It was definitely my fault, and my overextended brain. That said, there were things that contributed to it, like my mother constantly dieting on and off, and binging when she got upset, so when I lost her at age seven, I thought that was how it was supposed to work. My family puts a huge emphasis on food and food being a…

It's not always necessarily a mental thing. It took my doctors months to figure out why I was vomiting, including a barium scan, endoscopy, an ultrasound, multiple blood tests and putting me on a gluten-free diet. Eventually they figured it out, when I was hydrated via IV and able to keep food down fine. Since then (3…

For the "water only" people, (and I never log anything but water as water) what if a person just can't drink that much water by itself, without something like added electrolytes, or something like Mio, or tea? If I drink more then 24 ozs of water across a day where I haven't been working out like crazy, I get nauseous and…

I weigh every day, but I obsess if I don't, and start freaking out. I used to weigh more than once but have scaled myself back.

Thanks. :)

No, I'm not currently being seen by anyone. I don't have health insurance at the moment, and when I did, my psychologist felt that I was stable enough to not need to see him any longer. However, in getting "okay" I my weight ballooned, and I'm now trying to get healthy as well, because a BMI of 39 is just not good.

HRM's are for workouts that the Fitbit won't get an accurate read on, like weightlifting or spinning. Fitbit reads more of the calories burned every day as you move, and how much you move/how many steps you take overall. HRM's are more for specific time periods when you're actively trying to burn calories instead of just…

Thanks everybody! I am feeling much better about this little gift now. Haha.

It probably shouldn't make me feel better that other people get bullied as adults in night school, should it? So the general consensus is I'm going to need to figure out a way to tune them out, collect what I can even if I don't turn them in , and bust my butt getting as fit as I can.

Last time I checked I was 26, haha. It's a technical school, not a university, career training basically. All our classes are things like how to take X-rays, how to assist a dentist when doing fillings and root canals and things like that. So you go through Assisting 101, Infection Control, Radiology, etc with the same…

I'm definitely sticking with it. No way I am letting a bike beat me. I'm just too damn stubborn. wow. I hope I can do that with weight loss. I always get so depressed about it. :( I think the support really helps. I'm amazed how many people on this site really care. I was just posting it to rant, if that makes sense? Aw!…

Thanks everybody. Seriously <3. I guess I just reached the end of my emotional rope today. I get so tired of the "OH MY GOD I'M A SIZE TWO I"M SO FAT...." "Well, at least you don't look like B." or the "You don't need to make a mouthguard for the gym! Make a mouthguard for someone else for your grade, because your more…

I actually want to start lifting and getting stronger. I just bought New Rules yesterday, but I'll definitely look into the others, because I definitely think they might have to shut up, if I could do that, right? Maybe? I just get so freaking angry, so I guess the trick is to store the anger and use it at the gym, instead…

Yeah. I just...can't let Spinning beat me, if that makes sense? I feel like I have to somehow "defeat" it. So I'll bust my butt until I do. And thank you, I'll tell my kitty. :) She's my baby, her name is River Song. It's an adult technical school, and the girls in question are 20 (almost 21), 25, and 29. I'm 26. Their…

I'll do that, maybe it will help, because I seriously am at the point where I am dreading school and I really just want to skip so I don't have to deal with them, and it's affecting my grade. My 4.0 has gone down to a 3.8 since the bullying got bad, and I hate it, but I just feel stuck.

The teacher spoke to them last term about the bullying and they let up for about a week, and then came up with the chubby chasers prank. I really don't want to know what will happen if I report them again. I really just don't understand how and why twentysomethings are being so freaking hateful, or how to deal with it. I…

Why do you feel you need the sweeteners? Personally, I have a cup of Earl grey Tea every day, either right away in the morning or before school. I used to "need" milk and a teaspoon of sugar, but once I started going without, I found I didn't 'need' it. I enjoyed it just as much without the milk and sugar. Maybe try…

I'm a scotch girl myself, I rather pair the Verse and pizza with a good Islay...if I make it to the Browncoat Ball next year, I should really figure out a way to drag some along.

I'm 217 and I'm trying to lose 102 pounds, because of my height, I was told my ideal weight was between 109 and 120, so I aimed for 115.

I would, but I've heard way too many people make comments about heavy cosplayers at Tekko. When I'm closer to my goal, definitely! besides, school is keeping me from going this year anyway. :( (PS: Can I friend you?)

I want to do that, but I'm nervous about being judged. Still, every year I think about who I'd want to go as. This year I was talking myself out of Kyoko from Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

You are awesome! That sounds like a great aspiration.

These are both really good ideas. Maybe it'd help, though I don't know if I could get gran on a computer. Still, pen and paper work too!

Born and raised Trekker, recent Whovian currently working on watching all extant Classic episodes, I attended the Browncoat Ball for fans of Firefly a few years ago, I have a tendency to randomly quote Shakespeare, Beowulf and Chaucer (I once got a very strange look when I quoted Titus Andronicus at the dinner table.…

I feel your pain with chronic illnesses! I don't have any of those in particular, but I do have hypotonia, or congenital chronic muscle weakness, which actually runs me the opposite way, and puts me almost completely into cardio-land. Me lifting is a bit of a pipe dream, I want to get strong enough to do it, but...hahaha,…

I don't have a car, so I can't hide food in my car to eat at eight. I really don't have time to eat before school either, because I work until 5:30 and then have to bust my hump to get to school on time. (Yay bus.) I can try the refrigerator thing, but I don't know how well or if that will work, I can see if people wake…

Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. It's basically where doctors shove you if you're not anorexic, bulimic, or a compulsive overeater, but still have a very strange relationship with food, or eating disorder habits. In my case, squirreling away snacks, forgetting to eat, eating things in a certain order, making sure…
