I always save a good chunk of calories for the evening when I'm watching my show on Netflix ;) I used to alwaysssss binge the most while mindlessly watching tv so this way I can still have my 'binge' without doing any real damage. If you like breakfast foods, I would totally suggest an eggwhite omelet. 9tbsp of egg whites…

that is amazing!!! congrats! i have been cig free for 24 days! i use a vaporizer now and it has helped me tremendously so if you do feel the cravings coming back i would highly recommend purchasing one :)

well ER doctors are a little different than a licensed psychologist. you have to want the help though for it to really work, I've been through therapy for a good chunk of these past 10 years and honestly it CAN make a difference if you let someone help

try ALL options before turning to the internet though, honestly. you've never seen a doctor so how do you know if they won't help?

thanks for the input guys- I definitely agree, I've had some issues with stress (hasn't everyone? hehe) and have noticed a trend with overeating for sure. I was just having a conversation with a friend and she was telling me that you can gain weight strictly from having psychological issues, specifically with a severe…

yeah see that's what I figured. just wanted to see if I was missing anything or if CICO really is the bottom line

hi! I work at a call center myself and I am chained to my desk as well haha. as far as keeping my body moving, that doesn't usually happen too much. the most movement i'll get is usually just taking the 3 flights of stairs to and from my breaks. but when I'm trying to snack, I usually ration the food I bring by leaving…

30ish away :/ feels like forever! I WILL get there!

I agree with leaving a certain amount of calories for my night time snacks. I usually don't get home from work til around 10:30-11 and I almost always want to eat at least a lil something before I go to bed. usually i'll make a giant plate of egg whites with some cheese and salsa, and then a piece of toast with a little…

that is incredible!!! keep up the good work, we are all rooting for you!

welcome!! and congrats for having the courage to tackle your goals! I am here to motivate, feel free to add :)

you got this!! keep up the great work! its hard some days but SO worth it :)

thanks for the input everyone!! and congrats again! you all are doing amazing!

I usually just eat egg whites on a piece of toast with green peppers, salsa and cheese! its filling and awesome (depending on what brands, give or take a few) 9 tbsp. of egg whites- 75 cals whole wheat bread- 60 cals mozzarella low moisture part skim cheese- 50 cals green peppers- 10 cals 1 tbsp. of salsa-10 cals so…

everyone loves to argue, simple as that

Welcome!! anyone feel free to add me, I love making new friends :)

I have problems with depression that began when I was 12. The only thing that has helped my depression has been eating well and exercise. I still have my bad days, but losing weight has helped me tremendously. especially the exercise aspect of it. If you take good care of yourself, you WILL feel better. Losing weight has…

you probably should see a doctor though

that's a really cool way to calculate- 10x your healthy weight! congrats on all your successes so far everyone! and yes I agree. I thought I was eating 1200 at one point but I definitely wasn't accurately measuring lol

that is awesome!! congrats on your successes so far! now i definitely wont feel as bad if i go over my calories a little :)

you will get there!!! my starting weight was 271

hmm okay cool I am at 1420 right now and I always felt like it was too much but I am still losing consistently so that's all that matters really haha. thanks for your input everyone!

hi! congrats on taking a huge and scary step towards recovery. I've had issues with binging and restriction in the past. I would definitely suggest bringing your own snacks to eat on the way up. pretzels, wheat thins, fiber one snacks, maybe a little lunch box or cooler full of fruits. and as far as the hotel goes, eggs…

this is perfect

wait.. so if being 'healthy' is different for every person, aren't we all right?

I usually have one day a week that I don't log everything. I don't go overboard by any means, but I think its been crucial to my success so far. for me, the whole 'eating whatever I want every day, just smaller portions' will not work for me, because If I ate whatever I wanted on some days it would just be one greasy meal…

just walk by leslie sansone! I love her dvds, they are very easy to follow and she shouts encouraging things at you which makes it all the better lol

anyone can add me as well! SW-271 CW-231 GW-170ish (we'll see how I look/feel lol) my diary/ears/mind are always open!!

you can do this! I also have issues with binging. as simple as it sounds, something I usually tell myself when I want to binge is 'I can have these foods tomorrow.' when I want to binge its usually because I am always meticulously watching what I eat and I feel like I just want to 'let go' and enjoy myself. but when I…

ah awesome! I just found that, thanks everyone!
