I love fast food. That pic that everyone said was so gross has made me hungry! It looks delicious to me. Yum...all that cheese. I can't cook. For me, a Wendy's grill chicken plain with a junior Frosty is a better dinner than anything I attempt to make myself at home. It seems so much better than the frozen meal I "cook" in…

Is there even a comparison? Beatles all the way. But then I am crazy Beatlemaniac. Check out my Beatles blog: http://meetthebeatlesforreal.blogspot.com/ Sara S.

I have heard a lot, but the one that sticks with me forever was when I was 17 and in the show choir in high school. The director, who wasn't a thin person herself called me into her office. We were ordering new dresses and she wanted to know my size. I had just bought a homecoming dress and I told her I was a 14. She…

A lot of places have the nutrition information posted on the wall. I have been known to stand by that poster and decide what to order before I get in line. I have had some rude remarks yelled at me, but I have made wise choices at fast food and lost weight.

Without even realizing it, I have now gone 9 days in a row without a binge. Whoo hoo!

I totally spent the whole weekend binging. It all started with Fritos and French onion dip on Friday night....followed by 2 bags of popcorn and ice cream on Saturday with ice cream for breakfast and an entire small pizza on Sunday. I have no control over myself. I went 2 solid weeks without a binge and then totally blew…

I started to binge when I found out that my (now ex) husband was having an affair. During the whole ordeal of putting together what he was doing and that mess and then filing for divorce and going through with it, I ate to make myself feel better. I don't recall before that time being a binge eater. I mean I have always…

My Dad took me out to eat for diner tonight. I had a very nice meal that was within my calorie limit for the day. Zumba class starts in 20 minutes and I am so tempted to just skip it, but nope. I am getting my (big) butt into my workout clothes and am going. This will be day 2 of not bingeing!

I have been on a "free for all" type of eating since Oct 5th (my birthday weekend). At ate half a birthday cake and a whole thing of ice cream all by myself and it was all downhill from there. 2 large bags of popcorn at the movie theater, graham crackers and frosting tubs, cheez-it boxes.....lots and lots of junk. I feel…

Hi everyone. My name is Sara. I am an emotional eater. I have lost 60 pounds since January and I was doing really well controlling the binge eating. Then I recently hit a really rough time in life and I went right back to my old ways of binge eating. The past 2 weeks as been a free for all. I still have 40 pounds to lose…

I am really struggling with the binging right now. I do so well for 6 days and then boom...I am eating an entire can of icing with Scoobie Doo graham crackers. Last week I binged on an entire bag of ranch croutons! Huh! What am I thinking? I need some help getting back on track and to stop going overboard. Count me in!

I am!! I am from Alton, Illinois. Just went to the Muny a couple of weeks ago. Feel free to add me as a friend. I have been on this difficult journey since January 2nd of this year. (New Years Resolution and I actually stuck with it....shock!). I have lost 61.5 pounds of the 108 that I need to lose. But then I have lost…

I figured I should inform everyone of what happened on Wednesday. 'it was extremely hot here in St. Louis (high was 108) but we went to Six Flags anyway. It worked in our advantage because the rides did not have any lines. I think the longest I waited for any ride was 3 minutes. So I went up to the guy in front of the…

I have the same issue. This is going to sound bad and people are going to tell you that it is a bad idea. However, my doctor put me on half of a water pill for my high blood pressure. I take one half of a low dose water pill. I pee a lot more than I ever have in my life, but I no longer wake up 5 pounds heavier than the…

Eating Blizzards 2-3 times I week is what made me gain a LOT of weight in 2001-2003. But my goodness they are so good! Yum yum yum. I know they have the Mini size, but I typically go for the small. It doesn't cost too much more. Anyhow...these days I only allow myself a Blizzard twice a year. Big change between twice a…

I've lost 54.5 pounds since January and I drink a lot of Diet Coke. I drink a couple 44 oz fountain sodas plus at least 2 cans. I feel like I have given up so much that I love and I just don't want to give up the Diet Coke. The thought of giving it up makes me really depressed actually. So I am not going to even attempt it.

HRMs don't work for me because I take a beta blocker pill. My Zumba instructor told me that you burn between 700-900 calories in an hour of Zumba. I thought that seemed high, but then when I got Zumba 2 for the Wii, it said I was burning close to 50 calories a song.

I can eat McDonald's French Fries. I love them and there was no way I was going to go through my life without ever eating them again. I discovered that if you order a Happy Meal, you get fairly decent sized small order of fries for just 100 calories. I really like the Salt and Vinegar chips as well. I used to eat them all…

This is going to sound stupid, but this was one of my big reasons why I didn't want to start losing weight again. The last time I lost weight, I had those dreams almost every night and I hate it. I didn't want to go through that again. Or maybe that was just a really lame excuse for me to continue with my bad eating. I do…

Personally I find my sportline HRM watch to be crap. After a full hour of nonstop Zumba it said I burned 150 calories. Then it said I burned 75 just walking out of the wellness center and to my car. Something isn't right there. But then I take a Betablocker for high blood pressure and I know that messes up things a bit for…

The first thing that comes to mind was a full back of chocolate chips dumped into a tub of cool whip. Mixed it up and ate the whole thing with a spoon. Binging has been a really hard habit for me to break. I enjoy it so much.

My favorite things? 1. Acting in community theater - once a year 2. Going to a Beatles convention - every August in Chicago 3. Going to a Disney Theme park - on average every year and a half 4. Binge eating - don't really do think any more. I used to have "junk food" parties that were so much fun. I might still do that…

I have only read the first 3 pages of this, but I wanted to chime in. All of the wedding I have been to that have had a dance reception (many people are like me and went for just a cake reception) have had a dollar dance. I usually dance with both the bride and the groom (if I know both of them) and it gives a really nice…

I am 35 and I have lived with a peanut allergy my entire life. When I was old enogh to start eating "real" food, my mom gave me a little peanut butter on a cracker. She said I swelled up like a little balloon. I have basically avoided peanut oil and peanuts and peanut butter ever since. People always say that they can't…

Wow...I think "diet depression" is exactly what I am going through. I have lost 46 pounds since January, but the novelty has worn off for me. Counting calories is making me feel awful and I just feel so down in the dumps. My clothes haven't change much, no one has really even noticed my weight loss. I knew this was going…

My issues happen when I am eating a homemade meal at someone's home that isn't mine. I don't want to ask "what exactly is in this and how much did you use of it?" for each scoop of something that I tried. I just sort of guess and take very small portions since I am unsure.

I have a Beatles photo blog called "Meet the Beatles for Real." In the circle of Beatles people (aka Beatle geeks), it is very popular and I get between 1,500 and 2,000 hits a day on it. It is a really fun, but I feel like such a big nerd whenever people outside of the online community ask me about it. Sara S.

My mom and I sometimes go to the gym together. It is a small place and there are only 2 of the types of exercise bikes that she likes to use. When we got there, two men are sitting at the bikes watching a Cardinal's baseball game. They were not using the bikes and did not even have their feet on the pedals once. They were…

After I saw the box of Eminmen's donuts in the trash and realized that I had ate that entire box of chocolate donuts the night before and I was really out of control. I needed to make some sort of a change in my eating and weight. That was between Christmas and New Years this past year.

The thought of not having to log in every single bite I eat is what keeps me going on this process. I will stop doing it once I get to a point where I am keeping track in my mind and not counting for one mint or 3 french fries.
