May 10th
January 26 was D-day for me; I quit cold turkey. As expected, I gained about 15 pounds and I did not let it bother me at first. At this same time, I adopted healthier (believe it or not) eating habits of eating breakfast, usually no more than 2 cups of high fiber cereal or a piece of fruit on my way to work. Then for lunch, I will have whole wheat bread (or whole wheat tortilla) with mustard and one slice of cheddar cheese and an apple. Finally, for dinner, I will have either a large lettuce or baby spinach salad (whole dinner plate) with boiled egg or garbanzo beans as my protein. If we eat out, I still choose a salad with meat on it, because I know the meat portion will still not be over at least4 to 6 ozs. My “snacks” are usually dry roasted pumpkin seeds. I am still hanging right on 140, despite what I do. I am very frustrated, and my husband likes me at 125, so it is effecting our love life. The only thing I know to do is totally quit eating like I did to get to 125, before I tried to opt for a “healthier” approach to diet(ing). I do not consume any sugar (knowingly, anyway) and consciously choose whole wheat carbs or none at all. I am trying to eat my 5 a day of FRESH fruits and vegetables and try to limit meat and dairy consumption. I speed walk for 30 minutes to an hour (depending on weather) 4 or 5 times a week.
Any experiences or wisdom is VERY MUCH appreciated.

May 9th
I really really really need emotional and factual help right now. I’m about to break down!!! I’ve been trying so hard this past summer to get over my binge eating disorder. My problem is that if I don’t eat perfectly, then I binge in crazy amounts (until i am in so much pain, i cry and cant even breathe). I lost alot of weight this summer and am now 5’7″ and 115 pounds, but this does not mean that I am over my BED or not in the position to gain weight again (I gained 40 pounds in my first year of college last year). So this weight loss has been siginifcant to me, but since I’ve been depriving myself so much and only makng myself eat healthy foods, this past week, i can’t can’t can’t stop thinking about FOOD. I crave eveyrthing, and the worst part is, I don’t just let myself have what I want, I eat everything i can put my hands on and don’t stop until I am on my bed sobbing in pain and food coming up my throat (but i can’t purge).
Yesterday in one sitting (I ate for three hours straight), I ate:
-4 slices of bread with butter, peanut butter and jelly
-5 Russian tea cakes
-2 Oreo wafer sticks
-Bowl of rice
-3 Mozzarella cheese sticks
-1/2 bag of dark chocolate pomegranate
-1 slice of pizza
-1/2 can of almonds
-1 Kashi Bar
-Salmon and Albacore Sushi
-Cheerios
and today I ate in one sitting after dinner:
-Pumpkin porridge
-1 Bag of Honey O’s Cereal (the whole box)
-1/2 box of Count Chocula or whatever cereal
-5 Russian Tea Cakes
-Bowl of rice with butter
-a slice of bread
Right now, I am laying down crying because I feel like all of my hard work this summer has gone to waste, and I feel so helpless and hopeless and I feel like I am just going to be the same all over again. I am SO scared I don’t know what to do.
Please, anybody who has experience, please tell me what damage I am doing, the reality of everything I did just now, how much weight I will gain, and what I should do to get back on track and how long I am going to feel shitty. My face is extremely swollen and puffy from binging like this right before I went to sleep and I can’t even move right now. I just really need emotional support too. Please anybody!!! :[ :[ :{

May 4th
I grew up in Michigan, so for me, “traditional” Thanksgiving dishes are turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes & gravy, candied yams, succotash (a casserole with corn and lima beans) corn bread or dinner rolls, fruit salad, and of course, pumpkin, cherry, and mincemeat pies. So, which state do you come from, and what are your favorite traditional T-day dishes?
I’m especially interested to know if folks in the coastal states serve any kind of fish – like lobster in Maine or pickled herring in Florida. Thanks for all of your answers so far!
