So, in my ripe age of 28.

I'm packing on the pounds. None of my clothes fromn last summer are comfortable, and some of them I can't even BUTTON!!!!

But yet.....I continue to eat.

Does this mean I'm happy with my life?? Content?

So I'm just not gonna go on a diet?

Normally I'd be binge dieting at this point, but no....I keep eating.

I'm losing my weight again.


Problem is I"m losing size in my arms and chest, but I'm all about not caring anymore.

I need to lose weight. When I went away to school, I lost some because I had to walk everywhere and the food was nasty,so I didn't want to eat much

I need to start working out to keep the weight off

No, just married.

Well.

A girl like me cannot afford not to care!!!!!

TotalANXiousNESS said:

Put those chips down...Im 27 and the heaviest I have been is 260. im 5'11 on a good day though. What ur situation means is that eventually you will most likely keep eating and begin to hate the way you look which will have a negative affect on ur attitude and overall outlook.

WRONG ANSWER!!!

You were SUPPOPSED to say.

Your not fat Dani!

TotalANXiousNESS said:

How would I know?

TotalANXiousNESS said:

I'm sorry, but that sentence is too hard to understand right now. I'm still dizzy from yardwork in 96 degree, 100 humidity, Central Floridan hell.

Imago said:

Is that like, code for something?

OMG, the org ruins everybody.

Now if somebody asks me if I want a chilli dog, I'm like "You nasty bastard!!!!"

TotalANXiousNESS said:

Send me some naked pics and I'll be glad to tell you.

When you place restriction on foods...it becomes more appealing to eat it.

I'm doing something that is really helping. Taking the magic away and allowing myself to eat whatever. I've actually learned to listen to my bod and now since I've been eating what I want, I gravitate to better, helathier food.

I also snack all day versus thre big ol meals.

It's also not about the weight. I've packed the skinyy chick clothes away. You think it's motivating, but it's not. It's more damaging.


I tell you...today's world got every woman with an eating disorder...I swear

preach sister!

Ace said:

See my post above. this is what a lot of therapists ask you to do in binge eating recovery

Ace said:

OMG honey, no I'm totally not bulemic.





Fuck this shit.

I should take smoking back up.

THATS what the problem is!!!

Ace said:

Lemme drop 20 lbs first.

I'm overwieght and not happy but thats my own fault I need to workout, I know this and dont do it, I have no one to blame but myself And of course it healthier

veronikka said:

I have the same problem . . . I try to eat healthily, but I'm lazy as hell

Shit...I trained and ran a half marathon and still got extra love.

It is what it is. I'm just trying to reframe my thinking.

Parents think they gotta make sure their kids don't blow up but give them a complex and create a crazy situation in their heads...

I'm on a soapbox now. BECAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT BAAAD FOOD! It's about the restrictive nature we place on it.

veronikka said:

If you say so. I havent seen a fullbody photo of you. but "overweight" by whose standards. Alot of it depends on how people carry their weight. but whatever it is so far I admire u accepting the blame. alot of people dont. they make excuses. as I said I was 260...right now im trying to get healthier by the day. FYI, I just ate some trader joes turkey meatloaf with fresh spinach...yummy...

jess555ja said:

I know my brother has been after me to go workout with him for the past 2 weeks, I told him we would go for sure today Im crossing my fingers
I should at least workout if Im not going to eat healthy. Usually when I start working out I want to eat healthy anyway so it works out for me

Jaythestar7 said:

Yeah and thays why you wont see one

For the most part I eat healthy.

Its just the past month or two. I'm like a pig. And I gain weight fast....so its starting to show.

veronikka said:

fair enough

Fat women have (very often) huge, desirable tits, which is an advantage, but instead the dicks of the fat men doesn't get larger; that's not fair...

But nope.

No such luck.

Not pregnant. Just fat.
