Binge-Eating Problems
I've been binge eating for coming up to 7 years (I'm 23 in June) - WHY did I ever go on a stupid diet when I was 17!? I was probably at my lowest weight ever at that point - but I read Bridget Jones' Diary (which made me think I was fat!) so I started to count calories. 7 years and every diet under-the-sun later, and here…

'Normal' eating - what is it?
Hi folks, I'll try to keep it short and sweet. Basically I have a really bad habit; binge eating. I've done it on/off (mostly on!) for the last 7 years, and I'm trying very hard to stop (I read 'Brain over Binge' - would recommend). I know what I have to do (accept binge urges but don't react to them, etc.) but my…

I have had ENOUGH (binge-eating)
I just can't take it anymore. I cannot take the way that binge-eating makes me feel. It WILL end up killing me, I'm being honest and I am not overreacting. I'm nearly 23 - only managing to keep at a healthy weight through lots and lots of exercise. I do not want to be one of those people at 50, having binged for the last…

Worried - do I excercise enough for my goal?
A.) I work a full-time sedentary desk job. B.) I bike to/from work 5 times a week. 20-25 minute journey each way. According to my polar heart rate monitor, I burn around 175-200 calories a day biking. My current fitness goals are to work out for around an hour, 4 times a week. My workouts consist of around 40 minutes…

Do you think I can lose 20lb in 13 weeks (3 months)?
Hey there! I'm not a fan of quick-fix diets at all - it's right what they say, if you crash diet, usually the weight goes crashing straight back on again! However, I'm going to Greece in 3 months and I'm 20 pounds away from my final goal. I'm already at a 'healthy' weight (I'm 5' 6 - 137lb) but I've got a chubby layer that…

Progress Update
(Until today) I made it 6 days without binge-eating, which believe me, is GREAT for me. I don't even feel so bad about today because of it! But I think I've made a few discoveries along the week. One, I've been aiming for 2000 calories a day - which is technically maintenance for me - but I haven't made it to 2000 4/7 days…

Stupid celebrity diet schemes...(ruins me!)
Grr! Okay so to cut a long, long story short - I'm currently aiming for 2000 calories a day because I suffer with binge eating, and the biggest way to tackle this is to not deprive myself (too much!) I'm almost certain that I'm losing weight at the moment (20lb to go!) but I get so, so discouraged when I read about…

Dealing with 'unhelpful' friends
Now believe me, I LOVE my friends! - But sometimes they don't half scupper good eating intentions! Scenario 1 My friend came over for dinner and a Game of Thrones marathon a couple nights ago - I text her and told her I'd be cooking something healthful, reasoning that I'd had an indulgent Easter weekend. She told me that…
