Actually, the hardest week was any one of the weeks that lead you to being overweight and out of shape. Those were the real pain. You can't know this yet but, once you've made so progress, you'll realise than no exercise or healthy food choice is harder than being afraid of a flight of stairs or not finding clothes that…

The 'damage' you're talking about is barely related to the amount of calories you ate. Or the amount of calories you will/would burn if you work(ed) out. Binge eating is not about food. At all. It shows you how you feel. My advice: log it (acknowledging what happened is key) and move on. It's done, your next decision will…

You're welcome. Hope this helps!

Boy! Where do I start??!! If I could go back in time, here's what I would tell former me: - Scale lies. You can have two completely different figures while seeing the same number on that damn machine (Hello, strength training) - Limitations are in your mind not in your body (The "I can't" is not coming from your abs!) -…

Awesome job!! MFP is so helpful, stay here you'll do wonders!!

I love this. So inspirationnal. Thanks for sharing!

I have no words!! You look incredible now (if I may say you were very pretty to start with) and soo happy!! I completely agree with your take on diet. It's not about getting rid of the weight but making lifestyle changes. Thanks for inspiration!!

The a** to ground pistol squat! It's seems impossible to me!

Awesome job!

Holy cr*p!! You look awesome! And 15 years younger! Great great job!

Just move on. The real problem with ONE binge is what it does to your mind. If you don't let yourself go again, you won't even feel the setback.

Congrats!!! That's awesome!

Seriously?! 5lbs? Looks like a lot more. Congrats

I know how to count cards. Hence, I always win.

Holy cow, where do I begin?! I'm in remission but here's what I used to do: I had two bathroom scales, I weighed myself on both of them first thing after bathroom in the morning AND last thing before pj's at night. "Accurate weight for the day" was the average of four numbers. I logged my "new weight" when I've actually…

First do not make yourself throw up. EVER. It's one of the worst thing you could do to your body AND mind. I fully agree with what's been said above. Log it and move on. You don't have to wait for tomorrow to do better. Your next decision TODAY will be a good one. Plenty of water to help your digestion and sensible lunch…

I never ever look at other people's diaries. Unless a specific meal is mentionned on my newsfeed and I want to try it or someone is questioning whether or not they're doing right. I check to see if my opinion on their diaries might be valuable. I don't know how many of my friends here have open diaries. Mine is closed…

Remember that NO FOOD will ever disappear from the surface of the Earth. There always gonna be another opportunity to eat anything you like.

You rock.

I haven't tried anything "summer related" yet. But I'm going skiing tomorrow in my 14 years old ski suit! Perfect fit for the first time in over a decade. I'm gonna enjoy this winter's end first!! Good luck with your shorts! This is the perfect feeling!

You look awesome!

I'm 34. Already lost 40lbs. Gave time to my body to stabilize and feel safe on my new weight. Now working on the second part of the journey. Another 30lbs to go. Feel free to add me (please leave a note on your FR). We can do this!

Great job! Best decision ever!

Awesome progress, attitude and inspiration!

All Jillian Michaels books. And "Unbearable Lightness" by Portia de Rossi. She says A LOT of awesome truth about body image in this. A must read!!

Is a 40lbs loss a big goal for you? (I mean, of course it's a great achievment but does it mean anything special to you?) I have the worst time staying at 67 kilos (about 147lbs). That's the lowest weight I can remember being at as a teenager. I sabotage myself EVERY SINGLE TIME I reach it again. And it's not even UGW!!…

You're my hero. Seriously.

Sounds like self-sabotage to me. I did that a lot too. Binging never is the actual problem, it's a symptom of something else. In my case, boredom triggers mindless overeating but my real problem was self-sabotage; When I was about to reach a goal I would sabotage myself (because I didn't think I was worth it) A lot of…

As you can tell from my profile pic, I'm a big Jillian fan. Her DVDs are killers. All of them. But they also are oh so worth it. The first few times I did 30 Days Shred, I had to let several days go by in between sessions in order to be able to walk again. You did it!! And you will again!! Do not give up, two months from…
