| you can get extra light philadelphia cream cheese, if you get it in the little individual pack things then its 31 calories each and ensures you don't eat too much that way! it tastes really good! cottage cheese is yummy to and pretty low fat! | |||

| Im 5' 3 and 112 pounds...i used to be 154 though, and i looked terrible, unfortunatly being short means that every pound counts!! its a bummer. My weight is all over really..my ass, my stomach and my boobs are my worst parts, cuz it seems that is where all the weight goes, although i ahve lost alot off of my boobs and bum thankfully. My stomach though is a losing battle...it is never flat!! | |||

| Foods | question about oatmeal | Feb 24 2007 15:01 (UTC) |

| oatmeal is really good for you, but be careful as oats are reallly high in calories. I absolutely love it, and was addicted for a while, i even eat rolled oats on there own sometimes, mixed with raisins it tastes yummy, its like making your own muesli. I think it is a bit addictive though, as i tend to binge on it sometimes..but i think it is better to eat something like that for a snack than chocolate or something. | |||

| Im so far away from my wagon i can't even see it anymore. I'd like to try and find it again, but im not sure its' gunna happen as i have just finished a very large binge...started the day off well, managed one bowl of porridge instead of the usual 5 (my binges normally occur at breakfast)...then went to the gym came back feeling good and healthy..what happened? i thought ill have a bit of low fat yoghurt, which tuned into a cereal bar, half a box of cereal, 3 slices of bread and a bag of raisins..i think? i ate so much im not sure i can even remember what it was i put into my mouth, and now i am sitting here thinking why???? | |||

| Reading all your posts makes me feel so much better, because at least we can all feel comforted by the fact that we aren't the only ones that feel like this.
I am a terrible binger, i know why i do it, and what sets it off, but it still doesn't stop me from doing it. It is like something takes over my body and i can't think about anything but eating as much as i possibly can. Ive tried drinking water, having healthy snacks but i always some how manage to find something that i can eat loads of, why can't i just stop at one bowl of cereal? or two slices of bread? Well today at least han't been as bad, after about a week of very bad bingeing i have tried to make a conscious decision not to binge, but i am struggling...i started on a box of cereal earlier, but managed to stop myself before it got to out of control. It is just to difficult.. |

| Motivation | I just pigged out tonight | Feb 20 2007 20:40 (UTC) |
|
| I know how u feel, i have had the exact same day. I worked out this morning, and then came home telling myself i was gunna have a good day. it didn't happen. I majorly pigged out, i got bored sat at home and ended up eating a whole box of cereal and loads of bread and just generally picked on everything. I always seem to feel soo hungry after going to the gym, especially for carbs.
I feel sick now, and my stomach is streched to its max, but that is it, tomorrow is a new day and i am gunna try so hard to think how shitty i feel now so that i don't do it again! |

| I am the biggest binger in the world. I tend to do it in the morning, cereal is my biggest vice, i can go through a whole box on a bad day..for some reason i just crave carbs so badly, i once ate practically a whole loaf of bread..i love nuts and dried fruit aswell..and i know they are healthy but not when you eat a whole massive bag which i do. I'd love to try and give it up, but whenever i do it lasts for like 4 days and then i snap, i'll be in the kitchen and something takes over me and before i know it i have consumed way over my daily allowance of calories..
speaking of daily allowance, i am 5 foot 3 and 112 pounds, is anyone else on here around the same? if so how many calories do you eat cuz i am not sure..i tend to try and stick to 1300 or under on a good day, but if i have a binge it tends to go to like 1700- 2000, and do u think if i did that to often i would put on weight???! i try and exercise as much as possible to try and balance it out, but i don't think it is enough to cancel out my massive binges! |

| To carlyf,
I am sooo glad i am not the only person out there who binges and restricts like that! The cereal...i know EXACTLY what u mean, it is like i just can't bear the thought of a whole box of cereal being there,i have to eat it, i couldn't possibly just have one bowl..it is insane, and after i have done it i am like what have i done?? and go crazy with guilt and i say to myself right i am just not going to eat anything else for the rest of the day..as if that ever happens. And this applies to everything, i mean most of the food i eat is healthy, it is just that i eat it in such massive quantities..something like raisins for instance, if i buy a bag, your only suppossed to have a few and then be satisfied right? but no not me i have to eat the whole bag don't i. The thing is i am not overweight at the moment, as i went on a diet last year and lost a lot of weight, and then something just happened, i became obsessed with calorie counting and as a result it did this to me..i just think about food and what i can eat all the time..and if i don't do something i know i am going to get fat and i reallllyyy don't want to, i don't know what to do..because i am sure if i went to a doctor they would just send me away! I just want to be normal again, and not think about it anymore!! |

| I am so relieved to see that there are people out there exactly like me. My brain is consumed with food, all i think about is the calories in everything, when i am next going to eat and what i am next going to eat. I am stuck in a very bad cycle and have been for a long time now, where i binge badly not on unhealthy things particularly but, i just eat an extreme amount of it, mainly in the mornings, for example i will have about 5 bowls of cereal and i never feel satisfied. I don't think when i do it, i just eat and am then consumed with guilt after i have done it, and spend about an hour trying telling myself i will never do it again, and this last for about two days where i restrict myself severely, but inevitably my will power brakes and i go back to bingeing again. My one wish is to be 'normal' about food again, just eat three meals a day and just stop thinking about every thing i put in my mouth. Every day is a struggle and it is exhausting.
By the way to the person who said they go to bed thinking about what they will have for breakfast..i hear you, my last thought before i sleep is what i will eat for breakfast and the first thought that i get when i wake up is what i will eat for breakfast. |

| Weight Loss | I dont know how to stop | Feb 19 2007 18:52 (UTC) |

| I am exaclty the same..for ages i was really good on a very restrictive diet and lost loads of weight, but for the past couple of months i keep getting these terrible urges to binge, where i literally sit and eat as much as i can in like half an hour..then feel so so guilty, so i restrict the next day and then the cycle starts all over again. I am sick of obsessing about every little thing i put in my mouth, it is driving me crazy, all i think about is food and when i can next eat something. I know it isn't normal but i just can't stop it, every day is a struggle with food. | |||
