You know what Adam everyone wants quick results when it comes to getting their body like they want but I am glad to hear that you rethought your decision to become bulimic. Exercising and eating right is the way to go. Getting results take time and it is time you have to put in. I hate going to the gym and eating things that I don't want and mostly giving up my favorite sweets but it was a price I was willing to pay and in 2-3 months I saw my results and wents down from 182 to 156 and was contempt with it. Now I am 5 months pregnant and see my weight climbing back up but not a much because I still exercise and eat right. Just keep in mind change is a gradual step and if possible join a gym because no matter want you do at home you need some type of strength traing besides aerobic exercise. Strength training help tone your body and turn the fat into muscle and aerobic exercise help burn the fat and is good for your heart and lungs but when you do both forms of exercise you be surprise with your results. Oh yeah and don't forgot a good diet. Good Luck!

You find something that comforts you, makes you feel better. Puking after eating, or working out. You vomit and you feel skinnier, you feel prettier. This can easily become addictive. So, the assumption that you will be able to stop when it's "enough" isn't necesarily reality. I've seen it happen.

There are small changes that you can make to lose weight. What is your goal weight? Or perhaps goal clothing size? Replacing a daily soda with water. Replace a peiece of cake with a peice of fruit. It's amazing, I promise.

I am very thankful for everyone's help here! I would like to get back down to 200 lbs. I am at 235 right now. I am actuall still wearing the same pant size that I was wearing when I weighed 200. I have moved up to a large in shirt size, and I'm hoping an XL is far away.

Do you really think that changing out a few things would help a bit?

ChihuahuaMomma is right. Try replacing things like she suggested. I think you got a lot of good advice in this thread!

Also, try eating 5 small meals/day. Definitely eat breakfast and never eat anything after dinner (7ish). Try this and walk 1 hour/day... you might find an improvement.

OK so either you are a very very sad girl or just totally bonkers

Firstly no men like a size 0 or even an 8 for that matter, stop looking at magazines that is not the ideal, learn to be happy within yourself, I am a size 14 and bloody proud, I have a lovely husband who adores my shape. As my mum says never change yourself to impress others always find someone who is happy with you the way you are!

Thanks a lot carrie. It is kind of funny that you thought I was a girl. I am actually a guy. I was being depressed about my own weight because I can not find a good girl, and I am not that out of shape, but there is some reason that I can't get a girlfriend. My friends and all there girlfriends say that I am the nicest guy in the world, so it is not that. I am not going to become bulimic. With all the help here, I realize that would be a really serious problem!

Thanks!

Adam,

It may not be the weight that is at issue with you not getting a girlfriend. Maybe personality. How old are you?

Maybe your meeting the wrong girls but there is someone for everyone and oneday you will met your match.

I think and I am told that I have a great personality. I am not trying to sound conceided or anything, but I don't think my personality is the problem. I am 19 by the way. I know that is young, but you would be surprised if you met me. I am very mature for my age.

Thanks!

Thank you! I am sure you are right!

Chances are you are meeting the wrong women at the wrong places. While I am a GREAT bit older than you, my husband weighs more than you. I am conceited to a point and love a man that is much more lean, but he is the best man in the world, to me and our children. Chances are, you just have not yet met the right woman and she is out there just waiting for you.

I couldn't give J_9 another greenie, but I absolutely agree. Where are you meeting girls at?

Thank you very much! I really hope so! I am tired of hoping to find that girl, but on the other hand, I am young and have a lot of time, but I would really like to be in a nice loving committed relationship!

Thanks!

She's out there Adam, you just haven't turned the right corner yet.

I really don't have many chances to meet girls. I work with about 20 guys at my job, and I work with one girl, and she is married. So, that is out of the question. I work 6-5 Monday through Friday, so that doesn't leave me a whole lot of time! I have tried meeting friends of some of my girl friends. That usually doesn't work out. I have done a few other things to try and introduce myself to a girl to get her number, just at random places. It just seems impossible sometimes. I seem out of the dating thing. I wasn't to get back in it though. Some girls I am tense around and some girls I am completely comfortable around as soon as I meet them, but I lose them somehow.

Thanks!

Thank You!

It's always a surprise. She will show up when least expected. Trust me, been there done that, got the T-shirt.

Maybe the best trick is to stop looking.

Sometimes when you looking for someone you can't find them but when your not looking your find it. So relax and that someone will come into your life when you least expect it.

Maybe I am looking to hard. I would think you are right, and when I am not expecting it I will find her! Or at least I hope so. Later!

WHAT?? That leaves evenings and the whole weekend. I work 65-80 hours a week, and STILL manage to have time for friends and meeting someone new if that were my interest.
