While it is true that to lose weight, a calorie deficit must be achieved no matter where you get those calories, I really hope that isn't what you guys are doing. I mean, counting calories is a good thing if that works for you, but I want to urge you all to keep your consumption HEALTHY, at least 85% of the time. This means eating as clean much as you can (meaning all natural, local, organic, etc.) to truly help your body. It'll help keep you fuller longer, and unprocessed foods make you feel better in the long run, anyway :) This is all about HEALTH, and "low-fat" and "low-sugar" foods are not always good for you. I'm only posting this because I drank a Coke Zero today, and I really wish I hadn't. Artificial sweeteners are worse than real sugar :c Alright, I'm done now, but I hope you guys seriously keep this in mind :)

I used to purge a LOT, to the point where my throat was constantly sore and I cried all the time. It made me feel like crap, so I stopped.

I once beat myself up because of having two sodas. Jessica16.
Reply from Maddie, Age 14 - 01/19/12 - IP#: 208.90.180.xxx Hey Lindsay. About 3 months ago, I was only eating 500-600 calories a day. I was getting tired alot. It was very unhealthy. I did that for 1 month and lost 15lbs, but then gained it all back. Now I'm eating healthy and losing weight the healthy way.
