Because, as I said, I am a world class idiot. And I needed some encouragement, it has been so hard ... It's like gambling now that I think of it. If the numbers had been down, I would have thought: well the pain is not for nothing. Keep going and hang in there. To answer your question: If I eat more that 1200, I maintain…

Total Baloney. And dangerous one at that. We can all make efforts, sure; but the results will vary depending on what we got to start with.

LOL Yes. Brain fart.

And this.

More seriously now: an addiction is a mental health condition and as such, should be diagnosed by a health specialist. And I think it's a bad idea to try to diagnose yourself, and even more so with the help of the Internet. The Internet, where being sad = being depressed, being tidy = suffering from STD, having the habit…

I am not an expert or anything but I am pretty sure that all human beings - and animals - are addicted to food.

Well, you're a lucky men, and never had the bad surprised of being turned down by what you saw when the clothes dropped on the floor. Because, yes, it does happen.

Well maybe the truth is half way: he MAY care about certain parts of your body being less attractive, but he does NOT CARE in the bigger picture, he still thinks you're beautiful and attractive. Or maybe he finds you a little less attractive, but again, in the bigger picture, he loves you, and you're still his lady.…

I stay away from the scale. At all costs.

Well I understand it would be great if you liked what you saw in the mirror, but that body of yours allows you to have love, and companionship, and a sexual life, and eventually have a family if you wish. I know physical attraction is not all, but it's essential. Men can't fake it, even if they wanted. So don't take it for…

I totally agree with this. It is an important point. You should never make your diet depend on exercise. Why? First, because unless you are an athlete, it's not the most important thing in the loss weight equation. But more importantly, it's rare that we have a valid and honest excuse for what we put in our mouth, but it…

Well your BF does, so what is the problem?

I hear you. I wish there was a diet for that. But no. No cure at all. This is why I try to remain reasonably thin, because at least I don't look bad in clothes, as if it's any consolation.

Oh but you know, we don't get to chose where the weight will shed first ... I know my stomach is flat only when I am under 120 lbs (for 5"4"). So you'll see take pictures, if seeing progress keeps you motivated, that will help a lot !

I guess it depends on your body shape, and how and where the fat is stored. For example, if you lose your weight "equally" around the body, dropping a clothing size is not remarkable. (Good news: it means that gaining a size if not THAT bad !!) But at some point a more noticeable change will happen. For example, your face…

Well don't presume that because a women is thin she is attractive. In my case, I am not overweight but have a disgusting skin, by breast are unattractive and ... well I'll leave the rest for your imagination. Don't envy others, you never know.

I avoid relationships due to the way my body looks. The only hope would be to find someone who would become madly in love with me and would accept not being attracted physically. Good luck with that.

I did not know "MILF" would include 26 years-old women. Who would L to F you as a "mother"? 16 years-old ?

How can you tell? You examined OP or something? I second those who advise her to get a second opinion, especially if she is hungry very day, all day. It's not sustainable anyway. A person's size makes a big difference. One or two inches even. I cannot lose if I eat more than 1200, and in fact, I often stall at 1200. 1100…

Well, this is what you got ! Even more ! You know, the "per week" thing has nothing to do with the human body. We are used to organize our lives per day, per week, per month, etc. This is why "one week" is a convenient unit used for measurements and tracking one's weight loss. But you absolutely have to calculate the…

Well that's an average of 0.7lbs per week. This is what you should expect, it's actually good, don't you think? What would be a good result for you?

And what does that have to do with the ADHD? (Sorry for the slap, but you asked for it) And so what if you can't or won't do exterior activities during one season (winter)?

There.

Judging by the average picture of "fit women" posted on Instagram and the like, ladies with large implants have NO PROBLEM at all working out.

You body does not give a fig about whether you go over on "unhealthy" foods, or "healthy" ones. It does not make any difference if you put too much butter or Nutella on your toast, or eat more of that pineapple or no-sugar-added oatmeal.

I think about it all the time. Whether I am with others, or alone. But no only my weight - everything about my look.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look those up.

Thank you. The more I think about it, it seems likely that the squats caused the problem. This is the only "move" that I am not used to. No more squats until knees are good. And I like your idea of doing cardio and strength separately, so I could focus more on the moves.

You are right ... but I cannot afford one in private clinic, and in the public system, it's covered if you are injured and require treatments. I will not take any chances though ! I will stick with running / cycling / stairs climbing for exercising my legs, unless I get a good recommendation.
