Your fears about food are quite real for anyone that has an eating disorder, whether it be anorexia, Bulimia, or compulsive eating, The fact that you recognize that you have this fear is good. Denial can be a comfort, but it's really an enemy in disguise. Food binging is just result of all those feelings stirring inside.…

You need to think better of yourself! :smile:

I drink a lot coffee. It can make you feel nauseous if you drink too much, but mostly like your just getting a cold or your blood sugar took a drop.

Well said and informative!

Many people feel that way. Your feelings have nothing to do with swimming of any kind. I love to swim, but I had to get over the fact that I wasn't comfortable with my own body and stop worrying about people staring or what others think. Take a breath!,,,,,,, It so true. What I found is that most people are more worried…

GOT NEWS FOR YOU: IT'S NOT NORMAL for a guy or girl to be hitting, throwing, or breaking anything. This is sign of an underlining problem of out of control anger. That kind of behavior only gets worse unless it's addressed and dealt with. Don't make exuses for this behavior........people will get hurt.

I was working at my office, typing on the computer, as a co-worker turned to me at told me what happened. Within minutes, people were rushing up and down the hallway, comments were flying, and the building was locked down. We scrambled to find outside word of what was going on. I thought about my family and wondered where…

I understand how you feel, and I am so happy for you. Keep going forward! :smile:

I have lost over 100 lbs. I have maybe another 100 lbs. I'd like to lose. We eat because food taste good, makes us feel good, and life carries many stresses. I have learned that there is no road to perfection. Failure is inevitable, yet it is failure that we learn from and GROW. MFP has been great! Take it one day at time,…

:explode: Don't sacrifice what already know to be right! Sometimes.......we have to walk alone!

Please don't call it cheat day. That makes it sound as if we have to be perfect or we are worthless. We are not perfect, and we are all valuble individuals. Everyone has a cheat day, or we wouldn't have weight problems. I think it is all a matter of balance and time! :smile:

That is tough one! Your co-worker probably knows the situation better than you, but she's going through some rough time, or she wouldn't be eating like that. You might try just being a friend to her. A helpful ear with sincere interest can make a big difference sometimes! If that is to much to handle; then you have back…

Beautiful and true! :smile:

:smile: I can relate to everything you said. It is all about changing our LIFE in general. I think the process involves trying, failing, and trying again, excepting good days and not so good. I am so happy for you!

I understand that on the average, men have less body fat and more LBM than women. I was told this was due to the primary male hormone of testosterone, and that the primary female hormones have the opposite affect on body fat and lean body mass. This could simply be an act of nature......

It stinks, but all honesty men don't always have as easy as you think. They have there problems too!

Kristen, you may have determination and strong will about many things, but let's face it. We don't get to be 100, 200, or many more pounds overweight because our strong will is in charge. Compulsive eating is food disorder that can dominate and destroy our lives. It is lovely ifor when someone still loves us despite our…

Genetics, aging, diet, exercise all play a role with sagging skin. I have loss a lot of weight. We're not perfect, just work on being and feeling healthy. Every thing will work out! :smile:

They will have to learn in there own time. The pills are a scam. Appetite suppressant, huh! People don't over eat because they are hungry. The brain has many other draws to food, emotions, hormones, stress, physiological issues, and etc. Just because someone won the battle, doesn't mean they won the war on over/under…

I was born in 1961. I remember wanting to go to a Beatles concert. I thought the word "groovie" was the in thing. And I remember my bell bottom pants getting caught in my bike chain as they flapped through the wind. Although, I never like guys with longer hair than girls, sometimes it was hard to tell who was who. TV…

Hello, I saw your post about the lack of husband support. I have been there big time. I have been married longer than you, so please let me tell you something. You have to do this for yourself. Your husband probably has his own insercurities, but in the end he will respect you for them or lose respect for himself not being…
