I look thinner, yet I now weigh more...
Hey everyone! I'm not sure how to really express how I feel right now. I started the year at almost sixty kilos, and lost almost five kilos quite quickly (Within two months.). I haven't really been weighing myself as I come from an ED background. However, I look much thinner than I did at the start of the year. Toned. And…

Does anyone here not count calories, or have stopped?
Hey all! Lately, I've found that counting calories have consumed too much time and thought that could be put towards other things. To put it into perspective, it's at the point where when I look at food, all I see is a number. Does anyone here not count calories? How has it affected your journey? Have you let go of the…

I'm addicted to food, and it's taking over my life. Help!
Hey all. I'm pretty embarrassed by this, so if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Basically, I am obsessed with food. Seriously. It's gotten to the point where it's the last thing on my mind as I fall to sleep. "What am I gonna eat for breakfast tomorrow? I know, I'll search Pinterest/Instagram for…

Vegan, have a few questions!
Hey all. So a quick info; Gone cold turkey vegan after witnessing a *kitten* fight and over hearing the losing chook being killed. It's pretty much disturbed me for life. I haven't found it difficult transitioning, as I was a vegetarian for years until last year. However, I was a fat vego. (Processed foods.) Regarding…

Not happy.
Feeling really *kitten* discouraged to be honest. I've been working hard, eating at least ninety per cent clean for the past year, and for the last three months I've hardly shifted a kilo. I know the reason is because of insomnia; three months ago my grandfather died, and I haven't slept a full nights sleep since. I…

Insomnia and weight loss goals just don't work out! :(
Hey all! I've had a great deal of sleep issues for three months now. They started after my grandfathers death. Nightmares, then anxiety towards sleep. Now I can't sleep without waking up during the night for hours at a time, several times a night. I know a great deal of it is due to stress, but most of that is behind me…

What's the most you've eaten in one day?
Today my boyfriend (Now fiance!) left for his job interstate. He'll be gone for a long time, and after his flight, I felt so... sad. I ate my God damn feelings. I'm not even talking like, one chocolate. I'm talking... One bar of caramel chocolate, Three Krispy Kreme donuts, One Maxibon ice-cream (Peanut Butter...Bets thing…

Challenge: I'm going to photograph and post everything I eat for a month!
(Because writing it all down has become so tedious!) I read on a blog about a woman who photographed every single thing she put in her mouth for a month. Not only did she come out far more mindful of what she ate, she also lost 9lbs. (I think that's three kilos.) It seems a little absurd, but to be fair, typing in my…

I crave butter. Just plain butter.
It started this year, and it's generally bit of a monthly thing (Yes, in that sense!). My diet is very healthy, and I eat plenty of good fats, veggies, water, and sugar is a weekend thing really. In moderation. But then I just crave butter, on it's own. I can eat half a stick sometimes. Is there something I'm missing? Like…

Abdominal massages for constipation?
I have a history of laxative abuse, and very often have problems just...getting things moving. I sometimes can be blocked up for a week at a time. It makes me very uncomfortable, and bloated also. I heard a story recently of a girl who got an abdominal massage to relieve her constipation, and help out with her period. She…

Big breakfasts, small dinners?
Hey there. :) I've always found that eating a big breakfast in the morning, and smaller meals at lunch or dinner has worked favorably. Has anyone else found this approach useful as well? I was hoping someone could also maybe have a look at my food intake, mostly for breakfast, just to tell me whether there's anything I…

Just need a vent.
Pew. I generally try not to do this. Feel bad about what I eat, that is. I'm still recovering I guess from an eating disorder, but. Eh. Everyone has their own trigger foods, yes? Well, mine's peanut butter. On my best days, I can down a whole jar in a sitting. :P But, I try not too. I lead a healthy lifestyle. We don't…

Bouncing back from an alcoholic binge
I suppose the title states it all. Whoops! Too many wines last night at my best friends twentyfirst. Even composing this post on a dimmed screen! Haha. I would be grateful of anyone were to offer me some tips on how to bounce back after a binge? Hangover cure tips and whatever. Can't use last night as an excuse not to go…

Peanut Butter is my boyfriend... And I kind of need to dump him!
Hey there, strangers. :) I'm terrible at intros. They always remind me of job interviews! Anyway. My name is Cass, however, most call me Caddie. :) I'm a (Rad)elaidan (Adelaide!) resident looking at improving my overall fitness after recovering from a car accident/ Eating Disorder. I'm also studying to become a Wellness…
