Why is it that the people that complain the most about junk food or sugar never have open diaries?
Time for more chocolate

Unhealthy to think like that? No, actually it is unhealthy to eat like that. I wouldn't advocate an alcoholic have a few drinks during the holidays. But, if that works for you. For me, I don't like to fail a few times a year on purpose. Overcoming the temptation is a success. Success motivates more success. Failure just brings you down.
Of course, if you just want to lose weight and healthy eating is of no concern, then just eat all you want on those days and cut back on your calories the next, right?
And as far as depriving yourself of that craving... lol. Just give into them, then. Let me know how that works for you later on. Skip the gym when you don't "feel like it" and dare not push yourself. It might hurt. Get those milks and cookies out.
How is enjoying candy a failure? Today I will go over my calories, but I am still under my maintenance how is that a failure?
I've lost 115 lbs gotten off of 10 our of 14 prescriptions and I eat some kind of dessert daily. When I used to have your all or nothing type mentality in the past I did fail because I was miserable and couldn't stick with it. Already had my milk for the day... no cookies because I want more candy though thanks... maybe tomorrow0 -
I cannot be the only person whose diary today reads:
Breakfast
Fun Size Candy Bar, Snickers. 2 Bars. 160 Calories.
Coffee- Brewed from grounds. 1 Cup. 4 calories.0 -

Because you asked:
I wasn't complaining about junk food nor do I have ill feelings towards it. Why would I? I don't eat it or crave it. Was I commenting about it? yes. it's a forum.
I never enter anything into my diary. Why would I? I don't count calories or keep track of the amount of food I eat to care enough about a diary. I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. (I also eat when I'm full, esp when it's delicious). I do watch the types of food that go into my mouth very carefully and I don't need a diary for that. Just a set of eyes. I'm not on this website for help. I'm on this website to help.0 -

So now choosing to have a few pieces of candy is going to lead us all on a downward spiral to lazytown? What? I think you are projecting your own issues.
Went to the gym this morning and crushed it. Check.
Ate spinach salad and chicken breast for lunch. Check check.
Had a mini twix, mini kit kat and a mini milky way. Check check check.
Yep, it's all going downhill now. I might as well just give up on life. Clearly, I don't have my priorities in order.0 -

When are you going to start helping? All I've seen from you is post bogus crap that's been proven inaccurate many times over.
You are on a site designed around calorie counting, the majority of people using it use that function so how do you help them?

So, you don't count calories, but you are on a calorie counting website to "help" people?
