When I was about 15, I was walking to class and two boys behind me shouted 'THUNDERTHIGHS!' really loudly, and everyone just stared, pointed and whispered at me.

I still have a complex about my thighs.

Whereabouts are you going?

Fruit and veg are pretty much the same in every country - experiment!

Thats what I assumed a 'binge' would be; the complete lack of control.

Its just confusing; and a little strange to me that so many people claim they've had a 'binge' by going over their DEFICIT by about 200 calories!

Craziness!

Nobody hates vegetables really! No offence, but thats a very childish thing to say!

You've probably just destroyed your tastebuds after years of high fat foods; maybe try and start small; Im a massive advocate of the stir-fry, load of vegetables, noodles and some chicken or something is always a nice low-calorie meal (watch the oil though!)

And definitely start eating breakfast, it'll set you up for the day so you don't crave fatty foods so much; some cereal and fruit is a good basis. And incorporate snack times as well to keep your calories/energy up so you're less likely to fall back on the quick energy boost!

Also, being a stay at home mum doesn't necessarily mean you have to stay at home - take your child to the park/on walks, you'll get some excercise and he'll burn off some energy so you \can relax in the afternoons!

Finally, definitely check out the recipies and other tips on these forums as they've been invaluable to me, and you'll probably also find some groups for people in a similar situation; just explore!

Anyway, hope that was useful (kind of!) and Good Luck!!

Because your body starts storing everything as fat.

Of course if you restrict to purely vegetables and run two miles a day, you will loose weight....and muscle.....and probably start to binge eat through exhaustion and depression before putting it all back on....

Your body is cleverer than you think, and will find a way to retain fat or force you into eating what it needs.

If you want to loose weight, not more than 1000 less than what you burn; so 1540 calories at the bare minimum!

But probably a good idea to eat about 1800.

Good Luck!

I plan to do the same when Im down -or around- my goal weight, I think CC is an invaluable learning resource for me, but it is easy to get carried away.

Today I ate:

Breakfast: Half a bowl of All-Bran mixed in with some Quaker Oats and Skimmed Milk

Mid Morning: One Banana and a light hot chocolate

Lunch: A wholemeal pitta with tuna and a little grated cheese

Mid Afternoon: A Bag of Cashew Nuts (about 40g)

Dinner: A Vegetable Stir Fry with Egg and some Chicken

Evening Snack: A Small Bowl of Muesli with Skimmed Milk

Was all delicious and about 1500 calories.

(Would also like to point out that hardly any of it was diet/low cal/low fat food-it was all just healthy, fresh, normal food - come on portion control!!!)

jules817, yes I think that comment was necessary, this is an incredibly immature situation, exacerbated by the attention shes now receiving on these forums, and I think its ridiculous.

The reason shes discussing this on here instead of with someone she knows is probably because they'd say the same thing as I did.

I thought it was really interesting and quite helpful actually, its no so much hypnotism as re-training your body how to think and feel about food - i.e. stopping when you're full.

I think its well worth watching.

Thats a good point actually, I have a problem of always equating 'snacks' with being unhealthy! I am trying with the bananas, I guess I need to increase the amount/quality of the food! Your suggestions sound delicious and thankyou!!

At least Easter will soon be over and the pesky things will be gone!

Hey, Im in college too and live by stir-frys!

Little bit of oil, all the veg you like, some kind of meat (i usually have chicken or bacon) and some stir-fry noodles, I sonetimes have a warm wholemeal roll with it too. Mmmmmmmmm!

Cheap, for the college budget, simple, and done in about 10 minutes!

I love bananas; I eat 2-3 a day as well, always worried slightly that they MUST be bad cause people told me I eat them too much but now, Ill eat them whenever I please! Thanks!

Ooh thankyou! Unfortunately less than I thought :(
