1500-1700, sometimes up to 1800 on the weekends (gotta leave some wiggle room for a Saturday shot of vodka)

I know how you feel. But I feel like I could give up or I can keep trying. I'm NOT A PERFECT PERSON (and, sorry to say dear, neither are you. nor is anyone in the world). I know that I'M GOING TO F-CK UP every once in a while (I f-ck up a lot, actually). I think the ultimate f-ck up is giving up, though. Every f-ck up I…

I joined August 2010, but I stick to my paper journal. I generally just use this site for the forums and the nutrition info, not to actually log anything.

I flipped through your food diary and I'm shocked. I know I was "too skinny" at one point.. But I was also eating only 500cal/day or less and forced my way down to 99lbs. You seem to eat just fine. Perhaps a little lower than you should be - I'd up your calories a smidge to maintain your weight. I'd only be worried if your…

Hi there! I'm a recovering bulimic so I understand how awful emotional eating is and how easily it is to become addicted to sugar. I often joke that refined sugar is like crack to me. Horribly true. For me, the best approach was to not deprive myself and to ensure that I was getting the nutrients that my body needed. I…
-
first off, congrats on not binging for so long! secondly, don't beat yourself up. your body probably just needed the extra calories. perhaps it's time to bump up your daily amount a bit?
-
well, if you're a true binger, i suggest going to see a psychologist/psychiatrist. that's what i've had to do. then again, i've been back and forth with eating disorders - anorexia --> bulimia --> BED/COE. seeing someone truly was the ignition for the start of my journey back to health. some of the things that we've gone…

came into this thread out of interest (my friend is trying to raise her child on a vegetarian diet) and was amused by how much of a **** you seem to be, coach. you get really defensive after someone disagrees with you.. how odd. anyways.. back to the topic..

Luckily, I really dislike straight sugar in my coffee or on my cereal/fruit. I'm going to have to try finding a chocolate protein cookie recipe, that sounds awesome. I've been getting Kashi granola bars and they sorta fit in with my love of chocolate and baked goods - the cherry dark chocolate has 5g of protein and is 120…
-
I thought about getting dark chocolate the other day, mostly for the health benefits, when I was getting groceries but.. Even though I like the taste, it's just not the same as a mini Kitkat or Reese's. As for the sugar crash.. I haven't dealt with that. I think it has to do with the fact that I eat chocolate inbetween…

I like your way of thinking/eating.

clearly you've never had the pleasure of being bulimic. laxatives makes you sooo bloated, you wouldn't believe. and super dehydrated.. try a couple days with eating lots of fruit/veggies - natural fiber ftw! and stay away from processed stuff.
-
I was "fat". Then I got the crazy idea that starving myself would help make me skinny forever. I lost weight. I got too skinny. My body was like "*****, feed me!" I ate.. And ate.. And purged. And restricted. And binged. < Repeating those steps until my life was in complete chaos and I had gained back most of the weight I…
-
Sugar is my crack... Sadly, I'm not even joking (hence why I developed bulimia). The things that have significantly helped me fight the battle over my cravings include: - identify what my body is really craving (say.. i'm craving ice cream - i proceed to go into the fridge and grab a cup of fat-free skim milk; which i like…
-
rice, beans, canned meat (turkey/tuna/chicken), tomato sauce, noodles, canned veggies. make a crap-ton of soup/noodle dishes, divide into tubberware/baggies, freeze = cheap, easy meals to reheat. also, ramen. ramen gets such a bad name.. just ditch the seasoning packets for spices/condiments with less sodium and add some…

So true... Nutella is like crack to me. Sweet, chocolately, delicious crack... lol
-
My hands.. they've helped me with so much - from playing clarinet, oboe, drums, ukulele, and guitar to creating paintings and manipulating clay to helping take care of people who no longer are able to use their own hands. I love them a lot.

I really enjoyed what you put for #3. I think the greatest thing I've come to learn is that feeling good about myself is better than a low number on the scale. I was 102lbs and soooo miserable. Now that I'm up from that (and eating much better, getting rid of my urges to purge), I feel wonderful. Weight is insignificant,…
-
I've lowered my intake of carbs, switching to a higher intake of protein. That seems to be helping me feel fuller and less inclined to binge. Although, by "lowering my intake of carbs" I mean that I've eliminated anything made with flour from my diet (following the grey sheet food plan from OA) and I'm sticking to…

I like body fortress (strawberry and vanilla flavors), available at Walmart for pretty cheap - In the morning, I blend 1 scoop with some milk (or water) and frozen peaches/strawberries for a yummy, protein smoothie. Sometimes I'll add a packet of diet hot cocoa for a chocolate kick. It keeps me quite full

^^This I'm also a recovering bulimic and I've gone to a psychologist, as well as a doctor and nutritionist. I recommend getting professional help. Don't try to lose weight until you can control yourself from binging. It's really a struggle against yourself if your body is craving food and you're trying to deprive it of…

Watch out for her when she gets older, FYI.. I was a chunky (well... more than just chunky) "little" girl and I developed the start of my disordered eating habits around her age.. As for shocks... Um... - hard candy - ben and jerry's - certain breads (200+ cals for 1 slice!) - cereal ("healthy" cereal.. so frustratingly…
-
1500-1700... My nutritionist advised me not to go under 1500, since I'm a recovering bulimic (binge eater). I think a lot of other people dealing with BED/COE are in the wrong to aim for 1200. Yes, it will help you lose weight.. But it's not good for breaking away from the binging. The best way to help keep from…
-
my promise.. is to quit being a lazy fata*s and to teach myself to eat better.
-
don't waste your money on that crap.. it's hardly what i would call "food" the products taste awful.. just learn to eat the real stuff in moderation (or better yet skip the dressings, sauces, dips and just enjoy the natural flavors of fruits and veggies)

shoulda had a V8...
