On my browser it doesn't put me any place in particular. I just type at the top. I can bottom quote for you if you'd prefer. I do agree that doing this routinely is not sustainable and will lead to long-term problems. But there is nothing at all wrong with having an occasional treat and burning it off in a single outing as…

But bulimia implies that you are not actually netting the correct # of calories. Because if you throw it up, you never really got it. In this case you presumably keep the wine down in addition to the calories burned during exercise. If I ingest 2800 calories and burn 600 above and beyond BMR, then I am getting within 10…

Per MFP, I burn about 2,200. So if I eat 2,200 AND drink a bottle of wine (2-3 beers is more likely for me, but just rolling with the set-up) I do in fact need to burn more through additional exercise. I have no idea how you can find counting calories in and out in order to arrive at/maintain a healthy weight as a "sick…

That was my thought exactly. Time to go for a run. The wine is waiting!

I didn't have a dramatic goal in mind, but I did lose about 25 pounds over the past 4 months, so I consider that success. I'm still in the early stages of figuring out the maintenance balance, but I'm getting pretty close. 0.4 pounds lost last week and stable weight for two weeks before that. Honestly it is just a matter…

I see any such fad diets (and really, if they are selling a book, that is the definition of fad diet) as the equivalent to paying off your debt with a one-time cash windfall. Yes there is a chance you take the immediate gains and live right going forward. But if you are like the vast majority of people, 6 months later you…

Call one of the numbers tonight. It doesn't require any official appointments or commitments. Just a person to talk to. And then follow through with some additional support going forward. There's nothing wrong with who you are. Yes you have some serious issues causing your problems, but those issues can be addressed. There…

I've got kids, so they have lots of ways to fill my time. But for you I might suggest going for a walk. If the weather isn't friendly, go for a mall walk. Then you aren't having to convince yourself to do heavy exercise AND you get the benefit of swapping positive net calories for negative. It won't just happen though. You…

Even if I was 100% healthy at my old body shape, I'd still want to lose weight to look better. Whereas if I had the look I wanted but not perfect health I wouldn't be too motivated to change. So for me, looking good has to be #1 (with improved health a wonderful side-effect).

Hopefully you found a solution months ago, but I had this (undiagnosed, but I'm pretty certain this is what it was) during and after training for my first half marathon 3 years ago. I was miserable for about 3 months. Went tubing one day with my 5 year old daughter - meaning that I was crouched over her stretching my calf…
