New here...battling along side with you

[vonrokchik]

Hi! I'm new here.
a little background: I did low carb in 2007, lost a couple of pants sizes. I do battle bulimia, but I've noticed I lose my weight on my good days, more than I had ever lost on my "bad days". I'm recovering, but in the past couple years, my unstable eating habits and bulmia battle has cause my weight to SHOOT up to 210.

I'm ready to begin low carb again, and started today. I had a boiled egg, and some low carb taco salad for lunch that I made...
a few questions:

is anyone else battling buiimia, and weight gain from it?
has anyone started low carb as help to control/lose weight during or after recovery?
and is it better to ease into low carb, or go Full FORCE?

I look forward to your support, and hopefully also being support for you too.

Thanks XOXO!

Welcome to the site and I wish you the best . Full force that way you can get in to ketose and that helps with cravings. If you haven't already pick a plan read all you can about it and then start

New here also, hi everyone!

I've battled my weight all my life and inow more or less my struggle is Binge Eating, I was 225 several years ago and got down to 155 doing Atkins. I quit smoking and gained it all back and then some. Starting from scratch, one of my challenges it not sticking with something, sometimes I will start out in the morning trying to do Atkins, cheating with a carb and then converting to the Carbohydrate Addict's diet by midday and then by the end of the day still not following either. I am at my all time highest and feel like lowcarb is my only hope so today is day one. Wish everyone the best and look forward to supporting you.

I'm also new here and this looked like a good place to jump in. I love your hat Mypoorscale LOL.
I started Atkins on Monday, the 9th. So far so good, but I want results now!
My weight started going up about six years ago and it came on fast and furious. I had been pretty much the same size all my adult life fluctuating a little but always staying around a size 10-12. I gained 60 pounds in five months! I went to my doctor and he basically told me I was fat and needed to exercise. I paid him $120.00 for that enlightenment.
Anyway, since then I've gained 30 more. I did manage to get him to do some blood work and apparently everything is normal. I've tried low cal and can't stand to feel like I'm starving, so I'm giving this a shot.

I hate doctors.Talk about stating the obvious.You think I don't know I'm fat.OMG when did that happen.I can't tell you how many times I've heard you're fat,lose weight.Oh wait,yes I can,everytime I go to the doctor.The problem is they never give you any help towards achieving that goal.I've never had one offer any information about diet,drugs,meal plans,exercise.Even weight loss surgery.Zip,it's like you're fat why waste my time.

Sorry to rant on you.Doctors are one of my biggest peeves.I'm known as a difficult patient because I won't just shut up and do what he says.Drives me crazy.
