Re: the bold, I agree, and not once in this entire thread did I ever imply that this wasn't true. Of course people who take an extreme, unhealthy, obsessive fixation to and emotional reliance on food or whatever else are the minority, the vast majority of people don't ever truly reach that point. My point is that those…

Congrats to you for never having faced a food addiction of any kind but that doesn't mean your experience extends to anyone else, doc.

Neither of these links disprove my point. Your first is simply a definition and the second one says it "may" not be an addiction. For some people their response to sugar shares characteristics with other forms of addiction. Don't discount other peoples experience because you think its simply an impulse control problem. And…

obviously theres a difference. The prerequisite for an addiction is not that it totally destroys your entire life either. Theres really liking something and then theres relying on it heavily in an unhealthy emotional way. Its possible to become dependent on anything, like I said. To flat out say theres no such thing as a…

erm I agree with the rest of your post but this isn't true. you can get addicted to virtually anything.

When theres an entire line of treadmills/whatever else open and somebody just HAS to take the one immediately next to you.

I like to remind myself of a quote that really changed my thinking in regards to binge eating or just snacking in general, which is "discipline is the choice between what you want now and what you want most". every time I'm about to grab some chips and boredom eat or go for seconds when I dont need it, I just think of that…

dropped $20 on a box of really nice blackwing pencils.... worth it though

Working on upper body strength may help the appearance of breasts.

This was at the height of my ED and I obviously know now that it does nothing so keep your smug, know-it-all attitude to yourself.

I'm also vegan, I find that when I'm eating enough calories its actually pretty hard to eat an inadequate amount of nutrients. The myths about vegans not getting enough nutrients like protein and such are...... pretty much mostly myths. I highly recommend you check out Colleen Patrick-Goudreau's podcast, she was a…

I've had severe acne every day since I hit puberty and the only time in my life when I ever had nearly completely clear skin was when I was at my lowest BMI. I gained some back, nearly to my starting weight, and my acne came back again. Its nowhere near as bad as it used to be when I was a teenager but its also not quite…

I love spicy food but eugh at adding cayenne to random things like yogurt. I tried that lemon + cayenne water thing for a week or so and didnt feel anything except nauseousness.

i love running until im actually doing it, then im not so sure anymore ;)

I would say No, its not okay to sneak just one bite of a cookie or just a tiny spoonful of ice cream because it WILL add up and it WILL spiral into binging and you'll be miserable.

Everyone should check out This 30 days of Yoga with Adrienne challenge! Today is day 30 for me, but I think I'm going to start over again tomorrow :)

I'm 5'2, my starting weight was 130 and I felt awful. My lowest weight since joining mfp was 110, but then I gained a lot back and am now around 120-125. My ultimate goal is 105 lbs. I do about an hour of circuit training a day and around 20-30 minutes of yoga. my biggest problem is my tendency to binge eat that I picked…

I think I'd seek a second (professional) opinion.

This is pretty similar to my eating habits tbh. My main meals are at least 4 hours apart but I tend to get hungry in between, so I have a light snack 2 hours after a meal. I've found this to be the best way to keep me satisfied throughout the day.

PB2 is very good but I find that when I want creamy peanut buttery goodness, there is no substitute that does the trick like a big spoonful of the real stuff.

Try almond extract with whatever kind of fruit you like I also like coconut extract and lime juice

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I like Pure Green Natural Protein Powder and Chocolate Garden Of Life Organic Protein Powder.... because they taste good to me, mostly... I'm not sure what else constitutes a bad protein powder vs a good protein powder

Thats not too bad in my opinion edit for fail math

basically

I had leftover chipotle for breakfast today btw if that helps lol...

just here to join in the egg hate

Good work, and I really love your tats

So help me out here, what should I wear to discourage the primitive caveman who simply cannot help himself from attacking a pretty looking woman from choosing me as his target? A burqa? Thanks for your help
