  • Uh...actually, I feel like my way of doing it is far less "force[ful] than anything I've done in the past. And please don't misunderstand: I don't 'jump between diets.' I've just struggled with weight-loss for many years, so I have a lot of experience with a number of different diets. And, of course, 'perseverance' is the…
  • I've had one before, but it was kind of a hassle (and sometimes I thought it contributed to my binges, if that makes sense), so I got rid of it; however, I often find myself wishing I still had it. You're right--I need to get one because A. what you said about the weights on packages B. I've been a lot better not bingeing…
  • Rice Report: I took everyone's advice, and some modifications are worth mentioning. I measured out the rice (1/4 cup dry), and increased the liquid. I used 1/2 cup V8 juice and 1/2 cup low sodium free range chicken broth. I increased the liquid because, in the past, the liquid absorbed/evaporated while the rice kernels…
  • Exactly. It can get very confusing when trying to figure it out!
  • I was just wondering if anyone had experience cooking one serving since often cooking times vary when we reduce amounts by a significant quantity. Sometimes it's hard to achieve the same effect (quality-wise) when we change the recipe-especially by THAT much. Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate them.
  • Thank you. I was under the impression that one serving was 1/4 cup cooked, but when I think about it, that seems quite ridiculous. I'll try it that way and see how it goes. Thank you so much!
  • "but it was my ex boyfriend who would call me such degrading names and everytime id start to gain a little self confidence hed shoot me down and tell me i was in denial and didnt have the right to think anything good about myself or that i deserved being treated any other way than disgusting." Sounds like you've already…
  • Yeah, Girl~Start by changing that name! I can relate to so much you've said, and you really helped me because sometimes I feel like I'm being ridiculous by having those feelings. Ridiculous or not, they're legitimate feelings, but I agree with another poster that we should use those feelings to motivate ourselves! The good…
  • I'm also 5.1 1/2, and I would like to lose 20 pounds. My eating habits are terrible, and right now I'm just doing calories in/calories out. I realize that A LOT of people believe that that's no good, but this is my sixth day, and I'm going to try it out for a while. I have tried every diet in the book, and none of them…
  • I'm just checking in for my fourth full day of IF, and it's going very well. I'm still having to combine it it MFP, but so far, I have stayed within my calories--except that first day, and I'm finding that the fasting is making me feel very good, sleep well, and I haven't binged. I began a binge yesterday, but when I put…
  • Well, today I went a little over my calories--I ate about 100 too many--but I feel like I would have done far worse if I hadn't put myself within an eating window. I fasted from 5pm Saturday night until about 11am Sunday morning. I made a little panini sandwich and then had two waffles and a candy bar. Then I binged on…
  • I've been a binge-eater for many years, and, in the past, I've been able to maintain a decent weight; however, this is no longer possible for me, so I've decided to try IF. I did it for a few days a couple of weeks ago--felt wonderful--and then 'fell off the wagon.' I have begun again, and I am hoping for good results.…
