How I did it: I've been binge eating since i was in the fourth grade. The thought, over eating = excess calories = gaining weight never occured to me LOL. I remember my first stretch marks, and I was like, 8. I asked my mom what they were and she told me they would go away. But they never did, and I was never self concious about it until about fifth grade. I told a boy I liked him, and he told me I could be his girlfriend if I lost 50 pounds. At that time I was nowhere near that much overweight, but it sure as hell scarred me LOL. I haven't bluntly told a guy I liked him since then, and the events afterward lead to me reaching 220 pounds over the last 6 years. In 2007 I decided to stop binging and watching what I ate, and I went down to about 180, where I currently am now and still working on. I'm glad I stopped, and it took alot of self control :D PHEW!

Lessons & tips: Small plates, and having only one or two of something that is of a decent size. You know you'll feel sick and feel like shit afterwards, so just keep that in mind before you gorge yourself. Whenever i thought i'd overeat i'd grab my stomach and pinch at my rolls, and it made me think better LOL

Resources: me, myself, and i. my family doesnt care too much about my weight, except for when i gain they talk shit so. NO PROPS FOR DEM!
