    Overheard just now:
    Coworker 1: "I'd be sick if I ate a whole bag of kettlecorn."
    Coworker 2: "At least I am eating popcorn. I ain't eating junk."

    I might be wrong, but if I had diabetes an entire 9"x24" bag of kettle corn would qualify as junk in my nutritional world. (Two cups would be a treat, but still not nutritious.) I know I am being a little judgy, but I did manage to NOT laugh out loud, at least.

    I would be a bit judgy too!

    I laughed at these two customers the other week (in my head of course). They both were going through perimenopause & discussing how much weight they were gaining & they barely ate a thing. I kindly mentioned that I lost over a hundred pounds using MFP & the lady said that would never work for me since I only eat one meal a day & I eat less than 500 calories. With those kind of people I wish you could videotape what they eat & show them how much they're either eating or drinking mindlessly without even thinking about it.

    I wanted to say if you ate less than 500 calories a day then I would highly doubt you would be in the position to need to lose 20 pounds. I wanted to scream starvation mode doesn't exist, because if it did then why do people in Africa die from starvation?

    My 2 thoughts on this... No way is she living on 500 calories a day. Can you? Yes, I have done it several times on HCG. But never long term. She would be dead.

    And 2 I slipped through menopause and into menopause (apparently) LOSING weight on watching what I eat and walking. I am thinner than I ever have been. And maintaining like I have never been. So I call BS on that one.

    I'll second that.

    I've been getting " you have lost a lot of weight how have you done it"
    I'm always wage to tell them because it has been so good for me. It's always so sad to watch their face change from eager anticipation to disappiontment.
    It inevitably ends with them saying sadly "you are probably exercising too."
    I try not to get disappointed with their disappointment.

    I had a customer come up to me the other week & say they were impressed with my weight loss & told me that I inspired them to get weight loss surgery. They gave me a high five after I told them I didn't have weight loss surgery.

    One of the women who works for me had weight loss surgery very recently. She wasn't like huge. I really don't understand why she did it. It can be dangerous and honestly she wasn't that heavy. She said she just couldn't control her eating. Not judging I just worry about that route. I know someone who had something rupture and almost died after weight loss surgery.

    That's a bit sad. I wish there was a limit of weight that you couldn't have weight loss surgery or only use it in extreme circumstances. I constantly hear people mentioning that so & so had weight loss surgery only to gain almost all of it back & more on top of it.

    From watching my 600 Pound Life I remember the doctor saying that there's ways people can cheat with the weight loss surgery.

    i work in a building with 1200 ppl and have seen this a few times.
    there have also been a few that are doing awesome, but it does seem to be an all or nothing thing, at least around here...

    Confession: It's been almost 2 weeks since I've been to the gym. I got deathly ill (Fever, chills and my asthma acted up) for a week and now dealing with a break up. Yesterday was the first day that I was actually able to eat under calories because I didn't get into the Grief Bacon, baby steps are better than no steps right?

    Ideally yes but with the break up I lost the trainer/nutritionist. I'm not sure if I can do it this year, which means it will give me more time for next year. We will see.

    Sounds like great goals. Form what I have sen you are already amazing but I support the notion to continually improve what you got. I saw this in a store the other day and decided I like it for my new mantra.

    Now get your birthday hat on, blow out your candles and make your wish come true!

    I saw this on the way to a hike the other day. I have never seen a horse put his head out of the trailer to feel the breeze before. He seemed to be completely enjoying it.

    :'( so sorry that you had a horrible 2 weeks. I hope you are on a well being trajectory now. Some times baby steps is all we can do. I suspect you have done more than that evan in your weakened state.

    I don't like when horses are allowed to do that while driving. I always imagine a horrible accident. But I did spend a nice evening with my girl! :smiley:

    I have seen horse and cattle trailers with webbing over the windows to stop the animals from doing that. It's all fun and games until your 8 year old (me) rolls the window down to try to let the horse. I think I took 10 years off my mom's life. (I grew up before mandatory seat belts and I love horses.)
    Edit that should say pet the horse...
