Read this quote somewhere. Haven't felt thin in sometime, but I remember how it great felt when I was thinner and more fit!! Trying to stay motivated to give up (reduce) tasty treats to eventually feel thin!!! 
On that note, Happy Wednesday everyone.....stay on track!!!

Agreed!! Why can't I be "thin" (fit) and eat good tasting things?0 -
If you want to get motivation for loosing weight, skip in front of a mirror.0

You can still eat all the foods & lose weight at the same time. It's all about moderation.0

I wish I could....cheesecake does taste pretty awesome. But that awesomeness lasts a few minutes, feeling thin/fit lasts forever!0 -
How about "Being fit is great. Food is pretty yummy too, but don't eat too much."0

That's true. However, I am not at that place yet. I often find myself going for seconds or eating large piece of whatever it is. For me, right now, it's best to stay away and then I can have a treat over the weekend or something. Hopefully some day I will be at a place where I can just eat very small helpings of treats and feel satisfied!0 -
Moderation feels pretty good to me. I feel like crap when I sit around denying myself the things I want. You'll get there.0

The irony if that quote was found in a fortune cookie0

Yeah I was fit once, but last nights pizza tasted better..lol0

Baby steps! My favorite saying is that you eat an elephant one bite at a time, no matter how large the elephant. This blog post might inspire you as it did me. Best of wishes to all on your healthy lifestyle change. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/BombshellPhoenix/view/my-1200-calorie-story-7054820

Good grief, I hate that saying. A lot of things taste better than skinny feels (just ask Jennifer Lawrence). For instance...cake, cookies, brownies, ice cream, pasta, fried chicken, cheese, french fries, etc. What's great is that you can be "skinny" (if that's what you want to be; I'd rather be strong, hot, and fit) and still eat all of those things. I certainly still eat those things and still managed to drop nearly 30 lbs. That quote is just pushing the completely false notion that delicious, high-calorie foods are the enemy and they're not. We can't blame food here. The food itself isn't the reason we get fat - it's the amount of it that we ate; it's our lack of willpower and our skewed idea of what a portion actually is.
I also hate the saying, "Eat to live. Don't live to eat." That's just stupid. We ALL eat to live, but we can enjoy food as well without being obese. Plenty of people manage to do this. It's when you completely deny yourself foods you love that you set yourself up for failure. Trust me, that Oreo is not the enemy - and it's effing delicious. Just don't eat the whole pack.
IIFYM. No food is off limits.0 -
Cheese does.0

I don't know, the giant cookie I purchased with my lunch (salad) yesterday tasted pretty good0

:laugh: See this is where you're wrong. Oreo's are rank. They have such a cheap nasty after taste. Nope nope nope. Step away from the evils of Oreos. Have something far nicer instead like the traditional bourbon biscuit. Now that is a biscuit worth scoffingLyndseyLovesToLift wrote: »Trust me, that Oreo is not the enemy - and it's effing delicious.
(The rest I agree with.)

Okay so this post has generated some passionate responses like the ones above. My intention was not to blame the food or promote total denial or anything like that. I'm at a place on my journey where I am unable to stick with moderation. I thought this quote will help me stay motivated to avoid foods until I'm at a place where I can actually practice moderation. I was feeling motivated and excited so I shared it. Clearly, it was a bad idea because there seem to be too many people opposed to this quote.....
I wish people would understand not everyone is at the point where they can successfully practice moderation. Sometimes it may help to quit something cold turkey for a while....Just because you can practice moderation successfully, it doesn't mean everyone else can.0 -
Nothing tastes as good as a box of Cheez-its while watching Biggest Loser0

I never liked that quote as I believe you can have your cake, eat it and still be fit! lol0

People willingly trade optimal health for the fleeting pleasures of junk foods.
I was that guy but no more!

I never understood this. Are you saying someone can't be fit and eat chocolate? Are you saying that if I eat chocolate that I will immediately turn into a mush of fat with no muscle?
Oh, and Happy National Chocolate Day!0 -
I am fit and food still taste awesome. In fact I can eat more now than I ever did and my diary would make a clean eater faint0
