I used to have orthorexia and lost weight eating an extremely strict diet and didn't think of food as pleasure. Once I started allowing more variety into my diet food has now become the center of my life and I binge at night whenever I have a bad day or I'm feeling insecure or stressed. Even when I'm not hungry anymore I…

Thanks for the tips! I do a good job controlling myself during the day and in public but I find that when I come home at night I tend to eat too much when I'm stressed, tired, lonely, or even bored. I try to tell myself I won't do it the next day but I still do. I'm trying to be more mindful and not let food control me.

I'm 5'6 and 2 years ago I began a rigid diet and went from 150 down to 110. But I was under a lot of stress and somehow my strict diet of veggies and lean meat started to turn into binge eating late at night by myself. I'm now back to my original weight. I am not obese but I can feel the extra body fat I have and I hate…

Thanks and yeah I scheduled an appointment with my doctor and a dietician too. And I possibly could have anemia or some sort of iron deficiency since I don't really eat grains, bread, or any source of whole grains besides oatmeal. Also I do eat dark green leafy vegetables and spinach but I usually overcook my food so I…

Thanks! I've been eating lots of kimchi, greek yogurt, and saukeraut to try and add probiotics which seems to help sometimes. Now my digestion is still weird but most days its normal. I still don't know what it is that causes the problem and it still happens once in a while. I'm also drinking peppermint tea to try and help…

Thanks everyone! I'm glad I can eat more than half I'm about to eat one today for dinner yum!

Thanks and I'll probably try and target tone or do some more strength training to get a more lean look and maybe eat smaller meals throughout the day and I tend to eat a really big dinner sometimes is that bad?

Thanks! Thats good to know! And I just baked some purple ones today and they did have a drier texture which I thought might make them more starchy or unhealthy but I guess their just different textures.

I know I sound crazy and unhealthy by saying I still want to lose weight but I really just want to lose about 1-2 lbs and lose some fat around my stomach which is my problem area and I was wondering is avocados and nuts would stop that from happening. But I guess since I don't eat any other sources of fats I don't have to…

I usually do an hour of cardio on the stairmaster or 1 hour alternating between elliptical and running with pilates and light weights. I'm 5'7 and 120 lbs and I'm trying to tone up and lose 1-2 lbs of fat around my stomach what would be a good carb daily allowance?

thanks i think i'll try to stick to half a day!
