I didn't expect these kind of responses. I'm deleting my account here. Please ignore this thread.

The only reason I resorted to sarcastic responses was due to my responses. This is the first official time I've been accused of trolling. I'm actually surprised. Especially since I've genuinely responded to people looking for advice here before. English is not my first language and some of what I wrote initially has been…

Don't beat yourself up! It took my until this thread to realize it IS funny.

Thanks for the responses you guys. I'm not going to eat back my vomit - it's been flushed. If I'll have a couple of drinks tonight I'll purge those too. I'll make sure I end up at zero. I still don't know how much I vomited up.

Something does not make sense. So the food is absorbed while in your mouth. I suppose that's why bulemics are so fat? I mean, look at Nicole Scherzinger, she's like a whale.

I'm just curious if the calories from my dinner are gone or not. I felt sick so I used my toothbrush. I want to know if anything I eat are added further to my calories or if those last ones ar eliminated

So riddle me this - I just purged and it tasted like chorizo. Do I eliminate the chorizo from my diary or count half of it?

That doesn't answer anything at all. What will have a bile aftertaste? Doesn't say anything about quantity

That's kind of hard...even if you're dedicated, how do you know what is what?

I am a pear too, and like others say, you cannot change genetics. I think there are advantages to every shape though - I've always had a nice bum and a flat stomach and slim arms, even though my thighs store fat. My sister is an apple and she has the advantage of slim thighs, large breasts for her shape but less bum and an…

I think, like others have said, if you want soda and drink it anyway, replace it with diet soda. Diet soda > regular soda. But of course water is better than diet soda, that's not really a question. I'm assuming people ask because they are addicted to soda or want something sweet, but would like a better option. My…

I'm 5"9. I eat 1300 calories a day. Don't have exercise regime at the moment, but go for powerwalks when I can. If I start harder exercise, I suppose I'll eat some back. I usually do a fast day of 500 cals on Sundays just to make sure I have a deficit by the end of the week. My TDEE is about 1750 so I need to go low to…

Isn't every article in the daily mail like this, in larger or smaller degree? If someone wants to be fat, they can be fat. It has nothing to do with me. I do find it annoying when they complain though.

Are there any other sources for fat you could recommend? I think I should have more fats, I am trying to cut down my carbs (don't eat bread or pasta) but even things like sweet potato and carrots have a lot of carbs.. Avocado has healthy fats but carbs too. I don't understand how people manage to keep their carbs so low!…

Your choice. I only use the eggwhites - still some protein but less calories. My goal is 1300 per day though, so have to keep it strict. The yolks have good stuff too, alternatively you can make scramble with one whole egg and two egg whites.

Primarily vanity, yes. I've had an alcohol problem and had to go cold turkey in order to lose weight. Cutting out the booze is definitely a health choice - for my life and well being as well. But going down to 1300 cals is purely to lose the extra weight I gained last year. I've always eaten fairly healthy, I just overate…

And calories. There is less protein in egg whites but still some. I find I'm just as full on three egg whites as I am on three whole eggs, but at much less calories.

Given up indefinitely: Soda (diet or regular). Wasn't hard for me and have no need for it. Yolks. I'm actually fine eating scramble of egg whites, and don't miss the yolks. Fast food. I never ate a lot of it to begin with and would be perfectly fine not eating it again. Given up temporarily: Alcohol. Will drink again, in…

Get most of mine from chicken and turkey. One large chicken breast usually does it. And I love smoked salmon so I have that with scramble made from only egg whites and a little bit of spring onion.

I know AA is not religious and from checking out their pages, it seems pretty good. I know they've helped a lot of people as well. I have gone without alcohol for a few days now and even though I miss it, it works. I still have to work at it though, because I used to have a drink whenever I felt down or was anxious, and…

Thanks for this. I have not been drinking since I wrote the post. I could kill for a glass of wine on most nights, but my solution has pretty much been to go to sleep very early. I'm eating 1300 calories a day and I know it is too soon to notice a difference, but I usually feel lighter right away. Now I just feel fat, and…

Fish oil and inositol. I take iron after donating blood/blood samples and vit D occasionally when I don't get much sun.

Thanks a lot for the responses. I'll try to take this step by step. It's a little hard, I feel like I want to deal with everything and get it over with.

I'm 5"9 and my maintenance is about 1800. I try to eat 1800 a day and do a 600 calorie fast twice a week. But sometimes I go a little lower on the other days as well, ranging between 1500 and 1700.

Really sorry to hear this. I am not an expert and I'm sure there are books you can get about this subject or Doctors/nutritionists you can ask who have advice for this kind of situation. Depending on what kind of junk food she eats, I would probably start there and make healthier versions of food she likes to offer her. A…

No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everybody on the couch. Take your fat for a run, then ditch it when nobody's looking. If you don't take care of your body, where are you going to live? Never give up on something just because it takes time to accomplish it. That time will pass anyway.

I never used the word "miracle", I simply wondered if anyone had any experience with the "healthy glow" a certain amount of beta karoten is meant to give you.

I have watermelon, however it turned into a watermelon-gin-tonic. Oh well.

I have struggled to do the same, not because I don't enjoy protein but because I love carbs too much...The past couple of days I've managed eating much more protein than carbs. - Protein bars are good for when you don't get to prepare a meal and need something quick. I get some Atkins bars for between meals once in a…

I know how you feel because I've binged this weekend as well. I have a way of doing that and since I'm not losing weight I suppose I eat all of it back in the weekends, even though I have a solid deficit the rest of the week. I don't know the answer to it unfortunately. Looking at what you've binged it seems you get a…
