I feel the same way, I never feel like I've reached my "goal"  each time I set a goal weight, once I get there, I drop it lower because I dont look as small as I thought I would look.  Itts very frustrating, and very confusing.  Those dumb weight carts tick me off to, you know those "ideal weight" for your height? I'm a nurse, and we use them all the time, but they're bull, mine says that for 5'5 i should be 115-140, I weigh 135, so that puts me in the "at risk" for being overweight mark.  If I were 115 I would look sick.  I dont know, its a woman thing I think, we are never happy with ourselves, I mean, I feel better now then I did 5 years ago when I was 230lbs, but I'm not so sure I feel any less "fat" and I still have the same fears when I am out in public.... are people staring at me and making fun of my size? Are my sleeves too short showing my fat arms? Are my rolls visable through my shirt....................... hard to break after years of being obese.

I agree with lala, however if this is your preferred way of eating, maybe eat a little less at work and save say 500 calories to "binge" on when you get home.  Then, make sure you have prepared healthy meals in your fridge, portion them out in 500 calorie servings, and grab one and enjoy, since it's what you're "supposed' to be eating

 I am 5'5 156lbs and walk all day at work, lifting patients and going all over the floor, I eat every 2 hours, I lost 100lbs this way (I gained 20 back over last year that I am trying to lose).  I average about 1200 cals before I get home, then instead of eating something healthy, I binge!

That's a nicer way to look at it

Actually, it's undecided.  Depends on what study you look at and what day of the week it is, I'm a cardiac nurse, I have seen many women (and men) come in tachy after using diet aids, Whenever I hear or see of something new, I like to sniff it out. 

Oh perhaps I am curious. What a bunch of !@#$%
