You are exercising way too much and eating too little.

The email came across as polite but subtly passive aggressive in my opinion. Whenever someone calls out a public figure on their weight it's almost always because they don't look how people think they "should," not about how healthy they are. Like someone else said, she could go home and eat next to nothing on some super…

I just started IF this week at the suggestion of my boyfriend. In the past I thought it seemed dumb and I couldn't fathom not eating breakfast, but the more I've read about it, the more I like how it sounds. I'm doing it leangains-style except slightly modified, 14 hours fasting and 10 hours fed. So far, surprisingly, I…

20 lbs sounds like too much for just 2 months, but I'd like to lose at least 10 by then. Starting weight: 150 Halloween goal weight: 140

Don't be too nervous! I actually liked month 2 more than month 1. Keep it up!

I'm mostly vegan, for ethical reasons.

ITT the OP completely misses the point of online forums

Christmas Vacation! Love that movie! Also, I think that's the most perfectly placed lone use of the f-word in a movie, ever. My line is "You smell like a baby prostitute."

Good post, however, I only suggested to be aware of an eating disorder in my initial post because I became vegetarian in the midst of an eating disorder myself when I was a teenager. I told my family I was doing it for ethical reasons, and I honestly did (and do still) care a great deal about those reasons. But it also…

The sugar found in milk is the natural sugar lactose and there is nothing wrong with is. Same type of natural sugar that's found in plain yogurt.

Yeah, I found that to be true. It's not like, boom, suddenly looked a lot skinnier during the second month. But it takes a while to notice a change in your body. During the first month I felt like I pretty much looked the same the entire time, but during month 2 when comparing pics from day 1, I started noticing there…

I used the nutrition guide to calculate my calorie needs, but besides that, I just ate healthy.

I like this response... the guy in my situation has never been in a serious relationship before and on several occasions he's said things like "I've never done this before, you need to offer me some guidance" ... like, as an excuse for why he's moving slowly with some things in regards to making more effort to get to know…

Thanks for reminding me that 21 is still pretty young. It's weird though because lots of people I know (my age) have gotten engaged recently. And then when I see that I start wondering "what's wrong with me that I don't even have a boyfriend??" But then I try to remind myself that honestly I'm way too immature for that...…

I know his friends really well. His family lives several states away, however -- we're in college -- so meeting them is not really an option. My parents live close by and I've suggested he stop by to visit, but he never exactly jumped on that proposition.

I'm only struggling because I care about him a lot and hate to lose him as a friend. There's just not a way to make it work like that though.

I think you're right.

double post, oops

Yeah... I think it's easy to assume he just wants to stay in it so he doesn't lose the sexual relationship. But I honestly believe that he cares about me a lot, and that makes it so much more difficult. If I was 100% sure he was only trying to stay with me for sex, it would be really easy to walk away right now, no…

I think he's a good guy at heart. He hasn't been totally honest with me in the past and I know this is partly because he's scared to talk about feelings. He is a caring person though... I've seen him be extremely mature in several situations where I wouldn't have known how to react. I've never met his family and he doesn't…

Thank you for being able to offer your perspective on this... what was the outcome of your situation if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks for reminding me to stay strong in my convictions. I hate making people upset, and knowing I'm hurting him just made me wonder if I'm doing the right thing. But this is about how I feel, not how he feels.

The part I bolded really stood out to me. I have definitely felt used at certain points throughout the last year but I'm sure he never did.

I loooove theater :) high school drama club was when I was in my prime lol. My fave shows I've seen live are Wicked, Phantom, and In The Heights.

This blows. And I keep second guessing myself. Like, maybe I only talked myself into thinking I'm over him. Idk.

I eat chocolate every single day and I've lost 12 lbs this summer.

Yeah... just eat real food! Calories aren't bad! Lol

^^

How long have you been at it?

I think I've tried just about every variation of oatmeal on the planet, but never chocolate. Chocolate with oatmeal scares me lol. Oatmeal and PB is awesome though. Maybe I'll attempt to get over my fear sometime in the near future.
