I tend to gain when I'm under stress, but I find it's because I am a little more lax with my diet and I don't push myself as hard during my workouts. Yoga really helps me relax, I highly recommend!

I think judgmental *kitten* comes dangerously close to name calling...

:heart:

And you're missing my point ... it is unreasonable to expect everyone else to change for you. You can control where you go and what you do and what threads you click on. Can you stop having an ED? No, obviously not -- but it's up to you to decide how you live with it. Patients with schizophrenia have to learn to live in…

*TEARS* I loved this!!

So can going to the grocery store. Or reading threads about food. Or being on a weightloss site....there are lots of triggers. It's not the job of everyone else to change for someone recovering from an ED...it's the job of the person recovering from the ED to change. That's the point of recovery. Now go ahead and swear at…

I'm really sorry this is such a struggle for you, but honestly, if it's that hard for you to see these kinds of posts -- you should really avoid them, for your own health. People at the grocery store, malls, online -- everywhere -- people judge. If that is going to negatively impact YOU and your progress and your battle…

I prefer stevia

haha well played!

When I look in another cart, I'm not judging the other person -- but instead reflecting on how glad I am that I've made the changes I have. If that impacts someone in a negative way, that's not really on me .... It's because something is going on in their own head which honestly would be happening even if I didn't take a…

"Perk up ladies, you've got work to do!"

Yeah, I'm a total cart creeper

My husband loves buffets, so we go occasionally -- the last time I went to a chinese buffet, the damage for me was 647 calories. But (and this is a huge one), I can't eat gluten -- so that automatically takes out anything fried and most kinds of sauces. And I still ate a lot of calories for one sitting. Plan for it, log…

Bahaha, I was going to say Bieber.

This makes me really sad. Nobody deserves to feel like this, ESPECIALLY by the hand of their partner. Please tell me you are working on getting healthy for you, not him. Edited for spelling.

My husband is THE BEST. Bottom line.

It's not a contest, is it? Your attitude and competitiveness are just not useful. Who cares? If the only way you can feel good about your weight loss is to maintain that your way is better than hers (even if it is), you have bigger issues than the fact that she lost more weight than you. You lost weight and someone noticed…

Bahahahaha! I work with troubled kids, so they usually just tell me f*@% off to my face....then punch me :smile:

:heart:

I'm sorry you feel this way, but honestly, posts like this fuel the people you're talking about. Negatively commenting about them is absolutely not going to help. That being said, if it's hugely bothersome to you, I'd advise staying off the forums. Once someone told me that I was going to be fat forever because I drink…

This was to 17-year-old me, but it's the same idea http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/kaetmarie/view/dear-17-year-old-me-158156

I think it's worse to dance around it and worry about trying to make people feel okay about it. You never hear a doctor worry about what saying someone has cancer or diabetes is going to do to their self-esteem, because it is what it is ... like it or not. The "beauty" of being overweight or obese is that it is not set in…

omg, i've been dying for some GF pancakes!! making these this weekend!

Root beer .... canteloupe and honeydew <--disgusting!

started eating 5-6 mini meals and stopped using creamer in my coffee
