I also want to add that I appreciate any concern, I do. I'm not just looking to follow some holistic guru, or trend, or workout. I was legitimately asking for the experience of others on such a topic as cravings to indeed get all the facts and to be better informed. I have known some individuals who have tried various…

@COGypsy yes, you’re right. I appreciate your honesty and insight. I have been to therapy who suggested I change my work environment (because it is highly toxic and stressful) and join a community such as MFP and Overeaters Anonymous to gain support from peers. I also tried an antidepressant that helps binge eating which…

@TavistockToad @jjpptt2 @RoxieDawn you are all right. I am absolutely desperate and looking anywhere for an answer. Thanks for opening my eyes. I won’t seek a nutrition miracle from an acupuncturist. Probably will save me a good amount of money too. I know it has to come from deep within me. I guess right now in my life, I…

I absolutely agree with @iamthemotherofdogs and myself, I am going to stay away from sugary foods just how I stay away from cigarettes and alcohol.

And what @HeatherTudor said are the advice I needed to hear right now. So glad @chelseascounter you got over the binge and got to your healthy weight. I am praying each day to get to mine! Right now, I am eliminating “red light foods” just like @kommodevaran mentioned, it’s better to not buy the foods at all that are…

@Noel_57 @michellesilverleaf @fuzzipeg @corinasue1143 I want to thank you very much for your insights and support! My first experience was pretty wonderful. A navel piercing may seem like a benign adornment, but my new acupuncturist strongly suggested that this is not a healthy or safe practice for the flow of healthy…

I thank you all so much for your insights and support! I went to an acupuncturist today who is also a doctor. She recommended intermittent fasting, water fasting, and the Cellular Healing diet which is basically a Keto diet and to get rid of all the “red light foods” like @roxiedawn reminded me. @TavistockToad I felt…

I just purchased this. Thank you so much!

Your insights and support are so very helpful to me. @carvedtones I don’t judge you on your issue. I am a psychiatric nurse actually, and totally empathize with what you’re saying. I know that the way I am feeling is a combination of biologically who I am and also has to do with the toxic work environment, where I live…

You just helped me so much. It makes perfect sense. I went about my day, got out of the self-pity, and will keep on going. Thanks it not enough!

Yay! @joan6630 so proud of you! I am going to weigh myself tomorrow. I really don’t understand that either and have to remind myself that there will be no “off” days during the holidays because it will kill my progress. Great job. Keep moving on! Today’s goals: 1. Do not binge no matter WHAT! 2. Track everything HONESTLY…

I’m sorry you had to experience that too. I especially chuckle at the fact of people who are adamant that we do not know our own body and must be pregnant. I had this happen to me a few times this year. Like you, I have gained about 30lbs in a year from emotional eating and depression. My patient said I was pregnant. My…

I love coconut macaroons. I have to find a new recipe that’s better for me and I’ll post it.

I really love this thread and everybody’s contributions. I can only say that while I have a way to go, what’s motivating me not to give up is I do not want to ever have my weight be a topic of conversation ever again. The fat comments just were enough. I do not want hear it anymore! I do not want my weight to be an excuse…

@Bex953172 thank you for your thoughts, friendship, and prayer! I hope you are okay? Is it okay for you to take opiate based medication right now? Please be careful and check with your doctor. I totally agree that weight loss is actually about the in-between not even the numbers. I am really trying hard to stay strong.…

Very overwhelmed at home. My mother is suffering in pain- her knee. She can’t walk. We are waiting for her surgery. We scheduled it for January 10. Please keep us in your prayers. She is my best friend. My everything. I almost binged tonight because of it. I came home from work, drained. I am a psychiatric nurse. My…

I agree with these posters. I haven’t binged in 7 days by fitting in what I like into my calories. I even lost 5lbs! You can do it too. I tried the one “free” day. It never worked. I gained weight and it turned into multiple days. I really appreciate this community and the MFP app. Haven’t been 7 days really free in a long…

@livineleanlivingclean how do I figure that out? I tried looking under the Nutirition tab but couldn’t figure it out. I guess if about 30% of 1200 is 360. I think 35% would be about 420 calories. Probably like 40 grams of fat per day.

Wow. I just love that you shared this. I just heard this watching a show called The Big Fat Truth. The mind is the biggest muscle. And where the mind goes, the body follows. I am truly trying to separate myself from things I cannot change, changing what I can. Just for today, I did everything I set out to do except look at…

I really appreciate all of the suggestions! Donuts will be great if it fits into my daily calorie goal. Very funny! I am going to try the Miralax and Vitamin C for now. I agree about my fat intake. I have been eating a balanced intake of 30% carbs 35% fat and protein. I think it’s because I did drop my calories from when I…

Today’s goals for me: Track everything Do not binge no matter what I have to do Windex bathroom Check paycheck and not be afraid to

I am going to read all the responses later on. I am going to work. Keep me in thoughts for the courage to tell my boss about my leave coming soon. My goals for today: 1. Log everything and eat within my calories 2. Do everything in my powers not to binge 3. Have the courage to tell my boss what I need to say 4. Keep my…

Hi, I am feeling so stressed about because my Employer passed a very disturbing comment about my need for a leave of absence with my mother. My mother is going in for knee surgery and I have to take time off to be with her. My union rep. said she was ‘afraid what they could do next’ and whatever that is supposed to mean. I…

@cschmitz110515 you’re doing wonderful! Hello to everyone who is in the group! Please add me as a friend if you’d like to stay in touch with more accountability. My commitment and goals for today: 1. Do not binge no matter what (delay gratification, drink water, go to bed, walk away, come on here, think about goal) 2.…

I’m just going to fit it into my daily calorie goal and exercise. I like the idea of fasting also. I find if I were to eat more one day, generally the next day I’m not as hungry.

That’s fantastic. Can you please explain in more detail?

I get that. I just was not sure if Imgur was affiliated with MFP and automatically synchs to arenas outside of these forums without members knowing.

Recipe please. Thank you. Sounds so delicious!

You have all inspired me to not be ashamed of volume meals. Thank you! I love to add zucchini noodles and stir fry vegetables to everything. This hit the spot.

Hi everybody! I just finished a four day streak of not binge eating! The problem occurs when I am at work though. The people I work with have been driving me to eat. But I can’t use that as an excuse anymore. Until I get out of there, and have a new place to work, I just have to keep my focus on my target goal weight.…
