B:

I sometimes get discouraged when I read some of these posts...it seems some of you hardly eat anything. How restricted are you???

Bella, don't be discouraged. Some has more restriction. I finally have some restriction but before that I was on willpower (I just don't make wise food choices sometimes). This a good place to post cause it keeps you accountable. I journal my food here. You can also get good ideas for your meals.

bella, a lot less makes a good point...many posting are at different stages of restriction. i have 7.3cc in a 10cc band, and for the most part - have the restriction that allows me to eat most things/most days & stay in my calorie requirments. good luck to ya!!!
