Hi.
I think you don't need to lose any weight, really, you must be fine like that.
Eating poor meals (specially a poor breakfast) and exercising a lot will not make you slimmer, because you will not be taking good care of your body.
You, as everyone else, need to give fuel to your body so it can work properly.. I can even have the opposite effect: as you don't give enought food to your organism, it will keep every little thing you eat - you can even gain weight that way. I know because it happened to me...
Your friends are trying to help you, listen to them...
If you really want to lose weight, talk to a nutritionist - check at medical schools, for exemple. At universities, doctors aren't usually so expensive.

I'll be here if you need to talk or anything else.

Hi thanks so much for your advice but exercising on little food has made me slimmer. I know people say starving your body will make you fat but that's a little of a lie. When I exercise and cut down my food the weight falls off. For like 2 months I was so busy with work that I ate very little but continued to exercise. I must have lost like 3 stones. Unfortunately i've put on a stone over the last month partly because i've not been working and so have been less active and being bored you tend to eat more. I binged so much last night that I was in pain. I binged saturday, sunday, tuesday yesterday and ive just had a whole tub of ben and jerrys as well as 8 biscuits and 4 toast and its only 12.30pm. Sick I know. I need to burn this all off so i'm going to give myself more time to lose the weight now. So i'm going to give myself the next month to lose a stone which is healthier. I've realised theat when I eat sweet food or sweet drinks even diet drinks it sparks off a major binge but when I avoid these foods I dont binge. I should lose a stone in a month. Averaging 3 pounds a week. The bad thing about binging as soon as you stop the weight drops off and so you think you can afford to eat lots again when really you should just stay healthy.

I know that you cam get slimmer that way, i've gone throw that too! That and even worse things.
But what I said is completelly true: you can also put weight on - it depends on how your organism is working...
And I also know that being bored - specially at home - is and easy path to eat too much. But try not to blame yourself every single time you eat something called "bad". It's done, so let's move forward. Try to do something that keeps you busy, like an hobby, something that you like and that keeps you away from those nasty thoughts...

I assure you it will be a lot more healthier if you try go recover good eating and nourishing habits, like i'm doing now! :) and I feel a lot better - during the first times, I didn't and I felt it was too hard for me. And even now, there are hard days for me, but I just keep fighting this illness.

Ok?

2 point that may help.
1) The binging may be a symptom, not the actual problem With no job and feeling fat, self-confidence may be the problem. You need to deal with that.
2) Eat as much as you like and do not weigh yorself. Between meals eat stick s of raw carrot, sweet potato, celery, cherry toms, avocado etc. Dont have a goal, just eat right, keep exercising and drink water before each meal. You'll feel healthier and more self confident, even if it takes 6 months.

" The problem is I have no job at the moment so that is the only exercise and activity I really have."

Which means you have a ton of free time. Get a hobby.
