    If I eat something "bad" in the morning such as a doughnut, it triggers an entire day of bad decisions and in my logic I might as well not go to the gym. ( I know its even more reason to go)
    BUT
    On days where I am "good" it makes me keep consistent and makes me want to go to the gym even more. Weird right ?

    I sometimes follow this logic too. Because, well, if I've eaten crap food all day, working out is going to be hard because I haven't fueled my body properly, so it's just not worth going. :|

    Confession: I am leaving work for the day in 30 minutes and I cannot seem to concentrate long enough to actually get anything done. I'm too antsy.

    I actually had a similar battle with myself last night. I seriously considered skipping the chicken-and-veggies dinner I had planned and having an entire box of Girl Scout cookies instead. The madness didn't last long, but...it was a close thing.

    I know exactly how you feel! Girl Scout cookies are very addicting. My favorite are the thin mints. It's really difficult to only eat a few. Unfortunately they don't have them hear in the Netherlands, but maybe that's a good thing since I can't control myself around them ha ha. :P But good job picking the chicken and veggie dinner instead! It does take a lot of will power to resist girl scout cookies. :)

    Haha, thank you for the congratulations! I was actually pretty proud of myself, so it's good to hear from somebody else.

    Tonight, I'm going to freeze all the cookies I bought so that if I want them, they'll have to take time to thaw, and that will give me time to talk myself out of eating more than I should. lol[/quote]

    That would not help me at all. I think frozen girl scout cookies are delicious, kinda like frozen Reese's peanut butter cups

    This morning I was so happy that my weight finally went down that I did a little dance in the bathroom whilst chanting the new number lol

    I have definitely done this... except my scale's in my bedroom and I have to do it quietly so my husband doesn't wake up and think I'm more of a weirdo than he already thinks I am.

    Thin mints are actually better frozen. Freezing cookies doesn't slow me down one bit.

    That trick has never worked for me. When I want a treat that is frozen I eat it in the frozen state, rarely even defrosting with micro when that option is available.

  • The day my period started I ate an entire pizza and hid it from my fiance.
    quote="MKEgal;31109586"]Just before my period, I get huge cravings for really bad-for-me food... This week, in 2 days I ate a whole package of Oreos. (But I had them with skim milk! Does that help at all?)
    I really wish menopause would happen soon. (No chance; it's probably at least another 5 years away.) :disappointed:
    The rest of the month, I can take it or leave it. Those few days, no cookie or chip is safe.
    I was craving something sweet the other night but had absolutely nothing in the house that would satisfy me except some hot chocolate. So I ate two spoonfuls of the powder. Two spoonfuls. Of the powder.
    I used to do that all the time, but it was more than 2 spoonsful. :sob:
    It's much too good. Now I don't think I even have any in the house.

    I wear the same stinky workout clothes for several days without washing. Ewww gross, I know. Always change my socks though lol
    I always change my socks & underwear, but the shorts, bra, & t-shirt get aired out. In the summer I hang them & my towels on the clothesline outside before I even go into the house from the gym.

    Actually, the bra gets hand-washed once a week. The shorts & shirt, in the laundry maybe every other week. And I was just given a second pair of shorts that fit, so maybe they'll only go for a week from now on! [/quote]

    I can't do any type of jumping jacks or running without my belly smacking the top of my thighs. It's really embarrassing. Going to talk to a surgeon about a panniculectomy. Three kids and yo-yoing between 140 and 252 a few times wrecked my belly.

    I know the feeling. I did squats the other day and gagged a little when my gut was hanging over the sides of my legs.

    I am also like that in the way that I am my busiest during the week, working full-time and going to school, and I can still manage to have energy to work out after, but when I am off on the weekend like Sunday I just can't , its my lazy day and as much as I know I should because I have the entire day of nothing to do, I still don't go.

    For me too but because the donut will not fill me up if it's all I have in the morning. If I have some protein with it, I'm fine... but that's why I love counting calories, makes me realize I still have a lot of calories and there's no need to freak out over a donut. lol.

    Though I initially had no opinion on the subject (aesthetically?) I really, REALLY like having a thigh gap. I don't ever experience chub rub when wearing shorts or skirts (or while running anymore) and my jeans last more than ~6 months because they don't wear out in the thigh scraper region. It's not something I worked for though, just happened naturally at a BMI of 23 or less for me. But I hear people bashing the gap (including mine personally) all the time, so for fear of triggering others, I never have told anyone how I actually feel about it. Don't hate, mate...

    Good for you! I kinda have one but I have some loose skin in my inner thighs that ruins the effect. But I'm completely neutral about them.

    It's funny to me in a weird way that my brother struggles to gain weight while I struggle with obesity and have been overweight since I was a child.

    I once killed a man to gain his strength so I can PR on my deadlifts.

    And did it work? Any side effects?

    Here's my confession: I'm working out, walking, eating a deficient almost everyday and not seeing much movement on the scale. In my udder frustration, I've been taking a diet pill with dinner to maybe help amp up my lose. I feel like I'm cheating like I should be able to do this by myself but I also tell myself that help is ok. Even my doctor ok'ed them once a day as long as I don't rely on them totally and then, just a a tool to get my weight going down but in the back of my mind I feel like a total, udder, useless, lazy, fat loser.

    Wow, that's a bit sadder typed out then just sitting in my head. Aw well.

    I lie about my relationship with my wife to family and friends because I don't want them to think that I am a failure. There that is off my chest.

    You kinda wrote what I'm feeling in the back of my head. Working out everyday, healthier choices, displaying will power, and the scale hasn't moved at all. Granted its only been a week of the working out but 2 of the cutting calories and eating at a deficit, but what the hell? I am also taking Meratrim that is supposed to aid weight loss with a healthy diet and exercise but some people need more help than others right ? I was trying to help but we are in the same boat.

    I was going to eat clean during the day today so I could go out to a birthday dinner guilt free tonight...

    Started the day with the McDonald's drive thru and then ate a gas station donut that someone brought into work.

    WHOOPS

    Confession: I feel bad for derailing a decent OP that was trying to bring just a little peace between the clean-eaters and the moderationers. It is now a pit of marshmallow peep food and unrelated gifs.

    You should feel no shame. The peeps are the only thing redeeming that thread from the cat fight it's now devolved into.

    My confession: Not one time in my life have I ever tasted a peep.
    2nd confession: I lifted the peep pizza picture from google images. I would certainly not defile a pizza in such a manner in real life.

    It did get a bit surreal there for a second with all the peep talk, didn't it? Yeah, that brouhaha got ridiculous, but someone just posted a bunch of links to what appears to be bad science, so maybe the thread will experience a resurgence in awesomeness!

    I confess that I am sad that thread got closed. So here's my contribution:
    bacon-peeps-main.jpg

    Those are not part of my fitness regiment. I only eat clean peeps.

    Did those comments get modded out? I confess that I don't see them when I go back through the thread. I feel like I'm missing a bunch of them.

    I restrict calories all day long and stay hungry :( when I get home in the evening there are times when I only ate 400 or 500 calories all day. That seems like a lot. Probably bad. Then I eat a normal dinner

    @MsJennyffer For me, it's been, well was, 2 months and trust me, I felt like maybe I should just be fat. It's so much easier but now I'm losing some weight again and I've lost a couple inches as well so I think things might be getting back to where I was but it's still depressing to see people around me who have been here as long as me and have lost almost double.

    Im going to share and then NEVER read this thread again! So be as mean as you want. In the "OLD DAYS" I had to throw food in the garbage to keep myself from eating it. I then had to cover it up with lots of yucky stuff because I would pull it back out and eat it anyway if I didn't. Im sharing because I know there are other people who have this problem and I want them to know that I have officially went 3 years without garbage picking....You can beat the binge!

    Sometimes on a morning jog I'll stare through the window of the frozen yogurt shop, face right up against the window, just to see which flavors are on tap!

    **This is before it is opened, so it's not completely creepy.

    I went over my calories. I don't think I like Pringles anymore.... :neutral_face:

    I never liked pringles very much until I discovered spraying Easy Cheese on them. A tube of Sour Cream and Onion Pringles and a can of Easy Cheese has been dinner in the past...

    Easy Cheese on Pringles rules! I make layered stacks of them. Nom.
