Sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong (now that's pretty typical! Sigh, the first step is admitting I have a problem):
Luvey, you say some very contradictory things. One thing that jumps out at me is that you say you have no money for a couple new pairs of pants, which is why you "have" to lose 10 lbs. But the next thing you know, you've joined a gym.
?????
Luvey, I think maybe what you need is for somebody to listen to you. I don't think this is about weight, it isn't about pants, it isn't about whether you should stop eating at 5:30 PM or 5:32 PM. I think you need some attention that people can't really give you here, at least not long-term. Maybe if you found someone to sit down and talk with? You have a lot to say, a lot to get off your chest, but nobody here is a therapist (and I mean that gently)...we all give eachother advice based on very, very, very limited information...I mean how much do we really know about eachother? What if we all tell you to go ahead and lose those 10 more lbs. but we don't know that you've secretly been bingeing? (Not saying YOU have, just saying "you" as in anybody, in any circumstances, posting on a message board; and just trying to give a for-instance).
I am somebody's mommy and that's why your posts seem to me to be a young girl just asking somebody to listen to and pay attention to her. But you know, a lot of people here are investing a lot of time (with repetitive posts, answering the same questions over & over again) and a LOT of emotion because people are worried about you...or at least worried based on the limited amount we believe we know about you.
You have a few things to sort out...and that's no crime...almost nobody comes through childhood unscathed, and this time is a very transitional one for you, and hard to deal with. I'm just putting it out there that maybe you can make a call to someone and see if you can start seeing perhaps a therapist. Nothing major, just to talk.
I know you have no insurance but you can go to a doctor instead of paying gym dues...cancel your gym membership & work out from home. There is always a way. I will be thinking about you. I hope it all turns out okay for you.
