You are 113 and you want to lose 13 pounds? How tall are you? Also, see the bolded parts. Those are worrisome statements and sound like the real issues that need to be addressed. eta: you say you are 18, yet your profile states you are 21. If you are under 18, this is not the place for you. Speak with a parent and/or…

Stop watching weight loss shows.

You have 5 pounds to lose and you call 8 fun size candy bars a binge? I can see a problem, but it has nothing to do with sugar.

Stop doing what you are doing at go to the "getting started" section of the forums and read the first two stickies.

See the bold. What happens when you have a family or friend get together and no soup is available? If you truly are a sensible eater, you probably would not be asking this question.

OP: There are a lot of red flags in your OP and your other responses. Since you are in social services, you should be aware of all of the various treatment options available to you in your area or surrounding areas. For the sake of yourself, I hope that you seek immediate treatment. You have made suicidal statements and…

I need more coffee....

The bolded part is a pretty important sentence. It is probably in your best interest to ditch the idea of a quick fix, learn sustainable habits that will benefit you in the long run and utilize the blog feature of MFP.

AA is not the only form of treatment for alcohol and it would benefit you to explore different options that would be the best for your situation. You have identified problems, which is an important aspect of starting to feel better. Seek a professional who is able to assess your current needs and move forward from there.…

1. Meal timing is personal preference. 2. Monitoring intake (calorie counting, portion control etc.) has to happen in some form in order to create a deficit. (lose weight) 3. A huge breakfast is not the explanation to obesity. A calorie surplus is how people gain weight. OP: Read the links provided for you in this thread.…

Wait it out and then begin to fix your relationship with food.

:ohwell:

OP: In case you didn't know, you're not supposed to post the same topic in multiple areas of the forum.

Nope. But I have seen the book "everybody poops" in the toddler section at the bookstore.

Your contribution to this topic was making some strong claims and using exclamation points as your evidence. People asked for more than that and you are were not able to provide anything else, except that you work in health care. And after all of that, you admit that you gained weight by eating too many calories. No…

Plan for it. If it is a last minute thing, adjust accordingly. One meal is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

A calorie surplus triggers fat storage. OP: Read the sexypants link and all of the links in it.

With under 20 pounds to lose, it will be a slower process. (have MFP set to 0.5 pounds per week) You can eat all types of foods (as long as there isn't a medical condition) and still lose weight because it comes down to a calorie deficit. Also, upping your exercise, you may see an increase on the scale because of water…

You should start your own thread.

It sounds like you have some high expectations and it might be a good time to change that. There is no reason to work out 7 days per week for 2 hours, the body needs rest at some point. Also, since you do not have much to lose, the process is going to slower for you. Relax.

Um. Tell them you don't like it?

OP: Have you addressed your issues with food yet? (ex. wondering if cereal is considered a cheat meal? or eating nothing but fruits and veggies for a month?) If you have not addressed those issues, that may be your problem of feeling weak.

Considering this is a public forum, these requests may not be granted to you. Maybe try the blog feature of MFP?

Due to your mention of purging and your profile picture, I suggest starting here: http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/find-help-support You can also call this number: 1-800-931-2237 or if you feel more comfortable, you can click to chat at the link listed above.

Changes to lifestyle (better nutrition and increased exercise) can help to a certain degree and it may improve symptoms for those with a less severe diagnosis. (such as mild or situational depression) However, there are some people that physically need medication in order to function on a day to day basis…. and that is ok.…

Weight loss is still possible, even with medication. It may be a bit more difficult, but it is possible for people. What stood out in your OP was inconsistency in your approach and not sticking to something for a significant period of time. (which is understandable if you were still struggling at times with symptoms) If…
