Under/over eating is not about the food. An ED support group might be useful. MFP is great for tracking and awareness. I've been in your shoes.

That office food is soooo maddening...junkie food is interesting in that most of it is not my fav but when I really just must have what I love, I consciously include it into my day as long as I don't do it constantly or dishonestly.

2 years seems long but the last 2 years went by so fast!! MFP is a great tool for awareness. I also like The Psychology of Eating. It's online, YouTube, or podcast. Very insightful stuff. Keep on, one day at a time.

Be kind to yourself; one day at a time, & your spelling etc is fine.

My jeans. MY JEANS are expensive!! When buttoning them after holidays, they did not cooperate. We both knew who to blame so we are going to get that waist back. Besides, if I do this gain every holiday, it's not gonna be good.

Sorry about how you struggle with this; it does make life unmanageable. Admitting your problem is positive, and since you ask, find a local 12-step in your area, or overeaters anonymous. Binge eating is linked to other life struggles and can be overcome with great success. You are not alone. I go to a 12 step to help me…

You all are an amazing lot! Come to the north sea.

Since it seems confusing, and might not feel right to you, what I do is log what I eat so that I consume enough calories, THEN I log in my exercise. Of course, the numbers change, and I read that I can consume more if I want but for me, I do NOT want to do that because the science behind the method does not support…

My goal for the holidays was not (NOT!) To gain but 1 pound. On January 1st, on the scale I stood, and peeking down below was not only a 1 but a 9 (yes,9!!) pound gain. Enter myfitnesspal. My sister uses this with great success so that day I decided. And why not? All my homemade almond roca, fruitcake, cookie gifts, and…

Sounds yummy! I juice carrots, apples, celery, ginger, and citrus every two days (2 quarts) for family, and because I get lazy, I mix my juice in a jar with hemp protein and flax meal, shake & drink. On other days it's Vita-Mix time with frozen bananas & whatever else sounds good. Some days there's just nothing I like…

To love who I have, what I have, and to have fun.

So much said here, mostly positive; hope you have had time to read it all, and hope you find your groove soon. You have the desire and the obvious intelligence.

To want what I already have.

A lot said on this topic!! I'm a 58 year old woman who just wants to lose 9 pounds. I know what to do, myfitnesspal helps me do it, and I have never taken calories burned into account; I just figure my body knows best, and if I feel weak, an apple or a few nuts fixes me up just fine. The process is interesting, and I am…

It takes time to record what I'm eating but I like the organized process. Yesterday was successful enough; skipped the rice at the party, skipped drinking, avoided extras, which is why I have the extras on my small frame. Extras. Ugh! I like to eat. Of course. But I look around and see it is a good idea to use my stop…
