Welcome Michelle & Norah. It took me a few times reading your post Norah...I thought, 5'8" and 134...I do not think you have the right group! :laugh: Wouldn't that be something!? I think you will see, a lot of us suffer from binge eating...post away..

Wait.. hold up..Maurices has plus sizes? That used to be my favorite store when I was thin! I must check it out. As y'all have heard me talk about my yo-yo'ing so much, I don't stay in one size long enough to invest in my clothes, so I am very cheap. I stick to walmart and wear them out in a season. Except work pants. I…

Good Morning everyone! Julie, you are going to do great at your conference. No icky Danish for you. Blech... I hear they put boogers in them.. that's what I hear anyways. :tongue: Feeling so much better today then on Monday. Just not as dark and moody. Hope I can keep that up the rest of the day and week. :heart:

Then I am a binge eater too. I can match your loaf of bread and raise you a pack of bagels! Plain, don't even have to cook 'em! (Takes too long) I binge at night because I used to get so anxious I needed that stuffed feeling to go to sleep. Then sleep for an hour or two and start all over again..and again and again. Has to…

Yes, I think it is obviously like you posted... the extra additives and stuff. Plus, I think some people just have some chemical imbalance to begin with that makes them sensitive to the high/lows. Like you said, dopamine. I just can't get enough dope!!

That is so COOL that you get to have that kind of attention/service for $15 a week PLUS it is covered by insurance. How low calorie is it though? Why can't they just put you on a 1200 calorie? Did they tell you the reason for it?

:laugh: I actually make my husband and daughter a full spread breakfast every weekend. That is why you will see some breakfast in my diary, especially on weekends. You will see me sneak some bacon in here or there. It's because I eat their's while I am cooking It is meant for them, but holy cow, the smell. Yeah, it is…

YES! For me it is motivation now. I just can't get motivated to start. I can get a house clean.. I take a lot of breaks and it may take me all day, but I can do it. If I know company is coming, I will dread it for a month, take a day off from work and plan to clean house before because I let it build and build and build…

I had: 3 oz Grilled Caribbean Jerk Chicken & Grilled Peppers and Onions (Left overs from last night) Yum! Pack of my daughters sliced Apples with Minnie Mouse on them. The reason I fell of the diet train this last time is my husband got a job with me where we work 2 cubes down, car pool etc. He is a fast food addict and we…

It's just a number hon.. Please don't let it define you! Remember, I started out over 400 myself! Right now, I have lost my scale in my walk-in closet of hell (Think Hoarders) where everything gets thrown when company comes to town, and I am determined not to find it. I am enjoying the freedom of no longer being a slave to…

Wow...honestly, I wasn't feeling so positive when I first came here, but that story made my heart swell. What an awesome woman! I am not much of a breakfast eater, I was going to try and force myself to start eating it, but I notice when I do, I am hungry all day long. I don't usually start getting hungry until 11:30 or…

Julie, your post makes me so sad. If your parents weren't trying to control your diet so much, maybe you would have come up with some of your own tools to manage it. Blarg.. Hate reading stuff like. I hope to never be that way with my daughter. It is one of my biggest fears, pushing all my weight/diet issues on her. Of…

I am posting from phone so forgive typos. Not sure about water. But way to go only gaining 2.6. I go away for a 3 day weekend and stay on plan for a day and a half and end up coming back 10lbs heavier. Every time.

I will say...having been on a few flights where the belt didn't buckle and I just tucked it under my shirt so they didn't see worked. Other times, they brought me an extender and was embarrassed the first time. The next time, I was pregnant so just asked for one right up front and used it as an excuse. Finally, when I had…

:drinker: Woo! Woo! :drinker: Way to go Julie!!

Oh Karen, I think I love you. Your love of live and self is simply amazing and something to be admired! I have no doubt you ARE truly adorable! :heart: As for your questions: Do you feel beautiful? - Sometimes - I am like you, I can look in the mirror when I am all made up and like what I see. I too think I am in a…

Good morning everyone! Hopeful is what you want to aim for! There is something empowering about starting fresh. Forget about failure. Just think of it as one day at a time and log log log. As soon as I put something in my mouth, I log it. Or pre-log.

I have fat German calves even when I am thin! You can see my pics, even in the little maid outfit picture, I couldn't find zip up boots that fit.

Wow, I never knew all these things bothered me as much until reading thru the list and going YES! YES! YES! We have a community pool we use every summer. I don't care, I will rock my swimsuit everyday...ok, not rock it, but I really don't care too much who sees me in it anymore, I am just going to enjoy myself. Funny how…

Also, I am so sorry that that happened to you and you are not getting the support you need. Everyone deserves to be acknowledged and loved on their birthday. I have no doubt you are an awesome person and that you have just hidden away for so long, you haven't made any friends in a long time. Internet friends are pretty…

You absolutely deserves this then!!

Thank you! I straight up have told my doctor, if I am not 100% on a diet, I am gaining. She just looked at me like I am crazy. I hope THIS time I can actually make some long lasting changes rather than go to extremes that don't last no matter how much I want it ALL off like...yesterday.

Hi, I am Heather. I am 36, 5'9. CW 315, HW 405. GW 160. - And I am the ULTIMATE YO-YO Dieter. Here is a history of my weight struggles. I copied it from my blog last year so it is kind of long and I will add on to it at the end because OF COURSE I gained weight after I lost weight last year and here I am again. --- I was a…

I cannot believe some of these stories you all had to go through, especially as children from the adults. That is so terrible. I had a few things that I still remember as an adult when I was a kid, mostly when I was around 9 and moved to a new school. My name is Heather so they would taunt "Heather isn't as light as a…

Having taken it myself, I wouldn't recommend it for you. You are not that overweight and do not seem like you have exhausted your other options. I actually have had my best results the good old fashion way, here. Just tracking and logging everything on here. It certainly will kill your appetite for a few months. But, the…

Hi Amy!! I was in a very similar situation. Right before I started MFP I had just moved 3000 miles from home to be with my now husband without knowing anyone and became so depressed, I rarely left the house. My husband is addicted to fast food. I soon took on his addiction and already being overweight, I put on about…

Say it with me....AWW!!! Isn't he just the cutest?

Is that a dude in a t-shirt and shorts behind you? :laugh: I think you look perfectly acceptable in an IT crowd. Had you not posted that picture, I wouldn't have thrown out the "jealousy" card, but I honestly cannot think it is anything else other than that. You have lost about 35lbs and look good! Whoever has a problem…
