The hardest part of my balimia is that i'm the one that cook's all the meals and feeds my family.

I love cooking. Love it. I love all of my friends and family chatting helping out in the kitchen. I love trying new recipes and getting ideas and tips. But sitting at the table knowing I dont want the food in me is the hardest part.

Thank you for reading

And sorry about my spelling. im so not in the mood for doing spell check

Hey same here! Atleast 3 days out of the week, I have to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Everytime I tell my nephew that he has to eat, I feel weird because I sound so hypocritical. I was forced to grow up quick, so along with all the other chores I have had to cook for the family for about 5 years and I've gotten pretty good at it. So it's hard when there's a nice warm meal sitting for everyone and I want it, but I dont.....ughh.

I know how you feel. I have a reputation for my cooking and baking. I love to try new recipes and buy cook books. I take pie making classes, cake decorating, the works. My husband and I both love to cook for friends. The only problem is - I never eat anything I make. When I cook I never taste anything, everyone always asks how I can know how much salt to put in or how to adjust the spices. I guess over the years I have learnt. Before I got pregnant I was a vegan so no animal products at all and that made it easier not to eat cake with eggs in or dishes I prepared with meat. Now that I am pregnant I have added chicken, eggs, dairy etc and I can see why I am gaining so much weight.
I love to make stuff and give it away, my next door neighbour loves me and so does my husbands company. For Christmas I made cookies and fudge and candy for two weeks straight. I then gave it all away. That way I wasn't tempted.

Hey ladies-

I also love to cook!! I live with my sister and I cook for us all the time. I pack our lunches and I always have people over for dinner parties and whatnot and I hardly eat any of the stuff I cook. I do always try it though :) Weird how we all have love for cooking and yet we fear food?!??
Craziness!!

same thing here. if i could, i'd bake everyday! cookies, cake, pie, fudge, anything! my problem is, i always binge on it! i don't give it all away, because i make things that i enjoy and that i want (otherwise it's a waste of my time). i use egg whites, applesauce, etc. so they're lighter and i figure out the exact calorie count of each cookie, 1/8 of a pie, one cupcake, whatever. it's terrible!! but then, even though i allow myself a certain amount (one piece, two cookies, etc.), i always end up binging on the desserts within a couple days!! it's so frustrating because i'd way rather eat homemade cookies than Oreos (which i suppose i also binge on), but i apparently can't keep them in the house! ugh!! it frustrates me so much.

i always think that i'll know i've beat this thing when i can make a pan of brownies, a cake, a pie, whatever, and not have to make sure that it is cut into EXACTLY 16 identical pieces so i know how many calories each one has. wouldn't it be great to just walk up to those brownies and cut a normal (not teensy tiny and not gigantic!) sized piece and not freak out and not end up eating the entire pan!!

that'll be my day!

I can so identify! I was thinking just the other day that I am SOOOOOO tired of baking a batch of cookies for the fam and not eating any until a day or two later when I binge and eat half the batch. Why, oh why, do we do this to ourselves? :confused:

Why, oh why, do we do this to ourselves? :confused:Because it feels good.
