I once bought a Kitkat Chunky bar. I nibbled around the end, getting all the chocolate off first, like everyone does (right..?), kept nibbling, kept nibbling: no wafer. At all. The entire bar was solid chocolate! Manufacturing error in my favour. This was pre-logging but I don't know how I would have logged that. Maybe just taken it as a gift from the Gods and not even tried.0

Oh no no no...red are second best. Yellow are the worst.
Yellow is always the worst. Starbust, Swedish fish, Snow.
I was at work and had to make a choice, a small red Laffy Taffy or one of those 2 pack Starburst, I really wanted Starburst. I said "watch it be freaking yellow or orange". I opened the wrapper and I got 2 yellow ones. Everyone laughed at me
I love the yellow ones, mmm lemon! But most of all I love the yellow (banana) laffy taffy, my favorite!0 -

ugh...people...green. Green gummy bears, green apple jolly ranchers, sour apple dumdums...go green! Unless it's a sucker from Frisch's Big Boy or a popsicle, then go orange. After that comes purple. Then red. But never blue or yellow.
I concur. I want all the green Swedish fish that exist, which is sadly not that many, since so many places only sell the tiny red ones. Also, caramel apple lollipops. Those things are my kryptonite (which, coincidently, is also most commonly green).0 -

Guilty here, too!

Confession: Before I had brain surgery, I did not like chocolate at all. Actually, a lot of my taste perception changed. Especially at first, I found really spicy things (not hot spicy...lots of spices spicy) completely overwhelming.0

I'm still sad they no longer carry the green only bag.
But you can buy a box of green only online;

Oh snap...now hide and watch if I don't order them. Thanks!
Lmao when doing the search for the green only, I found the box of watermelon (my favorite) only, and ordered a box.....0 -
I have to hide the peanut butter in the back of the pantry, or make the sandwich and not eat a spoonful first... once I eat one spoonful, I just can't stop.

I can't eat the edges of pop tarts. I systematically break them off and eat only the frosted areas that have filling.0

Bad food choices today...I am eating four egg rolls *right now* as I read this thread.0

Confession two....I will cover it up by quick adding the cals and running an extra mile or two to stay green.0

LOVE green apple Jolly Ranchers! And I like all the flavors of Starbursts.0 -

First you have to break them in half and then again to make four corners. One big bite out of the "meaty" filling-stuffed portion and then carefully munch your way to the edges. Lay the edge aside and proceed to the next corner piece.
In case you wanted details of the proper procedure. I know this to be the correct way to eat a pop tart because I did this basically every morning for the first 20 years of my life.0 -

It's not her fault, and I'm glad she can literally eat what she wants without worry... but it would be so much easier if I didn't work in an office of stick-thin women who love crappy food (that smells soooo good...)
I keep telling myself that they don't taste as good as they smell, because honestly fast food never does.
Well, did she say that to you? That she never watches what she eats?
I mean, none of my co-workers knew me when I was hideously obese (peak BMI was around 45) and the vast majority still don't know I ever was. My BMI was about 26.1 when I started and has since dropped to 22.3. I could sit around and eat a burger and fries, but I would definitely make sure it fit into my calorie budget for the day. I just don't get to eat whatever I want with reckless abandon and stay 'thin'. You never get to rest on your laurels with this stuff, unfortunately.
I think there is a lot of assuming going on that this person is eating the same quantities of food as you did before you started dieting and somehow magically staying thin. I can assure you, nothing could be more wrong. You could be watching her eat the only real meal of her day right now. Watching Supersize Vs. Superskinny really set me straight about this and got rid of that particular piece of fatlogic.
Oh yes, she has a hard time putting on weight. And you know what, I don't want that problem either. I earned my fat with some really, really good food over the years, and I like my curves (just a lot less curvy). I've lost 70 pounds over the last year just eating human portions - now that isn't working and I've had to change things up. So I'm not judging her, or many of the others. Perhaps envy, but not judge.
Sigh.0 -

It any of the sweet potatoes weigh more than 200 grams I won't buy it. So some weeks, I don't get them, because none are in the magic gram weight. I also buy loose onions and bell peppers on a similar weight method. Again some weeks, there aren't any in that weight.
I only buy my International Delight coffee creamer in the single serving mini containers like you get at restaurants. That way I know exactly how much creamer is in my coffee every morning.
I have counted the pieces of popcorn I have eaten.
All meat for myself is weighed out of the big package, vacuum sealed with date, weight, and either put in the fridge or freezer.
Packages of cheese are brought home and cut immediately into 1 ounce slices and vacuum sealed and returned to the fridge.
Lunches for the week are done on Sunday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I usually do mixed veggies 300 grams frozen weight to be microwaved. Tuesday and Thursday are Broccoli days and that is 400 grams of frozen weight to be microwaved.
Boxes of Cereal if they are mine, get pre portioned out to 42 gram Ziploc baggies. I'm the only one who will drink 2% milk. So the half gallon gets weighed out into 8 ounce containers and returned to the fridge in their little reusable thermos containers.
When I make biscuits, I weigh the flour out and do not use a measuring cup. Any flour used for kneading that is left gets scraped up and weighed to subtract from the recipe.
I have made hamburgers for a party and weighed each patty, and thrown away what would not divide evenly into the calculated weight of the others.
I can actually nail the number of servings a peanut butter container has in it by the label to perfect accuracy. I weigh it out too.
I actually own 4 food scales, 1 that travels, 1 at the office and 2 in the kitchen. Their batteries are changed the 1st day of every month whether they need it or not. They are also all the same brand and identical. I'm a lab tech and have used the calibrated weights to check their accuracy, they are in acceptable range. I do this often.
Shall I continue. I have developed a lot of quirks over my 900+ logging days here.
Just curious, what kind of results have you had? I imagine great ones considering you know every.single.morsel you're consuming. Less room for human error.

1) I once ate an entire pound of cooked bacon all by myself.
2) Sometimes I will buy food for my husband, like chips I know he likes, and will end up eating the entire bag before he has had any. I then frantically go to the store and replace it before he notices.
3) I will buy snack foods/fast food at lunch or on the way home and stop at a gas station to "anonymously" discard the trash so my co-workers/husband won't know that I ate it.0 -

I had a craniotomy after a ruptured aneurysm. Yes, I am multilingual. The surgery did not have much impact on my speech or language abilities, but I did have some memory problems, especially in the first year afterwards. My short-term memory was horrible for a while. I lost most of the language that I had learned most recently, which was Russian, but everything else seems to be intact. I still don't totally trust my memory, but I am beginning to suspect that it isn't any worse than most people's memories.
I was able to overcome most of the small deficits that I had after the surgery. It's amazing how plastic the brain is and how much we are able to adapt. My biggest challenge is that I have some frontal lobe damage and hence less impulse control. I can't really hide my emotions anymore, and that makes it harder to get along with people. I've been told that it also makes me funnier. 0 -
I've had like a week-long binge and I'm ashamed

I eat the edges first to get the over with (kind of like how I always eat my veggies first) then I get to the center (aka the good stuff)0 -

You guys lost me when you put "Pop Tarts" and "good stuff" in the same sentence. #notjudging #justhatepoptarts0 -

they have parties for this? is this new baby gender, or transitioning from one gender to another?
if it's new baby gender, go with pastel pinks and blues
It is for a new baby, I am the only one besides the dr that knows it is a girl. I am doing a cake that will be pink on the inside, but non gender specific on the outside. We will cut the cake to let everyone know it is a girl.
That's what I figured you meant. I was confused though: what are you going to blow and what is the "this" that you need to combat? Do you think you're going to blow the secret before they cut the cake?
Also, PROTIP: have them cut the cake with a piece of waxed, unflavored dental floss so the inside doesn't stick to the knife and ruin the surprise.
OK, now I am really concerned, I figured the calories in my butter cream frosting recipe and 4 Tbsp has 416 calories! I can eat that much without even noticing I am licking my fingers while icing a cake! Today is the day too - after work. I have been trying to be very conservative so far today to make up for it, and will likely be compelled to run 6 miles to compensate too. Wish me luck!0 -
The only reason I didn't get out the bed to eat in the middle of the night was that my blankets were to snugly0

Never buy the peanut butter pop-tarts. You will eat the whole box... OMG they are so good.0

I hope this thread is really non-judgmental.
I hate when people tell me they hope they look as good as me when they get to be "my age."0 -

Don;t beat yourself up! Help them with what you can (which I'm sure you are doing), but as a parent, you can only control so much. Our children are unique, individual people with minds of their own. Yes, they have our guidance and influence, but if they have problems of any kind (and they will - there are NO perfect children or parents) all you can do is support them, offer them assistance, and lead by example. Hugs! I hope your family is healthy and happy soon.
My 12yo son is so scrawny, he borders on underweight (5'7and 1/4" and 98lbs). I wonder sometimes if people look at him, then look at my fat self, and think that I am under-feeding him due to my obvious weight issues.
I only wonder this occasionally, and it's freaking genetics (my husband was 6' and 135lbs when he left for college and he grew up eating hot dogs/cheese dogs, kraft dinner, grilled cheese and buttered spaghetti as his staple meals). The boy pounds down ridiculous amounts of food daily.
I hear you on this. My 12yo son is 5'5" and does not legally weigh enough to be out of a booster seat in our province. He is 76 pounds. He, however, NEVER stops eating!0 -

Thank you for sharing! FWIW I find your posts always entertaining. You sound like a fun, smart person. I wish you happiness and good health from here on out!
As far as the bold statement, my youngest son has ZERO filter from brain to mouth although he was born that way. It takes some getting used to, but for the people who truly love him they understand not to get hurt by what he says because he has no ill intention. I mean, we all think things all the time that we never say out loud, but it's as if for him he HAS to say the words out loud to get them out of his head. Sometimes it's shocking, yes, but I'd rather he actually feel his feelings, get them out and move on than to hide them or self-medicate with drugs, alcohol, food, etc. Anyway, enough of my rambling. Just wanted to say there are other people out there who understand you.0
