Losing Weight, Bisexual, Dating sites?
So My Fitness Pal friends I have a quick question.. I've come to terms with my sexuality a while ago, but I haven't exactly come out. Now that isn't the question in mind here.

Bisexuality
I'm bisexual.. It's something that I have struggled with accepting for years. I'm 20 years old now and I grew up in a very religious family. I know they won't understand. So even though I finally admitted it to myself five months ago, I haven't been able to tell anybody else. A couple really close friends know, but they…

Loving yourself
How does one work on loving themselves? I'm 20 years old and growing up I've never really had self esteem ...ever. Since I was little I was told horrible things.

Rant...
Apparently, my not being able to get over 8 years of sexual abuse means that I'm 'playing the injured bird'. And that I shouldn't be depressed because I have no valid reason too. So..the flashbacks and everything isn't a valid reason..? I mean sure, it isn't like it's happening now. But the flashbacks and panic attacks…

Regarding Free/Cheat days

Exercise Calories
Do you have to eat them back? For me it just depends on if I am hungry or not...but usually I don't and if I do I don't eat all of them back. Anywho, how does eating exercise calories work for helping you lose weight? Wouldn't you lose faster if you did not eat them back? I feel like I've been asking TONS of questions…
