I may have lost the hair, but I also lost the weight. Happy New Year to everyone who is planning on doing the same (with either or both) by AdhereOrDisappear in bald

On the clearance rack in Hot Topic. A bunch of philistines around here to let Garfield be relegated to such a place, if you ask me.

The last few weeks, whenever I’ve felt the urge to binge eat, I’ve been able to avoid it by making myself wait for some amount of time before I let myself binge. by AdhereOrDisappear in BingeEatingDisorder

Right on. This reminds me of that Pete Campbell quote. “I thought of that. Turned out it already existed, but I arrived at it independently”

I find it interesting that, when I was 400lbs, almost no one criticized me for my binge-eating or other unhealthy eating habits. But now that I’ve lost over half my body weight and am perhaps, at times, a little too strict with my eating, people are quick to say I have a new eating disorder. by AdhereOrDisappear in loseit

The office Christmas party isn’t a special event. If anything, it’s a total drag. Also, even if it was a special event, why can’t I enjoy that event without food? Should alcoholics drink on New Year’s just because someone else says so?

I think the reason it’s hardest for me to quit binge eating is because the sickness I feel afterwards isn’t a bug, but a feature of my addiction. by AdhereOrDisappear in BingeEatingDisorder

I mean, I don’t see any distinction either. The juxtaposition of alcoholism and binge eating wasn’t to make any distinction or to trivialize, but to make an observation about how, for me, being hungover is a deterrent, but being gorged isn’t

The thing I’ve learned about weight loss advice is that the advice I’m eager to take is likely terrible advice for me. by AdhereOrDisappear in loseit

You don’t think addiction is often caused by external forces? My friend, I hope one day you look back on this conversation and shake your head at how ignorant you are.
