How can not eating be good for you? I can understand occasional fasting and calorie counting, but not eating much or nothing every day can only lead to disaster. Did you talk to your doctor before you started these supplements? If you take them too much and become dependent on their appetite suppression you will never…

I wake up at 430am to catch a train to work. I usually have breakfast at 7:30 once I get settled at work. Lunch usually around 12:30 and a snack around 2pm. Usually eat dinner around 7pm. Dinner is always my biggest meal. I'm usually full after dinner and don't need to eat again because I go to bed at 10pm.

I eat Sargento thin sliced cheese. Kraft singles aren't even real cheese....it's "cheese product". Yuck

I had mine open when I first started here on MFP. I got too many emails and messages about what I should and shouldn't eat and what I was doing wrong. I am counting calories for ME not anyone else so I put my diary accessible with a password only.

I go to a small shop by me and they will custom mix a fragrance for you. It's great! Right now I'm into white patchouli and lavender. AWESOME!

that would have really pissed me off! doctors don't know everything!!!

I'm in the USA but always looking for new friends who understand what I am going thru. Just remember this is a journey....it will take some time to get to the end but it will be so worth it! :)

I guess it depends how long it was in your system before you started vomiting.....lightweight! Lol!

New York!

Lol I had that once too!

I had a total fail today....I'm accepting what happened and am going to do better tomorrow. HUGS!!!

hey if people want to screw their bodies up by eating grossly under what they should be who am I to judge or say anything? I'm worried about ME....that's all!

I am trying to lose weight and get fit and if you need to gain weight to become healthier and more self confident than more power to you!! I wish you luck and am happy for you that MFP has a "gain weight" setting! Take pictures of yourself now and as you make progress to record your look and that will help with your self…

also ice cream cone cereal

I work nights 5 days a week and totally agree with you!

I take ambien when I can't sleep (I'm a shift worker) and I haven't noticed any diet related side effects. If you want to try a natural remedy try meletonin.

I am set for 1750 a day. Most days I average between 1500 and 1700. Some days I am not hungry so I eat as much as I can (don't want to get sick) and I will eat a little extra the next day to try to make up for it. I also work nights so my feeding schedule is very different than someone who works days.

apple newtons

they never have this stuff for blackberry :(

very interesting! thanks for the info!

Irish and German on Dad's side, Irish and Welsh on my Mom's side. Born in the U.S.A and loving my pale Irish skin and freckles! :)

I have the same problem. I eat popcorn if I need a salty snack. I don't bring junk food to work and we have eliminated chips, cookies, donuts, etc from the house. Baby steps! You can do it!! :)

when I feel fat (which is all the damn time lately) I cry and then get on with my life. Refocus on losing weight and trying to exercise despite my injuries.

I just can't eat when its too hot out. Usually fill up on fluids and cold food mostly. It will be 90 here tomorrow and we have no AC....should be fun!

I stay out of the kitchen and drink a bottle of water. that will usually kill the craving for me!

construction site medicine

you are absolutely not eating enough! you need to figure out your basal metabolic rate and see how many calories you are burning just by being alive and then eat 20% more than that (I think that is the number) good luck

I work nights in a medical clinic on a construction site. Most of my shift is spent sitting at my desk doing paperwork and treating patients in the clinic. Once a night I have to go out and do a site tour and wear the 35 pound medic pack on my back when I do. I count that as exercise (lots and lots of walking). I figure…

I have protein powder mixed with 8oz of milk and a piece of fruit as my end of work meal usually 2 hours before I go to bed (in the morning). I work nights so that breakfast gives me much needed protein and keeps me full until I get up and have my evening meal prior to going to work. I have found that I eat less junk by…
