My childhood was also basically the above. I didn't start gaining weight until I was a teenager with an after-school job and my own computer.

I eat junk food all the time. My diary is open, feel free to add me.

You must really hate women, don't you?

Hello everyone! I'm Molly, CW 215, GW by Christmas 200. We can do this!!

Soda, fancy coffee drinks, most creamy/heavy condiments & dressings (easy for me to skip since I don't like most of them anyways).

Feel free to add me, I'm basically eating FODMAP free, tweaked to my own diet of what I know works for me after 11 years :)

Didn't read any of the above comments, so what I do may have already been discussed. I've had IBS-D for 11 years now. It's fairly manageable once I figured out what triggers it and got into a good system. I don't take any medication, other than 2 OTC Loperamide tablets every morning when I wake up, before I eat anything. I…

OMG I feel you. I have a size 9 ring and 11 shoe too. I was about 140 in high school but still wearing a size 13/15 and thinking I was super fat because of it... glad I'm not alone in the "big boned" category :)

I'm 210, 5'7" and a pear shape. I wear 16/18 on bottom and 14/16 on top.

Black tea Diet soda Black coffee with sugar free syrup- 5 calories and no sugar.

I'm 5'7" and pear shaped. My goal weight is 145 and measurements 36-30-45, which is about where they were when I was that weight (I'm currently 210).

My guess is makeup or laser removal.

:/

I have extensive stretch marks all over my body. I got the ones on my breasts, legs, bottom and hips from puberty at age 12. I got more on my stomach and arms from weight gain. The ones on my hips were so large and dark when I was young (I have an extreme pear shape) that people used to ask me what happened or what was…

I think a couple of years ago, Mexico actually surpassed the US as the most obese country in the world.

Judging from the photo, the cut and the embellishment, it looks like the top would be pretty difficult and pricey to alter. I would just buy the smaller size. I worked as a professional tailor for many years.

I'm 25 and still get breakouts, especially around my chin. My 55 y/o mother still gets them there too, so I don't think they'll go away anytime soon :) Anyways, I would recommend a acne cleanser, I use Boscia clear complexion wash. It's the best I've ever tried (and I've tried A LOT). Also make sure you moisturize after…

It's true that most restaurant portions in the US are out of control huge. But at least for me, I've never expected them to be single-serving. I don't think I've ever eaten an entire portion of something I was served in a restaurant, ever. Unless it was upscale or a small plate. Most people I know have this mentality too.…

Tea is my current obsession, lol. I prefer to buy loose leaf as it's generally cheaper and better quality. I love earl grey, or lavender earl grey (sometimes called lady grey). Chai, chai blends or flavored chais are great. I have this delicious tea called Marie Antoinette's rose tea that is to die for. I'm also a big fan…

Nope- I keep it on the kitchen counter. It does drive my fiancee crazy though when she's cooking and I'm like wait! I need to weigh that first! haha

I've wondered this also. I don't deep fry, but I do pan fry chicken for my homemade orange chicken or "chicken wings" (pieces of chicken breast covered in corn starch) I usually add a couple tablespoons of whatever I used to batter it (egg, flour, corn starch etc.) and a few tablespoons of oil to the calorie counter. May…

I'm 5'7" but most of my height is in my torso.. my legs are short or on the shorter side of average length

To answer your question, yes I have legs like that. My waist is 34 and my hips 50. My thighs are 30" and my calves 19". I definitely know what you mean about "fat pockets" around my knees/calves. I've had them since puberty, even with weight fluctuations. I've never really met anyone with legs like mine... just super thick…

Probably around 2500 on average. My maintenance right now is 2100 so it was enough to see a gradual gain. Currently eating 1500 without much issue.... just had to stop eating entire pizzas or packages of cookies ;)

This could be something called selective eating disorder. Yes, this is a real thing, and my fiancee has it. It's not as easy as just "getting over it", it cam involve years of therapy. My fiancee would get physically ill from certain foods, smells and textures. To the point where she would rather starve than eat them.

I make roasted chicken with red potatoes and carrots in the oven w/white wine and rosemary. It tastes like comfort food but is only 400cals for dinner!

Is that you Jillian?? :# :#

You will find tons of support here, as well as the tools and information you need to move forward. I'm also 24 and around 100kg, add me if you want a friend! We can motivate each other. :)

I do 1500 and it's really not too bad. Most of the hunger pains faded after the first week or so. Now I barely get hungry and my cravings have greatly subsided.

Haha I can share this sentiment! Though I've considered going on BC to help control my long, painful periods... but after reading threads like this, I'll just suffer for 1 week per month.
