WOW there is sooo much here I can relate too I can't even begin. I get the oh you'd be soooo beautiful if you only lost some weight from my family too. Well know what I did i told them to mind their own businesses and they they have no right to comment about my weight...lol boy did that set them off!
I have never been comfortable in my own skin and i've always been the odd man out, I don't know if it is because I was fat and insecure or i freally just have a flippin boring personality all I know is that I like never ever ******* fit in and I'm sooo fed up. THis feels good saying aloud (well kinda aloud) it so nice to have you guys to rant to. Although lol who woulda guesses I don't feel like I even fit in here either. OMG!!! This has got to stop, this way of thinking bad about our selves and feeling inferior because its not way to live.
ANd it blows here because the gym is so far away and I just wanna eat cuz i'm bored which i did last night which just makes me feel gross, so I'm just gonna try to maintain for now which sucks cuz i'm almost half way to my goal :(

So Yikes I got a minor last night. It was my first night ever drunk and of course the cops got called :Z Needless to say I'm not drinking again till i'm 21. And today I'm drowning my sorrows in greasy delicious foods! |

Since being at school I have no clue how many cals i have been eating. I don't snack though cuz I have none and my car won't start (too darn cold out!) So i think i'm doing good. I'm making the most healthiest choices that I can for a school meal and take fruit to go so have for a snack later. i'm excited to go home and weight myself. I must admit that its been way too cold to go to the gym because its like a mile away and I AM NOT WALKING there till its warmer, but I also haven't went cuz its intimidating. There are always a lot of people there and the one i go to at home is small and easy to use so I'm a bit nervous but starting this weekend i'm kicking my but into gear and I'm gonna make myself go. Oh and no purging since i've been here. YAY :) |

Really sorry jessica, I know how hard losses can be. I will say a prayer for you and your family.
I was off the wagon this weekend too, but I don't think I did too bad. And today was my first day of school at my new school. So far so good. My roomies seem really nice so should be better than last time. And classes so far are good. |

so guys throwing up has seemed to come 2nd nature to me. I went out todays for lunch AND dinner and then had popcorn. After I felt like total crap, so I went and worked out. 2 min in to working out I'm like I gotta throw this crap up. It was even even pre-planned just popped into my head. I then went into the bathroom and threw up my popcorn and have those little dots above my eyes which basically screams to the whole world "I BINGE AND PURGE!". I then did 30 min on the elliptical and then ran some on the treadmill cuz that makes me feel a little bit better about everything. I don't know why I'm tellling ya. I know its wrong, I don't wanna do it but...I don't know it's been a hard week and I'm pms'ing all I wanna do it cry and eat and then eat some more.
edit: swore sorry |

Thanks guys for the feedback I appreciate it...I am still a bit apprehensive about it, but it's change and change isn't easy. Hope y'all have a great weekend! Oh yeah and lafoutloud what misericordia said is true it your worried about getting drunk and binging just don't don't get drunk have a few drinks (or one whatever your limit is) and just enjoy yourself. |

Okay so I know that I have already vented and droned on about this so I'm sorry :). But I'm getting really stressed here guys, and losing sleep and self confidence by the minute. So like I said all me new roomies (whom I've never met.) are gorgeous and very very skinny. Which makes me feel terrible and gross even after all the success I've had. I'm getting really stressed about moving in and thinking about how I'm not gonna fit in and their not gonna like me at all. I can't live again with roommates who dont get along it's just not fun or easy. And when I'm stressed I CANT sleep I lie awake just thinking about it over and over again. Ugh!!!! Stupid I know, but it's always been hard for me to make friends until recently and I'm so scared it will be again and I'll just be all alone at school with no friends. |

Lafoutloud how much calories is that. It doesn't seem like it would be a lot. i know that you know already not to go below 1200, but I've done it and it get's to the point where you have like no metabolism. But then again you are shorter than me, so probably need less. So just be healthy and don't starve your self. When school starts don't worry too much about your weight. No matter what size you are you are still you, that doesn't change and your friends probably are not going to notice a little bit of weight gain :). I find that when I really start stressing about my weight is when I start restricting my calories, and i also start to purge. Before and after the holidays I purged because i was sooo obsessed with not gaining, but I know that it isn't and wasn't worth it. It's not healthy for my body and that's what I really want is to be healthy. I wish I could talk to you face to face it would be so much easier. But I know what you are going through with depression and the like so just no there are others in the same boat. *BIG HUG* |

Long time no talk everyone! WOW everyone has shared so much and that is cool that you guys are able to share your past and hurts with everyone. To me that means you are already on the road to healing and getting better :)
YAY! I start school on Monday with 3 new roommates...who are all like skinny and gorgeous...blah. But I'm still pumped! NEW START!!!!!!!! And I'm almost to my mini goal weight of being in the 180's before school starts. |

I'm sorry wendo...bleh what a jerk. You said that some other guy is into you though??? How's that going? And I think that we are all going to find amazing guys sooner or later, and hopefully sooner. And it being a new year my goal is to be more outgoing and actually try and talk to guys instead of putting my head down and walking away :p. FYI: there are some super guys out there. On new years eve I went and saw some of my old friends and there all really cute guys (brothers) and one of them is a pretty skinny guy and he's been with his girlfriend for 3 or 4 years and she wasn't tiny when they got together and now she gotten really big, but siah doesn't even act like he cares about that. You can just tell he loves her for her and doesn't judge her by others standards.
Hope everyone had a great new years! |

Hey all and new peeps! I'm so glad that this thread is still going strong!
comdis that is sooo cool that you are going to study abroad I think it will actually help you come more into yourself (of you let it anyway). I have always been the shy girl too, kinda stand in the background and blends in. But when I went to Yellowstone to work this summer I was totally out of my element but ended up totally coming into my self, and had the best summer of my life and made some of the best friends anyone could ask for. So go enjoy your trip and be comfortable with you!!!
So still OFF the wagon its been almost 2 weeks, but havent gained too much weight yet. But i know it will start coming on if i continue eating like this too much longer. I'm so close to being in the 80's that I can taste it but it's almost like i have to start my diet all over again. And the first 3 days are always the hardest for me. So on friday the 2nd I'm jumping back on and i mean hardcore cuz i wanne be 189 by the time school starts. Have you guys noticed that eating healthier has affected more than just losing weight. For me i have been depressed for like ever. But since eating healthier more clean foods and exercising at least 4x a week, I have been so happy and hardly depressed at all, which in turn makes me more confident. Have you guys notices this? It's great and this alone should motivate me to start eating healthier again. |

Wendolinelad your pictures look beautiful...LOL you look very alluring in them, I'm sure the guys just love it! So i feel kinda disgusting lately I've been eating "normal" which means out to eat almost everyday. It's soooo hard around this time, so I try to eat healthy meals around the going out to eat and then get what I want once i'm out to eat (i try to eat half), so needless to say I've lost no weight but I haven't gained any either so I can't complain too much. But I'm just scared that I'm gonna get sucked into my old eating lifestlye I'm down to 192 and feel so good. Like my self confidence is through the roof and because of that I feel confident in almost any situation that I'm in. which for me is big deal. So i guess I'm just looking for some encouragement to know that yes after Christmas i'm jumping back on the wagon (except for new years eve cuz I'm letting lose then If you know what I mean :). And that I'm gonna get to my goal weight no matter what. Thank you for listening to my rant or rather reading it :) |

NOO don't cancel go and have fun! And let us know hot it goes okay? Your picture is gorgeous, and a lot of guys no matter what your size (in reason) have told me if a girl has a pretty face that can be all that matters. And a size 16 is not that big at all. So once again go and enjoy your self. |

Oh my gosh I love this group! I'm reading through it and it's amazing like every time i do i always find someone who is in the same boat as me. Like vron I just hacked of my hair too! 10 inches gone and like you I have naturally curly hair, that is really thick. I miss it so much though, I feel a lot prettier when I have long hair. But alas my hair was fried and needed to be chopped. And lafoutloud01 I'm so with you, i was thinking what should i have for lunch? A salad? And I seriously though I'd throw up if I ate another salad. So for a treat today I went and got kfc, something that I'd been craving for like ever. I can't keep eating the same stuff I'm getting bored with it. What do you guys do to have yummy variety but still keep it healthy. And just thought I'd share I tried on a dress with heels today (just for fun and pure boredom) and for once I actually thought my legs looked pretty darn good. Sorry just had to share cuz i've always hated my legs. |

I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way but you are really lucky and must be in pretty good shape to weight 241 and be a size 16! This is a compliment to you :). When I weighed 230 I was like a size 22 and now that i'm down to 192 I'm like a size 17-18.
I think that when you hit a plateau it's more that your body has gotten "used" to you routine and has become comfortable. Switch up things like your exercising and caloric intake can really help. Like i kinda stopped losing weight for a while and then i upped my calories from 1200-1300 to more like 1450-150 for like 2 weeks. I was losing a steady amount of like 1.5 lbs per week. Then this past week i started feeling gross about myself and reduced it to more like 1200 (I don't really think this is healthy for me So i'm upping it to at least 1400 again, it's just hard sometimes) and after doing that I lost 5.5 lbs in like 6 days. And its because my body was used to more calories than that. But what works for me may not work for you it's different for everybody. |

Lafoutloud01 great job! I'm trying to run more and more too. So far I'm up to 10 min of straight running. Which for me is amazing before you probably couldn't get me to run 1 min! But I'm slowly starting to enjoy it, and every day that I run I try to push myself more and more. When I can run 1 mile under 9 min I will ecstatic. keep it up you are doing awesome. |

Wendolinelad I get where you are coming from I signed up for a dating site too! I wasn't sure about or about myself. I started talking to one guy and I become so nervous thinking about when and if we met was he gonna like me, were my pictures misleading...etc.
But I think you should go and meet him and just show that you are proud of who you are and show of them curves! Being confident or even acting confident makes you so much more beautiful to others. Hope you two have a great time together. |

Jessica I understand about the pic thing...I didn't put on up for a while either and then finally i'm like so what I'm gonna put a picture on here. WOW it sounds like we have a lot in common I was the shy really quiet one in high school too. And then my first 2 years in college were not much different. College was way better than high school for me though because I at least found a small bunch of very good friends. Good luck to you, you are going to have so much fun living on campus! |

LOL...Home alone a classic.
I'm really excited to start a new school, but at that same time I'm sooo nervous. I've become more confident in myself over the last year so I'm excited to see if that is gonna carry on over to this school, or if i'm gonna be the same shy girl I was at my last school. But I'm pumped to start at a new school and start a new major. My new major is elementary education, which is gonna kick my butt because I'm so behind but I think it will be worth it in the long run. WOW! You are like the first person i've met who has been so enthusiastic about starting a new school...isn't that something which is usually dreaded? :) |

I guess I'm a little behind here. My major is elemantary education and I also have changed my major a bazillion time...but i'm stickin with this one (hopefully) Funny you guys bring up the drinking stuff I'm transferring schools from a very strict private school, to one of the biggest party schools in MN. I decided i was just gonna have fun this year, but I don't wanna drink if i'm gonna waste calories on crap like that...so I don't really know what to do...guess I'll find out soon enough.
As for exercising i've recently started to love running. I even dreamed about running the other night (bad day cal. wise lol). I'm still not very good at it, but I'm starting to love it none the less. I also want to start hiit anyone else done it?
