  • I thiInk it depends on a lot of things. Your body has to get used to the lower amounts of food, if you've decreased it a lot. One thing that helps is making sure you get enough liquids, especially water. Exercise effects it, too. Sometimes you have to just grin and bear it through the hunger pangs because they say there's…
    in why am i more hungry after eating proper amounts? Comment by HeidiHuenink February 2012
  • Welcome. You can do it. I was at an all time high of 247 and now I am down to 218. Kind of stuck right now, I'm going to have to change up my exercise really soon. I know I'm going to have to watch what I eat for the rest of my life. I feel so much better, though.

  • I was a compulsive, binge eater from a young age. My dad was the enabler. I feel like I was a pro, thinking about the quantities of food I ate frequently.

  • This same thing happened to me. One summer when I was in college I lost 50 pounds. People's reactions were very strange. Men whom I worked with previous summers and hadn't seen me were all of a sudden talking to me and wanting to go out with me. It just made me angry more than anything. It's hard to face the fact that so…

    in Worst negative comment about your weight? Comment by HeidiHuenink January 2012
  • When I was a child, at a family gathering (relatives we didn't see that often) a great - aunt said, "Oh, you're the fat one!" Also, my mother told me that I used to come home from school crying that someone called me "fat." I had completely blocked that from my mind - don't even remember it. I knew I didn't like being fat,…
