I'm having some bad days lately as well. I'm just frustrated. I haven't lost a single pound, in fact I gained 4, but I don't want to put those four lbs on here because I don't want to share that with anyone. I'm afraid of being judged if I go over my calories, so I have stopped completing my diaries, and if I don't eat…

Same height, current weight, and ultimate goal as me! I'll add you.

I've actually been worried about this too. I don't always eat "lunch," but I try to have a substantial snack during my lunch break to keep my blood sugar from crashing, and I have something mid-afternoon. I just feel better eating small meals throughout the day to keep me going rather than having 3 specific meals. The…

Probably Red Robin. I get the petite guacamole burger wrapped in lettuce, because I don't like their gf buns, and I can't eat a normal size burger, but I love the quacamole, and it's really hard to regulate how many fries I eat when they just keep coming to the table. They have really good sangria too. I try not to go to…

I'm Livi. I'm 27, I have anorexia and I also have bipolar1, and ptsd. I'm trying to lose weight that I gain over the summer due to a major change in medication, but I'm also trying to learn how to reframe my thoughts and behaviors regarding food and my weight. The support and understanding I have experienced within this…

I didn't meet my calories intake yesterday, and when I tried to complete my diary I got this shame message about the dangers of eating too little. I know it's automatic, and this is just an app, it's not tailored to give a me a reassuring message and say, "tomorrow will be better!" It still made me feel awful! I just…

I have celiac and had to stop eating gluten 14 years ago. It sucked. There weren't great alternatives then, and I kept trying to eat gluten hoping it was all just a myth, or a misunderstanding, but it was definitely not. About 5 years ago someone was talking to my mom about the " dangers of wheat," and my mom assumed it…

Lack of motivation is definitely a big factor. Some days I am just really tired, or I just feel off and getting out of my pajamas feels like more work than I am willing to do. I haven't had as many days like that since I started leveling on my meds, but it's still a reality, and definitely a struggle. Luckily I have dogs…

I had the hardest time accepting the fact that getting off the excessive medication that was doing me no real good was causing me to gain weight. It was the best thing I have done for my mental health, but it was so hard to accept that I was not in control of my weight despite my efforts. The good that came from that has…

I'm also 27! And also trying to lose 30 lbs.

I am struggling with this too. I have to tell myself that in order to take care of my mind, I have to take care of my body. Instead of focusing on the thought of eating, I try to look at food as fuel and think about what food I am putting into my body in terms of its nutrients, and what I need to use it for. I have…

I have struggled with an eating disorder for almost 20 years, and I have just started seeing a nutritionist who specializes in eating disorders. The most difficult thing about dealing with this has been trying to eat enough everyday. I feel better about myself when I have calories left over, and when I am seeing the scale…

I finally decided to log in today for the first time in 4 years. I have just started getting treatment for my eating disorder, and I know that in the past when my weight has gone up, calorie counting and food journaling has helped me control my weight, but it has also fueled the things I struggle with within my eating…

Are you gluten intolerant?

I have bipolar 1, adhd, ptsd, and have just started seeing a nutritionist who specializes in ED. It was been emotionally exhausting. I decided to start seeing a new psychiatrist this spring, because my insurance wouldn't cover my appointments with the Dr I'd been seeing for the past 5 years, and I just started feeling…

I'm 5'0 and trying to lose 30-35 lbs

I have bipolar disorder. I started seeing a new psychiatrist this summer mostly due to insurance, but once I switched drs I realized that my bipolar disorder was not under control, my anxiety was through the roof, and I was on a ridiculous amount of medications which were actually doing more harm than good. I slowly…

it's nice to hear from someone else with a gluten intolerance. This has been my biggest weight loss issue. I just can't digest it properly so the weight sticks around, and generally in my tummy. I'm completely gluten free now, but it's still hard to deal with. How has it been going for you?
