In pants? I'm pretty sure I'm a 9, though I wear a small/medium on top, because I've got a massive badonkadonk as my boyfriend kindly points out. I'm 5'6" and weigh 140-145 lbs. That's how people of the same height and weight can fit into different sizes; they might be all muscle, so smaller all around, or they could just gain weight in their chest/stomach before they gain it in their hips/thighs.

Here's what I did when I found myself about to binge on anything.

1. Take one portion of it (doesn't matter if you can't afford it, we're talking a legitimate binge, which would be a bit more destructive. Make sure it's a small portion, too, so you get used to seeing that)
2. Sit down at a table.
3. Take a deep breath and relax.
4. Eat it slowly and try to actually enjoy it. Food really isn't worth beating yourself up over.
5. Sip water in between bites.

It's much, MUCH easier to control yourself to that extent. Even if you do wind up eating a few extra calories now, it's well worth it if this food stops being "forbidden" and having all of those emotional attachments on it. I mean it's just peanut butter, it's not something to be afraid of. It's something to spread on toast.

You are not gay or bi...These are choices that people make either because they are confused or in many cases abused.These choices are more prevelent these days because of Hollywood and others promoting this activity as normal,which it is not.If you have girl parts you are a girl and naturally that means you were created to someday be with a man, built the way he is to be with a girl.

This is the natural order of things and notice the post you have gotten are from those who have made the choice to go against the natural order of things... Misery loves company!!!

Please put this unnatural act out of your mind and be a kid as long as you can without worrying about sexual things.You are to young to make a life changing decision like this.

 

lol

monkeyhippy-- WTF?! Explain those abs right now! Jesus, you're ripped!

Thanks for the input!

I love the forgiveness. But here's most of what I don't like about it:

"When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized God doesn't work that way, so I stole one and prayed for forgiveness."

It's when people try to find loopholes in a place where you just can't. You know what the book means by forgiveness and repentance. You can't just burn down a village of women and children, then look to the sky and go "Whoops, sorry about that" and have everything be hunky-dory. If you don't actually grasp the gravity of what you've done, internalize it, and live that realization as best you can, it doesn't mean anything. Honestly I think it all comes down to trying to live the right way (the details are fuzzy to me, though, but that's another debate all together. Plus, as Christopher Moore says, "Bacon.") meaning with respect for everyone and everything around you as a part of the same larger entity, which here we call God. I think you can see how new scientific discoveries fit into it if you look at it with an open mind, too. My biggest problem has always been heaven and hell. First of all, with the limitless amounts of love and forgiveness it preaches, why would *God* *damn* people to eternal torture just for not understanding? I understand that sin exists because free will exists, but why should one person spend eternity in paradise and the other in suffering when they're both equal? And what if the person recieved the same teachings in the bible from another source; There is only one way to salvation, and any other is wrong? It's not their fault, then. Or do they just have to recognize a sin as a sin to be saved? There's a lot I still don't understand, even after being raised Christian.

I did that diet, lost about 10 lbs., and just like everyone warns you gained it back. It did, however, teach me that all the carbs I've been eating were what was keeping me so hungry. I can feel a really distinct crash even after eating fruit these days. It was a little too extreme for me, but now that I'm on the much less intense South Beach I'm FINALLY seeing results. I really don't know if it's thermogenesis that's doing it, I think it's just because I'm not hungry for once. Plus half of my family has sugar problems, so that's no small part of why it worked for me. Not to mention my mood improved, and that 4 pm "I'm so hungry I could eat the entire vending machine" sensation was gone completely. Which makes sense; you're eating meat, fat, and fiber, you can't get much lower GI.

I remember realizing I was attracted to girls when I was about 12, but raised christian and all, I wound up self-hating and obsessed over guys I would've only been slightly attracted to, because dammit I was NOT going to be gay. These days I'm smitten with both equally, so a lot of good that did me. Looking back it might have been better to have just been honest with myself (or anyone really) like that girl was. Maybe nothing as dramatic as "coming out" at that age, though.

All right, I can understand that. Heck my hip bones start showing at a BMI of 22. But my problem here is that she started at a healthy weight, she's now underweight, and her goal weight is dangerously underweight. She should be either gaining or at the very least maintaining rather than trying to lose even more, and maintaining if she had started fairly thin. Can you honestly say this isn't a problem?

Tempura. Every time it's made in front of me I can't help but have a piece, but it's so darn salty and fatty I forget why I wanted it in the first place.

...Diameter? Wait, do you mean circumference?
