Depending on how low you restricted your metabolism could have slowed drastically. EDs mess our bodies up something crazy. Some when recovering have to eat 3,000 calories just to maintain while others gain weight just from a 500 increase. If going this alone, then the best I can say is give yourself a week. Increase to…

I think the feeling of fullness is foreign to us bulimics. Full = too full in our minds and automatically seems to turn on the urge to purge in in our brains. It is not an easy feeling to override. The best thing I've found is to try to find that spot to where I'm not hungry, but not full. Just kind of satisfied. You may…

The first time I lost the weight the last straw was a crush of mine's comment regarding cheerleaders. We were watching the super bowl and the Dallas cheerleaders came on. He commented on how hot they were and I realized that I looked nothing like them and would never get a hot guy if I wasn't hot myself. As many know I…

My hubby doesn't have to watch a morsel of food that he eats and only works out because he wants to be fit for work (he's law enforcement). He eats brownies and there is constantly snack food in the house. This used to drive me crazy, but I came to realize there is always going to be times where someone is eating something…

You really need more fat than that. The healthy kinds of fats from nuts, seeds, my favorite - avocado, etc. Eating such little fat you are likely to be hungry and send yourself into starvation mode. That high of protein can also be hard on your liver if it is meat protein. Where did you get your model from?

I don't "expect" anyone to say anything if I gain or eat rubbish. But some of my friends aren't just random people I met on MFP, but my best friend from growing up, my mum, a wonderful friend from Germany, etc. Some friends know of my previous ED issues and they love me enough to call me out when I'm failing. Yes I am…

It really depends on the quality of the tea. I don't buy into the "detox teas" necessarily, but I am a "loose leaf" only girl. The little sachets you buy at the super market are basically tea dust, the crumpled pieces of dried tea leaves the the loose leaf tea companies can't use. The packaging on tea bags is also not…

Yes, at this stage I do want a friend to yell at me if I'm stupid enough to eat a brownie. I'm a former/recovering bulimic and I am extremely likely to freak out after eating said brownie and throw up. Also from all my years in sports in high school and college my coaches were always the type to yell, not necessarily…

Hi Vicki, I made my diary public for that very reason. That way my friends can snoop and yell at me if I ate a brownie, or congratulate me if I ate a salad. (Or something along those lines.) I'd be happy to snoop on yours and you're welcome to snoop on mine. Just send me a friend request if you're interested.

Well blimey, I rather like that plan. Thanks Holly! :smile:

So I am one of those crazy people that didn't know this. I think the thought gets in your head that you're supposed to burn more than you take in, so if you still have 500 calories left over for the day, that's a good thing. I've actually felt rather guilty the couple times I did eat back some of those calories burned. So…

I started a little less than a week ago with a goal to lose 200 lbs. and just plain get healthy. I would also like to try to have a second child within the next couple years. I don't currently have a specific diet I am following. I'm Judy following the basics, eat less, exercise more. I am trying to go towards clean eating…

False but my husband does. TNP is not American.

I'm not a guy I'm afraid, but I am in Gainesville. If you still need someone to work out with let me know. I'm happily married with a 2 year old in case the wife asks. ;)

I had my first son just over 2 year ago at about the weight you are now. I gained quite a bit with the pregnancy and then gained afterward rather than losing anything. My husband and I would love to try for a girl before our son is too much older so I am losing weight in part so we can try for a second child. I'm also…
