i do the same! i wont feel hungry but ill think "what is something good to eat in the kitchen right now?" or "what can i snack on?" ill snack on healthy food but if i know i got some kind of candy or treat like that ill eat it right away! thats y i dont keep that stuff in my apt. and i have a rule for myself to not accept anyones extra offers of food, candy, treats, etc especially if im not hungry!

i met my husband at work we are both in the air force as cops. he came to my flight and we flirted and started to hang out, then that moved on to a relationship. i got orders to germany and had to leave, but we stayed together and survived a long distance relationship that lasted 9 months! ( i was deployed to kuwait during those 9 months too) it was so difficult but we made it through and it made us stronger! now we are happily married for 2 years...

its a risk some take and thats what we did, i think if you have a strong connection with that person you dont even think of the bad possibilities that can happen within work. love is more important

my legs cuz theyre slim and slightly muscular, my lips cuz they r juicy lol, and my butt cuz its not too big not too small.

Hey, im 5'8 or maybe 5'7 or somewhere in between...I'm 120 lb.  Nah im not anorexic I pack food down aye.  People think that only big people get discriminated against.  At least people dont tell ya your too fat to your face.  People tell me all the time that I don't eat enough, even though they have no idea what I eat.  People tell me I am anorexic, too skinny etc.  Man it just aint fair aye.  I used to eat until I was overly full to prove to people that I am not anorexic but now I just don't care what people think.  Even now I eat more than the average person.  Ah well its life I guess!  Don't judge us skinny folk though aye cuz its not nice on us.  Some of us don't chose to be skinny.  The lowest weight I have been is around 110lb but I wasnt eating that well cuz I was constipated so yeah.  The highest about 127lb another time I was constipated then I went poos and I was back down to 110lb.  weird aye!!!

 are you from canada aye? lol. im not sure why anyone would admit they were constipated... but maybe your high or something, aye!!!

i love running because

its the best excercise, i like listening to music and letting my mind wander, i feel great during and afterwards, i feel stronger, it makes my legs and bum look fantastic, it burns more calories than any other excercise (in my opinion), its easy, its free, and fun!

p.s.

i only like running outside  treadmill is too boring

um in no way am i thinking of smoking to lose weight OR just to start smoking in general. i was just curious cuz in so many movies i see thin women smoking constantly and even out in public.

i know its harmful and i would never want my husband or family to have to suffer through my second hand smoke. my mom is a smoker and was since i was a kid, I HATED IT. it stunk. and i didnt even know the health damages it caused when i was younger.

but now i know and ill never do it!

Ever since high school at least I can remember these episodes ... while babysitting at other's houses I'd totally raid their pantry/fridge, I sneak bites of things in the dark kitchen when my hisband isn't paying attention, when younger and still living with paretns, I would wait till they went to sleep then raid hte cupboards ... and yes all of this happens mostly at night, but not always.

 

So what is this behavior doing for me?  What am I "gaining" from this?  Why am I sabotaging my success?????

 

Please let's keep talking becasue I am seriously looking for answers.  I've tried finding a therapist around the Atlanta area who specializes not just in eating disorders, but in over/compulsive eating.  Guess what?  Unless your anorexic or bulimic, apparently you don't have an eating disorder.

 

 

 i did that too! when i babysat my neice and nephew my sis had a cuboard full of candies and cookies etc and she would be like "help yourself!" and as soon as she left i would ravage through it....

i really think i do it because i dont want people to think "what a fat ass! eating junkfood!"

i dont do it as much now. now i think that i have more self control because i am more carefree about what people think of me. and if its only once in awhile thats not bad at all!

i think that if you hide what you eat to me that is an eating disorder!

um im married too and i am on the pill.  like a day after i got off the P me and my husband had sex and i missed a day of the white pill so i think your ok. i BELEIVE it takes a couple days for the pill not to work anymore, im not completely sure... but anyway, i have had a few scares occassionally and really thought i was pregnant! it was either my boobs were feeling tender, or i had a weird ache in my stomach, etc but they were all false alarms. i think i just exagerated what my body was feeling and got paranoid.

maybe what your feeling is from going off the pills? give it awhile and take a pregnancy test, thats what i do if im really paranoid! lol

hope this helps.

i like weighing myself when i wake up, i beleive this is your true weight because there is not really any water or food weighing you down (which can be 2-5 lbs!)

i like checking every week or so, this way if i gained a couple i can decide if i should take it easy on the snacks or not lol

im a shy person and for it usually peoples first impression of me is "stuck up" its not that i think im too good to talk to people! its just that i dont know what to say, i think too much like : i dont want to offend this person, i dont want to come off in the wrong way, i dont want them thinking im weird or dumb or mean... etc etc. if someone talks to me unexpectedly i usually turn red and blush bad! lol

but i dont think im doomed for confidence, i am who i am and eventhough i dont approach people first doesnt mean i wont put in the effort to get to know them. i love meeting new people!

i have tried diet pills, which just made me nauseous

i forgot what exactly it was called but it said on the label "lose ten pounds in two days!" or something like that and it basically was a liquid diet (thats all you had for 2 days)

starving myself which worked until i gave in and ate whatever and gained back weight

bingeing and purging which is just disgusting and made me feel horrible

laxitives

and now i just eat healthy most the time but allow myself to eat junk food when i feel like i really want it. and i exercise. which works!

where do you live? maybe you can do something out of the ordinary or adventurous like hiking, indoor rock climbing, snowboarding...  or you can get a hotel room somewhere nice (kind of chessy) but my b/f (now husband) suprised me by taking my to a nice hotel after dinner it had a pool and a huge bathtub in the room and we had some drinks and hung out for awhile, and *other things*  lol. it was fun and different!

my cheat day consists of no calorie counting because once i see how many calories is in what i splurged on i will feel GUILTY which sort of defeats the purpose... i will just pick something that i am craving at the moment and eat it without remorse or fear of gaining weight! if you eat well most of the time theres no problem with eating something unhealthy every once in awhile...

it can also be candy, icecream or a dessert after dinner,  pizza or a dish from a restauraunt. and even all of it!

i work constantly with dudes and i would say size matters to most. if they would see an overweight chic they would make fun of her. its cruel! i try not to judge but i do prefer a "type" of guy: tall and muscular and white too! with blue eyes... lol

i think size matters to an extent, once you get to know a person then you can change your mind totally about them!

Careful. After 2 children my wife is 5'10, 120lbs without dieting or excersing, she just happens to be a natural size 0, that's just her body type and the state to which her body reverts.

She is almost three months pregnant with our third and she's up to 130.

Both my little girls are like their momma. Tall and skinny. The oldest will be 3 next month and she's already 40 inches tall.

So before you start labeling these gals, recognize that it may just be genetics.

 

 ok, thats why i said "im thinkin its just her body type" because i have known girls to be super tall and skinny without trying... so before you think im "labeling these gals", read my post more carefully!
