Since you are lifting weights, I think your muscles may be retaining water.

I used to freak out a bit too, but I remember someone linking to

and it helped me understand a bit more how the body works. 

Rome wasn't built in one day, so keep on going to see more results!  Don't give up!

Original Post by priceless7:

i like plain PB but i never eat it. i HATE stuff like reeses. chocolate and peanut butter together grosses me out.

Same here!

I like peanut sauce (like a dip) for spring rolls, maybe sometimes apples + peanut butter... but definitely not a fan of Reeses peanut butter cups either!

EDIT:  Forgot to mention, I haven't tried PB2, but have tried Soybutter and have some strange mindset that PB2 may taste just as nasty.

It's about 2 - 5 lbs. for me.  Always! I wish it was 0 lbs.! lol

Congratulations :)

It's always nice to hear a success story!

Although you may have slipped on your way to healthy eating, I think you are far from having an eating disorder.

With binge eaters, they usually consume massive amounts of calories (think 3000+) rapidly and then may compensate the next day by fasting, abusing laxatives, or vomiting.

Many others have already mentioned that you should be eating more than 1200 calories anyway. :)

Love the replies!  It actually gave me some ideas to add to my go-to foods.

1.)  Canned tuna
2.)  Nori, furikake, etc.
3.)  Greek yogurt
4.)  Melba toast (wheat)
5.)  Boiled eggs
6.)  Beef jerky
7.)  Cereal
8.)  Light soymilk (plain)
9.)  Oranges!
10.)  Dark chocolate

I really like greek yogurt, mostly Oikos that is plain.  I add a bit of cinnamon and sometimes a dot of raw honey. (Much sweeter than clover honey.)

Anyway, sometimes to up my protein count I add nori (dried seaweed) because it is 1g of protein per sheet.  Each sheet is roughly around 10 calories and has 1g of carb.  It makes an interesting flavor with eggs, tofu, fish. :)

I am an art student.  Last year I took three Life Drawing classes.

We usually had older models (yikes) who've been doing it for years and years as a hobby.  They're really confident, it seems... especially with things that can bring you down at that age (ie - gray hairs, saggy boobies, wrinkles, etc.)

We really liked drawing people with great characteristics (muscles, unique facial expressions/features, long hair, etc.)

Hi there, I've not ever been bulimic, but just here to say you've done a great job on realizing the right way to live.

You've mentioned you stopped binging, there's a start!  You just have to work small steps in undoing the 4 years of damage.  Stay healthy and positive!

I'm having this problem right now!!
