Thank you for saying this, as I have similar experiences and it really hurts my feelings. Surprise surprise, thin people have feelings too. One family member pushed me to tears with the things he said about me, and I'm constantly being bullied by my family even though I'm a normal weight. I also hate it when people speak…

I decline usually if there's no note. I'm also more likely to decline if the one who sent it was male.

omg, I'll tell you right now: I can't, simply CAN'T control myself around foods with a 'pasty' consistency. Tahini, peanut butter, nut butters, hummus, and the like. I ban them from the house (except for hummus because my husband eats it). I can literally eat a whole freaking jar of tahini in one sitting. I can't stop.…

No worries; just go for a walk :) It's a nice way to spend the evening (well, it's evening for me) and you'll burn some calories.

I love coconut water! The best-tasting one I had was from Harmless Harvest, but it's very pricey :( Try and find the pink ones~♪

While I can't confirm or deny what you said, I will tell you that the only time I hit above 200 on my Polar was when my heart rate suddenly jumped and I physically felt it. After that moment it went back to 160-something. It takes a lot of effort on my part to get above 160, and I've never gotten above 180. Maybe it's…

Polar Polar Polar! I use the pink Polar one and I *love* it! It was like $80-$90, but still worth it.

Sugar is addicting, and since you have a problem with it avoid all ADDED and PROCESSED sugar, not vegetables. I'd avoid fruit for now, but definitely not vegetables; they have too many benefits to avoid just because of negligible natural sugar. You *might* want to cut out grains for a while and see how you feel. It might…

You're very pretty♥︎

There is soooo much misinformation concerning nutrition that it's almost impossible not to get confused. To make matters worse, there are conflicting scientific studies and what works for one person (paleo, vegan, gluten-free, etc.), does not work out for everyone else. I am amazed at how adapting the human body is, and…

Yeah, why not! Sunday is my treat day, and it's love/hate; so long as you don't go overboard what's the harm? :)

Likes to do yoga!

I'll send you a request then! I eat mostly raw vegetables????

^^ omg, I love their work, especially [Coll:set] Bird - Yuya Matsu****a edit: lmao his name is censored

It's actually supposed to be farewell, friend but MFP wouldn't let me register it like that. It's nothing special, just something I used when I was on bulbagarden forums so it's kinda nostalgic. And no, I'm not suicidal or secretly endorsing it.

I'm the oldest of six children I'm Palestinian/Polish :D I used to be an avid horseback rider (would love to get back into it) I love languages and I'm studying Japanese with intentions of studying German and probably Spanish I've been married for over two years

That's after exercise so total kcal is more like 800-900 on an average day. And yeah, I get hungry. I'm hungry now???? But my desire to lose weight is greater than my hunger and I don't want to strength train even though I know that'd allow me to eat a lot more. Maybe one day...

I wouldn't; sorry ^^;

Finishing The China Study so I can start on Whole :) I just love to read nutrition, science, and non-fiction books. Well, I also like fiction. Particularly Japanese literary fiction in the short story form.

Hmmm, like 185-232

28- 32

How old do I look? That's a picture from last year. Most people think I'm very young. When I'm with my sister, they think she's older-- even though I'm two years older than her. I don't mind, though. Anyway, I'm 22 and I'll be turning 23 in October /already feels old D:

I haven't had a period since last December. Pregnancy tests are negative. I want to go to the obi, but I have to wait until my insurance kicks in :/ I don't understand why it suddenly disappeared; I weighed 123 lbs when it disappeared! (And I'm between 5'3" and 5'4".) I really want at least one child so I don't want to go…

^^Well, that's your opinion, obviously. If I won't use it, I won't recommend it :) The more processed something is, generally, the worse it is for your health. And artificial sweeteners have been found to negatively affect weight loss. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/10/07/sugar-substitutes.aspx…

It seems you have two threads as I replied to the same one on a different board... I believe 'Stevia in the Raw' is one of those 'fake' stevia products, like Truvia. If that's the case, then yes you should cut back. An organic stevia like the one from Sweetleaf is a much better option :) I've been using it for a long time,…

I recommend an organic and herbal one. The ones with aluminum are not good for your health because your body absorbs it.

Generally not much, seeing as we don't currently own a scale. Maybe twice a month, something like that. This sunday is weigh-day for me /nervous I WANT THIS SCALE. Do you recommend it? Is it really worth the price?

Let's see...I've been told I'm skeletal, scary-looking, and I've been compared to emaciated people in Somalia, among other things. All that, and I'm not even skinny. I'm at a normal weight for my height (something I keep trying to explain). It makes me wonder and fear, if I ever do become skinny what will they think or say…

I'm sorry people are being rude to you. I totally understand where you're coming from, seeing as I also have an eating disorder. A binge for me can be as little as a few hundred calories, even if that's not the medical defintion. These people poking fun have no idea of the immense anxiety, self-loathing, and despair…
