I know this thread is old now, and I don't want to bump a dead thread - but thank you all so much for your support :') I really, really appreciate it.

I'm sure he is, I've messaged him with an apology - I took his comment as criticism, when really I was just feeling defensive because I'm new here. It was a good question for him to ask. Thank you, friends are always great!! Perhaps the support system is what I've been missing from my previous attempts, I haven't really…

Thank you!! It's good to hear that I'm not alone with eating problems on here. Makes me feel less weird 😊 That's a good idea! I've set an initial small goal, and I was gonna write out some others, too. I'll do that now.

Thank you, and thanks for the follow! ❤️ I really appreciate the support on here

Hope so! 😊

Thank you! :D

Thanks!! I want to stick to it this time :)

Sorry, I read your reply as somewhat of an attack. Glad to hear it wasn't meant that way.

I spoke to my doctor and she recommended calorie counting. Thanks for the welcoming and supportive reply. 🙄

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, makes sense!

Thanks!! Great diagram. Yeah, calories are my main focus by far, but I'm intrigued by macros as I never paid much attention to them before!

Yeah, I figured the calories out first, and I'll be keeping an eye on how they work for me over the next six weeks or so. I'm an old hand at calories, though, and I've never really tracked macros before! You're right, though, I can tweak it as I go. No need to be perfect right away :) Thanks!!

Yup, read it thoroughly!! It was this paragraph that made me think I should come and ask for more detail: "Also, at a high BF%, the fats recommendation can be decreased. If you have specific questions about this, please feel free to ask us for our input." It made me think that maybe I should be decreasing my fat…

Like I said, I've had eating disorders in the past, and sometimes counting calories has sparked me into stupid actions like fasting for a month, as happened earlier this year. I've also failed many times while attempting to lose weight over the past few years, due to binge eating disorder; so I'm nervous about either…
