perfect and over-restrict the rest of the week to make up for it. I overeat because once I decide that I've ruined the day anyway it feels hedonistic and "naughty" and the human…

I'm sorry, what? Increased testosterone can increase sex drive but it doesn't chemically remove all sense of social boundaries.

You are not taking it too seriously at all, it is incredibly gross and something of a known issue. Report the messages and block them seems to be the only solution. It is truly pathetic behavior.
