HUGE SUCCESS! Way to go!

^^^^^^^ This exactly. Don't punish yourself. What should you do... carry on! That's it. No punishment. No extreme dieting or exercising... just carry on.

really well written and well sourced! Nice to see somebody give a well rounded view on what an eating disorder truely is.

looking good!!!

I self sabotage for sure and I still don't know if I'm quite sure as to the root of the problem but I have learned to deal with emotions in an emotional way, not with food, which was a really big accomplishment for me. Like when most brides were going all crazy losing weight to look good in their wedding dress, I was busy…

AGREED!

It's actually something that the center that I go to for my weight issues suggests. I weighed in blind (meaning they saw my numbers but I didn't) for over 6 weeks in a row and it was so eye opening to see how much the numbers did effect my mood (and my binges/strict dieting). It allowed me to focus on just making positive…

I'm in the Netherlands but I like the UK, does that count?!?! You can always add me if you'd like! (but I have to first confess I am one of those "way to go, good job, right on" American types).

WOW! Not only do you look fabulaous but you just keep lookingyounger and younger. Amazing transformation!

water or otherwise, if you lose 9 pounds and never gain it back, you've lost 9 pounds right? RIGHT!!!

I log before I eat some things. Planning helps me make better decisions throughout the day so it just makes sense to also log my planned food all at once in the morning so I can see where I am for those unexpected treats (birthday's, etc).

you had me at "bacon salt".... :heart: LOL I've never heard of such a thing but holy wowza it sounds pretty amazing! :bigsmile:

He seems to be giving you kind of blanket, generic answers to your questions. If you want this relationship to work then digging deeper would be the next step (I think). "It annoys him" isn't an answer to WHY you shouldn't discuss diet/exercise within earshot, that's just saying how he feels. WHY he is annoyed is the real…

you look fantastic! You have such a great shape!

splash some hot sauce on them (can make some pieces soggy) or sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Yummy! If you like the sweet rather than the savory, then mix up some brown sugar and cinnamon. It doesn't have to be a lot to add quote a bit of flavor.

hey there! Sorry you're having such a rough time looking at those numbers but that's all they really are... numbers. I have a saying that really helps me through times like this. "nothing is done or UNDONE in one snack one, one meal, one day, one week or even one month". You don't fix everything in one weekend and you…

great results! You look wonderful. Congrats!

awww that must have made you feel so empowered! Well done you!

amazing work!

you look so fantastic!

geez! you guys are going to make me cry! :flowerforyou: thanks for your kindness and support! I am in a much, much happier place mentally!

I am generally 3-4 pounds heavier for the week of my period. As it's ending I can always tell I'm losing the water due to many trips to the restroom, usually through the night. :wink:

thank you very much everybody!

It's sounds like you're restricting yourself too much therefore causing the binge effect later. I used to do this as well, be desperate to lose some weight so go on this "I have to do it right now 100% full throttle"diet"" and it would go so well for a little while, sometimes even a longer while (a month) but really nobody…

I think you have the right, even if he is a guests, to say something! Nobody has the right to make you feel bad about your food choices regardless if it was in calorie range or not. Some people have no filter. A simple "if you can't say anything nice..." would have been a kind enough comment with still getting your point…

So happy for you! you look wonderful!

what a great feeling! (what does NSV stand for)

The biggest thing that I'm looking forward to is shopping in a non-plus size store!

looking good!!! Congrats!
