Yeah, last week has been erratic. But on average I do log completely. I'll look into eating more veggies, I have a frozen bag I could use.
-
I'm 149 pounds. I'm aiming to be 115-120.
-
Diary's open. I'm on vacation now, but I usually eat bread, eggs, cereal, some veggies, etc. Also, I'm planning to eat 1200 without eating back any exercise calories.
-
I'm only trying to lose 1 pound per week, that put me at just under 1300 calories.
-
I have a fitbit so it calculates calories that way.
-
I understand their concern though. And in the long run, since I eat at a college dining hall during the school year, weighing won't be practical. I can't exactly take the scale around the buffet without looking like a crazy person.
-
I'll check that video out later. By "intervention" they sat down with me and expressed their worries. One of my roommates has an ED history so she was especially distraught.
-
Um...okay.
-
One of my roommates has an ED history which began with food weighing, so she gets a bit paranoid about that sort of thing. And after the summer I'll be back to eating college dining hall food, so weighing isn't the most practical option at this time. My goal is currently 1300 but when I get really hungry I eat back my…

Berries are a good idea, I can probably buy a frozen bag so they'll keep. I don't really like soup, but I'll try eating more beans and broccoli.
-
I'll see if I can do it in secret or something. I'm definitely not undereating, there's plenty of foods I can cut. I'm just trying to see if there are filling/cheap foods I can substitute with.
-
Okay, thanks! I'll see if I can find any substitutes for that amount of chicken. I eat chicken maybe once or twice a week.
-
Thanks. Though, as a man, don't you find you get hungry? I thought 1200 was the minimum for women?
-
I really don't want my roommates to try and stage an intervention again. Would being more strict about not eating back exercise calories not work?
-
I've been working on that, but I guess I could always use more. Thanks!
-
I can't really weigh any of my foods because when I tried, my roommates tried to have an intervention with me. They thought I was going into disordered eating. So I'm using my exercise calories as a buffer. Sometimes I eat those (I'm at 1300 calories on an average day, and I get pretty hungry), but I try to hold off if I…
-
I don't really have any neighbors and there aren't churches nearby. Sometimes I bring food to my coworkers but they're all dieting so they get kinda mad at me for it. I'll see if I can find healthy things to bake. They usually taste pretty crummy though.
-
Thanks, I'll see if I can pick up some of those foods.
-
My only exercise is walking, and that's just to get from place to place, about 4 miles a day.
-
I did log everything for over a month, no loss. And I burn off quite a few exercise calories (on vacation now, but on the average day I walk about 4 miles), so I feel like eating those back wouldn't help much.
-
I'm 20/63 inches/149 pounds/120 pounds at most. It's been pretty off and on, but I've been trying to commit seriously for the past few months and since I don't weigh my food I use exercise calories as a buffer.
-
My current boyfriend is very supportive and seems to like my body, but lots of guys (friends or otherwise) have. I was bullied a lot in high school for being fat. It sucks.
-
Ice cream, anything I bake...basically anything sweet. Which is a bummer because baking is my number one hobby and I don't have anyone to give the food to.
-
I checked and I don't think your diary is open. :)
-
I've never been flirted with, ever. But I probably wouldn't like it, I get pretty uncomfortable in those kinds of situations.
-
I think I'm like 20/400 or something, it's been a while. I adore my glasses, though, so I rarely wear contacts anymore.
-
Yeah, I'm 20 and I've been chubby for years now. I'd like to have that college girl body before I'm done with college, ideally.

I work in a workshop-type environment, with crafting supplies and very old machinery. If I'm alone at work I like to dance around for extra steps, and yesterday someone caught me dancing with the industrial stapler.
-
I eat my fitbit/exercise calories back (ideally half, sometimes all). Otherwise I'd be starving with my 1280 calorie goal.
