It is tough to quit but after a bit you'll actually be a bit disgusted if you eat something really sugary. It will almost be cloying in your mouth.

When I was young I had such low self-esteem I thought I was the fattest most hideous person on the planet and criticized myself constantly. It took years and years of my husband reassuring me before I believed him. I see pictures of myself from back then and see that I actually was a knock out. I regret losing those years…

Had to be easily 3,000-5,000 a day. Sometimes I'd think to myself that it had been weeks since I'd eaten any real food. I became malnourished eating like that and I was 150 pounds overweight. Just disgusting to think of it now.

I'm definitely in. Bookmarking page now so I can keep up.

Be careful, this is how my eating disorder started. It just sort of evolves into eating less and less, being afraid to eat more. The weighing and guilt become all consuming over time. The obsession will make you crazy. Take care of yourself.

SW 240 CW 111.4 GW 95 (I'm not a large person and this is in the normal BMI for me.) Weigh in dates 4/1 4/7 4/14 4/21 4/28 I'd like to stop snacking on carbs and junk food. Seems I'm starting to backslide a bit in this area.

The first time I had to have my husband put on my shoes and socks because I couldn't any longer.

17 pounds.

My nose is smaller. Who knew noses got fat too. But I guess the fat is distributed everywhere.

Wonderful progress. You have a very pretty face and your double chin has disappeared with no sag.

Your muffin top is gone for sure. You're going to drive men crazy with that figure when you get to goal. What a waist and hips. Gorgeous.

I don't get winded when I walk or use stairs. I have a thigh gap. I'm 5' 0" and people tell me I'm tiny. People treat me better. My asthma is gone. This really surprised me to find that is was caused by my weight. I read every post here and want to congratulate everyone on their great success.

I'm sorry people treat you badly. It's nothing to do with you, but with those that feel the need to make someone else feel bad in order to make themselves feel better. They probably have miserable lives. I worked at Wal-Mart for three weeks last year and walked out. I have never in my life been treated so badly by people.…

This a very serious and dangerous habit. Please seek professional help as soon as you can. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bulimia/DS00607

I actually had the Duodenal Switch and have lost well over 100% of my excess weight. I've kept it off for over three years with little effort. Guess I should also add I've lost 140 pounds.

About a year and a half.

You're very beautiful.

You must be so proud of yourself. I feel proud for you. Keep it up.

You've no idea how petrified I am to eat more a day. I know it's not normal. I was eating about 400 a day but did end up malnourished and in the hospital for 14 days with an NG tube pumping 24/7. I upped my calories and joined a gym after I got home. This way I think I'll be okay and avoid having to return to the hospital.…

I'm too cheap to buy dumbbells so I use two large cans of spaghetti sauce. I've know idea what they weigh.

I figured it this way: My BMR is 1200. You have to have a daily deficit of 500 calories a day to lose one pound a week. 1200 - 500 = 800. If I eat 1200 a day I'll only end up gaining and I've worked too hard to get where I am today. I'm afraid to eat too many calories.

Male or Female - female Age 49 Height - 5' 0" Current weight (if you feel comfortable) -107 Goal weight - 90 Number of calories you eat - 800 Number of calories you NET - this confuses me so I can't say Number of calories you typically burn each day for exercise AND if you eat them back - 300 and I don't eat them back

I wanna puke over this post it's so nasty.

I do and I only get what's on the list which is only the loss leaders in the weekly sales ads. Lure me in but I'm not falling for them figuring I'm going to buy the other expensive stuff in the store. I go to wal mart for everything else and I still stick to my list.

I also count what's left over. Better to over log than under log calories.

I eat one diet meal such as Lean cuisine. Then it's light yogurt, apples, and oranges until I get to my calorie goal. I'm sort of afraid to eat anything else.

this dates back to 1998. I'd just gotten on the net and discovered I need a damn username for just about every site I went to. Everything I put in was in use. One day I'm sitting there thinking of something and I really wanted to use jade. There was a ticket stub from a Rush concert my husband had gone too. Made me think…

Lionel Barrymore - silent and talkie star and great-uncle of Drew Barrymore. (Hope I did this right.)

Oh, that wasn't the right thing to say. No wonder she got mad and walked away. It probably made her feel bad about herself and her body.

Okay, I admit I gossip all the time. I'm nosy too and will ask people outright pointed intrusive questions about things. I wish I didn't do these things, but it's so automatic I don't know how I'd change it.
