  • 34+ weeks and 18- 20 pounds. 5'7. I weighed 160 pounds the day I tested positive and weighed 174 two days ago (179's been my highest.) My eating ranges from 1500-2200 a day, I probably average around 1800. I feel like I could have done better in a lot of ways. I was looking to only gain 20 pounds, but that obviously won't…
  • Xanax. changed my life forever. It doesn't make you useless, just very, very calm.
  • Two big Macs and a large fries, along with Coke and an apple pie. I was in eighth grade, played lacrosse, and probably weighed about 200 pounds then. I'd eat them as if I were starving. It's like puberty forgot I was a girl and gave me the eating urges of a teenage boy :|
  • Insecurity is the name of the game and a big part of it, I think.

  • So true. I started my WLJ because of a really low blow comment made by my SO during an argument (he said, among other things, that he found sex with me repulsive because I was fat.) It'll stay with me forever, honestly. Now I've lost about 50 lbs. He didn't notice till I was 40 down and now complains that I'm too skinny…

  • 5'7, 155 lbs (on a good day :smile: ) US 10 pretty much across the board, the occasional 8.
  • Was 24 years old at the time, worked in retail with a 38-year old biker/musician father-of-three-with-semi-crazy-baby-mama. He raved pretty much every night, smoked like crazy, took 'shrooms at work. Every conversation with this guy was incredibly surreal. His idea of a pick-up line: "If I were high right now I'd *bleep*…
  • Oh, dear God. Over 3000 calories over has been my zenith, I think. I tend to get in a nearly mini=panicked state where I just pack in everything in sight, whether or not I really want it. I have issues with binging too, which I'm sure is part of it. Now I try to make a conscious effort to plan; I also have avoided…
  • Thank you all for the advice. I had no idea these calorie counts weren't gospel!
