but it still doesnt make sense that a poached egg would have less than a boiled egg..... 

Original Post by meowphotog:

when I was 18 I weighed between 107-110 now I am 120, but I am ten times healthier than I was at 18 and much more muscular.

 me too!!  i was 108-111 at age 18 and now i'm 122.  close enough haha.  i feel healthier now too (never used to eat fruits and veg, now i do) and much more muscular but i'm definitely bigger than i was then.  used to be 0/2, now i'm a perfect 4.  

nevertheless, i'd love to get back down to 111!   

thanks for posting this, its so good to hear that it gets easier.  i gave up snacking and wow, i was so hungry at first, but now i'm starting to get used to eating three balanced, healthy meals a day instead of grazing on peanut butter and cookies and whatever i feel like all day long!!!!  your body DOES adjust after a while as long as you are treating it well (took bout a week in my case).  thank goodness!! 

i did almost the same exact thing yesterday.  you know the big bags of m&ms, that are supposed to go in a candy jar and last a couple of weeks, well i ate a whole one yesterday.  1,600 calories.  i've got you beat.  today i am trying to eat as healthy as possible to make up for it.  i am makeing a "quota" of veg and fruits and other healthy things that i have to eat today.  hoping if i do that, then i will not want to eat more candy and such.  also, lots of green tea!!

i don't know about you, but when i started eating those m&ms i got into some kind of a "zone" where i could NOT stop eating them.  i didn't even want to keep eating, i didn't realize what i was doing, like i was half asleep if that makes sense. yuck. 

so just know you're not the only one!!  take it one day at a time.....  don't let it get you down and learn from your mistake. 

hi jay, well it seems we are in the same situation!  i'm 5'2, 125 and trying to get down to 117 or so by the end of january.  maybe we can help keep each other on track.....share our weigh-ins, etc.  how often do you weigh?  i weigh every morning and was elated to be down to 125.5 today after being stuck in the 126 range!!! 

hi, i know this is super late but....just wondering if you accomplished your goal of 110? i am in the same boat as you were, 5'3", 125 pounds.  my long term goal is 110, once i've reached my first goal of 124 (so close!)

anyway, just curious to see how you did.  hope it worked out for you!!  (:

I've been there too.  College was a truly hard time for me because i didn't know how to make friends or talk to people.  everything embarrassed me; even sitting in class i would be stressed beause i felt that all eyes were on me.  this is when i started binge eating...... i'd try to eat with other kids in the caf but end up feeling so embarrassed that i'd go home and eat 5 million m&ms. 

looking back i wish i had gotten treatment.  i really encourage you to try to tell someone you can open up to (i realize it is so ironic that you have to speak up and confide your feelings in order to get treatment for SAD.  hello, the definition of the disorder is that you have a really hard time with that!).  if there is someone you feel comfortable talking about it to though, they can call a doctor and make you an appt. 

 i've managed to "grow out" of the worst of it, but i look back on college and high school with regret because i missed out on so much.  it's totally fine that you're not a social butterfly, but if this is making you miserable, that is not ok.  i think treatment will help you find a happy medium. 

Hi everyone,

I don't know if anyone will see this three months later.  Just wanted to let you guysy know i started a new group, "kicking the sugar habit."

I am on my 4th day sugar-free and very intersted by what you all said here.  Have you kept it up since August?

Please join my group if you're interested! 

I agree that it's possible to exercise too much.  I have been there too---started to exercise to get in shape, but it just upped my appetite and I ended up gaining weight.  I would take a couple days off from working out, as hard as that might be.  Don't feel fat because you're not exercising!  Try to get in touch with your hunger when youare not exercising, see how much you need then.....

It's also possible to feel like it's OK to eat more after working out.  Don't know if this applies to you, but it's something else tothink about! 

anyone?  anyone? 

OMG you just described perfectly gi-jan!  perfectionist who would rather suck completely than just be mediocre. i either eat perfectly or binge . . . i either made an A+ or decided not to give a crap and make a low B in school.

This will be a good think to think about-----thanks! 

GDB, I think we are twins!  I'm also 5'3, around 120, size 4 in jeans and 34/25/36.  If you want to be a size 2, go to Express.  It's true, they are larger, it's the only store where i wear a 2!!!!!
