haha dont even worry about it.

i gained about five pounds over summer and the start of the school year, and just two weeks ago my boyfriend told me that he finds me less physically attractive than he did when we first started dating (when I was.. um.. 14?).

So yeah. i'm 17 now, and 122, and my boyfriend thinks I need to lose about 10 pounds.

i'm aiming for 15, but that's a different story.

the point is, guys are jackasses about how girls should look, because they are used to the media's portrayal of what "sexy" looks like. But as long as you're happy with your own body and your own weight, it doesnt matter what they think. (:

congrats on getting over your ED!

mmm

its only a LITTLE disgusting, now that I think about it =\

i've had.. 2 chocolate sandwich cookies (kinda like ritz w/ chocolate creme in the middle), two small litchi hard candies, a fun sized bag of skittles, a fun sized bag of peanut m&ms,  half of a regular sized baby ruth, 0.7 of a regular sized butterfingers, a beard papa's creme puff (havent had them since March! joyyyy!!!!), and a medium sized taro milk tea with boba.

probably more sugar in one day than I've had in the last four months combined.

yet.. no guilt o.o

well if i only eat a few its okay. its when the grapes are REALLY REALLY sweet and I eat a couple handfuls then  I start getting sick..

happens with frosting too, which is why I scrape frosting off cake o.o

rawrg i hate how inaccurate my scale is >[ its always off by like...1 or 2 pounds so i never know exactly how heavy i am =X

but it SEEM as though i've lost weight? idk :( i dunno if menstrual bloating changes my weight..

haha thanks for all the advice and encouragement, guys! I actually (kinda embarassed here) never thought about it from that perspective, and now that ya'll mention it, it makes a lot of sense. So i had a talk with my boy yesterday, and besides giving me a lot of tips from his physiological science class on what stuff is healthy, and telling me where I should be eating on campus next month (i'm going to college! whooppee!!!) he agreed to stop offering me goodies, and occasionally go with me to the gym!

so thanks for all the advice, everyone! it really helped a lot XP

I'm not sure I'd be hte best person to answer, but i'll do the best i can.

No, its not possible to lose 2 pounds overnight. What you saw was probably either a loss in water weight, or the difference in the amount of food you ate. Thats why some people choose to weigh themselves weekly, or, if they weigh daily, only take their weight on one chosen day per week seriously. This way, the small daily fluctuations don't phase them as much, and they see an overall change rather than daily changes in water weight / food weight, etc.

I'm doing basically the same routine you are- doing cardio 30-60 minutes every day or two, and consuming 1400 calories, and so far i've lost about 3-4 pounds, so it seems like a legit diet to me. The problem about decreasing your intake is that once you start maintaining your weight (Rather than trying to lose it) you have to make SURE you're eating only what you're burning, and not trying to go back to your eating habits from before. The reason you gain back weight easily is becasue your body gets used to you eating less, and all of a sudden if you start eating a lot more, but burning the same amount as before, the extra calories start adding up.  So yeah. the most important thing after reaching your goal is maintainance, and keeping a healthy lifestyle.

Hopefully i helped! sorry if my sentences are kind of wack.. i just got back from the gym and i'm SLIGhtly lightheaded =d

keep your head up :) i know exactly how you feel. I was 118 yesterday morning, and all of a sudden this morning i was 120. I bombed this enTIRE week (ate out literally 5 days this week, since sunday) so dont feel too bad :) even if you mess one meal up, it won't be enough to set you back that much. Just keep your chin up, stare down that chocolate truffle cake, and turn the other cheek. No worries, you can do it XP

Besides, think on the bright side! If you hadnt had those six or seven chips, you might have cracked in a few days, and ate an entire order (not to belittle your self-control or anything. i'm just saying what I probably would have done LOL). and we both know an entire order of nachos is much more catastrophic than six or seven chips.

I hope you feel better! Remember, some indulgence every now and then will actualy HELP you stick to your diet. Just everything in moderation. I'm glad you only took six chips =)

keep up the good work! i'm rooting for ya XP

Heyy! I'm angie and I totally know waht you mean. I'm gonna be a college freshman in september too, and i'm SOO worried about the freshman fifteen. I just started watching what i eat like THIS month, and it took AGES to drop 2 pounds (i'm working at it! :( ) so hopefully i dont eat it back like. the first week haha

But if you need anyone to talk to, I'm here like literally 24/7. I'm pretty bad with portion control too, although for the most part, i think i make healthy choices =d

nice to meet you! good luck in college! XP
