With my first serious boyfriend, I was in the same boat as you. He could not seem to get it into his head that I'm only 5'2" AND fine-boned AND female- the holy trinity of having to eat less than most people and still be healthy and free of any eating disorder. As obvious as it seems to us that a certain size and amount of…

I was a "softcore" bulimic, meaning I would so light binges (usually nothing more than 800-1000 cals) and then purge, but this was only a few separate sessions a week, so I ate normally 75-80 percent of the time and kept that intake in. Because of my being a light bulimic, I would be able to go for weeks without binging…

Could it be that you feel pressure to eat and drink like everyone else around you on weekends because you feel like you'd be socially awkward if you didn't? I know that this would be the number 1 culprit when I was younger. If simply saying that you are watching what you eat doesn't seem to go over well (which is…

Ignore some of those hunger pangs! Those are just your body telling you that if you don't eat, it will start using your fat storage for energy, which is what you want! I promise you that when you wait through those hunger pangs, they will go way gradually or eventually and not get stronger and stronger, but up to a certain…

5'2" here. And, my lowest weight as an adult was 114 or so that I know of. I've never been 110 or below, which is what I am aiming for now as something permanent! I have mostly been in the 120's and 130's. Now, I'm in the high 120's. What I'm doing differently? 1.) Being consistent with diet and exercise and not coming up…

Yeah, aesthetics in terms of my body is like an art project to me, but it affects my confidence in other things as well. Having the kind of discipline to whittle and chip away at my body to an optimal point for me would spread into other areas in my life and is something I value on its own, but it would help manage other…

I've got to get used to the speed that the threads move on this site! Well, it's great that you're still working at it and still got it in your 60's. :)

Was given the choice to eat a dead and decomposing human body or his own arm and he chose neither and starved to death.

@bruhaha007 No problem, I like to be brutally honest if it helps others. I mentioned these as the true reasons of why I failed and failed again along with others. I'm wiser now after trying to reach my goal weight for the 100th time (haha) and stay there.

In my experience of yo-yo dieting and talking with others about it, here are the reasons point-blank: 1.) They do it only to impress certain individual(s) and minimally for themselves and when those individuals move on, they lose motivation because there is no one left to impress and they are not interested in impressing…

Does anyone with similar weight loss goals want to be my text diet buddy? and Skype occasionally? I've got my workouts down, but my diet needs a lot of work and is hella more important. We can count calories together, persuade each other to turn the other way when offered junk, tell each other our problems, etc.!
