Ladies learning to love their bodies? Help!
When I started high school, I started getting taller and I stretched out and I wasn't a little fat girl anymore. I had bigger and smaller friends who always told me I was gorgeous (even though I didn't feel I had tried at all) and my dad never scrutinised me anymore about being "chubby". I stopped growing and suddenly I…

HELP ME
I am NOT losing anything! And I'm not just gaining muscle and losing fat. I tried on a shirt this morning that I haven't worn since I started MFP and the sleeves were too tight! I'm not exaggerating. This is actually distressing. I am 100% honest with all my logging, and I've stopped eating crap, and I've started eating…

Pulled a semi all-nighter to get an essay written, and now I'm not sure whether I should get a really crappy sleep (2.5 hours) or I should have a somewhat delerious and unproductive day tomorrow and then have a (very) early night when I get home. Btw, if I'm supposed to stay awake, I expect you to all entertain me. :)

Help! Daily self-sabotage! I can't keep up
Since changing to a healthier lifestyle I've begun bingeing! (I know, oxymoron, right?) I never binged before, but now I do almost every night. I eat very healthily during the day - taking only fruits and vegetables and a small staple (potato, bread, brown rice, etc) to school and drinking about 1.8L of ONLY water before I…

Milk wars
I'm having a problem choosing which milk I should be drinking every day. I currently do not drink anything but water as I see drinks as a huge waste of calories. But I need to have 1/2 cup of some kind of milk on my cereal every morning. My options a) full cream cow's (high calories, poor nutrition except calcium, tastes…
