| Health & Support | Help!! Constipation :-( | Dec 06 2007 19:35 (UTC) |

| Thank you all very much for the useful information.. I don't think it's the fat.. After looking at my "Analysis" I found out that I have 25 % fat in my "pie chart".. And it's not the water, because I drink LOTS of it.. so, it's probably the fiber because it says that I have about 17g of it a day..
Well, I'll work on that from now on. Thank you all again for the info! :-) LOL, wish me luck.. |

| Weight Loss | logging food items-how do YOU do it? | Dec 05 2007 22:51 (UTC) |

| does anyone have any tips on how to feel physically better after a binge? like drinking water or something...my stomach is in pain!
Personally, after a binge, I just go to bed and try to sleep.. I know it's not the best solution, but it prevents you from obsessing too much about what you've done and when you wake up the next morning, remind yourself that it's a new day and that everything's gonna be better :-) Also, drink lots of water. I recommend mint tea, too. It's very soothing. And please, don't deprive yourself again.. it's truly the worst thing you can do.. it will only lead to more extreme food obsessions.. I know what you're going through and I would love to give you some support.. Message me if you like :-) |

| Honestly, I wish I knew how to make things better after a binge, but I don't.. I started binging (and I mean really binging) like 2 years ago and it's been horrible.. The worst thing about it is the guilt you have to deal with afterwards..
Anyway, what I want to tell you is that the one thing that helped me reduce my total amounts of binges (because I still do, unfortunately) was letting go and allowing myself to eat whatever I wanted for a month or so. After this month, I started to feel that my "Food obsessions" were almost gone.. So, my "off" month is over and here I am again, trying to approach the whole CC thing with a different attitude.. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and let go of control for a week or too and then try to start over and convince yourself that we're all human beings and we'll never be flawless.. Good luck.. |

| I've already tried most of what you listed, but it's not working.. :(
I had an apple, a mandarin, 1/2 an orange, some bran cereal and believe me I drink LOTS of water.. I don't have prune at home though.. maybe I should give it a shot, but I want to get my bowels moving tonight or by tomorrow morning before I go to school.. |

| Weight Loss | Cheat days? How often? | Dec 05 2007 22:03 (UTC) |
12 |
| Well, thanks to all of you for your replies..
jharmon4 - I like your "system". I wish I had someone supporting me in this.. I don't think that "cheat meals" would work for me, because if I eat a lot in one meal I KNOW I'd be like: "Why even bother and count calories the rest of the day? I already screwed up anyway." So, I guess, the "Cheat day" would work better for me.. Now, do you guys think I should do it every two weeks or once a week? |

| Weight Loss | Do your friends and family know? | Dec 04 2007 13:14 (UTC) |

| Well, nobody really knows that I count my calories, but my family and friends know that I watch what I eat carefully and they know that I want to lose weight. However, none of them is supportive at all.. :-( They all think I shouldn't be losing any weight in the first place and my mom always gives me "the look" whenever I ask her how much oil she's put in this or that.. | |||
| Recipes | Cauliflower - delicious AND healthy! | Dec 04 2007 13:01 (UTC) |

| I LOVE cauliflower!! I've just had it for lunch.. Here's how I prepared it:
I boiled like 300 grams of cauliflower, added some salt to it and let it cool down. Then I put it in a non stick pan, added some soy sauce, and a tablespoon of ranch dressing and let it saute for about 2 - 3 minutes.. It tasted soooooooooooooooo good.. and it's really very healthy.. I have some broccoli in the fridge too and I'm already excited that I'll be having it for lunch tomorrow :-) |

| Weight Loss | Its really hard to consume all those calories | Dec 03 2007 21:40 (UTC) |

| Well, I suggest you start eating some nuts like cashews, peanuts or hazelnuts.. They're very healthy and have lots of "good fats" and calories.
You could also eat yoghurt. |

| Okay, thanks so much for clarifying that.. I really appreciate it.
So, looking at my chart, would you say I'm doing okay or what? I don't log my weight very often.. and for some time last month I completely stopped weighing myself because I was on a plateau, but I sarted logging again last week. |

| Congratulations on what you accomplished!! You should feel extremely proud of yourself. You look amazing in your pictures.. seriously, you look so young and healthy and I couldn't even tell that you're a mom until I read it in your profile.
Now, I think that you should follow your intuition and stop losing weight, because you really don't need to. You look fantastic and what you've accomplished is more than amazing. Best of luck and congratulations again! God bless. |

| Weight Loss | most fating food | Dec 02 2007 10:42 (UTC) |
|
| Like rastnim I once ate an entire 200 g jar of Nutella by myself in one day.. actually, coming to think of it, I did that twice in my life.
I also once ate 2 kg of peanuts (that's about 4 lbs.) in less than a week!! I LOVE peanuts and chashews, but since peanuts are way cheaper (at least here) it's pretty easy to binge on them. But I don't do that anymore, this was like 2 years ago. |

| Well, the thing is that I'm kinda over this bad experience.. I'm coping well with that, it's the food that's my problem now..
I really don't know what's wrong with me, because I've never lost my appetite like this before.. and as I said before I really don't want to gain back the weight that I lost so far either.. I've been struggling with food for the past 4 years or something, but my problem was overeating and not eating too little, that's why I'm wondering what's wrong..?? Thank you all for your input. I'd appreciate any more responses. |
