I fell in love with someone else.

I would suggest seeking out therapeutic help - this has been a big help for me. I was starting to lose hope, but now I am finally getting over it! Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is particularly good for compulsive overeating/binge eating.

Meal prep for the week. Lentils, mushroom-spinach saute, walnut 'parmesan', and lentil-based sloppy joe filling. I made barley as well but it was still soaking when this photo was taken.

Oatmeal with lemon curd and blueberries. Eggs florentine with half the hollandaise sauce, boiled mushrooms, tomatoes and a creamy sunflower seed dressing. Oatmeal with blackberries.

Giant edamame salad with oil-free tahini dressing.

I'm keen! I'll be just about at my goal weight by April if I lose 5 pounds a month, and I was planning on making Mondays my weigh-in day anyway. I'm in.

Hey~ I'm 4'11 and currently 51kg (112 lbs), my goal is to get to get back down to around 95 lbs (43kg) as I like being quite lean. I'll be exercising throughout so I'm not too focused on the number, more on my body. To lose a pound a week I need to eat under 910 calories ;C

Today and yesterday have been a challenge for me. Yesterday I was invited to a Hanukkah barbecue, and I know from experience that this sort of 'potluck' dinner, where there's lots of food, is often a trigger for me. When I'm eating out and I haven't pre-determined how much I should eat, I would often just decide to see how…

Today I encountered an interesting mix of emotional and intuitive eating. Lunch went well - today was Chili Thursday, which means at 12:30pm anyone who pre-requested chili heads down to the lunchroom for a feed. My plan was that if I was not yet hungry at 12:30pm, I would make myself a plate and save it for later.…

How did you guys do today? Day one went very well for me! Sometimes it can be confusing deciding when to eat when we're not used to actually listening to our hunger cues. Today I decided to do something new in order to try and make it a little easier to judge. I came across a 'Pritikin Hunger Scale' online, which goes…

Thank you for joining me! In this last year this has been a massive struggle for me too, and it's meant I've gained back all the weight I lost :( Distracted eating, eating when tired and when thirsty are all definitely issues for me too. My plan of action is: - No watching shows until nighttime: I have to be productive…

MFP says my maintenance is about 1350 at 4'9" and 105 lbs. ;( To lose weight I cut calories by 20%, so I eat 1080 per day. I don't have that much of an appetite but it's still sad.

Everything they said is true. That said, whether your tummy is flat or not could easily be affected by how you eat. Certain foods cause bloating in certain people. That has nothing to do with your body composition, and you will have to discover for yourself what keeps your tummy happy once your body fat is low enough to…

This is so nice and easy and yummy: williams-sonoma.com/recipe/squash-with-chile-yogurt-cilantro-sauce.html

Make sure you're eating plenty of protein and fats for each meal. Other than that, you might have to get used to being hungry sometimes. It's good for you, it means you'll enjoy your meal more. Your digestive system benefits from the rest time between meals. After a while you do start to get used to only eating once your…

If it continues, do see a doctor. I personally have IBS, and very little helps. My issue is a combination of food intolerances and spastic muscles. There are exercises and massages you can do to help relax your muscles in the area if you think that could be an issue. If you think it could be an IBS-related food…

There are some nice cheap latte sachets that they sell at the grocery store. They generally have 50-75 calories per sachet, a lot less than a Starbucks and more convenient.

Lost a centimeter off my thighs :) Two more to go to hit my goal BF%!

Burgers with home-kill beef sausage meat. On spelt sourdough with homemade blueberry ketchup and sauerkraut.

Pasta with tomato sauce, peppers and home-kill beef sausage; roasted sweetcorn on the side. 500 calories with 1/2 an ear of corn.

- Greek yogurt and tahini dressing for salads - Mix in a few teaspoons of peanut butter and a teaspoon of honey to a 1/2 cup of yoghurt, use it as a dip for apples, carrots or pita chips - This high protein 'cookie dough' dip (I haven't tried it yet but it looks fabulous):…

A nice frittata, or a savoury bread pudding is nice and filling even if you don't add meat to it. Lentil salads or stews. Macaroni and cheese with some added veggies to make it healthy. Lentil meatloaf. Spaghetti with beans instead of ground meat. An omelette. Veggie burgers.

Breakfast Banana Cake from Big Man's World. I baked it for 40 minutes and it still came out a bit underdone. I'll keep it in for 50-60 next time. Still good though.

Use cheap and seasonal vegetables. Where I am, carrots are ridiculously cheap all year round and are quite versatile. Rice, egg and vegetable stir-fries are quick and easy. Soups can be quite quick, cheap, easy and filling. Baked chicken thighs and vegetables is a nice easy one-pan meal, although I'm not sure how cheap…

Double batch of four ingredient protein brownies from Big Man's World. Clock in at 178 cals each with 9g of protein with my protein powder.

On days that I exercise, I try to close the gap a little, but my stomach is very sensitive to volume changes so I have to be careful. See, I plan to eat at my deficit level. If I've already had breakfast and lunch before I exercise, at dinner time I'm left with quite a few extra calories! While I *could* eat them all back,…
