My names Elena and Im 17..turning 18 in May. Im still in highschool. I might seem young but dont let the age fool you ive dealt with on and off eating disorders since I was 10. Every eating disorder you name it and ive had at one point in my life. At age 15 the binge eating started and so did the diet and binge cycles. Since then Ive lost and gained the same 40lbs 8x in the last 2 and a half years through strict dieting and bad binge eating cycles. Im about to be 18 and I want a change in my life. I want to have a normal relationship with food and I want to lose the weight and keep it off for good. I have 50lbs that im hoping to lose by the first of May. May is prom and its also my birthday so that makes a perfect deadline. I’m starting over on Monday so please wish me luck and please any comments of support would be helpful. If you would like to be a diet buddy with me please tell me and I would be happy to be your diet buddy.The more diet buddys the better! Thankyou very much and I hope to hear your response
Welcome and good luck. 50 pounds by May 1 may be a bit difficult to obtain. About 2 pounds a week is the average loss. It varies with the individual, of course.
thankyou everyone for posting and bargoo you're prob. right. I prob. can do it but it would involve extremes and extremes involves bingeing eventually so I should prob. just try my best and even if im not my goal weight by prom or my birthday to still be happy and still continue with the weightloss.
