| Weight Loss | I don't feel so good, I binged. Can anyone help me out? | Oct 22 2009 21:03 (UTC) |

Hi, I have been through a similar situation. I would eat continuously and ended up gaining so much weight due to BED. But when I went back home during summer I notice I don't even think about eating at all!! I eat normally...eat when I'm hungry and I eat whatever I want (I mean...be realistic though. If I want a cake, just eat a piece...something like that). Then I realize, it was because I have something to do!!!!! If you have something to look forward to, sometimes you will forget about that "wanting" feeling. Try watching movie or read a book (it seems like a cliche but Twilight helped me go through it!!) Shopping online...or whatever!!! Just find something that you would look forward to do! Oh...and sometimes....that tiny 0 calories coke/pepsi also help me get through the afternoon.
Good luck! |

Oh! I mean....I don't want to tide my life to the gym forever. I would go to the gym regularly, but I want to incorporate walking from places to places, hang out, running outside, walk in the park, ride a bicycle, have fun, using stairs instead of elevators all the time, ... be active! I mean...that would be really nice. I notice a lot of thin people didn't always go to the gym everyday. But I thought they watch out what they eat and moving around all day....do they? |

I'm trying to be active without going to the gym that often. I dance along with my music in my room, walking around, do sit-ups walk to grocery store. But I still get in trade-mill as well. Can you lose weight without going to the gym and stay healthy? Since diet is a lifestyle change, I would rather combine most of the activities into my daily lives so my life wouldn't stuck to the gym forever. |

thank you - ....Yeah...I have been comparing myself to other person....but....this is the only girl and the same girl that I have been talking about in other post!!! She "come" to me, not the other way around. I did tell her that I don't want to talk about this subject, but she either ask her friends to ask me about it, or still come and sit with me during dinner so that she could talk about it. Lately, I have to avoid eating dinner at the dinning hall and take breakfast upstair because she would be down there and start bragging about food....and asking me ALL THE TIME.
*** Not that I don't appreciate your answer - because your answer DOES reminds me of how I should think to myself!! :) But the dinner is tomorrow and it is VERY RUDE in Thai culture to behave rudely or say something bad about the food that someone intentionally cook for you. That's all I'm worry about is tomorrow! I hope I won't slip back tomorrow......because I hate to be like that again..ever.
Still, silentdeadlyrose - thank you!! I would do what you say!!! |

gi-jane You always have the answer! Thank you! But one more thing about the dinner, it's not my party. It's an invitation from our teacher to his house so that international students could have a nice traditional dinner together (this time is Thai people gathering). But I will be the one who cook all the food. She said something like, we should cook diet food and everything. I mean, there are a lot of healthy low fat diet food, but other Thai people didn't want to have those. So I cook what the majority told me to cook. So when I sit down at dinner, what if she say that she wouldn't eat or behave rudely toward the food....that would definitely make me not eat. Should I still warn the girl before hand that her behavior will not be acceptable? |

You all are very very inspiring! msn3rd702 - I agree with one thing on your profile - lifestyle that I can maintain!! That's my goal!
chrissy1988 - I'm sorry to here that you have to stay in the house with other 25 girls...with that ED habit!!! You are very STRONG for at least keeping yourself very positive! And yes, I was partially telling myself in the back of my head that my friend is ruining her body. I once send an e-mail to her and tell her to be careful or else she will end up like me last year. She was thankful for my concern, but didn't change her habit. I guess I just have to keep myself positive like you! |

I have been receiving help for a year now and until this point, I can live my life as normally as possible without any help around. I don't care about calories, I eat healthy and all. I haven't binge in a big big while, which I am very happy and proud of it. I'm not close with this girl, but we are force to have a "friendship" because we came from the same country (Thailand) and there are only 6 Thai people in my school. It's better to not have any problem between us. But everything she said just remind me of how I acted last year. I must have been obnoxious to many people around me and I'm very sorry that I acted like that, but my mind was really distorted. Anyway I can try to stay away from her or react to what she says politely? I'm automatically forcing myself to sort of compete with her in losing weight right now....and that's not good |

My latest BMI is at 22.....moving up from 18. I'm glad it goes up. Every time I think about what that girl said about not eating and go on a diet (just like me last year), I would stop myself and hold myself form slipping back. If I find myself eating too less - I bump the number up by eating almonds and cashew :) And just tell myself that I need to eat to really lose some weight. Not eating would not last long and will make things worse! Thank you so much for all the answers. I'm really appreciate them.

| Weight Loss | 4 packs instants oats or 1 big mac? | Mar 18 2009 23:19 (UTC) |

Just to warn about the sugar content in instant oatmeal, though. I don't know how much sugar is in each pack....and I'm sure they are all very process sugar.
But yes, I agree...oat is a better choice. I love Muesli, though. They are quite less sugar. |

My school nurse thought I get better now, so as mu nutritionist that I have been seeing for 1 year. We stop setting our appointment since last month and I was doing ok. I didn't really think much about how I would look, as long as I'm happy with my life and my healthy lifestyle. I did gain some weight last school term because of some depression/emotional eating/bingeing cycle. But now, since I stop having appointment with my nutritionist, I haven't binge (which I'm really happy about that Until yesterday. This girl start saying the EXACT same thing like what I said last year before I was really obsess with losing weight!!! And I start to slipping back again! I went running (yesterday and today) for 30 minutes and walk for 15 minutes. Eating as usual at 1500 calories or a couple of hundred more. It seems nice, but the whole time I went running, all I can think about was running to lose weight!!! I DO NOT want to be what I was last year again....ever. I hope I'm doing everything the right way. I do eat a balance meal and healthy. I did some exercise. And hopefully, losing weight the right way.
But thank you |

For me, fat usually make me satisfied......not much of the feeling of full. But I think eating protein will make me feel full. Try replace your something with eggs. Milk doesn't really work with my fullness, though. For me, it has to be something like fish, egg, chicken. Now that would make me feel full. :)
Hope this helps! |

Thank you all of you for support! I need to stop thinking too much about what I have done....I should let go of things that has already happen in the past and I can't fix. Hopefully, I can find people that I can relate and have fun with. Just because I don't have much friends here in USA, I don't hang out and I ended up studying so hard...then follow by binge and weight gain I have notice a couple of time when I went out with one friend, I actually enjoy the moment and I don't even think about food anymore. So, I need to fix this issue. Thank you so much for all the advice and support!!! :)
sincerely, Imy |

lbasham62 - Thank you - thank you - thank you very much! It gives me a better feeling seeing the answer. I don't know if what I'm feeling is a kind of depression or not (I hope not) but I don't have anyone else to talk to. I don't have any friends because I don't really know how to act to them (such as will I do something that they did not like or what I did will be appropriate or not). I tried to be more open, but it seems scary. Thank you so much for the reply, though. It makes me feel better! |

I have a similar problem...or maybe it's emotional eating, I'm not sure. I eat when I'm sad or when I'm scared or when I feel embarrass. And it eventually adds pounds to my body. I don't really know how to fight this either, but all I know is, I have to stop this cycle. I can't give any specific answer to your problem, but all I know is, we can encourage each other to stop this cycle. So, if I'm in front of computer, I will start googling around to see house's decoration, music, or anything. I even log in to CC and look at the chat room or the lounge! I wish you good luck with the binge problem! Binge is such an evil enemy!!! |

| Weight Loss | Cereal addicts!! | Feb 13 2009 18:31 (UTC) |

aw.....join the club!! Because I love cereal too! I just develop this habit when I come to USA, but thank God that my favorite is Kashi (original and crunch) and I love low fat raisin granola. I snack on them all the time. Right now, I'm fighting against binge eating and what I did was "putting them into a zip log bag". I usually put 1/2 cup or 2/3 cup into each bag and when I want to eat, eat just one bag and hide the rest in my dorm room closet! Try it. it may works better. Sometimes, I even eat them with milk because it makes things look more like a meal and therefore -- make me feel extremely full.
hope it helps! |

littlebeep - I cut down a bit because it's toward the ending of swimming season, but so far....I have been binge a lot. I guess that it has been substituting those calories. But yes, during the middle of the season, I eat a lot more. -- and marshmallow has no taste...I got the mini one with the candy/fruity flavor and my TTOM just make me craved for sugar today. uhm..I should have pack them up in the 100 calories pack, though. Thank you fir reminding me of that!!! |

| Weight Loss | Can you gain muscles from swimming? | Feb 05 2009 00:20 (UTC) |

Thank you everyone so much! I didn't get a chance to do the afternoon practice today because I didn't get enough sleep for 2 nights. But I still eat normally, though.
For the calories, my nutritionist me to get my BMI back to 21 and that would be me at 110 lbs. But if that extra 10 lbs are muscles, I don't want to lose that. Still, over 2000 calories seems to be very a lot! I try to make myself eating in the normal portion or else when the swimming season is over, I will be doomed with the athlete's eating habits. But I'm definitely going to uptake my calories a bit and see if I will gain any weight or not! (I'm aiming at 1600-1800 calories on the practice day, I'll see how it goes!)
Thank you |

When I start eating more, I gain so much weight! And they wouldn't go down! Should I add more calories? And by how much? Because in the burn meter calculation and all the online calculation for calories I should be eating, they suggest me 1300-1500 calories to lose.... *very confusing!*
but thank you for the first answer! |
