If someone told you you had blue hair, or that the world was going to end tomorrow, would that make it true? Quit beating up on yourself! You don't have any stats up, but judging by your photo and your 'goals' journal entry you really don't have anything to worry about. People are going to say all sorts of things to you that just aren't true and if you let them all get to you, you're going to end up nuts...
Allibugg, I looked at your profile. I doesn't say your starting weight but your ticker said you only wanted to lose 10 pounds. I saw your eating goals and I'm THINKING your have an ED. Is that right?
Start eating at 10 and stop by 5? That isn't reasonable.
I think you are having a bad day and you need a little encouragement! You have to decide what you believe about what others say. The saying, "Don't believe everything you hear" is a good one please keep it in mind.
Good luck to you, allibugg!
I have to agree with the person above me.
However, with that being said, stop with the negativity! Haha. I know you've probably been told that, we all have, but it really helps to think positively. Believe me! (Recovering anorexic/bulimic). I always try to look in the mirror and name things I like about myself, it can be hard especially when I'm already in a "down" mood, but it really helps me. Also, try and take your mind off of it, although, that rarely happens for me. I usually put on one of my favourite songs, or watch one of my favourite tv shows.
This probably didn't help at all, but I hope it did, as it works for me :)
that really did help, i probably do have an ed but i'm trying. i've had one before but thats just growing up and out of it. I just let myself go this week a little too much. My mom told me i was a little chunky, she wasn't being mean. She was saying it for my own good cause i was gorging 2400 calories a day. It just kinda hurt cause i just feel fat too. I'm not mad at her... just i let myself down
Your mom needs to stop with those comments! They don't help ANYONE!! She isn't doing you any favors!
I'm certain you are stronger than you believe yourself to be!!
One step at a time and before you know it . . .You've accomplished more than you ever believed you could!!!
i say this, because, i have also been called "chunky" and "not skinny" despite being underweight. i also feel "fat and bloated" and get sick of feeling crappy about myself. but it has nothing to do with being "fat" or heck even being "bloated". i still have a stupid "pouch" at my belly and i've wasted a good amount of life obsessing over calories, clean eating, exercise and self imagine.
no matter what i did, i never felt great about my body. i'm just not one of those people who's ever going to wake up, thinking "yep i love the way i look, i'm so sexy." it's NEVER going to happen. so do i want to sit around obsessing about how crappy i think i look 99% of the time or do i want to spend my energy doing something productive and something that makes me feel GOOD.
i'm drawing up a storm these days and feeling 100% better about myself as a whole person when i'm not poking myself in the stomach. instead i'm thinking, "i'm talented, productive and good at something. who the frick cares if i have a "pouch." and then i sit up straighter and my stomach doesn't look as bad. hahaha

if you "feel" fat and bloated and you're sick of it, you should really try to focus more on other things you love and that you're good at. like sports and stuff.

You are so wonderfully inspiring. :) It reminds me of something my aunt recently told me - she said that you can spend your whole life obsessing with losing weight, but you can also focus on being productive, hardworking, athletic, etc. Thank you for the reminder that life isn't just about weight, and that there are so many more things one can look forward to.
Thank you cereadladdiction! We all need to be reminded of that from time to time. I know when I'm getting down about my weight or food I try to remind myself of how self absorbed that is and how selfish. I am so much more than what I look like and there are so many other things I should be worrying about and devoting my time to. My friends won't care what my scale says when I step on it in the morning, they won't care what I had for breakfast or what the tag on my jeans says. I mean, really, how trivial are those things?! People will care about me if I'm a good person, they will admire me for my talents, and they'll want to spend time with me if I'm fun to be around.
wow, I really really needed this reminder right now!
Thats a good reminder. This whole dieting thing, believe it or not, is addicting. I try hard to focus on that stuff. I'll try harder now that im reminded of that. Thanks for all the support and everything. I'm just going to reach my goal and keep my maintaining weight! Hope everyone is doing good with this stuff too!

Thanks for saying that.
Will I lose weight if I eat the same food over and over?
You can lose weight despite eating the same food day-after-day as long as you eat fewer calories than you burn. In fact, eating the... Read more
