| i am also 5'4" and have ranged from 100-140 lbs, so i kinda can relate to your size and howextreemely different you feel like you look i guess. one day i had a huge breakdown when realizing i hit my max weight and a friend sat me down and told me that i was beautiful and that no one else could even notice the weight but me (i still dont agree but thats my own issue). anyway, just know that even if you feel like your clothes dont fit and you are uncomfortablebeing at 140, your still beautiful! just have confidence and dont get down on yourself! and as many have already said, REALLY, DONT starve yourself! i think its amazing how if you work the right foods on this site you can manage to be eating like, 5 meals a day and STILL be losing weight! just make smart choices with proportion sizes and DONT necessairly cut off any kind of food (ex. bread) or else youll probably end up craving it and eating a whole loaf (...speaks from experience hehe) | |||

| AHH whoever it was above that was talking about the like...sick contest it becomes with the rest of the world could not be more right! when i was losing a lot of weight i would sit there and be so proud of myself for just having an apple as a snack and think about what disgusting pigs my healthier weight friends were while chowing down fast food (i cant believe they put up with my distorted eating habbits), also whenever i thought a friend would be losing weight i would suddenly get really threatened and like...try to manipulate everyone around me into eating unhealthy foods and somehow find a way to get out of eating it myself. it was so weird thinking i was "stronger" than my friends for barely eating...so messed up but i thank god they stuck by me and were willing to help me (even though i still sometimes deffinitly get that need to deny food and watch my friends devour big greasy meals. its like a sick high, but im working on it...) | |||

| same here, SO HAPPY its over. had 3 christmas meals over the past 3 days and have literally gained 12 pounds!!! but whatever. im just going to call it water weight, eat right and not starve myself so i can keep up my metabolism and lose the weight the right way! ill pass it off for what it was-the holidays. and even if i feel like death right now i know in a couple days ill be back to normal, and i enjoyed it MUCH more than if i was worrying about every bite and counting every calorie! | |||
| Foods | Am I not cool enough to "Binge" eat | Dec 21 2007 07:27 (UTC) |

new to the site ...so please be kind! : ) after reading the origional arguement and then these posts, i think it comes down to who has experienced binging, and whose experienced binge eating DISORDER. everyone binges on food every once in a while, but not everyone has experienced how it feels to completely lose sight of themselves, and suddenly come to terms with the fact that unaacounted for amounts of time (hours) have gone by and suddenly you realize how much physical pain you are in and how much you want to cry for letting yourself slip back into the cycle of binge eating disorder. i can 100% understand why some people are getting really offended, and ALSO why others find nothing wrong with the occasional "binge." ive seen it from both sides myself. LASTLY, congrats for eating broccoli. but really, why even post that... first of all, its calorie-count.com. id hope a lot of people are eating broccoli. low in cals, high in fiber, and DELICIOUS with some white rice and soy sauce! homemade chinese food!haha. |
