Crisis Management
My family is having a halloween party right now and a lot of junk is served. I ate 1 donut, right now I think I still have an acceptable surplus of calories but I can't have more. How do you resist these evil delights? Btw I'm now obsessing about food in my bedroom. I'm scared if I leave I won't be able to resist.

MFP Activity Level
So I'm updating my goals for MFP and when trying to determine TDEE I was wondering what 'lightly active' actually mean. I (guess) know that BMR is the amount you burn when in coma. For me that is 1800 calories. Now I told MFP to calculate for 0.5 pounds loss / week. I clicked 'lightly active' with no exercise planned. The…

How often do you screw up?
Last week was a catastrophy. I became sick, I was going over my caloric limit and I didn't exercise enough to compensate. Actually, I barely exercised. Today I had a better day and I feel remarkably better. Still no exercise though. I plan to start tommorow. How often do you screw up? Will I be OK?

Family encourages ED. I think.
I still live home because of economical problems with mother and siblings. I told them I want to diet. They said "Go ahead! Finally you're trying to lose weight you fat pig". I started logging. I noticed I didn't eat enough protein. So I ordered whey powder, in secret. My mom found out and she started raging. She told me…

What to do?
I'm at my daily limit of caloric intake but I'm hungry. I'm pretty sure it's physical hunger and not desire. What to do? Go exercise to earn calories? Community says it give the wrong signal. Or just stay hungry and accept I can't eat more? I ate some really fatty meals today and now my body is protesting. Oh what to do?

My heart doesn't beat hard enough
So 2 months ago I started cardio, even on minimal resistance my HR skyrocketed to 170+ (I'm 22, male). Now on max resistance I barely reach 150. But I find max resistance uncomfortable so when I do a regular workout at 75% it drops further to 140. Why is this? I'm asking this because my machine says 139 is 70% of my max hr.

Water fasting
I'm 20 hours fasting only drinking water. Some online source said the hunger is going to disappear. Well it didn't. I feel this pain in my stomach, I can't really explain the feeling. It's like my stomach is bloated en some muscle is punching on it. I'm heavily salivating and I'm burping (not constantly, just like every 30…

Enlighten me please
Recently I got the advice to eat more protein and fiber so i can ditch bread, potatoes, rice and pasta. However I don't know what this means. I really don't. But i want to quit bread. Whenever I try I become paralyzed because I've been eating bread since birth (or so to say). So I ditch bread and become hungry. Then I…

2000 calories feels like torture
I started using MFP for 2 weeks now and I saw a pattern in my diet. Averaged out on a week I eat about 2500 calories per day. Sometimes 2800 when i go junk and then next day i don't feel so hungry so only 2400, but average is 2500. Since exercise shouldn't be punishment I try to eat about 2000 calories, that's my BMR. I'm…
