Because he comments on both your healthy eating and your not-so-healthy eating I suspect he's the one with the issue. He either has issues with his own eating habits or he's immaturely trying to hit on you.
Feel free to vary them as needed. |

You don't say how much you eat during a normal day, calories I mean. Your binging may be because you don't eat enough, or don't eat enough of the right foods and you overcompensate by eating a lot in a short time. Have you tried writing down everything you eat to see how much you're really eating? I don't know much about how a vegetarian gets enough protein but that's something that might help. If you're dropping the cheese and the peanut butter be sure your getting protein from somewhere else. You also don't say what the event was in October but I'm guessing you've been affected emotionally and you probably are eating for comfort - you may just not realize it. Perhaps there's someone you can talk to about the event (professional or otherwise) to help you work through it. You may not even think there's anything to work through but I suspect there is. Even if the event is not a trigger, your obvious fear about your eating habits is concerning. Trust yourself. If your scared there may be good reason to be. Get a checkup including blood tests to rule out a physical cause. See a nutritionist. And definitely talk to someone. Good luck and let me know how it works out.

I agree you shouldn't confront her. Set an example. Help her if she asks but don't push it. One thing that struck me is you called her a lazy bum. While that may be true, its more likely she has something else going on. She may have low self-esteem and/or depression. She may be jealous and resentful of you. She may have no control over anything in her life except what she eats so she's going to eat what she wants. No one is going to tell her what she should or shouldn't put in her mouth! I know these things because I used to be the same way. I started to see a counselor and that helped. One other thing that helped - I was diagnosed with ADD - at 43!. I know, you're saying to yourself "what that does that have to do with anything?" Adults with ADD are often called lazy. They may do very well in school (I got nearly all A's). They may do very well in a career (I am). But its because they've developed coping skills. Not all ADD people are hyperactive. I NEVER would have guessed I had it but getting that diagnosed and taking care of it has changed my world. Nobody calls me lazy anymore. |

I have had a lot of the same problems. I have PCOS. My blood sugars are ok but I still have it so it still causes weight problems. If you're periods are irregular, you have pain during intercourse, or some other symptoms you may still have PCOS. Even if your blood sugars and/or insulin are fine. Talk to your gynecologist or endocrinologist. Also, get the actual numbers for your thyroid tests and get a second or third opinion. When I had mine tested, the doctors all said I was fine. However, when I changed doctors, she said that yes I was in the normal range but I was in the very low normal range and given my other symptoms (cold all the time, tiredness, dry skin) she put me on a low dose of thyroid meds. I lost 6 pounds the first week. I had energy and was not cold all the time. The weight loss has evened out but I feel so much better. You may need to find a different doctor who will be willing to try some things. Being the in the normal range isn't normal for everyone. Its your body. If you're truly honest with yourself about your eating and activity and are still not losing weight, keep fighting for yourself. Its worth it. |

I wonder if the date keeps shifting based on you entered weight loss, not on the calories and activities. Are you entering your weight? |

I agree you should talk to him. If you don't feel comfortable doing that or it doesn't work here are some suggested replies when he's rude:
Good luck!
