I have asparagas for breakfast, to flush out any pesky water weight
One of my favourite breakfasts is asparagus and poached egg on a wholemeal muffin spread with light laughing cow cheese.
I love asparagus but have never ate it for breakfast....may I ask you both how you would cook that as a breakfast food??

I pop it in the water that I'm poaching my egg in. It just blanches it enough to be cooked, but it still keeps its crunch.0 -
@therenjen YES! Settlers is so much fun - I love a good board game. Any Killer Bunnies fans out there? That's been my favorite for years.0

I ate a big chocolate bar, a mini pie, and a hamburger (well, cheeseburger, but i didn't log that) today. probably within my calories, since that's really all i had, but it didn't feel as good to "indulge" as i expected it would0

I love this thread, too. I'm a country fan. Actually, there is very little music I can't enjoy.
I also love asparagus. I was super p!ssed when Sam's was sold out right before Easter. I'm going to try it for breakfast tomorrow, too!0 -
I went to the gym today. I'm not a member. I didn't join. I just looked around.0

All of this.I also love asparagus.
This too. I'm glad it's the hot new breakfast food. It's one of my rotating omelet ingredients.0 -

I may have to try this. Purely because it just sounds fun.
I am somewhat disappointed because I was eating fairly decent today (at least compared to my last couple weeks) and made a meal for dinner that I thought would be right around my maintenance calories, but it put me about 400 cals over. I was up all night puking my guts out though, so maybe it will cancel out.
On a side note, I quite possibly discovered the most disgusting combination of foods to vomit there is.0 -

Confession: Sometimes when I'm in a hurry (like I am now), and want to quickly check something online (such as the news, or as was the case just moments ago, to take a quick peek at this thread), I sometimes engage in a kind of 'race reading' that can end up being somewhat 'snapshot'-like (if that makes any sense), and I can initially misread something (though quickly see 'the error of my ways', and subsequently see/understand what was *actually* in a given word's place, etc.), and... well... when I 'snapshot race read' the words "I ate a big chocolate bar", I initially misread it as "I ate a big chocolate jar" -- which resulted in an immediate internal response of, "what?!", followed by my thinking (after an apparent subconsciously-actioned attempt to 'make sense of such'), "that sounds cool... was it an Easter candy 'container' of some sort?... I want one!" -- to then just as quickly realizing that the word was *bar* (and summarily feeling like an idiot
). 0 -

I find myself constantly thinking about calories. I pre-log a lot of my food. At breakfast I'll log what I'm eating and log for lunch since I know what I'll be packing to bring with me to work. It helps me see how many calories I can (or can't!) eat during the day, as sometimes I'll find a small snack.
I also go to bed really early, and that helps with my late night snacking issue. How many 22 year olds so you know who go to bed at 8-8:30 every night?!0 -

I now want to know the calories in everything. Even things I would never consider eating because I actively hate the taste. I end up getting distracted at the grocery store looking at nutrition labels for things I will never buy. Which is insane because it makes me stay longer in the store and I hate all forms of shopping.

While you're at it, try using a 1/4-teaspoon measuring spoon to eat ice cream with... I tried that once, to force myself to make the last partial scoops from a beloved flavor's container last as long as possible (instead, it merely tested my sanity (and I nearly failed said 'test' ;P )).
On a related note, it occurred to me that the dinky 1/4-teaspoon -sized measuring spoon I was using resembled more of a toy scoop-shovel that was better suited for hanging in the garage of a dollhouse, and (per the time it took for me to finish using said itty bitty piece of plastic, for the purpose of (glacially, as it turned out) removing barely visible 'samples' from the hard-as-a-rock ice cream (which was practically taunting me with its militantly-adhering-to-itself 'defiance' of that laughably small (and surprisingly flimsy) spoon)), the spoon would seem to have been errantly given a thumbs-up by quality control personnel, during the manufacturing process, what with said spoon having been labelled "1/4 teaspoon", but its capacity having been more like "2 or 3 molecules" (or so it would seem).
Anyway, highly recommended 'process' to engage in... 0 -
I didn't eat a single vegetable today.0

I raged out at work because someone stuffed something up and so I ate chocolate. Stupid thing is, it is well within my calories, but I'm annoyed at myself because I should eat chocolate because I WANT it, not because I'm narky and it's there.0

I use the tiniest imaginable spoon to eat ALL of my desserts, so that I can properly savor them rather than just gulping them down (I've always done this, way before I ever started counting calories. I just love eeny weeny spoons!). The spoon I use is a metal spoon that's used for incense here in the Middle East--The bowl of this particular spoon is about the size of the fingernail on your index finger. 0 -
My confessions:
I bake cookies at night after my kids go to bed so I don't have to share.
I got skinny cow variety chocolate bars from costco (there are 32 bars) and ate them all in like 3 days. But to be fair I had just gotten my first period in a year...hormones be crazy
I have no self control when it comes to food. I just can't eat a couple. It usually turns into the whole box/bag
I used to eat my kids leftovers and not log them. So when I realized how many extra calories it was I started giving them to the dog. Now he is overweight and on a diet. He steals food from the trash...0 -
The thought of eating up all my calories scares me

I lost some weight a couple of months ago but then gained most of it back (about 5 kilos). I know I've gained some due to those binge weeks as well and I hope I can manage and get back to my healthy eating and shed those extra kilos I've gained.. I know food does not solve problems but it certainly feels like it helps me deal with current personal issues. I'm aware that's not true and hope to have the willpower (which I seem to be lacking right now) to get back to healthy eating and hopefully lose the weight.
Be kind to yourself. Set a plan. Add something to your day tomorrow, rather than taking something away. I've only recently broken through losing the same damn 10kgs and putting it back on - I've been doing it for years! I find that adding something healthy in, when you're in that place (lacking willpower, having problems getting back on the wagon), is a kinder thing to do for yourself. Setting a plan you can achieve is really important.
As for my own confession, I weigh myself every day. Every single day. I find it helps me understand that we have daily fluctuations in our weight, and I used to get quite down when I weighed myself weekly in the past, only to find there was minimal difference after busting my gut all week. Nothing made me reach for a pie or some chocolate quicker than feeling my efforts weren't achieving results. And I also only record weight losses on MFP, not gains.
Great thread - makes me realise my idiosyncrasies are just as boring and frequent as many others!0 -

Yay! Me too. It's pretty much all I listen to.0 -
Seriously considering buying a $15 motivational water bottle. Just for the fact that it has lines marking the time of day to motivate you to drink that much water.
Some days I go without drinking any water what so ever. I pretty much only drink coffee and 0 calorie monsters. Which I know isn't good.0
