in my opinion one of the biggest diet myths is to cut out carbs, in my opinion its very important to have a whole grain carb in the morning it give you energy along with protein. I balance all my meals to have whole grain carbs, proteins and good fats.

 my two breakfast faves:

Big bowl of kashi go lean crunch with fresh blueberries if im in a rush. or

Two slices whole grain toast with a little butter, yogurt with fresh fruit and a little granola with nuts.

I also use the brita water filter and really like it.

i live in kirkland where jason in from...and last night i was so mad and livid. if i ever see him on the streets i will give him a big mean glare.

I have a suggestion! take a fruit tray and veggie tray to share with everybody, it will be a nice gesture to your host as well and just eat from those! and if you want a beer...take some light ones...i like budlight lime. good luck!

I use bare minerals as well, its easy to use and looks super natural. It never makes me break out!

I would recommend going to the mall, and going into a nordstroms or macys and having them do your makeup...they are always more than willing to show you everything you need to know...but just out of courtesy you would usually buy a lip gloss or mascara from their counter.

Go to like Clinique or Estee Lauder. Do not go to MAC...it looks like fun....but usually turns out horrible unless its halloween!

i love my tattoo. you can see it in my gallery. its dove...Actually i got the idea from the dove beauty campain...ive struggled with not loving myself forever and when i finally learned to love my self i thought it was the perfect idea.

maybe if you are going to a holiday party you could buy it and take it with a side of homemade jam or honey butter! a great way to try it without keeping the whole loaf around.

im 20 years old, 5'4 maintaining at 110lbs with 2,000 cals a day a do a light-moderate workout 3 -4 times a week. eating less will just mess you up...ive been there its bad news!

i used to be a binger...the worst. for eight months i went through a very bad binge episode DAILY. but then i made some changes in my life and i have binged in over a month! im 5'4 110, cadio 30 mins, strength 30 mins 5 times a week. I maintain on 2,000 cals a day. Eating enough and eating what i like instead of restricted has nearly stopped my urges.

But when i do get an urge this is what i do:

Drink a ton of water...so much my tummy will hurt.

call my boyfriend for a nice long chat.

remember that my pint of ice cream will not run a way and i can enjoy a bowl after dinner tomorrow.

put on your cute clothes while listening to music and try finding different outfits by mix and matching your stuff.

I tell myself i love my body now...do i really want to ruin it? sometimes one binge leads to more more and more.

get OUT of the house....go for a walk...visit a friend...go sit at barnes and noble and look at magazines.

but what works the best because i live with my body builder brother....i just tell him so he knows to throw it away or hide it. Pathetic i know but it works...goodluck!

i eat 1800-2000 cals daily and maintain my weight of 110 at 5'4...im very tiny but am always eating. Are you still underweight? if you are you need to address that issue before you think about maintaining...

up your calories to 1800-2000 i know this is scary but you have to do this to stop the binging. I binged for many months when recovering from anorexia because i kept restricting.  Are you still underweight? if you are then your body may still be wanting calories! Please feel free to message me, if i can help in any way. Here is my meal plan i had followed to stop the binge eating:

b: Kashi go lean crunch, latte, berries

s: banana tbs peanut butter and granola bar

l: turkey and cheese sandwich, apple, crackers or baked chips

s: carrots with ranch, wheat thins, babybel/laughing cow cheese

d: big piece of grilled chicken, steamed veggies and a carb: noodles, rice or potatoes

before bed snack: big glass of milk and natural/organic cookies.

I was always full and never felt and the urge to binge.

Great job! Its so awesome to have the self control!

do not fast.  just start over, eat at least 1400 cals a day, drink lots of water, lots of fruits, veggies and whole grains. and work out. this will work way way way better than fasting.

try light cake batter ice cream with strawberries or blueberries, yellow cake (70 cals) and cinnamon...

if you are still underweight your body may still be wanting all those extra calories because its hungry and wants to be fed! this happened to me. When you get to a healthy weight the urges to binge will subside. Make sure all your meals have one carb, one protein and one fruit or veggie. it makes for a balanced day because all your meals are balanced and you wont need to binge.
