  • Ditto to the folks who are also on the autism spectrum that agree with your assessment of your son that he may have no idea when he's hungry or full. Is he currently in OT? That really helped me with that issue. It's not even "normal" but I can at least tell if I'm starving, stuffed, or somewhere in between. So yeah I…

  • For me, there was a certain significance linked with the number. To be over that number meant something to me, so to move under it would mean something else....something I was afraid of/uncomfortable with. Now that I've figured that out and worked through it, I'm excited to get back down to the number so I can pass it once…

  • My mom is an eating disorder therapist - and yes this makes total sense to me. She talks about this kind of thing with her clients all the time. Also, I have a manager at work who is extremely hard working and dedicated. She says she comes in without breakfast, she drinks coffee (with sugar, but still) maybe twice during…
    in EATING MORE to LOSE WEIGHT!?! Anyone else had this experience!?!? Comment by rnewyn May 2016
  • They put their bodies in starvation mode. They basically acted in the same way someone with a severe, life threatening eating disorder would. The take away isn't "you can't move from obese to healthy", it's "don't treat your body like you're in a concentration camp and expect the change to last"

  • It works for me. I'm 26, 5'4", 245. If I eat 1500 daily, I don't even have to do daily "workouts" to drop weight. I lost a ton of weight before, but due to un related health complications I was hospitalized for quite a while and gained much of the weight back. I'm back with a vengeance now. I average out my calories…

  • How much was your starting weight? Have you ever watched biggest looser? The first week they always have huge losses bevause yes, a lot is water weight. Do you feel biologically hungry? Like you are restricting your body from what it needs? If not, you're fine :)

  • Therapy is super great. Shop around until you find a therapist you feel comfortable with. Just do a Google search on "eating disorder therapists" in your area. No, they do NOT want you to get fat!!! It's just talking, stretching your brain to see old problems in new ways, and learning skills to help you cope with life…
