HELP WITH CRAVINGS? Not weight loss related?
Hey all! So lately, my cravings have been INSANE. (Background info, I used to suffer from orthorexia, which is an obsession with eating healthy- I hadn't had cake in years- not even on my birthday! I've gotten better recently, but it's still a struggle). Over the last few days, however, I've been tossing my usual (nut and…

Sugar Detoxing?
So I'm on the fourth day of cutting excess sugar out of my diet. I realized I was previously eating a lot of foods like special K in the morning, honey on fruit for snacks and sugary yogurts for dessert, and it was worrying me, so I decided to cut out all extra sweeteners and sugars (slowly getting rid of all the sugar…

Was this a bad binge? Help?
So I have a tendency to binge sometimes... I've always had a little trouble controlling myself around food sometimes. Today I said no to a big slice of fatty, packaged apple pie.... then I came home and made myself a mini apple pie with a whole apple, cinnamon, wheat germ and a little honey.... which started my second…

Why are people so judgey here?
Every time I make a topic, there's always a few people who are very on topic and pleasant, and then the other half of the people go completely off topic judging my diet and the things I say in my topics. What gives? Everyone here thinks they are nutritionists apparently, and that I hired them! Haha, no, but some of you are…

Do you have a "thinspration" person?
I use different things in my life to keep myself healthy and motivated... but sometimes when those motivations start to feel a little overused, or maybe it just happens by chance, I'll find a new "thinspiration"... now, I'm not big on depriving yourself or hating your body, but sometimes I just need a reminder of why I…

Starting off with my intro post: Peanut Butter!
This is just me giving you my story- and how I'm trying to change my binges. It's a little late, so I'll have to add more to this later, but the general problem I have with food right now is: Everyday for the past few weeks (I'm on break from school right now, so I'm just sitting at home with easy access to the kitchen!)…

Trigger Food "Therapy": Let's Make a Support Group!
I'm thinking of starting a group for people who have massive trigger foods and binge episodes, like me. For me, I have a problem with nut butters that is just out of control! Since I just finished off the last of the peanut butter and tossed the jar in the trash, I figured it was the perfect time to start some Trigger…

Group Rules :)
1. No shaming other people for their trigger foods- for example, "What? Carrots aren't a binge food, they're healthy!" would be shaming! Please refrain, this is a support group :) 2. Please try to be active in the group, for your own sake- keeping binges under control can be hard, but posting here can help motivate you! 3.…

I couldn't stop myself, once again.
So I've noticed every day I eat too much nut butter... it's a problem. I had a really stressful day at work today, and when I got home... finished off the almond butter :( And just about ten minutes ago... I feel so embarrassed and ashamed of myself... I ate 1.5 bars of Hershey's chocolate... and I don't know what's worse,…

Question about weight/fat loss?
So I've been eating healthier and exercising more for a couple months now... at first I dropped like 10 pounds rather rapidly, and now I haven't seem to have lost any more weight, I've stopped seeing a difference in my body. I don't want to lose much more weight, I'm already 94 pounds, but I still have a lot of fat in my…

Your Trigger Foods
So my binge today helped me realize a bit more about myself.. especially what foods trigger a binge for me! (I'm not bulimic, I do suffer from uncontrollable binges from time to time though). Mine so far seem to be: Peanut butter, almond butter (kinda) and honey. Once I put a little honey on something, I start eating it by…
