Thanks everyone for your caring and kind messages. I am much better now. But I really wanted to share some additional and pertinent information, here is the story: ( I hope it helps you all, it has given me different perspective ) So, I went to the Doctor this morning to get checked out and try to understand why I got so…

Set your HEALTHY calorie intake for the day and stick to that. Exercise and burn extra calories BUT if you are doing extreme workouts and burning huge ants of calories then your body needs food to fuel it so you don't get dizzy and pass out.

Some things to consider as a binger, that may help you stop: (I am also a binger and working to stop) 1 - food is meant to be enjoyed, but when you binge, you do NOT enjoy it 2 - whatever problem is ailing you and making you binge is NOT going to go away after the binge is done 3 - all the exercise or activity you did will…

Overall, your calorie intake is lower therefore it is possible you will have less stools as often as when you ate more foods, even though they may have been refined/processed. When a person eats less overall, even though you are eating healthier, you can become a bit constipated. This would happen to me too when I would…

Honestly, I am no psychotherapist but I am similar in my "need for the junk food fix" and I am aware of how it affects me. For me, it is not just sugar, it is salty foods like chips too. I have struggled with this too and what I have figured out is that when I binge like that, it is because I am trying to get some sort of…

You can do it. But my best advice is "slow and steady wins the race". Be diligent at eating right and exercising. There are no tricks, shortcuts, or magic formulas. Simply eat healthy, nutritious meals, exercise within reason (consult your doctor first) and then understand that patience goes a long way. You may not see big…

You are totally awesome! The method you are using is the RIGHT method, no shortcuts, no diet pills, no tricks, I love that. There are no shortcuts to weight loss, but rather the traditional method or eating right and exercising you are doing is the perfection. You are a great example to others, especially anyone desperate…

I think you can do it. But it might take a few weeks for your body to register that you have started working out and the body's first response is to "survive", meaning that when it senses you are expending more energy (from your workouts) than what you are intaking (how much foo you are eating), it will hang onto the body…

I hear your pain. BUT you should not care what anyone else thinks. If you want to be fitter (even if you are already so petite), that is totally your choice. Yes, you may be tiny, etc, but you know that you feel slightly overweight and YES, as you get older it gets harder to lose and easier to gain. I am not sure why but…

Simply put - JUNK FOOD! I do not smoke, drink, take any recreational drugs, but I am junk-food addict!

Counting your calories is a great way to watch your intake, it will help you be successful. I used to do it when I was skinnier and happier with my weight, so I encourage you to continue to do it. (Only stop if it becomes an obsession, and that is unlikely to happen anyway). My advice for eating out: - at Subway, always…
