Been struggling with restricting a lot.

Everytime I start to think about maybe just accepting my body the way it is, I either find something wrong with it or become fearful I will get overweight if I eat how I want. I love food. There was a time junior/senior year where I ate whatever I wanted and still didn't binge, my set weight was kind of high but I still looked okay and was happy. This summer I flew into binge territory and gained five pounds over my set weight. I just want to be able to eat whatever I want, grilled cheese and chips and cake, without binging. I don't want to plan meals or be a health eater. That works to some, to me it doesn't. But I'm fearful I can't find that balance without being obese.
I've lost 11 pounds, still at a healthy weight, just lower BMI. I don't feel in too much danger but if I lose much more we'll have to see.
Still fighting for my happiness!

I know. I have had all of those feelings at one time or another. I think from what you have said in your past two entries you are well on your way to finding a balance that works for you.
I wish you could stop fretting about it so but I fret too so I get that.

I wish I could just eat whatever I want all the time but i know I cant without getting HUGE.

So just eat what you want but not all the time.

You will work it out.

KEEP fighting for your happiness!!!! That is so worth fighting for!!!!

How did you go about losing your 11 pounds?
Was it in a healthy way?!

Don\'t JUST consider all the things you have mentioned here.
Also consider what a healthy diet consists of.

It\'s not enough to be the weight you want.
How you get there counts too, if you are to be healthy as well as \'slim\'!!!!

I\'m sorry it\'s a bit more of a problem right now.
You sound very determined, though!!!
Do the right thing and stand strong!!!

never lose sight of your happiness!!!!
That\'s kind of the name of the game, in life!!!!
