5'4" 113/114 lbs 26" waist Pants size drive me crazy... My old jeans (from 5 years ago) are a size 7, but the new ones are a size 3.

I have the 30-day day and night contacts, but I take mine out every night. Don't want the chance of having a contact getting stuck and lost on the back of my eye. Yuck.

5'4", weight fluctuates between 116 - 120... regardless of weight, I'm a size 7... sometimes a size 5 if the company is really pushing the whole vanity sizing thing. The only time I was a size 0/00 was when I weighed 90lbs. and under a couple of years ago. Not going back to that... I'm lifting weights for the first time…

I don't think 1.5 rolls is fattening... as long as you're meeting your calorie goals, I wouldn't worry about it. :) Plus, since you're the one who is making them, you can control how much rice, oil, and filling goes in them... so if you're worried about it, you can reduce some of the ingredients. Anyway, my mom eats them…

Sounds and looks delicious. Have everything except a mold!

I typically buy for the week... but there is some stuff that lasts a lot longer than that (like seasoning) and there's some stuff that I buy in bulk when they're on sale, so that can last for 2-3 weeks too. For this upcoming week, I spent about 20 dollars on groceries. I bought organic chicken breasts, organic eggs,…

I used to have Binge Eating Disorder. I ate 2000 - 4000 calories within an 1 hr - 2 hr time frame (these calories did not include the food I had already eaten for the day.) I did this 3x-7x a week for about a year. Yes, I got some medical help. The point? Well, I took what I learned in therapy because I still find those…

Thanks for the input! That goal isn't the end all be all for me, so it's not a huge concern for me. I'd rather gain more muscle, so I appreciate the info about strength training. :) I'll definitely look it up.

Any advice? Should I focus more on meeting the carb/fat/protein goals? Am I eating the wrong stuff/change my workout routine (even though I just started it 3 weeks ago)? Should I use the TDEE with a smalIer deduction, like 10% instead of 15%, so I'm eating more calories? I know I don't have much to lose, but even if I…

Agreed. If you're still seeing your therapist, please have a talk with her or him. I've been there, done that. I was anorexic (not overweight prior to that either), then I tried to get healthy on my own, which led me down the binge eating disorder path. So yeah, it's probably best to have more sessions to keep you on track…

I'd like to get back down my weight that I was about 4 years ago, which was between 105-110 lbs. I gained a lot of weight since then, and that extra weight showed on my light frame. :/ I was 135 lbs, but I brought it down to my current stats: 117 - 119 lbs and BF 23.5%.

I agree - Yoplait isn't the ideal yogurt brand because it has so many sugars and ingredients. Look at the ingredients... the less the better (and knowing what they are is helpful too). Go to a Whole Foods/Sprouts/Sunflower Market/whatever and look at their yogurts. Greek yogurt (Fage) and Icelandic yogurt (Siggi's) are the…

I don't know about Whey Low Sweetener but I have had this "ice cream" before. It's not as creamy as real ice cream (leaving it to thaw on the counter might help it a little? Never tried) - it's more solid like fro-yo (imo). The flavor isn't as rich either, but I was still satisfied with it. I got the Chocolate Peanut…

Well, to be a permanent vegetarian, find veggies that you DO LIKE eating... you don't have to eat the ones you don't like. Although if you eat something you don't like for long enough, you might acquire a taste for them. :) For broccoli and cauliflower I like to add them into my pasta - the sauces flavor the veggies and it…

Forgive yourself. Next time tackle the emotions that set you to "binge." Really think about your eating - hungry or just filling a void? Sometimes your body does want the extra calories because it's afraid of starving. Maybe you should have 1 or 2 days where you eat 100 extra-ish calories more... You really shouldn't gain…

I envy your progress; I'm struggling with my ED. I was anorexic (severe calorie restriction, exercising, excessive fear about being fat, etc.) because I really felt I could be in control of something and that people more people would like me if I was skinnier. I dropped to a dangerously unhealthy weight and finally I tried…

I agree, I think it's on the low side. Depending on the tortilla size - a 12" is around 310 calories. I work at a dining hall, so I saw the calorie stats of that. I would guess minimally 600-something considering the bacon and turkey. Dressing/sauces factor in too...
