I would stab 5 people in exchange for weighing 240 lbs.

You are not alone. I know the feelings so well especially the stress and lack of sleep eating. Those really add to out of control overeating for me. I finally acknowledged this week that I unconsciously overeat when I am very tired. For some reason I won't just go get into the bed, I head for the kitchen and eat something…

Yes I share that same issue. I work so hard to lose the weight and then once it starts coming off I self-sabotage by nibbling here, grazing there, just a few more because I'm an adult and can eat what I want...yada yada ya. This has been going on for years and I finally just this week began to seriously look at it in…

Large pepperoni pizza with extra cheese, extra pepperoni from Cybelle's, 2 ginger beers, as many raspberry and oat bites and salted caramel brownie bites from Whole Foods as I could fit into my stomach which I estimate to be about 10 of each.

Have you looked at what you are eating? I noticed you haven't used the food tracking tool on this site. That could very possibly be a reason.

Hi HoneyLB, Something that struck me when I read your post is how much it resembles my behavior with trying to lose weight. I tend to try something and when it doesn't magically work overnight or in a week, I stop doing it and declare it as a scam or as not for me. The only time something did was South Beach which I did…

You're asking us for permission and trying to justify your having it. That isn't necessary. You're making a conscious decision to eat something that you normally don't eat which can be anxiety provoking but it also takes the joy out of having pizza. Eat the pizza and stop tripping.

I find that looking at the person and not saying anything works quite well in situations where people do things such as offer me something they know I shouldn't have whether it be food, drugs or alcohol or to join them on an interstate crime spree. That way I am leaving it to them to interpret my lack of a verbal response.…

You said, "Guess I just wanted to let someone know." Thank you for sharing this with me. You are very brave to give this secret away. Bulimia is when you eat a large amount of food and throw it up using fingers, objectives such as spoons, or syrup of ipecac, use a laxative or a device induce a bowel movement. I was bulimic…

You stated, "I stopped using MFP from Nov-Feb. and my eating isn't as great as it used to be when I was losing weight..." This is most likely the reason. I hesitate to say this for fear it won't make any sense to you but three pounds gained in that long amount of time isn't that big of a deal. If you said you gained three…

Once you have your first 24 hours of eating on your food plan hold onto it. It is easier to keep those first 24 hours than it is to get them back once you have lost them. Starting over becomes a way of sabotaging yourself because you never really move forward. You are doing this dance of back and forth, back and forth but…

I'd kill nine people to have lost 49 lbs. You vent all you want in the MFP forums, just keep at whatever you are doing that is helping you lose weight and you will have the body you want.

Fall once, get up twice.

I don't think you are wrong to feel t hat way. It is what you feel. I think you are sad because you want him to be more supportive of your eating vegetables in order to lose weight. Him not leaving the broccoli for you is kind of like him saying, "I don't care" or acknowledge what you are doing. Another way to look at his…

I hate you right now. You know I am sitting here waiting for dinner time and you just HAD to go and mention my favorite recipe. *Stalks off stomping her feet and flops down in the corner chair pouting*

Long term Zoloft user here. I haven't had an of the zombie effect you are talking about. But everybody is different. There are days that I have high levels of anxiety and my go-to coping response is to zone out either by dissociating or by overeating so that I am in a food space-out. Using the Zoloft make me able to…

[/quote] "Any diet that claims to detoxify the body, cleanse the body, and tells you to not consume any real food for any portion of time is a waste of time. [/quote] I'd agree with this because of my own personal experience however I acknowledge that everyone is different. I did the no eating on certain days and at…

The same thing I do every birthday Pinky, try to TAKE OVER THE WORLD..... Happy Birthday regardless of what you eat. It's a big deal that you made it to another birthday on this crazy, violent, unsafe planet we call home.

I'm not sure if I make the connection between your gender and what you eat but then I'm a woman. Maybe it is a man thing but I'd don't feel less like a woman because of what I eat, but I do feel like less of a person because of how I look being fat. My suggestion would be if you're really seriously having difficult with…

You can still have pork chops as you prepared them. The 600 calories at a meal isn't as bad as you are making it out to be. If you are eating 600 calories per meal and having 3 meals per day that is 1800 calories. Depending on what your weight loss / maintenance goal(s) are you can still have the chops are you prepare…

All of them. Love Pho. The perfect meal any season.

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes. Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? No. What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Didn't eat late night. Worked 12 hours (12 hours of income!) What would I have done differently? Gotten up earlier. Eaten lunch and eaten the dinner I had planned. What is today's personal…

YEAH YOU!!!!! You give me hope.

You are exactly where you need to be right now. If you want to lose weight, you can. You need to do something very simple and that is to change the things you are telling yourself about not being able to do it because you can. You are not unique or different than anyone else in the world and if people can lose 200 lbs, 500…

Dear Tummy of Fungaar on9886, I understand. Do what you gotta do. I was taking away a lot and not giving anything. We will always have the good times before you got all obsessed with me. I don't know what it is but a lot of people get attached to me, maybe because I am so sweet, maybe because I am so cheap and easy. Take…

My nutritionist said 1510 for me but I dialed it back to 1490 after a month because I was feeling too full and / or not eating the food I had planned. I am comfortably full eating the 1490 calories per day spread between three meals and 3 snacks per day. I lowered the carbs from what the plan stated because I have had…

That's a lot of left over calories. I would look at spreading those calories throughout my meals so that I don't have so many at the end of the day. Add a bit more of the food to your meals and see if that works. Also, if you aren't having any snacks, you can add in one, two or three throughout the day. You could easily…

The reason you can't find a substitute for chips is because there is no substitute. You can try the low cal and the reduced fat and baked or even the veggie chips but it just isn't the same. You CAN have a healthy relationship with potato chips. It will take work on your part and it might take a long time but it can be…

Recovering night eater, anorexic and bulimic here! Yeah, night eating. So insidious and such a hard habit to break. I used to do some of my best binging and purging late at night. What I have learned that works for me is to add the foods that I crave the most -- chips and sweets and bread -- into my meal plans. At times it…
