Hahaha no, I suppose I was being a little melodramatic but that's honestly the way I've been feeling. I'm taking this as a learning experience. Actually though, reading your post made me laugh and makes me realize that this is not a huge deal. I tend to catastrophize in my head.

Thank you very much everyone. There are a lot of wise souls on MFP. It's sites like these that remind me how important, motivating and amazing support is. Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it.

An aesthetician recommended that I cut out dairy for a month and see how that affected my skin. I also was having breakouts on my lower cheeks and jawline. I essentially cut out dairy and it has really made a difference! It's worth it to try for a few weeks.

Oh Mondays. Not to minimize what you're going through but I notice that for about the first 3 hours of Monday morning I am basically in a subclinical depression as the body/mind shock from going from weekend to Monday mode is in full-force. I totally get the feeling down and what's the point. I think that's natural, and…

Thank you! This is just what I needed. Yes, 20 minutes is definitely doable. I'm on level 2 and I find it so hard! Thinking about it makes me anticipate how tired I'll be. I appreciate the support.

Murad acne system is great! I have very sensitive skin and it has not irritated it

You look.....ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Congratulations

Hey there, I can relate to the binge/diet cycle as I was stuck in that for a long time. I just wanted to clarify that this is a really tricky cycle to be in but one thing I've learned about really tough stuff to overcome is that action precedes motivation. What I mean is that, often people think, "I can/will want to do xyz…

I absolutely love this post! Thank you so much for your wisdom!

you look amazing!

You know what, I've never liked getting my picture taken. I think it's because I'm prone to taking really awkward shots for some reason. While I think it is somewhat of a confidence thing, I have noticed it gets easier to more frequently I do it. If I go a while without being in a picture, I notice it's harder for me to…

I agree with the compassionate approach and allowing flexibility in wardrobe. Yea, I think there are just certain tough days where I want to throw all of my clothes away. Thank you for your wise insight!

Arms and fast first and defo thighs last

Heya, I joined for similar reasons. Was never treated inpatient, but struggled with disordered eating (binge/restrict). Over the past 15 months, I have gained about 10 pounds, putting me at a healthy weight. However, a lot of the gain was due to eating whatever I wanted, which didn't feel so great. MFP has been really…

Hey there! Defo believe in supporting one another. Thanks so much for getting in touch with me. Please message me when you need support/motivation and I will do the same.

Heya, My heart goes out to you, I can relate to the eating/mental disorder battle. As one of the other members said, I think it is fairly common that the 2 go hand-in-hand. I've struggled with an eating disorder, as well as anxiety/depression. I understand that it can be a great struggle and a very frustrating one. You…
