Of the smelly variety.

Would you believe, I have actually been to one (we didn't realise what it was until we got in there, then decided to stay for a drink because it was freezing out!) true to form, all it did was make me think "no one here looks like me. They are all beautiful. No one has a flat chest and wobbly belly" seriously, my brain. It…

I haven't logged at all today. I like the idea of signing up for something and focussing on that instead. I do have a tendency to fixate and obsess over things so I probably need to find a healthier thing to obsess over while I'm learning to get it under control.

This is me! Whatever I do it has to be perfect - even when I was little if I got an answer wrong on a spelling test or something I'd be really upset, even if my mark was still higher than everyone else's :-/ I always put loads of pressure on myself and I have an anxious disposition anyway so I quite often feel stressed…

I can't imagine ever having the confidence to do something like that! I don't dance with my belly covered up let alone out! Haha. Maybe one day.

You look incredible. I would love to have your figure, you have such a beautiful shape. I'm straight up and down like a ruler, no curves at all. I think I might need a break from logging like you did. I haven't logged this weekend. It freaked me out a bit but I resisted the temptation :-/
-
Don't worry - I'm not acting in a logical way by any means but even I don't think that's a good idea :smile:
-
Thank you. That exactly what I want, I don't want to sit in a room discussing why I feel like this and going round and round in circles - I'm not really interested in why, I just want to feel better.
-
I get up at 4:30am every morning to do a job that revolves around helping others. It is rewarding,and it should put things into perspective but it doesn't. I DON'T have the time to worry about myself so much, that's why I'm so tired. Thank you to everyone for your support. I haven't logged any food this weekend and I'm…

thanks everyone :smile: I will look into this on Monday.

My boyfriend said that I must be seeing something completely different to the rest of the world. I don't think so, I think I'm seeing it accurately but then obsessing over it and making it a bigger deal than it is. I have always wanted to run a sub 20 min 5k. Then the day I do it, what do I think? Not "wow, well done, look…
-
I know. Everything you say is completely true. My boyfriend fell for a girl that liked running, cycling, walking - and then going out for nice meals. Not this ridiculous nervous wreck that analyses everything she puts in her mouth and panics if she doesn't know the macros of things. I need to sort it out. I need to stop…
-
I do need more sleep. I get up at 4-4:30 am every weekday and sometimes don't get to sleep until midnight. Thanks everyone. This site is amazing. I have wonderful friends and family but I couldn't say what I typed to them because I'm embarrassed, ashamed, worried and I also feel like they wouldn't understand. And I don't…

I am thinking about seeing a doctor, but my mum took me to see one when I was young about similar things and it didn't really help (evidently, because I'm nearly 30 and STILL having issues). I wonder whether not logging any more would relax me a little and whether anyone has experienced the same thing. This extreme feeling…
-
Thank you. I can't talk to anyone because all I get is "but you're so skinny". I don't care about being thin, I want to look strong and for my stomach to match my arms and legs :-( but really I think I'd settle for just feeling happy :-(
-
I also found lowering my protein and increasing my fat helped a lot.
-
I have IBS, so I know how you feel. I tolerate avocados, Greek yogurt, homemade rye bread, sweet potato, nut butters and chicken well; soy, cows milk and wheat not so well. I drink unsweetened almond milk instead. And 100ml of prune juice when I'm having a flare up :s I can reach a decent calorie goal now without eating…

I haven't had mine long, I've wanted one for AGES and then all my friends/family bought me one for my birthday...now I'm in love :love:

My kitchen aid mixer... :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :love:

You would look better if you put on a little weight my love, I say that because I have looked like you in my seemingly endless quest to get exactly the same tummy you want and the only thing that has worked was eating more and lifting weights. I was probably about 18 when I looked as you do in your pictures, I'm 29 now so…
-
I'm sorry you feel so terrible - like lots of people on here, I've got a story or two about being dumped. It gets better, and (as many have already said) you will find the right person when you value yourself a little more and probably when you least expect it. And I echo the other comments about your profile picture, it…

I got that yesterday when I went out with work colleagues. I work in a mostly male environment and for some reason this can make the girls very catty and competitive. It was a leaving dinner and I put on a dress which was quite tight, because I am proud of how hard I work to stay the size I am. The other girls are all…
-
I feel for you. I have a epigastral hernia in the centre of my upper abdomen below my ribcage. It has been there for about six months and all I have been doing is pushing it back in because I am scared that if I have the surgery, I will be unable to exercise while I recover and it will probably come back anyway :cry: I…
-
I just came back from a holiday in which I ate and ate and ate some more. And then some more besides. It is probably best not to mention the beer as well. I got back and weighed myself and the scale told me I'd put on 8lb! After a minor freak out I went back to my usual routine, resisting the urge to drastically cut my…
-
I do "help yourself" type dishes like chicken fajitas or tacos with lean beef or turkey mince. That way, if people want to pig out, they can do :laugh: and I can work out my own portions/filling combinations without looking like I'm making everyone eat the way I do. As for desserts - a blog called "Chocolate Covered Katie"…
-
I know exactly what you mean. All my favourite foods are carbs and when I try to go under 50g a day I manage about two days before I turn into an ogre from hell. I've been eating Quest bars when I have a crazy carb craving which has helped me loads - to me they taste like having a treat :smile: Saying that I have lost body…
-
Good work everyone for deciding to make positive changes in your lives :smile: I know no one wants to hear this but: You will hit a plateau eventually at 1,200 and the last bit will not shift. I know - I tried. I am 5'9" and exercise at least five times as week as well as cycling to work. I didn't get where I wanted eating…
-
If it wasn't for the chocolate chip cookie dough Quest bar, I would probably have gone insane a long time ago trying to cut out junk. They are amazing.

I have a large rib cage and no waist. In the process of trying to flatten out my tummy I have previously ended up looking like a skeleton with a wobbly belly because my ribs stick out so much. I'm lifting weights and eating more protein now and it's getting better :)
