This makes me really sad. Your body needs rest, and you need to listen to your body when you suffer from fatigue.

Hello all, I sincerely apologize. I did not mean to say that every single one of you would benefit from every single word I wrote. When I said all should read, I meant that all should read because you never know what might help and what won't. Maybe this won't apply to those with high cholesterol levels or people who…

If you're looking purely for a weight standpoint, it doesn't seem huge. But I am very very petite and I did not feel or look healthy at 120 pounds. I'm at 110 and for me, that is the right body weight. :) It takes no effort for me to maintain other than loving myself, and eating when hungry and stopping when full. But for…

I don't think that loving yourself is what makes anyone overweight. Eating disorders of any kind, whether it be over or under eating, don't stem from a lack of food but rather another area of one's life. I don't know what that is for you, but for me, it was horrible relationships with my parents and sexual abuse as a…

Vibram Five Fingers changed my life. Literally. I have a pair of Bikilas and I love them so much. I hated running; I hated how hard it was to breathe and how it was a struggle the whole time. Vibrams changed the way I run, and enabled my body to move the way it was meant to, from my pinkie toe even up to my whole body. My…

Thank you all for your answers, it's helped a lot and has been very thought provoking. I did do counseling before, but I had a couple awful experiences with it. Still, I probably just had bad luck, and there's no harm in trying it again. Thanks again...I guess I'll just keep trying to take it day by day.

Maybe you're transitioning too suddenly into your lifestyle change. Maybe slowly change what and how much you eat. :)

I'm a vegetarian, that's why I said no meat. Thank you for the ideas. I'll explore multivitamins, bars, and I'll google some paleo diet stuff. Thank you

YES. This post is my life. When I'm PMSing or on the first couple days of my period, I. Eat. Everything. Literally...my mom took me out to dinner a couple weeks ago and this is what I ended up having: an entire bowl of cheese ravioli, bread with butter, half of my mom's pasta dish, and a huge brownie sundae with whipped…

I have this recurring fear that my bike is going to attack me. It's a vicious cycle. (LOLOLOLOLOL)

Mmm, your seed mix sounds awesome! I have to remember to make a LOT of food when I make healthy stuff. When I haven't eaten healthy, I get lazy and unhappy and then I just want chocolate. So when I do make broccoli or quinoa or yams, I make a LOT of it so it's easy to just grab. I can allow myself to be lazy sometimes and…

I'm having a shirataki noodle stirfry with some peanut sauce and vegetables. YUM! And I'm going to have a square of 80% dark chocolate after dinner.

I love tofu. Tofu tofu tofu ahhhh I could rave about it all day. Two words for you: stir. fry. Toss in broccoli, cauliflower, shirataki noodles, asparagus, zucchini, bell peppers, sweet potato chunks, crushed nuts, snap peas, water chestnuts, and tofu in a stir fry pan with a little veggie oil. SO light in cals so you can…

Sweet Potato Quinoa Salad 2 cups quinoa 1 orange sweet potato 1 cup broccoli 1/4 cup carrots 1.5 cup spinach I just mix them all together and then warm them up/stir fry them all. It's delicious.

Yes, I guess in a way I am seeking attention... Just like ALL the people that start topics in a forum. We would like some attention in the form of answers. My god, clearly I should not have posted anything. I was asking for healthy ways to raise calories and an honest question of whether or not to eat when hungry. I have…

This is pretty much always my shopping list: Raw almonds Raw cashews Broccoli Cauliflower Asparagus Zucchini Bell Peppers Sweet potatoes Quinoa Tomatoes Strawberries Pineapple Bananas Eggs

I'm not done for the day yet, calm down. I'm here to support people, too, just like everyone else. I don't understand why people who eat 3000 calories when their goal is 1200 are not insulted, if I am. I go under cals, they go over cals. No one would call an overweight person who consistently eats over their cal goal fat…

What I do with my life has nothing to do with the advice I give to others. My personal issues as far as recovering from an eating disorder do not prevent me for giving perfectly adequate advice. And I believe I would know if I were hungry. If someone is trying to lose weight, eating 800 calories occasionally is not going…

Starvation mode is such an overused term. If you eat 900 cals, your body is not going to go into starvation mode. It probably won't even if you eat 500, unless you do it consistently for weeks. If you feel absolutely stuffed, don't eat. Eat when you're hungry and eat healthy when you do. Also eat healthy fats like nuts,…

I'm not anorexic! An anorexic person wants to lose a bunch of weight and hates themself, I remember what it's like and I'm there now. I am on MFP to remember to eat, because when I'm busy and stressed I forget, and to healthy when I do. I came here asking for advice of whether it's healthy to eat when one is not hungry or…

I'm a barefoot runner when I run on dirt or grass. But most of the time I'm running cement, treadmill, or on rocky trails. I use the Virbams Five Fingers minimalist running shoes and I LOVE them so much! They give you the same feeling as barefoot running but also shield your feet from sharp objects and you can wear them…

Yeah, all the days that are on my diary, I have finished logging my cals. I know they're a bit under, but I didn't think it was a huge problem. Thanks

As a vegetarian, here is what I basically eat all the time. Breakfasts: - Piece of whole wheat bread with almond butter and banana - Fruit salad (whatever is in my fridge) - Tofu, spinach, one egg, nuts, and broccoli scrambled in light oil or sauce - Whole wheat pancake with strawberries, bananas, and peaches - Kashi…

I'm bisexual and proud of it. :) I've had a relationship with a girl and it was the longest lasting and best relationship I've ever had.

Chips: Baked lays Cookie: Oreos Ice Cream: Cake batter Donut: Regular glazed Fave item from burger restaurant: Fries; I don't eat meat Fast mexican: Quesadilla Calorific drink: Hot chocolate Candy bar: Mr. Goodbar, or Reese's Fruity candy: Life savers or starburst Carnival treat: Pink popcorn Movie theatre treat: popcorn…

I'm 18, 5'2", and looking to lose 20 pounds. :) I'd love to join if you'll have me; I'll take whatever support I can get and am more than willing to help motivate others.

I'm bisexual. This is something it's taken my ages to come to terms with, and I was in denial for years. Raised Catholic Christian, I was terrified of what not being straight would mean. I went to an all girls Christian high school, and I was so afraid of myself. I fell in love with a girl in my sophomore year and she,…

I, too, am a huge pasta addict. My favorite is getting some high quality pasta (whole wheat/gluten free, or buckwheat noodles) and putting broccoli, olives, carrots, and asparagus in it. Also sprinkle a little bit of parmesan cheese on top, and refrigerate it overnight and all the flavors kind of "set" and it's delicious…
