maybe not relevant but my mum's low levels of iron turned out to be she had coeliac disease...?

And just to add there has been many great suggestions from people on here that I really appreciate. It has left me feeling less alone with the problem I'm trying to understand. I am going to basically focus on exercise and try and forget the numbers.... thanks to all of you who have chimed in. x

I'm just calling in again on this post really as like a journal entry to look back upon in the future and also in case anyone looks back at the posts in the future who has found themselves feeling similar to me. I've decided to stop logging food for a while (exercise I'm still logging but im using a different app) ... its…

That's really interesting. Before mfp I just ate when I was hungry. I never called it a binge. I think it's seeing the numbers that make me think it is a binge. I guess me weighing more would take me from my 'vanity' goal but I guess someone would jump I here and say 'do weights!' And it's not about the numbers after all.…

Cushman- Thank you so much for this post. It's very soothing and reassuring - I hope that over the course of time it will settle down. I can't limit my calories, not that I want to really but not do I want to put on weight either but I have to eat because I have a physical job and I'm self employed and have to eat to earn!…

For those who think I'm 'starving' ;) i think I'm pretty normal for my height . I've added a profile pic

And I hit 50carb 20 protein and 30 fat 99.% of the time, binges included! I eat 5-10 portions of fruit and veg everyday and have been taking multi vits for years- so it's not through an unhealthy diet or purging.

Just to clarify- I'm not saying mfp is the problem! I know it's me, I was wondering if this tool effected other peoples behaviours and thoughts, feelings over food/body/image. Tbh. It's not a black or white subject really. It's not the same for everyone of course I'm seeking out people who shared a similar experience not…

Well thank you everyone for your opinions :) just some info I am eating 1500 -1700 cals a day and eating back all exercise calories which average about 200-300 a day. 5 days out of 7. I'm not starving myself. My binges are about 1000cals in one sitting, every few days. Secondly I am responsible for what I buy, and eat and…

Oh gosh it's not the people who are a curse! :) not at all, I've found many people with similar stories to me ( vanity pounds, binge eating) but just haven't found discussions on people wondering whether they should continue to use mfp. I am petite by the way but make no mistake I go through the same thought processes and…
