I always get: Carrots Grapes Whole Pineapple (or other in season fruit)--I cut it up at the beginning of the week and then have fresh pineapple every day with no work :) Reduced fat Woven wheat crackers (Triscuits) Low-fat string cheese 1% milk plain low fat yogurt (great in place of sour cream, especially the Greek…

I too have a compulsive/emotional ED (bouts with anorexia and bulemia as well) and have been working with a therapist for about a year on sorting out WHY that's my go-to response to stress/anger/sadness etc. I agree, that figuring out your triggers is one of the key things. I recently noticed super clearly that when I'm…

I'm in the same boat, I honestly don't want to give up having a glass of wine at night. One thing I do that helps me with portion control is that I don't use wine glasses (we have the balloon glasses that are HUGE and can actually hold almost half a bottle of wine--we checked out of curiousity one time) so even if you only…

Maybe I can wean myself to every other day though, that…

I've suffered from binge eating much of my life and within the last year finally started seeing an ED therapist. She recommended I read two books, both of which are AMAZING and totally worth reading. They are: There Is Nothing Wrong With You by Cheri Huber Breaking Free from Emotional Eating by Geneen Roth The second…

So glad to read this, I was feeling really crappy about my .5-1 lb gain after working so hard the last week (on top of feeling crappy since my period is due to begin today or tomorrow). Healthy eating and exercise it is!

Maybe put it in a pillow case and run it through the washer (air dry over the shower rail). I've had to wash knee, elbow and wrist guards and as long as you put them in a pillow case before the washer, it works just fine. Febreeze works decently in between, but nothing beats soap and water :)
