First of all, if you are so hungry, then please eat. The best low calorie filling foods (in my humble opinion) are fruits and vegetables. You can eat pounds of veggies for very few calories.

My dream body? Sarah Michelle Gellar. My realistic body goal - just myself but smaller. There are no celebrity bodies that I actually think my body is meant to resemble, no matter what my weight gets down to. I think that it's okay for me to get inspiration from healthy and fit celebrity bodies, but it's not necessarily…

me: 5 the binge: 0 Still doing great in Feb.

I just got the app recently and I am loving that it gives you the option of weekly progress over just daily. Because that motivates me to go ahead and track on the days that I go over my calories, because I will more than likely still be under for the week.

me: 3 the binge: 0 On a roll!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I'm going to try again this month! me: 2 the binge: 0

I'm interning in Nashville and my live-in boyfriend stayed behind in Memphis! It sucks, but at least it's only a 3 hour drive and so far we've seen each other every weekend. Luckily it's only until some time in May...

Spice World Josie and the *****cats Romy and Michele's High School Reunion I just realize that all of these have one thing in common: Allan Cumming.

I refuse to give up anything that I like. But I especially will never give up diet sodas. Unless I want to. Which I don't...

I gained a lot of weight last year following a family tragedy. When people who haven't seen me since May tell me that I look great, I'm grateful that they are kind and supportive instead of saying anything about my weight. Looking great doesn't have to mean anything about one's weight, you know.

I'm a pear so my belly tends to go away first (along with waist, face, boobs, and arms). It's my hips that take the longest to go...

I go back and forth with tracking. Back and forth between wanting to count calories and not wanting to count calories. But I've stayed with MFP. Why? Because I love my MFP friends and want to support them in reaching their healthy goals. Also, I still track my exercise on here even when I don't track my food.

Do you want to spend the rest of your life with them? Do you feel this way even on the bad days? Do they make you happy 95% of the time? Do they love you completely the way you are but are okay with your changing and evolving? Can you say the same thing about them? In my opinion these are the critical questions. Once you…

You look fantastic! Well done, you.

YAY!!! I'm training for my first. :drinker:

Yesterday I got really depressed and instead of binge-eating, I went for a run.

I'm terrified of stuffed animals. Not teddy bears, mind you. Taxidermy! Usually if I'm prepared for it (like a friend warns me that there is a deer head on the wall before I go wherever) I'm okay. It's when I get surprised by it, I flip out.

Interesting! I just started training for my first half marathon. I have planned for three runs and two cross training sessions per week. I'm mostly concerned about health and about being able run most of or all of the 13.1 miles in October! I figure that if I can do that, with or without substantial weight loss, I must be…

My opinion is that if you are recovering from an eating disorder, you should probably discuss this with your doctor, nutritionist, and/or therapist. I'm a recovered/ing EDNOS, so I can relate to still wanting weight loss after recovery, but to me that goal weight sounds unhealthy. Please discuss with the professionals as…

Hello, HAES people. I'm new to this! I am in the middle of reading Linda Bacon's book, and am loving it so far. It definitely is speaking to me. I've been dieting since age 11 or so, and am proof that it doesn't work. I'm ready to get off of the dieting bandwagon and learn to love my body. I want to want to not care about…

I have felt this way. It helps me to remember that there is absolutely NOTHING that I can do to make myself thinner IMMEDIATELY. That may sound depressing, but for me it helps. Think about it: There is NOTHING that you can do to get to your goal TODAY, but there are goals that you can definitely reach TODAY. The one goal…

Too bad that I found this after a binge! Or actually I guess it's good that I found this. Thanks for this. I'm in!!! Me: 0 The Binge: 1

I am a size 18 at the moment. I think. I will probably have to try stuff on to find out at this point.. I was a 16 a few months ago, and those are now kind of tight, so I'm guessing 18. Which means "regular" stores are out, sadly. Thanks for the suggestions!

I also am trying to not make it about the scale anymore. Though I must admit that I do have a goal to lose 40 pounds as soon as possible (gained 40 in grief-related emotional eating over two months in the summer and have yet to take it off)... My goal for 2013 is to RUN a half marathon in October. That means that I will…

Thanks for sharing! You have motivating and inspiring me for a long time now, it's great to see this thread out here so that everyone can now be inspired by you as much as I am. I applaud you! :heart: :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart: :heart:

YES, control also! Sometimes the only thing that I feel I have control over is my eating, which is why I beat myself up whenever I overeat.

"Eating in the Light of the Moon" by Anita Johnston, PhD This book has been amazing and eye-opening for me. The subtitle is: how women can transform their relationships with food through myths, metaphors, and storytelling Seriously, please look into this book, it's wonderful!

I think that mine was about killing myself. It started out as a "hardcore diet" and then I became an exercise addict and finally anorexic (EDNOS really, because I was never underweight by BMI standards despite being able to count my ribs). Anyway, I was very depressed and I really believe that my extreme eating behaviors…
