Lost 35lbs two years ago, then started binge-eating like no tomorrow, and gained all of it back plus ten pounds more. I lost the ten again and now am working on losing the rest. It's definitely a struggle and I'm trying to not put deadlines on myself, or force severe caloric restrictions. That's what started the whole…

The thing is, it's so incredibly chalky and gritty that I automatically recoil when it nears my oral orifice.

Oh my goodness, I will definitely look into that! I have a beautiful Russian blue who might need the protein. Not that I'm saying she's flabby or anything.. oh I hope she doesn't get hurt.

Thanks guys! I'll do the coffee, the muffins, and possibly make a crazy cushion out of pp, then throw out the rest. Haha the darned containers are staring at me now...

i am, too, and if you're a tiny 5-ft-2 woman, trust me it's a pain. My calories are blown over in a blink of an eye if I'm not tersely careful. GAHHHHH.

This + There is no "next time," it won't be here later so eat it NOW.

I see you're new to this. Your entire "diet" is a noob mistake and will come crashing down on you.

Great. I'll have your portion, then. But seriously, 12 servings? First of all, AHAHAHA. More like 2.

A person can have anorexia nervosa, despite being at a healthy or even above-average weight. I know, mindblowing. It's the mentality, as well as dysfunctional eating patterns and relationship with food, that defines the disorder. Also, had the duration been any longer, she might have become underweight, thereby satisfying…

I find forcing myself to drink water almost activates my hunger- it's as if the sipping, swallowing, and general feeling of having consumed something (and yet nothing) preps my mind and stomach for a meal, or snacking at the very least. I said "screw it" to the 8-cups-a-day rule a long time ago and now only drink when my…

I almost never sweat. Never bought or used deodorant in my life, nor have ever experienced the "gray-shirt-sweat-stain" phenomenon. I think it's genetics? That said, if I exert myself in baking weather, yeah I'll sweat a bit above the mouth, near the temples, etc.

You've still been eating 600-800 calories, I see. Why are you asking for advice if you're dead-set on your ED ways?

There's only one number you need to know http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Put in your stats, and next to TDEE is your maintenance number. If you don't want to fall back into your disordered eating patterns, make sure you hit this number each and every day. I know what it's like, best of luck to you.

1. Eggs 2. Yogurt 3. Coconut oil 4, Bacon 5. Salmon 6. Green tea matcha 7. BSN protein powder 8. Avocado 9. Heavy cream 10. Shrimp

OMG this is EXACTLY the mentality I had! I just wanted to sleep away the whole friggin' day, wanted desperately to forget that it STILL wasn't the next day.

Honestly, if pressed to choose for my own body type, I would go with skinny fat. Before I get bashed for this- let me explain. First off, less maintenance work is always welcome in my hectic schedule. Less stressing about exercise leads to a happier and healthier me, with significantly less colds, better skin and just in…

I need to remember this.

Yes, I almost feel sorry for my mom, sometimes, when I find myself spewing diet-and-fitness-related mumbo jumbo to her for minutes on end. She doesn't care, she eats normally, has a normal body image, and is happy with her good foods and sensible daily walks. All she wants to know is if I'm healthy and doing well, and…

dense, rich red velvet cake with buttermilk cream cheese frosting, followed closely by deep-fried crispy chicken (dark, oily meat) in some sort of sticky and spicy sauce.

Wonderful article, explains why I was, at one point, eating 150-300 calories (yes, I had an eating disorder) for months, maintaining a bodyfat percentage of 17%, which wasn't bad but for eating something akin to air, wouldn't add up logically. I mean, one bowl of clear tomato soup for MONTHS and 17-FRICKIN-PERCENT? Skin…

Your profile pic indicates more in the 3/4 - 1 cup mark. Nice job!

Oh yes. How blissful would that be?

I'm sorry- what?? Tuna what?? Did I miss something here.

If I sprinkle cayenne pepper on top, will it boost my metabolism and render the calories from the Oreos negative?

I know the feeling. Sometimes I binge-eat til I actually fear my stomach will rupture if I move the wrong way, sending me into sepsis. Yeah, it gets that bad for me.

Okay, so I've cleaned up all the empty microwave dinners, cake boxes and granola bar wrappers in my room, tucked a pillow beneath my bloated, taut belly, and am ready to type. I have no lessons, no inspiring pinterest-y quote. Instead, I'm still a wreck, fresh from my latest disaster, and I'm deeply sorry for that. But I…

BUMP this is identical to my story.
