This is NOT a stupid topic, hun. I know exactly how you're feeling. I'm recovering from bulimia/anorexia so I know what it's like to want to just all out binge SO BAD! It seems uncontrollable at times but you can do it! You have the power to make that choice and resist temptaion and the more you practice this the easier it…

I'm doing P90X Doubles right now. Five weeks to go! Then I'm doing Insanity and then P90X2! Lovin' it!

I UNDERSTAND! I promise I get it. I was bulimic for 4 years and then anorexic later on but oh my goodness I feel ya about the bingeing. It's uncontrollable and makes you feel so high while you're doing it. But afterwards......you just want to die.

Thanks guys! And maybe I will start a group.....

I just want people to see my picture and know i used to be an anorexic sickly 65 pounds. I want all the women to know it is more than possible to overcome an eating disorder! Whether it's binge eating, bulimia, or anorexia it can be done!!!!

It's taken me almost 5 months to get to the point where I am appreciating my body. Since I'm recently recovering from anorexia and used to being around 65 lbs anything above that weight usually makes me feel HUGE!!! But FINALLY! I actually LIKE my body! It is possible to overcome a severe eating disorder people!!! I'm…

I'm recovering from anorexia. Used to be 65 lbs. Not anymore! I'm extremely open about it. I think it needs to be talked about.

HAHA thanks for fixing my picture!!!

PROTEIN!!!!! lol. I customized my MFP goals. I set my protein to 40%, carbs to 40%, and fat to 20%. Actually I started out with 50% protein, 30% carbs, and 20% fat but I just recently started incorporating more carbs in order to keep my energy level up for working out and lifting. Feel free to take a look at my food diary…

Thank you so much for the love and support everyone! I love you all and wish everyone luck on your long and difficult journey!

How did I do it? I'm half way through P90X Doubles so I recommend this program to anyone and everyone!!! Thank you! Love you guys! Meg

What about working out in the mornings? I work full time too and, like you, just want to pass out when I get home around 6 pm. I wake up at 4:45 am every single morning and work out for at least an hour and then go to work. Yeah, it sometimes sucks getting up earlier but it frees up your afternoons so you can spend it with…

What is Kombucha? Lol.

Have you thought about maybe purchasing a HRM? It's so much easier that way because you know exactly how many calories you personally burned in that amount of time and you can add that workout to the database. That's what I've done. Hope I helped :o)

It does not seem pointless to me girlfriend!!! You want a baby! If that's not a big enough motivator I don't know what is. But to answer your questions, yes, I'm sure all of us have felt like giving up at one time or another. I just had an off week where I felt like throwing in the towel. But keep at it! You can do this if…

Are you actually starving or just can't help but eat? Sometimes we eat for other reasons than being actually hungry. If you are hungry do you eat meals throughout the day at all?

I don't go to the gym at all. You should check out www.beachbody.com and look at some of the workout programs. I'm doing P90X now and loving it. You can workout in the privacy of your own home :o)

The limit for protein that MFP defaults to is actually really low so I wouldn't worry about going over. I actually customized mine to 40% protein, 40% carbs, and 20% fats.

-Cocky people -Grammar/spelling mistakes -Not saying "thank you" when someone holds the door open for them

I was 68 pounds and on my death bed. Now I'm on week 8 of P90X Doubles and weigh a muscular 101 pounds!!!!! I'm learning to love and appreciate my natural God given body and I am lovin' life!

How about drinking coffee or hot tea throughout the day? That's what I do. Just a suggestion :o)

I think I could help. I've been to treatment for anorexia 6 times and have been through classes upon classes of nutrition classes. I also see a dietician now. I know, why would you want to take food/diet advice from a former anorexic lol but I'm actually very knowledgeable about nutrition believe it or not. Message me if…

My huge family does this every year as well except we call it the Chinese Gift Exchange. I recommend getting a gift from Spencer's. They're always fun and should produce a few laughs lol.

I love me some ranch dressing as well but the calories....ugh. Have you tried Marie's Yogurt ranch dressing? It tastes just like regular Hidden Valley ranch! It is delicious! You can usually find it in the produce section since it needs to be refrigerated, Breakfast? A big bowl of oatmeal! One of my favorites!

1. Smoking 2. Coffee

I must admit when I first joined MFP months ago I was in the midst of my anorexia at 68 pounds and used this site to maintain or even lose more weight but now I'm 30 pounds heavier and looking to tone and gain some major muscle!!! So I do agree that this site can attract disordered eaters which is sad but we need to be…

"Have I eaten enough today?" "No thanks, but it looks really good!" (when someone offers a bite of their food.) "I'm such an early bird! I love getting up before the sun and working out!" (I used to be jobless and sleep until the afternoon and then do nothing all day and now I get up at 4:45 every morning to do some P90X…

Scrapple is a breakfast food sort of like sausage. Very yummy but you probably don't want to know what it's made of...sort of like hotdogs lol

-Oatmeal -Red Delicious apples -Cereal and millk

Everything in moderation! I say go for it just not overboard as long as you stay within your calories. If you feel deprived you may end up bingeing (sp?) at some point.
