I weighed in last night but forgot to enter it here! 3/26/12 - 147lb.

Ok. Thank you! I've definitely been thinking about investing the time and money into a "proper" fitting . . Looks like it would definitely be worth my while. Thanks again!

I know this feeling all too well! Why DO we do it when we know we're going to hate ourselves after?! I'm wondering if it's a catalyst for something else, somewhere else in our lives we feel we're not measuring up and it manifests in our "relationship" with food? I don't know! It is so immensely discouraging though. Try to…

Lunges, interval sprints, hill running. Pilates and yoga help slim and tone those areas as well.

^^This lol.

This happens to me a lot too. I feel like I'm already doomed to fail so then it just ends up happening. I guess I just give up on myself. :embarassed: Other times I literally don't know "why" I do it . . . I try to figure it out and literally ask myself "why are you doing this right now?" and I don't know what to answer.…

Yes welcome! You've come to the right place! Everyone in this group is AH-mazingly supportive! :smile:

Oooh you are sooo right! I often find it difficult to make the distinction between an actual binge and just “I ate more than I intended”. I beat myself up equally over either but I think I need to realize that when I do eat more than I intend but I’m able to STOP before it becomes a binge, that is a small victory in…

Greekygirl weekends seem to be easier for me as well. I think the idleness of sitting at my desk all day during the week just makes me want to snack, snack, snack. :frown: I’ve also noticed the same thing about how my body feels after I’ve been eating healthy for a while then I give it a bunch of crap. It doesn’t like me…

It took me YEARS to seek out a professional. I was dealing with the depression and the anxiety piece via meds but I was unwilling to admit to anyone about the binge eating part. I did see a therapist a couple of years ago and attempted to broach the subject but she was a terrible fit for me. I literally left her office…

Welcome, Welcome! I don’t know if my account helps at all but for whatever it’s worth . . . I have been diagnosed with BED and depression though at separate times. They compound one another though it seems that the binge eating has more of an effect on the depression than vice versa in my case. My depressive tendencies…

IKR is "I know right". Sorry, stupid text slang. I'm aware of the online OA and EDA meetings . . . the online aspect of them doesn't work so much for me unfortunately and to be completely honest i've been too chicken**** to show myself at the live meetings in my area. :embarassed:

^^THIS^^ I pretty much always wear black on black on black but it's not about matching it's because I'm too self concious to wear color lol. Black doesn't show how much I sweat (which is a LOT) as much. The usual for me is capri running tights with running shorts over them (because I'm self concious about my butt and…

IKR?! Me too. :frown:

Good thought! :heart:
-
Struggling big time the last 2 days. :frown: I was binge free for 15 days. I thought I'd gotten to a really good place then I let myself have a couple of big beers and some bar food with friends on wednesday evening which led to an awful binge later that night. :embarassed: I've had incessant munchies and been giving in to…

I'm having this same problem! :grumble:

Yes. Assuming you listed “sedentary” or “lightly active” (I don’t remember the exact terms . . ) in your initial profile, your calorie total is calculated before exercise calorie burn is added into the equation. Thus your calorie deficit already exists (before any exercise is listed) if you filled out your profile…
-
I think I've had all these thoughts you've all posted! :embarassed: In some ways I almost dare myself to give in to a binge because I expect that I’m going to fail and give in. I challenge myself not to knowing full well that I’m going to give in then when I do it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and an affirmation that…
-
Yes . . The "pretending to be normal" part. . . . Nobody knows what's going on behind the scenes. I've tried to talk to my husband about it but I can't quite bring myself to explain what I actually do. The binges are always in secret, usually in my car on the way to or from somewhere and I throw away all the "evidence". He…

5'7", 140 . . 6/8 jeans or a 9 in juniors. I was "blessed" with a j-lo booty and the widest hips in the history of wide hips. Last summer I was being fitted for a bridesmaid dress and get this, my bust and waist measured for a size 4 dress . . . my booty/hips measured at a 10! :noway: How's that for pear shaped! :grumble:
-
Yes . . . :frown:
-
Thank you both for this^^! It's good to know there are others out there that struggle in the same fashion as me. It's also heartbreaking because I know how much every one of you hurts. :( Binge eating and a vicious binge/starve cycle is something I struggle with daily and I have finally sought the help of a therapist with…

So exciting and inspiring! Way to go!! :drinker:
-
^^ This! Intervals with varying incline settings and speeds are great too.
-
Yes! Only by a couple pounds but it makes me feel so HUUUUGE!! He's 3 inches taller than me but he's naturally thin and has a crazy fast metabolism. He actually has to make a conscious effort to gain wait. :grumble:
-
Ugh me too! :(

Crossing the finish line of your first half marathon . . . Then jogging 3 more miles back to the car cause you didn't want to wait for the shuttle bus :tongue:
-
^^^^ THIS THIS THIS THIS I can't help but compare myself to EVERYONE I see and when I see someone who I think might be about my size I automatically start scrutinizing every little detail on them. It's not really about THEM though it's about ME . . . others are a mirror for how I see myself and I find myself inadvertently…

^^ This was my fav too!!
