All should read! EDs, calories, and the truth
Hello. My name is Cam, and I'm a 19 year old girl, almost 20, living in San Francisco, CA. I had an eating disorder that developed in the summer between my freshman and sophomore years of high school. I was insecure with everything and just wanted some control. But even as I starved, I would slip and binge. My weight…

How to not hate myself when I eat sweets?
Hi, so I've been working really hard for about six months (been using MFP on and off). I'm really close to my goal weight and I feel great. I work out every day and am consistently under my cal goal.

Frustrated, need help with low/no carb diet?
Hi. 3 days ago, I started a low carb diet. I'm not eating fruits, legumes, or grains until about a week from now, when I'll start adding them in. So I've been eating eggs (the only dairy I eat) and vegetables. But I'm frustrated and hungry. What else is extremely low carb, or completely carbless? (btw, I haven't been using…

1000+ cals left and just not hungry?
I have eaten about 260 cals today. I know, it sounds like nothing, but I'm honestly not hungry. I've worked out, and I ate three meals. On the smaller side yes but they were all healthy and I was full. I'm not sure what to do. Isn't it bad to eat when you're not hungry? My diary is open, thoughts welcome...thanks.

Thoughts on happiness?
Today's been a hard day. This week has been a hard week, and I just don't feel happy. Even when I work out and eat well, I just don't feel content. Music, horse back riding, and hanging with friends have also failed to cheer me up. I don't feel depressed or anything, just not cheerful and optimistic about anything. When…

Eating junk: treat or harmful in the long run?
Hi, so I've done well so far today. I burned about 500 cals and ate about 400. What I did eat was super healthy and I feel great!

Stuck with not enough cals?
Hi there, soooo I ate until I was full for every meal, and I burned about 350 cals today. I have about 1000 cals left for the day and I'm not hungry. What do people do in this situation? Each a bunch of junk, or food, when they're not even hungry or craving it? Or just be WAY under the minimum?

New here, looking for some support!
Hello! My name is Cam, and I'm an 18 year old female. I'm 5'2" and my goal is to lose about 20 pounds. The weight goal isn't as important to my mission as becoming a healthier individual is. Trying to stay healthy while maintaining good grades at a university and attempting sleep and a social life seems nearly impossible.…
