3,000 calories
Last night (and the past few days) I have been eating upwards of 3,000 calories! My goal is 1,600. I weighed in this morning and in the past MONTH I have managed to gain 10 pounds. Within the past YEAR i have GAINED 20 pounds! Unintentionally... This overeating NEEDS TO STOP.

Unintentional bulking?
Hi! I am 5'9" or so and around 125 pounds. I am moderately active (running 30 minutes or so a day). My calorie goal is set at 1,600 to maintain my current weight but always eat upwards of 2,500! I have been gaining weight over the past few months (unintentionally... just because I eat so much!) and I hate it. I see others…

Super Bowl
Went over my "goal" today by about 200 calories (thanks to fondue and ice cream). Not going to stress out about it... Fresh start tomorrow! And I did workout today to compensate I guess. What are YOUR favorite "splurge" foods. My weakness is cheese...cheese, chocolate and ice cream oh my.

What are some of YOUR bizarre food combinations?
This may sound strange, but I am OBSESSED with shredded green and red cabbage tossed with stevia, cinnamon, cocoa powder and crumbled goat cheese... Weird, I know. I also love dried seaweed (nori) spread with peanut butter... What are some of YOUR strangest food combos?

Post-vacation rut/lacking motivation...
Hey guys! I recently got back from a Caribbean cruise vacation and am really struggling to get back into normal eating habits and my workout routine. I was expecting to gain weight during vacation, but (surprisingly) I didn't. However, being off my exercise routine is really throwing me off and causing some anxiety. I need…

Let's Try This Again...
Hi! I'm Josh. I have been off and on MFP for about 3 years now (this is my 4th account!). I have struggled with an eating disorder for about five years; from severe restriction to binging to over-exercising and bulimia. I have experienced it all. In the past I surrounded myself with negative influences and used MFP to fuel…

Best Food Scales?
'Bout time I invest in a legitimate food scale. I've been using a cheap analog scale and it is so terribly inaccurate and such a pain! Especially when I am attempting IIFYM. For those of you who use digital food scales, which kind do you have?

What is YOUR favorite vegetable? Favorite fruit?
I LOVE vegetables and fruit! They make up a good portion of my diet... Picking a favorite is seemingly impossible. I love them all in their own way... BUT, if I had to choose favorites... Vegetable: Cabbage, broccoli, kale (I seriously can't choose...) Fruit: Any type of berry, peaches, cantaloupe, papaya...

Actively Fighting.
The past few weeks have left me feeling quite guilty. I have gained weight due to binges at night after days of restricting. My motivation to workout/run has also taken a hit. However, today I am actively fighting the thoughts and urges to restrict and binge later on. Currently it is 5 pm and I have not worked out yet…

Protein Bar and Peanut Butter Binges
Recently at night, after a day of eating relatively healthy, I cave. Protein bars and peanut butter are my weaknesses. Tonight, for instance, I binged on Quest chocolate chunk protein bars (like half a box) and one too many servings of peanut butter. My mind does not understand the meaning of "moderation..." I feel sick. :s

+10 pounds since last weigh in...
I weighed myself last Monday and was 10 pounds lighter. I have been overeating/binging the past couple of weeks, but the most I have ever eaten in a single day is till under 4,000. I know you'll say it's "water weight," but still... The number causes so much guilt and anxiety!

2,500+ calories a day... Overeating...
...And so the nightly binges continue. The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. By this definition I am literally insane. Restrict myself all day (to less than 1,500 or so calories) and binge all night (currently at 3,000 calories at 2:00 am). The guilt and shame I…
