It's fat loss/toning up. I'm not at an aggressive deficit; eating around 1,600 to 1,800, aiming for half a pound a week or so.

Sunflower seed butter :(

Spot on. OP - I used to really want a thigh gap as well. After I reached 112 lbs, I sort of one, but not entirely, and definitely not as drastic as those pro-ana blogs show. But now I'm happier (sorta) with my body and it's not a main focus on mine anymore. As other users have mentioned, spot reducing doesn't work.

Fruit is the foundation of my diet and probably my existence as well. Enjoy it while it's still in season!

Nearly every day this summer I've been trying to go for one walk per day. I've been losing weight but I also work out at a gym as well so I don't know if that's what lead to the weight loss. However, walking, to me, is a very peaceful and inward experience and is just as relaxing for me as yoga. I'm recovering from an…

I wish I had your waist! I'm 5'5.5", 112 lbs and I have a 26.5 inch waist. It's just the way I'm built, though. I'll never have an hourglass shape, and that'll always bother me, but I try not to dwell on it as much as I have in the past. Try looking at all the little accomplishments you've made so far. Instead of beating…

Exactly, I know it might seem obsessive at times but I just like to normally stick to my every day routine haha

I work at a haunted house every year! I have no idea how many calories it burns though. However many, it's physically and emotionally tolling. The place I work at locks us in our scare areas for five hours, one break inbetween. It's so fun but I'm physically unable to do basically anything the day after. I'm considering…

My ex was trying to sleep with my hot, skinny best friend ... while I was in the hospital for an eating disorder. Sure, it sucked, but if I saw him again, I don't necessarily want to be thinner than I was then. I just want to seem healthier, stronger, and most importantly happier. I just want to seem successful and happy…

Believe me, she'll notice. I'm hoping to get a similar reaction if I ever end up running into my ex again. It's a twisted pleasure :)

I weigh in three days from now. I just don't want to see any weight gain when I do. Even though I didn't eat a large quantity yesterday, it still was over 3,000 calories and that's enough to put on weight.

I was triggered a bit.. But in the past, I wouldn't have just tried to exercise it off. It would have been drastic and extreme measures. Now I'm trying to keep calm, but I don't want to gain anything from the binge, that's all. I don't want to slip back into old habits. I just have to undo this one incident, since they…

This is a great idea :)

Thank you guys for your input. I'll eat today but now I'm considering cutting my calories down to around 1,400 just for the week? I mean that could help the damage out slightly in a less drastic way?

Haha it was vegan cookie dough, same caloric content but safe to eat raw. (And tastier to eat raw, too)

Because you get more bang for your bite. A small tidbit of cookie dough merits an entire cookie after baking. When you eat spoonfuls, who knows how many cookies you could be eating?

I don't know if they consider this bulimia or if this is a whole other mess, but I dealt with laxative and speed abuse throughout highschool in attempts to lose weight. It got to the point where my suppliers would cut me off entirely and one more than a few occasions, I found myself swallowing down palmfuls or laxatives to…

Oh my god. That dress (the black one) is absolutely stunning. I got a steampunk vibe from it. Please tell me where you bought this at??

No. Just no.

Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, Life of Pi, Blair Witch Project, The Hills Have Eyes, but my new favorite of the year is VHS (it's on netflix). Best horror film I've seen in years.

Initially, when I was very sick, I went to an ED center but I disliked it. Eating more calories wasn't the issue. They forced me to disrespect my vegan ways even though I had no reason to. Also, it was a judgmental place, and I wasn't taken seriously because I didn't look underweight, nor do I look underweight now. I know…

Yes. Just general therapy, though. My therapist is one of the doctors (I did talk to a medical one while receiving a physical) I mentioned, and he's told me that I would be all right losing more weight for vanity reasons (not the best thing to say to someone in recovery). Regardless, I'm not trying to be under 100 lbs…

Both of the dog pictures, very cute :)

I understand your concerns but I've recently seen doctors who have said that on a smaller frame, my weight is healthy. In fact, the people around me encourage me to lose more weight. I don't believe I'm eating too little.

The watermelon weighed in to about 530 calories, measured in oz, each oz is around 9 calories.

But what I'm doing isn't unhealthy... I'm not at a severe calorie deficit, and I'm not looking to maintain weight. If I eat more, even 250 calories more, I'll just end up maintaining weight and that's not what I'm looking to do :/ I just think my issue is a lack of self control rather than undereating.

Haha my bad :) I'm pretty sure it's just the warm season but the fruit has been absolutely decadent lately! Almost all of it has been fantastic. I haven't even been eating any sweets lately because there's so much variety of fruit to take advantage of :)

I measured it all in oz on my food scale, everything was zero'd out. I'm not sure if I might be wrong :/ it was a pound of cherries and 2/3 of a small watermelon.
