I hate gum poppers.6

I get tired of getting asked if I'm on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter etc. etc. No, no, no, no!
It feels like I'm the only one that's not on any social media (other than MFP) these days!ThatUserNameIsAllReadyTaken wrote: »I hate when people say, "make it fit". Yeah, because the two bites that "fit" are going to totally be satisfying aren't they? Sometimes you either have to just bite the bullet and ruin your whole day and pick up again the next day, or just don't make the absurdly high calorie recipes they post here. When it comes to some delicious looking desert that would only "fit" if I had some meager thumbnail sized portion I say no thanks. I would rather not be teased with a bite.
I live by this saying. If I want something high calorie like my yummy homemade frosted chocolate chips brownies and ice cream I plan for it.
I look at my day and I'd either work for some of it (add an some extra cardio) or I will eat a little less or fill up on higher volume foods. Banking calories also works, but I usually save that for my pizza on Friday nights.
It's the best of all worlds for me. I get to eat exactly what I want and I don't gain because I was able to fit it into my day and my calories all balanced out.
Holding out on what I want usually lead to binges, so I had to figure out how I can eat things I want, but still lose/maintain. Planning, portion control and moderation.
I agree with you though, I would not want to eat 2 bites of something tasty. I'd rather not have it.8 -

Avoiding micro portions is what prevents a lot of binging and falling off the wagon. That tiny portion always leads me to pigging out.8 -
Recipes that don't give specific measurements!! No offence to the Americans on here, but what the **** is a cup?? How big of a cup? And a "dash" of soy sauce could be anything from a teaspoon full to a full on tidal wave. And there are times that google won't help at all, it gives you different weights for a cup measurement.

People who don't understand how the ads work on sites like MFP, that complain that MFP is sabotaging them because they get an ad for McDonalds or Dairy Queen...13

I am American and I agree with this... All recipes should be written in metric measurements so much easier to weigh solids. FWIW, at least at my old job as a pastry chef the recipes were in metric form and we weighed everything solid.11 -

These are measurements for volume.
1 cup is 8 oz
3/4 cup is 6 oz
1/2 cup is 4 oz
1/3 cup is 2 1/3 oz
1/4 cup is 2 oz
Then you get into Tablespoons and teaspoons which are 1 oz and less.
Some people like to use measuring cups and some like to weigh. I prefer to use a food scale and weigh out everything in grams. I only use measuring cups if my scale is broken. I will add, sometimes depending on the density of a certain item the weight may not be 8 oz for a cup.

I'll see your Minneapolis and raise you New England. In addition to the above:
A: I'm going slowly!
B: OK, I'll pass you then, no problem.
A: NO! I'll speed up so you don't pass!
B: OK, you're now going the speed I want to go. I'll fall in behind you.
A: OK, now I can slow down again.
or
A: I'm passing you!
B: OK.
A: Now that I'm past you, I'm going to slow down to 5-10 mph less than you were going originally...
or
"Red lights are pretty. They mean to keep going, right?"
or
"Yes, I see you coming with your headlights on. I'm still going to wait until the last moment and pull out in front of you and drive 5-10 mph less than the speed limit."
Among others...27 -
Facebook.. period. deactivated
Never joined. It appears I've missed nothing!
I know a lot of ppl don't like dentists or going but I like my teeth so it doesn't bother me to go. :laugh:Dentistry and people who b1tch about the car being blocked in by snow/ice, but don't lift a hand to go shovel it out.0 -
I hate it when people get legitimately upset over what other people put in their food/exercise diary. Like, why do you care?12

We have ALL of these people too. I'm a former New Yorker so I use my horn when needed, unfortunately I have to use it more in MPLS than I ever did in NYC.
My personal favorite is:
A: Drives straight forward through a green light.
B: Cuts A off to make a left turn.
A: HONK!!!
B: Stop in the middle of the intersection and look around with a confused look to figure out where that offensive noise came from...
A: Screams in car, "THAT WAS MEANT FOR YOU @*^#&!!! GET OUT OF THE @*&$#^@%$ INTERSECTION!!!"6 -
