I'm by no means an expert, but pretty much everyone agrees that going under 1200 calories a day is not enough, and many people (myself included) believe that most people need more than that. You are undereating, which messes up your metabolism. Try calculating your calorie needs on MFP, and eating that number of calories…

Focus on yourself. Pour your energy into making healthy food for yourself, getting into a new exercise routine, or some other hobby that you'll feel proud of. Tackle a project that you've been meaning to do. What you're going through really, truly sucks (I've been there), but trust that it WILL pass; until it does, you…

Apples (with cinnamon-yum!) Carrots & hummus Red bell peppers Most vegetables and a lot of fruits will fill you up without too many calories. Also, like Nauriel said, yogurt (nonfat) is great, and so is popcorn (without all the fake butter/salt).

I joined in order to make my eating a less chaotic part of my life. Even though I grew up eating healthy, I had gotten to the point over the last few years where I would eat huge amounts of unhealthy food, feel sick, not eat for a while, tell myself that I could eat some more, etc. It was really an emotional (and…
