'Anorexia' just means lack of appetite.

Chia pudding with vanilla protein powder - 150 calories

I'm one of the newbies who just joined, and I was a bit anxious after I read this thread :P. But I'm not going to give up, I can't believe I haven't joined before, it's so great!

Well, your prepregnancy-weight should be a good weight then. :)

You want to lose weight, so why would you increase your calories if you're not even hungry? Starvation mode is a myth.

It may also be gluten intolerance. I have this, and I had the same symptoms until I went gluten free.

I love coke zero <3 my new year's resolution is to not buy it anymore though, I want to eat cleaner.

I'm preparing lots of different, delicious but healthy food so that I don't have to count calories but it's still not a cheat day.

Find a way to break the habit. Drink something, chew gum, stop procrastinating by snacking :P And just don't bring snacks to work.

I'd be afraid that it becomes a habit...you're cheating no one but yourself. There's always a healthy option at any restaurant.

If you don't feel like this is a natural reaction of you body, then maybe it isn't. Like you said, it could be binge eating disorder, if this happens frequently. It isn't natural for the body to crave a whole box of donuts. If hunger isn't the reason you binge, try to identify the real reason. :) I know the feeling of what…

It does make a difference, if you replace it with something containing more nutrients, for example. Bread really is just empty carbs.

I would try completely cutting out refinded sugar and curb your cravings with fruit.

I went by what would be healthy for me, just realised my mistake. Of course there's a difference between a 5'4 girl and a 5'11 guy. 1400 calories would be perfectly healthy for me, of course it's too low for a guy.

It looks healthy :) but I don't think you have to log sugar free gum.

It may not be calorie- or carb-related at all: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/809199-if-you-feel-tired-and-awful-all-the-time-read-this

That's just what happened to me. When I started to take a multivitamin it was like a miracle. :) thanks for sharing this!

I agree :) Why eat more than you're comfortable with? Obviously your body doesn't ask for more food.

Depends on what you eat. You should eat protein and no carbs for dinner.

In my opinion you looked best in the second picture, although I think you look good in all of them :). Try to be at a weight that makes YOU happy. You boyfriend should NEVER make you feel bad about your body.

I don't really care about this :D as long as they don't disappear completely lol.

Hi :) I used to live in Dubai, but now I'm back in Germany, sadly :/. There's so much pressure to stay slim in Dubai if you're always at the beach, haha.

I wouldn't limit myself too much...it's better to drink a diet coke than being too disciplined and then binging on junk food, which is what would happen to me if I stopped allowing myself even zero-calorie things.

Studying, or using your brain :P. On days when I study, I forget to eat all day. Also, I would never even keep crisps or biscuits in the house...you should never eat them.

I just drink tea, all day. I actually drink too much...yesterday I drank 4 liters.

I lost 25 lbs two years ago and regained almost nothing. In my opinion, the whole 'starvation mode' myth is a hype. I'm pretty sure that if you regain, it's because you go back to your old eating habits. If you eat junk, you WILL gain weight.

How I wish THAT was true! ;)

I once did a 750 calorie/day diet for about 1/2 year. Afterwards I did gain back about 10 lbs, but I was pretty much able to maintain my weight then. I don't think you damage your body bad enough on your average crash diet so that you gain back 50+lbs or stay this way for life. It all depends on if you've learned to eat…

I think asparagus is pretty low-carb and has only 15 calories/100g.

My BMR is supposedly 1250. How I wish that was true!
