I don't think there is a magic number. When I started dieting I was at about 136 lbs. My first goal was to get below 130, then I wanted to get below 120, then 115, 110.. I was totally addicted to seeing the number on the scale go down and it went all the way down to 98 and I was never happy at any number. Now I am back to like 115 and I am really, really unhappy with this number. So yeah I really don't have an answer for you but its a good question and I will check back later, I hope someone else has some good advice. |

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I feel like I shouldn't even be in this community. I have been binging non stop for like a whole week now. |

Is it too late to join this challenge? I NEED to stop binging, it has completely taken over my life. I'm trying to recover from an ED and I did great last week.. I was really, really proud of myself, ate normal meals, didn't starve. didn't overeat or purge or anythig and even had some snack and desserts and stuff with everybody else. Well, anyways I lost 4 pounds last week and then I binged and gained it all back in ONE day =( And that started the whole cycle over again.. yesterday I did it and then I did it again today. =( I know right before the holidays probably isn't the best time to join but I really, really need to stop this. So I guess my plan is to try to eat healthy, small normal meals tomorrow, NOT BINGE and not starve and then to not go crazy and try and enjoy thanksgiving and not worry about calories or weight or anything like that. Anyways, good luck to everyone else here, hope your all having a good week so far. =) |

Hi. I'm in the same boat as you tho I am a little older than you are. I'm 22, 5'0 3/4" and my weight is currently 113. And like you, I got up to this weight from binging. I was down to 98 pounds from a combo of dieting and an eating disorder, and for the past couple of weeks I have been binging non stop. Even after I get on the scale and see that my weight is higher than I want it to be I just keep doing it, I literally can not stop. I have gotten into this situation a couple of times and I found out the reason for me is malnutrition and starving or having too restrictive of a diet. For me, the only thing that seems to work is making sure I have 3 proper, healthy meals a day. Eating often enough tends to make the desire to binge go away, and I remind myself how awful I feel after a day of binging (and for me, purging) and how good I feel after a day of eating healthy and not overeating. I also stay away from any kind of sweets or junk food as I found out that even a small bite of these kinds of foods can trigger a binge. Good luck! |

Every day I tell myself OK I'm not going to binge today, I'm going to eat normally, and then every day I **** it up and end up binging like CRAZY. Like today for example, well, I didn't eat anything untill like 4 in the afternoon I know thats part of the problem. Anyways I had like left over thanksgiving dinner, 2 helpings of stuffing with gravy, squash, cabbage salad, beans, a couple muffins, apple pie.. THEN i went over to my grandma's for dinner, had salad and a spoonful of mac n cheese, then later I had some popcorn at my house.. then i went out with my bf for food and had like mozzarella stix, shrimp, french fries at like midnight. Now I am telling myself again that today I will not binge, will eat normally, I doubt I'll be able to do it. 
Will I lose weight if I eat the same food over and over?
You can lose weight despite eating the same food day-after-day as long as you eat fewer calories than you burn. In fact, eating the... Read more
