No it isn't. I do not have a mental illness so please calm yourself. I have been close to an eating disorder in the past, this was clearly stated earlier. I do not have an eating disorder currently and receiving minor therapy to sustain this (and I didn't have to tell you that either). it's rude to make assumptions about…

I am already doing this but thank you for your concern. I will definitely go into exercise as I don't want to eat fewer calories.

Nah I don't mind doing the work for it. :)

It really isn't your place to ask that question. I'm not on this forum to be investigated, I'm just asking for advice and have stated that weighing food is not an option due to past issues. I am very aware of what I am doing.

I already am. I am receiving minor therapy for the issue but thank you

Well they say the average amount a woman should consume is 2000 calories and eating 1200 surely won't give you all the nutrients your body needs?

Have you not read what I've been saying about my eating disorder? Thank you for wishing me luck, I am very keen on trying more exercise but I cannot weigh food.

I didn't get angry or reject gold advice. I had an eating disorder in the past and absolutely cannot weigh food and risk going back to that state. Thanks for your information however.I will have to increase my exercise and hope this helps.

Hi.I rarely snack but I try to eat as much protein as possible. If I do snack, it's nuts, fruit and the occasional bag of crisps (oops) i drink 1-2 litres of water a day

Me either. it's an obsessive issue for me, stemmed from my past eating disorder.

Oh gosh is that safe to eat that little?

Thank you!

Thank you, that's a great way of looking at it.I must admit I take the scales very seriously. I am a UK size 6 so yes US size 2 I think? I am pleased with my body but just obsessive about my weight. I am much better than I was :)

Thank you, yes I love my carbs, clearly one of the causes! I will be more careful!

I'm aware of that, that's why I'm asking for advice???

Yes I do.

Thank you I will do that!

How am I eating more food than is being logged if when I exercise, I still eat the same amount and not overeating because I exercised? Also if you have seen that post about eating disorders then you will know I cannot weigh my food as it will send me back to an unhealthy path and I mustn't risk it.

Thank you.for that, I will try that! I have been prone to an eating disorder in the past, I simply cannot risk going down that path again by weighing my foods meticulously but thank you.

Thank you for that. I might up my exercise. I can't be too strict with my food counting asit has promoted unhealthy eating in the past. Thanks though.

Yes. I do not have an eating disorder but have been very close to it so I must be wary. I am quite obsessive about losing these few pounds. I don't want to be underweight.

That's terrifying! I really can't weigh every single thing, it would definitely encourage unhealthy eating habit but thank you for that information

I haven't thought of that :) could you explain more? I would really appreciate it.

I am strict. If I meticulously counted and weighed every single calorie that would be extremely obsessive and not a habit I'm willing to start. I am strict within my limits.

My fat is at 20% and has been for 5 years. My BMI, my fat percentage and weight have stayed exact for around 5 years. Lol

I've been trying to shift these few pounds for 5 years lmao doing everything it says on the chart. Yes I did have IBS which caused me terrible bloating and sweeteners were to blame so cut out all fizzy drinks. I would love to know what I'm doing wrong. If I eat less than 1500 that would be dangerous.

I'm really not. I'm very strict.

I never take the calories off the exercise I do. I just eat 1500 no matter how much I've exercised and don't compensate for it. I also use the packages to know what calories I'm consuming, I rarely estimate. I don't weigh good usually because it's already been done. Pasta and. cereal are so I estimate.

Thanks for that but unfortunately I don't feel he explained that very well... In the way he says it, it looks like it's pointless for me to attempt to shift some extra pounds?
