That's awesome!

I looked up their website, it looks like there is a wide selection of teas. I've only been to Seattle once, but if I'm ever in WA again I know where to go :) In the future I might buy some samples from their site to test the tea out (when I'm running low on tea). Thanks :)

When I go to the Teavana website the price reflects a 2oz package (and you can change the size). t-sacs come in handy but I use them quickly!

Colorado Springs. I think boulder is a bit of a drive from where I'll be. Thank you for the suggestions though That sucks that some of them around Denver are low quality :(

I'm really surprised at how many of you also drink loose leaf tea and how you all had so many different suggestions, I didn't expect this many replies. You guys should have a loose leaf tea group. :)

The prices are decent there. Thanks for the suggestions!

That's awesome, I did not know that!

I'm from Kansas. If anyone knows any good tea shops here let me know... there are none that I've heard of, but I could be wrong. I usually don't drink fruity teas often but the passion fruit tea is amazing. :D I've never tried the Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Rooibos, but it sounds delicious.

If you have been sick for two weeks straight and you still feel horrible, I would see a doctor. I don't think the healthy eating has anything to do with you being sick. Are you trying to say it should have prevented it? I'm sure there are other causes and factors that play in. Get well soon. :)

Thank you for the great sources! You've given me a lot of knowledge and I have learned a bit more. I have a few names I definitely want to try soon, and a couple new websites I can purchase tea on. :) I really appreciate your time and thoughts! They also have peppermint loose leaf tea, I've tried it before and loved it.…

I was reading about the Pu-erh online and saw an article mention that mold and bacteria will sometimes attack the tea during the long aging process. Isn't this risky?

I've been cutting back on coffee a lot and my caffeine tolerance isn't as high as it used to be. I'm considering just totally dropping coffee and going to tea... but I don't know. Right now I still have coffee occasionally but I'm finding I like tea better now (after switching to loose leaf). That sounds like a good one..…

I was looking up Tae Guan Yin and Da Hong Pao but I don't think Tea Guys has that kind. Adiago might, Tea Source does... but they use the names they're known for like Iron Goddess of Mercy and Big Red Robe (I'm glad those names were mentioned or else I probably wouldn't have found it). I just bought a lot of tea recently…

It looks cool. =)

I don't think I've tried any Darjeeling tea. I've been ordering a lot of flavored black and herbal teas from these sites. I will have to try some of the suggested. Yeah, the recent natural disasters are horrible. :(

Thank you!

I've heard of Teavana, I just haven't bought any tea from them. Do you have any personal favorites? I didn't think about checking my local health food store, they might actually have some. Thanks for the ideas

I took a tea making class and they said the small balls didn't give the leaves enough room to expand. I do use large paper filters, but I've been looking for a good basket infuser. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll check them out. Yep, I can definitely tell you're a loose tea lover. :)

Those are some I'll have to try.

I haven't quit anything. I used to drink regular soda frequently, years ago when I was obese. I gave it up for awhile to lose weight, and it helped. I don't suggest telling yourself you'll never have it again, but it'd be healthier to find an alternative daily drink - like tea or coffee. I have diet soda occasionally, but…

Interesting article, thanks for sharing! "The challenge is not losing weight but sustaining weight loss,” That's the truth!

I'm feeling better today. I was really down yesterday, binges mess with my mood and mindset badly. Thanks for listening, on days like that I need an on call therapist lol.

Thanks for the response. Buying food for only 1-2 days at a time is a good idea, but it's difficult sometimes. Depends on what you choose to eat during the day. Pre-logging is something I need to do more often, I know a lot of people say it helps them. That sounds like a good idea... maybe a journal would help, I want to…

I feel like the counselor on campus is for minor anxiety and stress related issues, and wouldn't be specifically trained with eating disorders... this is just a small community college. Maybe I am wrong, it's just what I think. I feel like a large university might have more resources for issues like this than my college...…

Me: 12 The Binge: 7

Welcome to the group! :) Glad to have you here. You're definitely not alone!

Me: 12 The Binge: 6 Some-days I don't even feel like fighting the urge. I don't feel like it's worth it. I don't care about my well being, I just give up. I won't give up, I just feel like it today, and my binge count is getting larger. Hopefully my mindset is a bit healthier tomorrow. I'm tired of my stupid habits. I also…

I think Molly originally shared this with the group in one of the other threads, but I feel the need to post it here because I think it was excellently written. http://www.canyoustayfordinner.com/2014/11/05/how-to-recover-from-binge-eating/ She's very honest and open about the struggle. I found myself relating to 90% of…

Sounds interesting. =)

If you donated daily you'd lose blood quicker than your body could regenerate new blood cells...
