Ohh. I eat sometimes when I am upset. BAD HABIT. And I have gained alot of weight not only from bad eating habits but from my medication and I am trying to lose some. Anyone got any tips on how to get some good weight loss?

there has been a programme here in the UK about limiting your calories and it showed u what 100 calories is equal too..i was shocked! ive been told a couple of things to put weight on so maybe if you do the opposite...i got told to not move after ive eaten a meal, and eat before i go to bed plus the normal stuff like eating high calorie foods etc i've put on half a pound in the last week (yay!) BUT im back to square one because i lost 3 pounds over Christmas somehow :s but now its starting to go on i hope it stays on! onwards and upwards!
I'm in treatment for an eating disorder and am pretty well recovered. I love eating Cliff and other nutrition bars...I used to have to drink Ensure and other supplement drinks but I don't need to anymore.
Being on prednisone all this time helped too lol. Have they considered an appetite stimulator?

No I havent heard anything about diets and EDS apart from eating foods which help strengthen bones etc
I've put on 2lbs in 3 months so I'm hoping thyat sticks around. I have to go back to the dietician in 6 months and then I'm hoping we can go our serperate ways.
I'm sorry your doctors a bit pants with the losing weight stuff, have you roamed the internet? do you have anything like a dietetics or nutrition department at hospital or anything that you could try?
