Ht. 5'4", Start: 155 lb, Today: 150 lb (BMI %tile: 92), Goal: 105 lb - Patty isn't my real name but everything else is true I didn't put my real name because this is kinda emmbearsing to say but it seems like every time I try to start a diet I start off like really good in the beginning then at night it's recked and I eat like everything I see. Then the next day I say "yeah today I am starting" then I never do :( I even tried telling my self to eat four pices of fruit a day and water and nothing else but it nevers works and I get so MAD AT MYSELF. Because everyone around me are super skinny and are like in a modeling agency and stuff

Hey I'm Taya welcome to the site! No need to be embarrassed everyone here is super supportive and we all have those times when we eat something we had no business eating , but we keep on going. I read the part that said you were only going to eat 4 pieces of fruit and water , that's not really healthy. (it's kinda starving yourself) just stay motivated and I promise you can do it . Anyways if you ever need to talk we are all here for you :)

Ht. 5'5", Start: 150 lb, Today: 135 lb (BMI %tile: 78), Goal: 125 lb - Heyy...ahh well i was never really 150 lbs..its just it keeps telling me im not overweight hah. which, i dont think i am, i'm just not...skinny. Yeah know? I do NOT look good in a bikini :/ Just quick question for you all, how many sweets do you have a day/week? I'm pretty good about not eating many sweets, but when I do, I start freaking out on myself & wanting to throw it up or run for like MILES to burn it off. Just need some reassurance before I end up with bulemia :/

Emma, please dont go bulemia, that is the worst thing to do. You will end up in the hospital and end up useing tube, so please calm down it ok to eat candy once in a while!! I dont eat the whole thing eat half of it, and save the other half for later or the next day, 125 pounds is a great weight goal for your hight, dont give up!! the sugar free candy is good as the regualr kind.. Not a good idea to go bulemia, that is very sceary,, just relax and just counte the excriseing try jump ropeing!!! or walk the dog..

Ht. 5'3", Start: 152 lb, Today: 389 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - Hey, I havent posted in a while. Bad news. :( I gained even more weight.I tried to listen to all the advice people have been giving me, but I cant help myself. When my parents are around, I am good about not eating too much. Last time i posted I told about when I went to the doctor, and my Mom told me how gross it is that I am so big. Ever since then my Mom has been watching me when she's around, but whenever she's gone, I binge like crazy. Most of my friends have cars, and are also overweight, so we go to mc donalds or burger king and eat, and we eat so much more than we should. my friends arent as big as i am and when they cant finish their food I finish it for them, even if it makes me want to throw up. I cant stop putting on this weight, and I honestly don't even know what to do anymore.

I am sorry to hear that, Kathy, you are pretty no matter what. Dont be discourged, I have this tip I use when I am about to binge, it really works, when there is food your friends dont finsh it throw it away in garbage,, I know what it was like to be having binge issuess, I am the same hight as you, I am also 5'3 I do running outside when I feel this crazy binge habit coming back, I say no until it stops.. I would make a goal, if you go to a asument park and cant go on rides, you can have the rides encouege you to lose weight, that way when you go there and you feel lighter and lost a lot of weight do a fun actitvy, draw your favorite that you want to waer on a peace of paper. Before you binge when you are alone, dancing is fun to thing do, turn on your cd player, and just dance around in your room. It works I have lost some weight doing this.. Just keep doing it, that helped stay away... (view more)I am sorry to hear that, Kathy, you are pretty no matter what.

Just keep doing it, that helped stay away from the kintchen and the food. I do nailploish on toes sometimes, pamper yourself in a bath put bubble bath, it is a fun thing to get rid of your bordness. Out, ride a bike, do walking, slow running, jump rop, jumping jacks, strechs, excriseing is a fun to do..
I hope I have helped. (view less)

Ht. 5'4", Start: 227 lb, Today: 227 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Its horrible, Ive been doing horrible with eating. I just about about 800 cals worth of multi grain cheerios- not counting the milk. Yes i ate most of the box. I was so bored that i couldn't stop, i also binged on some girl scout cookies and 6 cheese sticks. I don't know what to do, and as hard as i try to push the water i can't get past 6 cups of water, it just starts to make my tummy bloated and hurt. Is that bad? Do you guys think i will be able to drink more as time comes? I sure hope so. I aso havent lost anything, which i expected, but im just so disapointed in myself.

Print out the no pig out poster from this web and put up on your fidge that will be a guide to help not bigne... I quited doing that 3 mounths a go.... I know was it like to binge.. That is a horrible habit I told myself that is a bad habit to binge... I just stay out of the kitchen until I have to set up the table and also when dinner is reday.

I compleatly understand how you feel.Do what I did.If you crave for some type of junk food(like pizza for me)buy it and eat it,better yet overeat till you feel sick.Then wrote how you felt after.I myself felt sick,guilty,worthless and fat.Kinda harsh,but it works.Every time you crave for junk,just read what you wrote.You will remember that bad feeling and go for fruit instead.And drink lots of water.And eat very slow.It takes brain to register 20 min to tell you you are full.And eat fist size miles.Your stomach is only the size of your fist :) Best wishes

Ht. 5'4", Start: 210 lb, Today: 176 lb, Goal: 140 lb - UGH...I just had a very disgusting binge. I ate everything like--everything. Usually this happens when no one is home, so I hate it when someone leaves. When I'm alone I feel like I have so much more freedom and I can't control myself--and then I go off binging. I had a bad binge last night too. What is going on with me? I feel so full, it hurts. I usually eat a lot when something is boterhing me (emotional eater,you guessed it)...but lately what's been bothering me is the fact that I'M NOT LOSING WEIGHT. DOes this make any sense? and then I jsut start eating. It should open my eyes and tell me that I need to work harder but I end up doing the opposite. I don't know what to do with myself. I'm a hopeless disaster. It's already July. Is my goal still reachable? I think not. At the rate I'm going. I just feel really bad. I even cried today cause I couldn't take the way I looked. The way nothing seems to be changing. The way I feel when I sit and my stomach folds and how I have to adjust my shirt all the time. This is not the life I want. It's not and I'm don't mean to get sappy with all this but it's true. I'm so tired of feeling like wreckage everyday. I'll never be happy if I don't lose weight. Ever. Why am I so unlucky? all I want to be is healthy. All I want to do is love my reflection. That's all I want.

Your post reminds me exactly of how I feel. I hate how my lovehandles and potbelly bubble out when I sit and I have to fix my shirt, just like you. I hate my thighs and legs and alot of things. But I recently joined the gym and I've seen slight improvements. My sister has been hitting the elyptical everyday and she's looking so much thinner and beautiful. Please don't give up hope. When you're home alone and feel the need to binge, just tell yourself NO. I know it sounds stupid and unreliable, but I swear it will work. Set out some carrots or fruit for yourself and a bottle of water, and maybe some raisin bran or something healthy and filling. Only allow yourself to eat these things but NOTHING else. Water is extremely filling and will not let you down. Instead of bingeing while you're home alone, take advantage of the time and do a workout video or an excersize routine without distractions. You can pull through it. Also, keep a log of everything you eat in a day, and I swear you will immediately see what you're doing wrong. Good luck! :)

Hey this is Rachael, I replied to your other message. I was reading somebody else's reply on your message, and it made me realize the stupidity of my comment. You don't have control over a binge, especially if you have BED(binge eating disorder). I should know---I have had major binges, sometimes 2-5 times a week, adding up to around 4000 calories! The best thing to do, like that other person said, is keep junk food out of the house. Stock up on healthy foods that you like the taste of. Find something that you enjoy doing, such as drawing, reading, painting, etc. I binge when I am feeling worthless, or bored, hopeless, etc. If you find something to do that you can take pride in, and makes you feel fulfilled, you may be less likely to binge. It may sound stupid, but that's what works for me. I'm sorry for misunderstanding you and everything--so...I just thought I would post this and straighten things out.And if the binging continues like this, then I would recomend getting help. Binging eating disorder is just as serious as anorexia or bulimia, and you shouldn't overlook it.

hey guys...i read a post that said that listening to happy and motivatonal (happy and motivational being the keywords here) produces the same effects as relieving a food craving as well, food does. First before i go any farther, understand that putting your favorite song on isn't going to make you not hungry, but it will help curb the CRAVINGS that you have for a type, or many types for that matter, of food. So when any of you feel like binging, just turn on your favorite song and know that it will help produce the same calming and realsing effect many of us experience when we give into our craving...except this time...NO GUILT!

When I was younger (9-15 yrs) I was overweight. I was 5 feet and 180lbs at my heaviest. I was teased very much in those years, and the harsh comments not only motivated me to lose weight, but also to obtain 2 eating disorders. Anorexia and bulimia. 104 was my lowest weight and I was hospitalized twice for 6 weeks each time. Why am I telling you this? Because I have noticed that some of the postings and replys have had some very unhealthy suggestions. I have fought for over 3 years to get rid of this disease (I am no longer bulimic though) and finally after what has seemed like an eternity of endless battles I am at my goal weight and trying to stay healthy. I just want all of you to be careful. It was the most horrible experience of my life.

I just want all of you to be careful. It was the most horrible experience of my life. I actually had to move out of my parents house a while ago because it had put such an emotional strain on all of us. I also lost my friends, had to redo courses in school(do you know how embarrasing it is to be the only gr.11 in a gr. 9 class?), lost my boyfriend of 2 years and possiby did damage to my internal organs which can't be detected yet. PLEASE to all of you ho read this sight... Don't waste your life focusing on weight. It is good to want to be healthy but not at such a cost. Be sensible... some of these suggestions are a little unreal. To be sure about weight loss, talk to your doctor first and have them refer you to a dietician. Then, on your own time, talk to a gym teacher at school about programs they might have, like a weight club or something a litle more one on one and focused on getting in shape, rather then a sports team where the other students are atheletes and have great experience. That will be discouraging. Or, buy a pass to a gym and possibly set up an appointment for a personal trainer. Home workout videos are good too. Please be careful with weight, it could have a major negitive impact on your life. Good luck everyone! (view less)

I am not overweight, even though i look at myself in the mirror and see fat.... i am an anorexic boy, i have always thought that weight loss would make me happy, that if i was skinny i would be good looking, I have been told that i have lost too much weight, but i dont believe it... some times i feel like i just waant to fast, but i am not going to do that as it can result weight gain. i understand that my story may be different to other peoples stories which have been posted on this site, and in some cases the complete opposite---- i just want to say that this problem that i have is so hard, i just want to warn people not to take this road, as it just leads to a dead end- but i just want to hear other peoples opinions on my problem. thanks

Hey everyone, I'm new here and I know this sounds illogical to all but on one hand I'd like to lose about 15 pounds, yet I'm trying self help for my bulimia. A friend of mine (let's call him J) is helping me with my bulimia and promised me a really hot top if I stop my habit for a week but I don't want to gain weight. Anyone knows anything about healthy NORMAL eating? Thanks.

learn hopw many cal.s you burn in a day at caloriesperhour.com and eat less cal.s then you burn and eat healthy foods. exersize too. and i wish you very good luck over your bulemia because it's a very bad way to die. rotting esaphaguses(sp) aren't pleasant i'm sure.
