I agree as well. Also check out the thread on clean eating by kfisherx.

This post is exactly what you need to do to meet your goals. HOWEVER, you need to start at the beginning and get help. Until you have dealt with your eating disorder, you will be unable to follow...

That irritates me too. "Why are you doing . . .? I've never seen a woman do that before."

I just smile and keep doing my thing.

I actually find the women much more irritating when they...

Wow that looks amazing!

Binging is dangerous territory, so I recommend a professional to help you deal with your relationship with food and body image.

You've referenced your "cheats" in several posts. This tells me...

You make a very strong argument to research posts before commenting. ;) I didn't think you were calling her out, I agreed with your perspective. Thanks for the additional info!

Kara, you raise an excellent point. I have been known to eat for emotional reasons, and it got me to 150 . . . But Gilly said this doesn't happen often and she was hungry for more food in general....

1600-1700 calories a day. Loosing about a pound a week.

Personally, I listen to my body. You said it doesn't happen that often. But, I wouldn't have any more oatmeal. Extra carbs generally leave me feeling less satisfied. If I am still hungry, I...

I agree with Kara, too. You can draw a firm boundary without being mean or angry, just clear.

I usually say, "thank you for your concern, but I've found a healthy lifestyle that works for me and...

NROL4W - agreed. At 5'3, 113, you won't see abs until you build some muscle.

An often over-looked point! Also, "protein shake" could mean anything and those vary widely in caloric content.

I have learned not to trust Oxygen. . .

I use dailyburn for calorie counting...

By my calculations you should be eating 52-87 g fat. Read Emma-leigh's sticky. Fats will help you stay full and satisfied when eating on a deficit.

Yup.

^^This. EAT!

Hi Alexis,

You are right, there is a lot of confusing information out there! On this site, pay attention to posts by Emma-leigh, Kimm4, and Kfisherx and anyone who works with their line of...
