No Willpower Anymore
Okay, I've lost any willpower I used to have around sweet foods. (think chocolate, sweet-covered popcorn, trail mix, etc.) To the point that I eat them at night (I wouldn't call it a binge necessarily) constantly after dinner, and the next morning the idea of breakfast sounds so gross to me because of how full I still am.…

Athlete Who Can't Eat Much During Day, Eat Junk at Night
Okay, I know this is probably a "just eat more food, you fool!" kind of topic, but honestly it's an actual problem for me. I'm a cheerleader, and while I do have a history of an undiagnosed, but still very much there, eating disorder, (which I am now just about recovered from. I still fight the thoughts occasionally, but I…

Nervous about weight training
So I've been a cardio/light body weight workout girl for forever now, and tomorrow I'm finally getting a "fitness orientation" at my local gym to learn how to use the weights/strength machines. Is it odd that I'm nervous? I'm a bit nervous about have a trainer teach me and the idea of lifting scares me a bit. And…

How do you really know?
I hear all different numbers on the amount of calories you need per day, and I'm a bit confused on how to know just how many. For instance, you see all over magazines/tumblr/pinterest that women should eat 1200 calories, then other places I see about 1400, then I hear that you need at least 1300 just to sustain life, then…

Does it Really Matter?
My question is, does it really matter when you eat most of your calories for the day? I'm a 5'6, 125-130lb. girl, who's looking to *maybe* drop a pound or two (really just be closer to 125lbs. than I am 130lbs.) and really focus on toning up, and I've found that I like not eating much during the day, then enjoying a dinner…

Ate SO much this weekend, how do I get back to normal weight
Okay, so this weekend I've eaten horribly. As in, I feel bloated, fat, don't want to even THINK about seeing how much I weigh, kinda horrible. How do I get back on track this week? I had the mindset this weekend of "eh, I've already had junk, why not more?" and I'm terrified that I'll keep doing that. For example, today I…

Looking leaner but gained 5 pounds in a week?
Okay, quick stats here: I'm 5'6, a female, and as of today, 132lbs. Exactly a week ago, I was 127lbs. I've been cleaning up my diet (Yes, I am always for the occasional venti skinny peppermint mocha at starbucks, but veggies and fruit are becoming staples!), and adding in cardio/strength training videos form Fitness…

Messed Up Digestion (TMI!!)
Okay, so I've been working to make healthier choices and workout to tone up/lose a little fat, however my digestion is HORRIBLE. As in I can go 4 days with no bowel movements. I drink plenty of water and eat my fruits and veggies, yet sometimes it's so incredibly painful. Last night I was so constipated that I looked and…

I binged but feel thinner
I'm at a healthy weight, but I'm really working on toning up/losing fat/maybe dropping a pound or two/etc. I've been clean eating and exercising, however last night I binged. I've had a history of binging/chewing/spitting out food in the past, but have really, really tried to quit and besides last night, I've been…

Not hungry for breakfast
I know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but how incredibly vital is it to eat even if I'm not hungry in the mornings? Like, at this currently moment, I'm about to go make myself my morning cup of coffee, and I feel satisfied. A feeling almost like I just ate. Is it necessary to go eat something? I…

Is it Water Retention/Constipation?
(Just TMI, fair warning) Okay, I'm a 5'6, younger girl, and as of this morning, I'm weighing in at 131. I know I'm at a healthy weight for my body, but I feel best, and would like to lose/maintain down to about 123-127. I normally weigh in at 127, however, after making healthier changes (eating more, but all wholesome,…
