I have some time before I go to work, so I decided I'd tell you about my past habits before I met some helpful people along the way. I used to eat a small, unhealthy breakfast consisting of white bread and sweets. Then, I 'd pig out for lunch and have 2 or more pieces of cake for dessert. Then, half an hour before dinner, I'd eat 7 or 8 cookies hoping I'd spoil my appetite so I don't have to eat so much. Well, in reality, the cookies are higher in calorie than dinner itself. It didn't work, of course, and I ate a huge dinner and didn't stop until my stomach hurt. I felt like crap afterward, so I thought, "well since I screwed up today, I might as well eat more". So before bedtime EVERY NIGHT, I'd eat several donuts or half a box of Pot of Gold chocolates or a peanut butter sandwich. I couldn't sleep at night because my heart was beating so fast and my stomach hurt so much. NOW, I eat whole-wheat bread and fruit for breakfast, sushi or sandwich for lunch, meat and veggies with rice for dinner and fruits for snacks. I also do 50 crunches before bedtime. I treat myself occasionally, but I don't eat until it hurts. I sleep better now and I feel more in control of myself. Dieting is really a change in lifestyle more than anything. What were your old habits (if you've changed them)? ~~MissyK~~

Reply from To Emily, Age 15 - 06/29/04 - IP#: 207.69.137.xxx i did the same thing and I still do! If i screwed up on my diet, I'd just be like "well I messed up and im already fat it won't make a differnece if i eat more, plus I'll start my diet fresh tommorow" well thing is, this went on everyday without me realizing how fat I had acutlly gotten, it pains to say that but I know its what alot of us need to hear, that we are overweight and need to lose weight for our mind,our health and the rest of our life. I still have this urge to binge and night which im working on....i just hope I can do this tinill august when i laeve for camp!
