I’m Cuban so I’m always going to have that extra meat, and im not ashamed of that. i never wanted to be skinny skinny skinny. but i always wanted to weight about 115lbs (camera adds 10 lbs lol)
im very athletic. ive been dancing forever and ive been a dance teacher for 2 years. (and as a young girl, i was always very skinny)
i think my senior year of HS is when i really didnt care about what i ate. i remember eating outback cheese fries like 3/4 times a week (as my meal) lol. i was terrible. so thats what i looked like. i never considered myself fat, i wasnt.
so after i graduated, i started losing weight. my doctor had put me on a diet, actually, cause i had very high cholesterol (since i was 2 yrs old now that i think about it).
so i cut the crap and controlled my eating. i wasnt dieting per say, i remember eating very little actually. i would barely eat breakfast or lunch(i remember eating half a cereal bar for breakfast and the 2nd half for lunch- i know crazy), and then i would have a normal dinner. maybe likeeeeee 500 cal. a day??? hmm…wow. i didnt do it everyday, that would be overestimating my self control lol. i never STOPPED eating but i did eat LESS and i ended up losing about 15lbs. the lowest i went i think was like 123lbs. and it would fluctuate. i looked like this –>

Yes my family noticed, everyone did. and sometimes my mom would be sarcastic and mumble words about me being annorexic or something. but they knew i wasnt cause i was eating. My family really didnt see me during the day so they couldnt have known if i was eating breakfast or lunch, which i really wasnt that much.
so its been about a year since i lost those pounds and its been getting harder. ive lost the control to eat less(even tho i know its wrong) and ive been eating so much!!!! to the point my stomach feels like its gonna explode!
ive always had a very strong stomach and been a big eater. im always willing to eat something. i dont understand! even though my stomach is very full. i still want that cinnamon roll and those cookies lol. if the food is in my face, i’ll eat it! sometimes i can control myself and sometimes i cant. i weight like 127 now. thats my norm. (its just this past couple weeks, man… ive been eating wayyyy too much – obese portions lmao)
the main reason why i want to lose weight is cuz i have this like sick obsession with my arms! i’d kill for skinny arms. im okay with the rest of my body but i want my arms skinny and i’d have to lose weight for that. obviously i wont mind the rest of my body skinnier but i blame my arms lol.
i always find myself staring at skinny girl’s arms. its annoying
and all i can think about is food. what am i gonna eat. whether or not i should binge today or what.
ive never thrown up after i ate too much though. im not gonna lie, i tried like twice in my life but only because the feeling in my stomach was unbearable like it was hard to breathe.
i dont know what to do. i dont know how to control my eating and eat normal sized portions. i feel like ive tried everything. i tried to write down everything i was going to eat the next day and ONLY eat what i write so i wouldnt be tempted to eat anything else and that only worked for like 2 days lol.
and they say your stomach is the size of your fist and if you eat portions bigger than the size of your fist, you’re stretching out your stomach, making your appetite bigger. ive been trying to eat fist portions but you know that doesnt work lol i’ll always eat more.
What i need is like a nutritionist to follow me around and only let me eat what im supposed to lol.
do you know any reasons for my appetite being so big ALL the time??? any ways I can stop binging?? and ways to suppress my appetite??? (no pills lol) and do i have an eating disorder???
so yeah if you have any insight on this situation please help me! with each day im losing more of my self control and im going to go crazy!
(God Bless You if you read this whole thing lol)

Hey guys like most people in the U.S. I’ve always struggled with my weight. As child I was pump with massive amounts of Asthma and Bronchial medication that had a lot of hormones and Steroids that always keep-ed me at a much larger size that the children around me. When I reached my teenage years I became anorexic and it was the only time my body lost a lot weight (50 lbs in two months), but my body was never the same. But once again I ballooned out until I did the Atkins diet (the right way) and lost a lot weight. Again I just ballooned back up.
In 2006 I got sick of being so big ( I’m 5′8″ and 280lbs) and did it all over again, but this time I did the slow and steady. Doing the life changing effort of eating right, exercising, food portioning, lots of water, the work, but yet once I lost about 50 pounds it’s been an uphill battle since then. Since then my body has been bouncing between 210 and 230 and it’s not getting any better. I went to the doctor an got my thyroid check and it turns out that it was normal. At this point I don’t know what else to do.
I done the eat to small meals all day and I gained more weight. I’ve varied my work out plan, and i exercises 5 times a week for 1-2 hours a day ( mainly long endurance power walks, and small lifting) I can’t run.. i really hurts my damage knees . I’ve done the “fiber 35 diet”, the “Atkins Diet” the “Blood Type diet”, and the “2 Day Diet Pills” nothing.
I’m not sure what else to do. So far the only thing that I’ve been able to do to keep my weight in check is weight my self every day. Literally. I have a steady sleeping schedule, no high blood pressure, no high cholesterol, and been trying to keep my life as low stress as possible. I’m open to suggesting because at this point the doctors just keep telling me that I’m healthy just over weight. Wow thanks for the news flash doc… thanks

I am a 21 year old female. Since last fall I have been experiencing extreme fatigue, low blood pressure, dizziness, stiff joints, unrestful sleep, weight gain, brown spots on my skin, diarrhea, nausea, borderline high blood sugar (120 to 130 fasting), and pain the left side of my lower back. I have gone to the doctor 3 times complaining. Basic blood work was ran as well as my thyroid. My thyroid came back 3.5. My blood sugar not high enough to be considered diabetic. My good and bad cholesterol were very low. Last September I weighed 115lbs. I gained 35lbs in 3 months. I now weigh 150lbs. I run 2mi 5x a week, take a step class once a week, and lift weights 2x a week. I eat between 1,000 and 1,800 calories a day. I don’t drink soda or eat a lot of junk. My diet mainly consists of fruit, veggies, and turkey or chicken. I am becoming so tired I can barely stay away or exercise! I sleep 12 to 14 hours most days. My Mom is diabetic, high bp, hypothyroid. I don’t know my Dad.
