Ew. Not a gamer. PBM has a body shot in their photos.

Bunch of *kitten*-kissing going on in this thread... But really, yah, she's cute. Kind of wish she wasn't so I didn't have to be a total hypocrite.

Yep ^. It's okay to have a treat every once and a while, as long as you don't let it turn into a binge as I usually do. Since I know this about myself, for me it's best to just avoid the treat all together, but if you can have a treat and get right back to your plan, there's nothing wrong with that! Maybe workout a little…

I don't usually get hungry until dinner and then I'm INSANELY hungry, so I have to force myself to eat more during the day. I usually eat every 3-4 hours, 100-300 cal per "meal" and make sure I get some protein in, and I also drink quite a bit of coffee and tea in between which curbs any cravings nicely. I also eat pretty…

I was just reading an article today that said people with food addictions have areas of their brains stimulated when looking at pictures of food the same way a drug addicts brain is when they are having a craving. Plus there's some ingredient in cheese that is apparently as addictive as heroin! I totally believe food is…

I wish more people would educate themselves about artificial sweeteners and just how bad they are for the human body... In my eyes it's an absolute crime that these products are even available for purchase.

I know I didn't post this topic, but I just want to say thank you to everyone who replied because your answers have helped so much. I'm on day one of being binge free again and as we all know this is the hardest day. I'm online to distract myself and though most of the strategies mentioned I already had heard, it's so nice…

I added you. :) And I invite anyone going through a recovery process to add me too.

My two best friends are super thin. I always feel like the fat friend even though I know I'm not THAT big, but secretly I'm insanely jealous of both of them and I want us to all be the same size. Sometimes I avoid hanging out with them because I feel too fat. Wow that is shallow! And depressing! haha but it's a secret so I…

It's 1 am and I'm avoiding snacking by typing this right now... Nights just kill me! I feel like I'm hungry all the time.

I like your attitude!

Got to have serious respect for a man rocking the Borat!

This is adorable, & nice work!

I feel like our motivations are similar. THE BEACH. Be my first MFP friend?

Truer words have never been spoken. Still terrified to make my diary public, you're very brave!

Finally some small boob appreciation in the world! Success!

I was a complete zombie for the 3 years that I was on antidepressants, I didn't exercise at all but I also didn't have a whole lot of an appetite due to the pills so I luckily didn't gain any weight. Once I got off them though, I used exercise as my antidepressant. I know that's not going to work for everyone, and meds…

You could be deficient in a certain mineral or vitamin and your body is trying to tell you by using hunger signals. I would pay attention to what you're craving when you're in these strange hunger situations; salty, sweet etc. and do a google search to find out what your body is missing based on that. I saw this on Dr Oz…

Bad idea. Try Melatonin instead. All natural. No side effects.

Will power.

you've probably gained muscle by the sounds of your routine..

I see that there are a lot of really great responses in here, so I guess I'm just wondering: how were you a member of PETA for 5 years and not a vegetarian? Anyways, good luck. It's really not as difficult as every carnivore out there will lead you to believe. If you're serious about being veg, better get used to the "..so…

I've never heard of this book, but after reading the rules I'd say I live my life with a very similar outlook. I will have to check it out. Thanks for sharing this.

Artificial hormones are terrible for your body in general... But anyways, I gained about 5 pounds going on it several years ago, and though I've lost weight since going off of it I wouldn't say that was the reason behind my weight loss. I've never heard of anyone gaining significant weight solely because they went off the…

I never realized just how many other people have a binge problem.. I suddenly feel so much less alone. Today will be 3 in a row. I'm really not happy with any other days I've had so far in July.. so let's just say I started 3 day ago :)

It's true, since you're in the water you don't notice yourself sweating but it's a full body workout!

Walking in a pool is super low impact on leg joints. You could even do some aquasize which is super fun!

So, I know this is my first post here, but I'd just like to remind everyone that THIS IS THE INTERNET. Don't take it so seriously, if you can't handle a comment someone is making about themselves, you shouldn't be here. I'm all for being positive and encouraging, but you can't control what other people say so it's best to…
