Default Help me brainstorm ideas for website name for weightloss/eating disorders

This website will be about weight loss as well as overcoming Binge Eating Disorder/ Bulimia/ Emotional Eating

Awhile ago I came up with the name "access easy weight loss"

which I titled a blog as well as the YouTube channel...

I first created a twitter account called "binge eating" which I abandoned in favor of the twitter account I called "eweightloss"

but now that i think about it, "access easy weight loss" sucks right?

It's too long and unmemorable I think.

So help me brainstorm some new ideas for a website name??

Don't worry about checking if the website name is already taken just brainstorm whatever you can think of for now! ^ ^ I'll check later.

OR if you see a brainstormed Idea you like just post that one again.

Thank you so much <3

You're going to do a blog on losing weight and overcoming eating disorders? Isn't that a conflict of interests?

My thoughts exactly. For example: i am a smoker. I'm working on becoming a non-smoker but until i AM it would be very hypocritical of me to teach others to quit, see? How can you teach others to be achieve weight loss when you haven't found a healthy balance yet?

I think the idea in itself is lovely, but are you sure this is the ideal time for you to tell others how to have something you do not have?

Anyway, I like "healthy mind and body" kind of title

Some idea I came up with:

If you switched it to eating disorders/weight loss, you could go with the website, "Binge and Purge"!

Man I'm helpful.



<serious>

I'd focus on one or the other. Create one website, build it up and move onto the other.

And whatever name you decide to use later, I think after all it's just a label, pls pick a cool one ASAP and get yr site start rolling, the world is waiting for your lovely project

I had experienced food disorder myself in the past and it took me yrs to walk out of it, live a healthier & lighter life again. And I believe if you can help others conquer the problem for less time with less effort it would be really awesome^^
Keep r'cking, *roxyruby*

All I could think of was "Get the Skinny," which bothered me until I saw Mounds' post.

@roxyruby, it's not uncommon for people to try to help others who have the same issues they do, but I don't know how helpful you can be, given that you seem to have both an eating disorder and a skewed body image. How do you help people work through stuff if you haven't come out the other side yourself?

Well said. You aren't gonna be taken too seriously by the people who need help with it, if you are still struggling yourself, though it could be a good support group, where you can all rant and vent about how you feel

Perhaps she's going to talk about her journey and teach other people what she has found helpful and what not?

The interesting thing is that people who aren't very successful at what they teach can actually be much smarter at it than people who are successful at it. For instance, a fat guy can be much smarter at building muscle than someone who is very muscular. Also, can someone who hasn't lived to 100 years teach other people how to maximize their chances of living that long?

Thank You!!! Yes I am sharing what helps me on my journey!!! ^-^ I have a passion. I lost 7kg recently and even though I put the weight back on, it really is an achievement since I had been trying to consciously lose weight for 8 years and only just did it. For me was like "achieving the impossible." I have read probably over 6 or 7 books so far on weight loss techniques (including the psychology part and focusing on the mind) and overcoming b.e.d/bulimia.

Steve said once that many more people need help with beginner-level concepts than expert-level concepts, so you don't have to be an expert at something to provide value to others.

I like the names with "light" in them, kind of a double meaning.

See everybody? She has read books on this topic, she has experimented things on her own. It would be hypocrite if she had no clue about what she was talking about. If people dismiss her information because she still hasn't overcome her problem, then it's their loss. I wouldn't personally reject anyone's information, not matter how dumb they were. You need to verify if the information is true and works anyway!

No one is saying RR hasn't researched the subject. I'm fairly sure RR knows a lot about it, since it seems to be somewhat of an obsession for her.

The point is, will other people take her website seriously when she is still struggling with an eating disorder? It's not about whether she knows enough...it's all about credibility! Just because you find her plight credible because she has shared that books have been read, doesn't mean the whole market of people RR will be aiming at will!

Most people who start these sort of websites have had the experience of, for example, escaping a Narcisisstic, abusive partner, say. The person comes from a position of having already wrestled his/her demons and come out the other end...not still wrestling with them and making herself the authority on the subject (I'm not saying this is what you are doing either RR).

See what I mean? Believe me, I'd be happy if RR proved me wrong here...really!

Then again, if you market it right, there may be a way where you can capture their attention and get them to relate to you BECAUSE you are still struggling with it? It could happen...

The part I wonder about is whether roxy truly realizes that what she has is an eating disorder. I don't think she does.

I wondered that myself earlier. I think there is some denial there, my personal oppinion, and a desire to be a spokesperson who receives lots of praise for helping others and a sense of being valued for that...nothing wrong with that, of course, as long as the person in that position knows where he/she stands amongst it all...as a person who has an eating disorder.

For me was like "achieving the impossible." I have read probably over 6 or 7 books so far on weight loss techniques (including the psychology part and focusing on the mind) and overcoming b.e.d/bulimia.
This makes me so sad.

I'm so sorry.

Just because you find her plight credible because she has shared that books have been read, doesn't mean the whole market of people RR will be aiming at will!

Most people who start these sort of websites have had the experience of, for example, escaping a Narcisisstic, abusive partner, say. The person comes from a position of having already wrestled his/her demons and come out the other end...not still wrestling with them and making herself the authority on the subject (I'm not saying this is what you are doing either RR).

See what I mean? Believe me, I'd be happy if RR proved me wrong here...really!
Of course I do and I talked about something completely different.

Will this decrease her chances of a successful website? Very likely. But to say that she shouldn't start it (which was the impression I got from most of you) is hypocrite. Do I make sense?
