I appreciate you taking the time to break everything down. I word things the way I did to simplify as much as possible. I honestly didn't want to bring up my childhood but since we were in conversation I decided to share. I am pretty well educated in biology and how the body works in part because of my ED journey and my…

I am sure someone will come across it and be inspired. I am sure you helped a lot of people. I can appreciate you "getting real" approach and I feel like I did that years ago. I am just confused as to what I said in my original post to make you think I haven't taken the steps you did, been 100% honest with myself. Also,…

I figured....its nice to be understood. ED's are super hard to work through....it's a total reprogramming of them brain. Thanks for understanding

Thank you. This was very helpful. I push pretty hard and my cardio is interval training. So it makes more sense now. Thanks

Thank you everyone for your comments. I set my goal back to .5lbs/week and am taking deep breaths. I swear if I drink anymore water or tea I am gonna burst. But I think this has been a combo of wanting to be swimsuit ready and stressing out that I might fall back into my eating disorder. Gonna try being a little more lax…

Thank you so much this was super helpful.

O....k....I guess in my question I wasn't clear. I did state that I workout daily and have been on this journey for years. I am totally committed and expressed my issue right now is my calorie intake. I have been using this app for about 6 years, especially when I am going through binge triggers. I have undergone…

I am pretty much where you are. However eating slowly and waiting 20mins has been hard since I kicked up my workout. I just wanted to see if my hunger was real or my binge problem. That's why I reached out

I eat all of those things. Most of the time they help but on the days I have a craving (usually due to how my brain is wired) it doesn't matter what I eat if I am not self aware, I can eat thousands of calories. When I was 197lbs I was up to almost 8,000 or more a day due to eating crappy. I don't keep any type of junk…

I haven't been losing i have been floating right around 170lbs for a year now. I haven't stopped working out but I got aggressive with it 14 weeks ago. Still haven't lost a pound. I maintain well, but am not losing so it has to been eating too many calories. So I got more aggressive with diet and I guess I am just…

I did reset today cuz I thought the same thing. I am just SOOOOO paranoid about taking two steps back you know? Been retraining my brain for years and getting a better relationship with food. I am lucky I never got over 200lbs...but I was 197lbs when I started all this 7 yrs ago and understanding food and nutrition has…

I said baby binge....not an actual binge. Trust me if I don't stop myself I can get in 10,000 calories!!! It is a slippery slope so I am very self aware. After a 800 calorie meal I am still not satisfied. I stop because I know better and I don't want to fall down that hole again. Same as how a smoker will stop smoking even…

It suggests 1630 cal/ week. I am 5'7" 166lbs. My goal is around 150lbs or a size 7 whichever works out best for my body. I am set to "active" on MFP. WEEKLY weightloss is set at 1.5/week. I eat back on occasion but it isn't daily however today even after working out I am still over. Measuring intake is usually per serving…

No not every day. I eat my limit 3 or 4 times a day, then 3 or 4 meals a week I over eat one. Trust me, I know 800 isn't a binge...that's why I called it a baby binge. However it is a slipper slope and I still don't feel good about it. Just seems harder to just eat my recommended calorie intake when I started working out…

No I eat good carbs too. Just mostly veggies.
