*shrugs* Can't say I didn't try.

Your profile does not say it was 2012. It says "in December" and Frankly, if you're offended, then maybe you should think about it. Showing off your spinal column is sickly. That's the truth. I'm not trying to be insulting or anything of the sort. My point is, we're reading this and we don't see what you're talking about…

A semantic argument doesn't erase my point. Hiding scales is hiding scales. If you have more than one, it's a sign, and the fact that you're on here even though you know people who love you would "kill you" if they knew you were trying to lose just tells me you're in denial. We can't help you if you're not ready to accept…

There are definitely exceptions to this. You just have to be willing to put up some money and seek the help. There are also plenty of recovery programs available internationally to provide support at little to no cost. I *do* know what I'm talking about, but it's easy to say someone doesn't when they say something you…

Also the fact that you were inpatient for suicidal ideation as recently as December, I find it incredibly hard to believe that your doctor's have released you from care. Choosing to stop against doctor's advice is not the same as being "okay." Your photos are a mini-parade of anorexia glorification. Please, get some help.

ED does not have a cure. It's a lifelong battle of addiction. There are plenty of warning signs jumping out right now, particularly the "I enjoy fasting" statement. Fasting is not in itself bad, but for those of us in recovery, it's very slippery slope. If you're in a spot where you're hiding scales, that tells me that…

Honestly? I would readjust your goals. Most people have a wider different between BMR and TDEE, so either the math wasn't done correctly, or you are very sedentary...Or, I guess, you could be tiny? But I'm guessing not tiny because of the 2k+ numbers. 1200 calories is not a sustainable goal for average-sized people. It is…

The reason it is default is because people who aren't meant to have 2lbs/week as a goal want to do it anyway, and 1200 is the bare minimum "allowed" by the CDC and FDA when it comes to diet suggestions not being medically managed. They cannot endorse calorie goals that are considered under starving level. It is, afterall,…

Nope. Haven't seen them on the forums before.

I'm loving how many people are like OOOOoooo hair! I love seeing people out there embracing these things as "older" adults, if that makes sense.

I won the maturity war I suppose. Not going to lie, I was tempted on some level to retaliate but then I was like, why bother when I'm not hurt or shamed by the things this person is saying? What am I fighting against? I'd much rather laugh and embrace all this mushy flesh than feel cruddy about myself for every second of…

Yeah man, apparently you have a pretty enough face ;) One thing he missed out on though, is what they always say... why are fat girls good at the gobbling? Cuz we're always hungry ;) HAHA I still love that joke even though it makes fun of me. Cheers!

Why yes, I was very aware, but thank you for sharing for those who didn't ;)

I remember the first time I was a 12, the kids made fun of me, but my adult build is such that if I was a 12, I'd be too skinny. How messed up is that? LOL

You all are fabulous :) I hope I don't let you down haha :D

As I told someone earlier... A stranger's words could never hurt me as much as my own can. I just became frank with people, took the wind out of the gossip sails. Most people think I clock in in the mid-200s so I usually drop jaws saying I'm over 400. Speaking openly about our issues sometimes helps make the best out of…

When I think of Sandman, I think of a poster I had that was from the graphic novels. I never read them, I just liked the poster and hung it over my bed ;)

Honestly I think it was because I wasn't shy about my starting weight when I was replying. I don't think that I should feel ashamed to admit that I was 485 at my highest. No one should be. We shouldn't be ashamed of honesty. The reason I even talk about it is because people often like to say "if you're very overweight, you…

I bet it's amazing. I didn't mess with mine for a long long time because of corporate world... But then went to get my hair done before surgery (cuz I'd be out of commission for a couple months) and they convinced me to do something fun. I realized then that my current jobs don't have dress codes at all. So I started…

A thread was closed in which I was called a "pregnant beach whale" by the OP when contributing. This thread is created just because I offered my friendship to those reading it, and it got closed. I was greatly amused by the goings on though! :)

Dude, I know! Just this past summer, I had basically that cut, but my hair was longer on top (to my shoulders). I got it cleaned up for a job interview.

Awe, that's sweet :) Hopefully you'll still love me after seeing some of the stuff I post randomly haha

I will tell you that what you do should be relevant to your current fitness level. If you have been sedentary for a long time, you may need to be a little more modest with your workouts. This sounds like a lot of activity for someone, if they have not been actively exercising before they started.

Unfortunately, your boyfriend's comments are probably valid and addressing his changing attraction levels to your new body. Hopefully he'll learn to adjust... But if you were a heavy person, and lost so much that you've lost your curves, he probably feels conflicted. Obviously, he started dating you when you were bigger,…

Additionally... I think it's pretty cruddy to assume that everyone is "just jealous" or whatever when it comes to stuff like this. I mean, that's a pretty narcissistic attitude to take on. Fact is, if they really do think you look too skinny, they aren't jealous. They are concerned. They are not saying "oh dang, I wish I…

Here's a possible new perspective: I've not always been fat, but most of the people in my life nowadays have only known me as rotund, squishy, whatever they might call it. It is impossible for them to envision me as a smaller person. When I started losing at a level where they could actually see the weight leaving my face…

Woohoo! Two taken, two more to go! This was a successful BUMP :)
