I almost binged...
Hey! So I just ate 3 slices of cake! Yep, cake! I stopped myself from the caloric binge that would soon occur if I did not move on. I am so mad at myself and I only have 300 calories left for the day! This is very out of the ordinary for me to eat cake, much less 3 slices, but... Still! Any suggestions, how do I just get…

"You have a fast metabolism!"- NO! I work HARD.
Hi, In my lifetime I have gone from 140 lbs. to 110 lbs. and fluctuated all in between. I know rest at 124 and am wanting to get back to 115 lbs. However, I do have more muscle and I think I do look better physically, so I am not sure if I would want to lose some of that muscle just to have that number on the scale... Does…

What's in your trashcan?
I recently just started thinking about this as I looked in my trashcan to throw a candy wrapper away ;) It was delicious and enjoyed every bite of it. I then I noticed my protein bar and candy wrappers(s) from the day before. I saw an oatmeal packet and coffee keurig cup, etc. A trashcan really tells a lot about a…

Xanax and weight?
Hi! I know my question is slightly random, but what are some effects on my hunger and weight on Xanax. I recently went on it for anxiety, maybe once a day, maybe one pill every 3-4 days.

Is is TRUE weight gain?
Hi! Just 7 days ago I weighed 1.4 lbs. lighter. Today when I got on the scale I was so mad and upset because I know I did it to myself. I overate/ binged once.

Should I stop?
Maybe I am the only one with this problem, but maybe not, and I would love some input. I have noticed that the more I seem to count calories the more I actually eat, for instance, if I don't have enough room for a cookie I want, I just say screw it and eat a thousand cookies. I know this sounds stupid, but this is really…
