Interesting Read on Sugar Addiction
This was posted on IFLS today, about what happens to your brain when you give up sugar for Lent. Also thought it kind of showed why some of our over-restrictive tendencies post-binge set us up to do it all over again. Sharing if anyone is interested!…

Completely Ashamed
Last month, I made it through a majority of the month with 4 binges. In the last week it went downhill, which has carried into April. I've binged more in April than I have eaten normally. I am disgusted with myself. I eat until I am in pain. Then (and this is the sad part) I WISH I was able to purge (I never have, because…

TDEE Help!
Hello all! I posted this in the IPOARM group but didn't get any responses, so I'm hoping a wider community can help! I need help figuring out how many calories I should eat a day! I know it is laid out in black and white in the IPOARM thread BUT I had a bod pod test done, and it gives me different calculations than what I…

My First NSV
Having a pretty rough diet day, so I thought I'd post about my first NSV to cheer myself up! Within the past 4 years I've tried to donate blood four times. Twice I was allowed to, and twice I was rejected. I told all my friends I couldn't donate blood because my iron was too low but that was a lie. I actually couldn't…

Do your family and friends know?
Hey everyone, So I've been wondering, do your family and friends know about your binge-eating tendencies? Mine don't. I've never been brave enough to tell anyone. Partly because I am so ashamed. And now I'm at this bizarre cross-road where half my friends on MFP are from my binge-eating support group, and the other half…

Help keeping carbs low!
Hello all! So far on my weight loss journey, I have kept my carbs/fat/protein at 55/30/15 as suggested by MFP. I want to change it now to the highly recommended 40/30/30. My problem is I eat too many carbs! Since trying to eat healthier, I've been having more fruit, and my carbs are terribly high. So my question is, what…

LA Fitness
Hey everyone! So this summer I am going to be moving to a new apartment that will be conveniently located within walking distance of an LA fitness. Only problem? They're expensive! Best deal I've found was no registration and 39.99 per month, which is twice as much as I currently pay at RetroFitness. Does anyone know if LA…
