They have helped teach me CBT techniques to combat cognitive errors (it's just this once, it will make me feel better, I am helpless over this, etc), DBT techniques for emotion/mood regulation, and helped me tackle self-esteem problems and my own history which was really the root of why I was doing the behaviour.

Therapy. I was inpatient at one eating disorder clinic for 2 weeks, then switched to an outpatient clinic and have been there for the past 3 months. Binge free for over 90 days!

If you often have grilled or roasted vegetables, start cooking them in olive oil. If you normally use low-calorie salad dressings, replace them with full-fat dressings and add nuts, meats, cheeses, avocado, etc. Peanut and other nut butters are great for adding calories without much volume. Choose dark meat poultry and…

My stomach is flat and I eat a lot of junk food.

Around 2300.

Honestly, I would suggest maintaining while you are recovering from surgery. You need good nutrition for the healing process. If you feel that you must cut calories, stick to the 1200 minimum. You won't lose much, but don't focus on the weight loss right now. You're already at a healthy weight and can always drop the 5…

Go low carb for two weeks and you'll drop a lot of water weight. It will come back as soon as you start eating carbs again, but it'll help in the short term. Good luck.

I mostly make sure that I hit my protein, and don't worry so much about fat or carbs. If I notice I'm grossly under my fat for the day, I'll make an effort to fix that by bed time, but I'm not super strict about it.

Your diary screams inaccuracy. You have something called a burrito scramble with egg every morning. Exactly the same portion, exactly the same amount of calories. Do you weigh out exactly how much of each ingredient goes into this every morning, or do you just throw it together and assume it's close to your usual portion?…

How many calories are you eating? Have you just joined and have not started logging? If so, start logging and see what happens.

Okay, so what results were you expecting if losing 3 pounds doesn't qualify?

Your BMI is near "perfect" at 22.3, you have a very healthy body fat percentage. You're not going to see huge losses at your current weight. 1.5 lb a week is rapid loss for someone of your size, and with less than 25 lb to lose, you should really be aiming for and expecting about half a pound a week.

My weight loss happened after I had a breakdown, and losing weight was one of the things that I wanted to do to make myself feel good. Which worked, but then I had another breakdown a year later. The weight is off, but my new medication makes me a hungry hungry hippo at night, and if I wasn't paying close attention to it,…

I personally did a cheat day whenever there was an occasion to do it, like a birthday, holiday, anniversary, what have you. Didn't schedule them on a regular basis. On my cheat days I would try to consume no more than 500 calories over maintenance, and then cut 100 calories from the next 5 days to basically make that day…

A lot of people say that body recomposition is too slow to be worth it, but it's been worth it for me. Over the past 3 months I have gained 3 pounds of muscle and lost 4 pounds of fat based on my weight and hydrostatic weighing results at the gym. What I typically do is over-eat very slightly for a couple weeks (2300-2500…

I bumped 250 calories up when I lost weight. Started at 1750/day, saw a slight weight increase that went back down after a week and then started losing again. When I showed two losses in a row (weighing 1-2x a week), I bumped. I'm now consuming about 2250 a day (up to 2500 on days I go hiking) and maintaining.

My maintenance without exercise is about 1750. 5'5" female, 122.4 lb.

Yes! I have snacks scheduled into my day: 8:30 AM: 300 calories 12:30 PM: 350 calories 2:30 PM: 150 calories 4:30 PM: 200 calories 6:30 PM: 500 calories 8:30 PM: 300 calories Any extra calories I earn through exercise make my dinner and/or evening snack bigger.

5'5" 122-125 lb - maintenance is about 2300 for me. I'm quite active.

My original goal was 120, but I decided to stop at 125 because I fit into the smallest size at my favourite clothing store. And I figured if I lost any more, it would probably just come from my chest and bum because those were the only places I had fat left, really.

Stick to my meal guidelines! I keep way undereating at breakfast and lunch and then wind up shovelling a bucket of cereal in my face to make up for it at night, which needs to stop.

I was like that when I first started. Now it takes forever to get me into my target zone! Just keep working at it, keep improving. Walk a little further tomorrow, or a little faster. Jog for 30 seconds, walk for 2 minutes, jog for 30 seconds, walk for two minutes. Check out C25K. Just make a conscious effort to be…

Only put on your plate what you have already logged. Finish the plate.

Totally agree. I've been on the orthorexia wagon (technically diagnosed as ED-NOS because ortho doesn't exist in the DSM), and it's a miserable existence. I HAD to make sure that I got my nutrition exactly right every day, that I got all my vitamins and minerals, that I weighed every gram of everything I ate (5 extra grams…
