Anorexics stomaches shrinken either, plus yes, they get used to it, but it's a myth that anorexics don't feel hunger. Your answer though doesn't really constrast mine, because I've said that it might be psychological, not imaginary. It's our brain that controls hormones levels, so yeah physical responses can be affected by…

This happens to me either. I think it's psychological - I am scared of overeating, but at the same time, I think about it often. So when I come to the point of overeating "responsibly" (I know I'm having my day off, I've behaved well until then and so on...) I get addicted and want to do it again. I'm hungry without…

Thank you, that sums everything up. Which means that I have to eat 4200 kcals in a day to cancel a whole week... and, on reverse, if I'm willing to mantain, I could eat 4200 kcals in a day and "make up" for it by eating 1400 kcals the next week. This is actually very interesting to me because when I have my meals out I…

I know, but I wouldn't actually put my disordered habits into this context since I'm trying to get rid of them (and I think I'm succeeding). That's why I said I'm not dramatically binging anymore... that's my most important long term goal, and I want to keep it up. I would actually log those calories in, but I don't think…

Thank you. I must say that I occasionally binge, for example going at the restaurant and eating pizza, or all-you-can-eat japanese food. I wouldn't know how to quantify the calories so I just don't log in those days, but this happens around once a month, I'm getting better at avoiding it as a habit and I can go without…

I've eaten every kind of pizza, and even though I don't know much about which kinds of pizzas you bake there, here you can't find a pizza that's less than 750 kcals. Those kinds of pizzas are the ones bought frozen at the grocery (375 gr, not very thick as yours, but filling). When I eat a pizza at the restaurant I always…

You definitely need more time, I think you will be able to see real, visible results after a couple of months. Try not to eat too few calories because that wouldn't help you while exercising hard.

I would aim for 1200 kcals a day to start. It's not a sufficient amount to gain, I mean, that's not what they suggest to anorexics in order to gain their weight back, but at least you'll slowly start to get enough calories and nutrients. If you feel like you can't eat so much food, think about the quality. Try to eat…

I can understand most of the things you've written but I just don't get this. Considering that the binge has already happened, this doesn't mean that you've only gained fat and you should get rid of it in order to start again. I would personally forget about what happened during the last weeks and start again - now - you…

Patience, kindness, humor

This works in a different way for everyone. Some people suffer from depression in spring and might be prone to photosensitivity. So it's not easy to say what's going to help unless you talk about it to a doctor. You might suffer from a lack of some nutrients (even just minerals) which might lead to chronic fatigue, sleep…

Are you sure it has anything to do with your weightloss? I've been losing weight for 1,5 years, and I already started losing hair when I was 17 years old. Now, 5 years later, I got diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia from my doctor, we're trying some things out but for some it's just genetics. Get some blood tests done to…

I'll celebrate by discovering how to mantain. :(

Running doesn't make you gain, but I think that you can only fully recover if you stop thinking about weight - minutes - calories - gains - clothes - numbers and anything related. I know it's hard, you can do it by little steps. But you know you *have* to gain some healthy, necessary weight to get better. No one is going…

I just hope that most people who happen to need a divorce realize that they made a mistake in the first place by marring - because I cannot actually understand how can you just "stop" loving someone you once loved with your whole heart. It's not about promises, it's about the nature of true love. If you really love someone…

Sweetener

22, here I am :)

I usually try not to "treat" myself that often. I got overweight in first place because, even though I was still growing up and wasn't very aware of that, I used to mistake treating myself with eating. Which meant that I wasn't eating just to fill my hunger, but also to release emotional stress, and generally because food…

Depends on the cost. If it's something negligible I probably would. Otherwise I could always keep my calories counted by myself reading food's nutritional values and using my HRM to keep track of my burns.

I'm a vegetarian too and I never exceed my protein intake, but I usually do quite fine! Those are the foods that increase my protein consumption looking at my diary: light feta cheese (10 gr with 50 gr); whole wheat bread (4 gr for 2 slices); parmesan cheese (7 gr with 20 gr grated); legumes: chickpeas (7 gr each 100 gr);…

I've read that those low calories oil are basically emulsions of 50% oil spread in water. They also contain soy lecithin and alchool (as preservative, I wonder which alchool do they use anyway), so I could always buy a sprayer, mix half oil and half water and that would be the same. Wouldn't know how to count calories then…

Diet chips are usually not fried (or at least the ones I've tried out... they were just baked in the oven). So I guess that some ingredients messed up with your stomach :/ and yeah you're right. Olive oil can be great here but the bottles from the grocery aren't anything special to be honest. :P

Well Jessica Alba isn't one of my favourite women at all but still better than Jennifer Lawrence. She doesn't look beautiful to me and neither funny or anything - I have to admit I can't stand her much. And it's not about her body. Anyway if I had to envy a woman it would be neither of them. But I'm kind of picky, Bryce…

I don't like working out so I'd just prefer not to eat instead, but unfortunately you need some exercise too. The amount of food you can eat to lose weight without exercising is very low. You might feel like wanting to eat more after a bit, and the only way to do so is exercising a little - so that you can eat your…

Everyone's body is different and works in a different way. If I didn't start with 1200 kcals a day I probably wouldn't have lost much during the first months. If I didn't eat 1200 kcals now, I wouldn't probably be losing at all (since I don't exercise much, since I plateau often, no matter what I do, since I need to lose…

Some people are just very shy. Considering that I've got most of my family on Facebook I don't really want to post it there. I'd prefer to say it to my close friends face by face.

I usually do nothing for at least a couple of days, except if I have to walk to some places for some reasons (like grocery shopping as so on).

Avoid bingeing, that's all

I think that most people forget that while you're running, walking, or doing any kind of cardio, you're still improving your muscles. You don't have to do EVERYTHING you can just do whatever you feel like doing. I barely lift weights because I don't have a personal trainer, I am not used to lifting and when I lift…

I am a uni student, so if you need any idea add me. I usually eat lots of vegs, legumes, fruit and try to avoid eating out (which isn't cheap at all). I carry for with me if needed, especially at university. I exercise at home most of the time, I've got a stationary bike and a step machine (worth the money and you can find…
