breakfast is the meal that starts your day, whether your day starts at 6:30 am, or 11:30 am.

i read somewhere you should eat within an hour of waking up. so whenever you wake up; eat breakfast. if it makes you feel any better, you could call it brunch, early lunch, or whatever.

the all-natural needs to be refigerated. but the other kind(s), can just chill in the cupboard or pantry.

i love the all-natural stuff so much more than the other brands, but i hate how it gets so hard and unspreadable.

i measure calories burned in 2 ways;

1. the number's the machines give me. yes, i've heard they're inaccurate. i have no idea if they are or not, but i still use them as a rough guideline.
2. how i feel. when i leave the gym and can still walk, am awake, and am not sweating like an eskimo in hawaii i know i didn't push myself as hard as i should have.

well, i already started, i can't stop counting now; it's way too late for me.

and i'm already getting better at not binging/not binging as bad. yesterday i only binged to 3000 instead of my usually 5000-6000. and today, i binged on 2 packs of gum. and i'm binging less often.

i used to hate those flinstone vitamins, but the gummi bear ones were sick!

i'm a binger and i know if i went to have 1 hershey's chocolate kiss i'd end up eating the whole bag plus a couple peanut butter sandwiches, icecream, oranges, etc.

:S

it really does suck. i'm fine at night, it's the weekends that get me. and i binged so much (5000 a day) that i gained like 3 lbs of pure fat in a weekend. i almost made it through a long weekend until today..  but only went up to 3000.

i didn't ask for support, and/or candy-coating.

i'm merely saying that you manage to turn every thread asking a perfectly innocent question into picking at someone's diet. she asked about serving sizes; she didn't ask if you think she's obsessive about calorie counting.

and like, i honestly couldn't care less about your diet or whatever, so get your nose out of mine. if you don't have an answer to the question posted; don't post. simple as that.

i definetely do not want to be stuck in the binge cycle. i need to stop that completely.

maybe if i get a calendar or something and check off the days i dont binge and try to go a month without binging, that'll help.

ewwxroflzz: dieting the way everybody else does, doesn't work for me. i don't lose weight that way. this is the only way i see results, and quick ones. so i don't have to wait a long time before i can stop hating myself.

zebby: as soon as i'm at my goal weight, i'll bring my calories back up. seriously, that's my plan and i plan to stick to it; no pun intended. and the only real problem i have is the fact that i binge like a pig and ruin all my hard work.

i always wondered that too, and then it dawned on me: if a small banana with a peel is 54 grams, it would be like 10 grams without the peel, and there's no way a fruit has 72 calories for like 10 grams.

the above paragraph of this post was confusing babble, but it makes sense to me. :)

is all fruit on this site counted as unpeeled? and things like kidney beans and chicken breast; is the weight cooked or uncooked?

i was gonna get a counselor/dietician/nutritionist but my mom's busy with work right now, so she doesn't have time to look for one. plus she said she couldn't find one, and i really don't know where to look.

and i am going to stop by restrict/binge cycles. i'm just gonna stick to the restriction. and i'll space it out so i get meals and snacks. :)

and today i binged up to 3000 on mini wheats, 1/3 of a chocolate bar, gummi bears, 3 slices of vegetarian pizza and 5 of these chocolate-coffee hard candies.

ewewewewewewew me.

same time, same place, once a week is how they recommend you track your weight loss/gain, or even maintenace.

weighing yourself everyday can send you on emotional spirals, you can gain 3 lbs of food in a day, etc. and eventually it takes you over, and then you end up like who weighs myself after EVERY morsel that goes down my throat. i drink a glass of water, see the scale go up 8 ounces and think i gained 8 ounces of fat. it's a viscious cycle.
