Come to rant~!!!!!!

Young calorie counters only! from 12 or less to like 21?

Come here to rant about your diet obssesions, what's keeping you from losing weight or maintaining, or any other problem not related to weight . Anorexia, bulimia, the rest! This is jut so that you can find help to your problems.

I made a post like this but it was for everyone, not for young calorie counters, so Admin, please don't delete it.

What's keeping me from losing those last 5 pounds is my love for food and my little support from family. I love nuts with dried fruits waaaaay too much which causes me to often overeat when I am bored and have nothing to do. But I recognized my problem, and it is that the mix of nuts and fruit is delicious, and I don't like nuts that much without the dried fruit [Which contains tons of added sugars] so I'm not buying it anymore! And my family, I tell them I want a flat stomach, and they say I'm okay the way that I am, but I don't want to be okay! I want to be fit, strong, and the best I can be!

That was long =_=''

i get frustrated because i really want to be healthy, and i love healthy food, and i hate eating too much in one go because it makes me sick, and so basically i love my usual eating habits because what im most comfortable with is also usually really healthy....buuuuuut occasionally i just binge. for no reason. im not tryng to lose or gain weight, but in the past year ive gained quite a bit of weight because it seems like sometimes i just get into a binge mode and its unstoppable!

i noticed it happens mroe when im alone. i dunno, maybe im lonely or something. but like ive noticed that when im in the house and theres someone else there too, im fine, but wen that person leaves and im left alone, i just get the urge to peek into the fridge and just see what there is, what i might or might not wanna eat, and nibble on things to get a nice taste, and then i just binge. its not like i need help or advice on it either, i know what i need to do, and i know how i can stop binging, its just annoying ><

so yeah, theres my rant:)

oh another rant, i hate telling people i want to be healthy, or talking about my eating habits, because i always feel like theyre judging me (i know theyr not always, but it feels like it). because my food preferences tend to b different, and im a rly picky eater, some ppl just think im pretending to like healthy food so that i dont get pressured into eating "junk food", which is totally not true - peer pressure is not a problem for me, and most junk food i actually really dont like! like candy, i cant stand candy it just taste like nothing with sugar. and no one can seem to understand me about that. ah well:P

so there was rant # 2. wow im bored:P

Sorry, Bass - didn't realise you wanted the initial post to be teens (young adults) only. D; Still, it's good to have one for each, I guess.


Edit: Oh! Here's my rant: I have to avoid dairy for the fact I am lactose intolerant, but as the diagnosis is still... fairly recent (within the year, I was diagnosed in June) my dad thinks it's a faddy thing and not anything to do with my physical reactions to food. Even though he's HEARD me in the loo when I've been hit by it. It's frustrating like you wouldn't believe.

Better still, last night we went out shopping and stopped in a bar/restaurant and he said he was wondering when I'd be out of my phase of avoiding dairy and - wait for it - fats. I was furious. Where did that accusation come from other than the left bloody field? I eat so many fats within a day - healthy ones, largely, nuts, seeds, nut butter, oily fish... and just to spite him (and because I was hungry/had a hankering for fish and chips), I ordered a plate of battered fish and chips and peas. :\ And ate it all. Bah.

unsupportive parents, friends, etc. that does suck:( i totally get what you mean

It's no problem lalabanana =D, I think it works better having two like these.And yes, unsupportive parents are frustrating!!! I mean, when I won't have  a slice of pizza, people judge me, and yeah that makes me frustrated but it's my eating habits and I do what I want with them[as long as it's healthy and approved by my mom XD]!!

Oh and this is like my 3rd ranting?

#3 or 2?

I hate it when people see you've lost weight and they immediatley think you're anorexic or bulimic. A guy in my school bothered me for like 3 or 4 months after I came back from summer break looking skinnier, he said I puked after I ate. I felt really mad afterwards because i hadn't done it. I prefer to eat healthily ad exercise losing weight slower. No offense to the people who are or where bulimic or anorexic though.

I'm tired of everyone being so nice and wanting to take me out to lunch and dinner because I'm home from college! It's so sweet and nice but I really just want to cook! It's frustrating when if it were up to me I'd eat perfectly well but my friends want to go for pizza and my aunt wants to take me to lunch and my parents want to go to dinner and my boyfriend wants to take me out for 3 meals a day. Urgggh I hate being ungrateful but it's driving me crazy!

bassified that reminds me of a rant! I had lost a little weight over the summer and I've had discolored teeth due to something that happened to me as a baby and the nurse was CONVINCED I was bulimic to the point where she made me leave the room and talk to my mom about it! My mom bitched her out about how she watches me get up early to go to the gym and make my own dinner when my parents order out pizza. I hope the nurse felt stupid because I exhibited no signs of bulimia. I was right in the middle to high half my healthy weight range (bmi of about 22) and I could have still lost a few pounds and I was perfectly healthy. It was so frustrating. Not as frustrating as this stubborn college weight that's just SO much harder to get off then every other weight in my life.

O.O Can people get anymore judgemental! I can't believe they would be like that lafoutloud! I'm pretty sure you felt like punching her!

• I'm tired of my grandmother telling me that I eat too much - looking at me like I'm about to explode if I eat a cookie...
  
  
• And I'm tired of my friends giving me "advice" (--> not meaning to sound ungrateful, but telling me that I'll never lose weight unless I completely give up bananas, nuts & red meat... while they're eating a huge chocolate bar for breakfast is not "helping")
• ooh - and my parents hate vegetables and always end up buying the worse crap they can find (sweets, crisps, disgusting microwave meals, etc) - they're both obese
• I'm having trouble with my stomach again too ...and it sucks
  

Mmh. My parents are unsupportive in an opposite way to you guys, I guess. My mum has a habit of offering me chances to cut calories - considering I am gaining and recovering this is bad because my ED tries to butt in and take advantage. Opposingly, my dad's horrific diet and food purchasing habits... I won't touch on those.

Noxie, you should try shopping for food with your parents, and YOU pick out the food you need. And tell your friends bananas have a lot of nutrients and are okay eaten in moderation, nuts have healthy fats that are needed for the body to burn fat, and red meat has protein, but eat it in moderation, white meat is healther and cleaner.

yeah, I do normally stick to light meat - but sometimes it's kinda unavoidable... I wouldn't say anything if I was eating it every day - it's just that it bugs me - they see me eat it 1x a week and start nagging
And my parents are hopeless...they call most of my my food "grass" (actually, unless it's roast pork & potatoes or something like that - it's not "food" to them), and when they DO buy it they buy so much there's no way I can eat all of it before it goes bad...so the next time I ask for something I get the: " We bought it last time but you didn't eat it"

(I distinctly remember my mum trying my broccoli once and spitting it out immediately... the only vegetables they eat are tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce...and that's it - and of course, they pour oil all over them)

That is so wrong! Try buying it in small quanities, that's what I do so my mom doesn't go all crazy on me! XD

I really feel like I don't need to gain weight but I know that I do but its proper (Yep) wrong that you can see bones in my back but my stomach is bloated like a balloon! It's not fair! >_<

Everytime I eat something unhealthy I feel like I will gain 5 lbs in one day ; though I don't tell anyone this because they will think it's quite annoying so I just keep quiet and cry in my room.

I also think I had an ED for a little while so I really dont know ; my mom is worried about me and saids I need to gain like 10 lbs, do you think thats reasonable? I dont! I remember being 108 lbs and I didn't like it D:

I know..I suck..okay, I dont. Ahhh! ; My head is indeed messed up right now

Okay..I feel better :]

ichigochanx[uhh!! you like anime! Lol I love bleach, if that's the ichigo you're referring to ]-anyways, I think you do have an ED please get checked  out and seek professional help before you actually gain weight just to be sure. Good luck! =D

Bass: Yeah, I like anime though my username is not the Ichigo you're talking bout'. I do love bleach thuogh. :]

Thanks for your concern but i'm fine. Thank you though! ^_^

xxx Ali

No problem!! =D

Ichigochanx: Your name isn't from Tokyo Mew Mew, is it?

Noxie, i think our families are the same lol. cucumbers lettuce and tomatoes. and the occasional green onion/garlic.  Having siblings who want to be healthy helps though! me and my sister gained up on the rest of the family, and demanded healthy nutritious food, we went shopping with my mom etc, and to prove my point to the them i started buying my own fruits/veggies, in the end my mom felt guilty because i bought it with my own money lol. hope it gets better for you!!

i just need to rant about how i hate getting off track. i KNOW it happens to everyone but it seems that as soon as i'm back to my routine something comes my way and i fall again. i don't mean just in weight loss or whatever, but just in general. am i ocd for liking a routine? a plan?! it's hard to eat clean and exercise when everyone around you sees it as a joke. i'm not overreacting because it's not like it's only happened once.. i just want atleast a month to myself. idk i just don't like to be bothered.. am i being bitchy? ughhhh.

do any of you just like being in your own little world?
