OCD Eater!! Anyone else??
So, I have OCD. But until more recently I haven’t realized exactly what kind of hold it has on my life, especially my eating habits! I am a compulsive eater, tied very much into my stress and mental wellbeing… which right now are both HORRIBLE! . I’m frustrated because I know that I want to be eating healthy – but then my…

Here we go again!...
Good Afternoon! I am back after an almost two year hiatus. I am in serious need of some Butt Kicking in the food and eating behavior department right now! I had a bit of a nervous breakdown this last fall - bad job, bad life stuff, OCD Explosion and other bad mental heath stuff - and gained over 70lbs! Now I am working…

Why I didn’t buy Bananas…
So I was shopping the other day and went to buy some bananas – however – the Chiquita Banana stickers had been replaced by sticker “ads” for MONKEY BALL for the Wii?!?! WTF! Since when did fruit become a billboard! We also turned down asparagus because it too had an ad – for a movie but I don’t recall which one. Really? We…

Clean Eating - what do YOU count as "clean"
I am very curious to find out what other people consider “clean” eating. For us it is a cut out of as many processed foods as possible - Tahini, lemon juice and broth – when we don’t have time to make it - are some of the only things we buy pre-done. And when we do buy pre-made things we read the label and try not to get…

Question about CMT - no, not Coutry Music Television!
I am just wondering if there are any members out there with Charcot Marie Tooth - apparently it is also called (or similar to?) Hereditary Peripheral Neuropathy. My Partner was diagnosed at around the age of three - from what I understand (and it is not a lot that I know about this) people are not usually diagnosed until…

Last go round it was down to a size 12 and that was an OMG moment, i was about 12 the last time I fit into a size 12 - this go round I…

NOW I'm hungry...
Ok - so my calories before exercise are supposed to be at 1430 - I was barely making 1000 but am working really hard to make at the very least 1200. Over the last few days I have been doing better - but I have been HUNGRY! Normally I eat at my desk during the day - two snacks and my lunch - I was forgetting/getting too…

hmmmm....calories?
Ok, So I have only tracked my food for the last couple of days here online - but I have been keeping a food journal for about 6 weeks. The way I have eaten in the last few days doesnt differ from the last six weeks. But if I am tracking my food correctly - and I think that I am - Then I am not meeting my daily calorie…

Newbie!
I just, just signed up! I have lost alot of weight in the last couple of years - about 160lbs as far as I can guess - I dont actually know exactly how heavy I was at my heaviest. I didnt try to lose this weight - My job required more movement and I started walking to and from. And I changed my relationship with food - I…
