    There are a lot of people on MFP who are recent converts to the religion of being healthy and do things that aren't viable long term, like not counting all purposeful exercise or insisting that every gram of food that goes into their mouths is weighed and catalogued. I get it, really I do. Recent converts to any faith tend to be the most zealous. But I want to shake them and say "if you want to stay healthy, you have to have a plan you can follow THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. Chill out before you burn out." It wouldn't do any good, so I don't. . .

    As one of the recent converts, I try to remind myself of this every day. I don't always hit things exact in my plan, but life happens and adjustments need to be made.

    I don't keep food in the house. Unless it's really boring stuff that I will only eat when I'm too broke to get anything that tastes good. If it's good, I eat it. Or if I'm sad, I eat it. Or if I'm bored, I eat it.
    So... I grocery shop every morning.

    I'm a chronic maintainer, I want to get to Onederland, but I want to gorge myself on pizza too. Sitting at 225 since July. The past 2 weeks I've been terrible and I actually hit 233. I'm down to 229

    I maintained for an entire year last year. I'm determined not to do the same this year.

    I have no interest in color runs or mud runs or any kind of run where I'd need to take a shower to prevent discoloring the upholstery in my car. The thought of doing one makes me want to stick my finger through my eyeball and swirl it around in my brain.

    I've done 1 color run, only to have an activity to do with my 11 yo stepdaughter. I have no further interest in doing a race where I get dirty.

    I'm signed up for a Tough Mudder in exactly 78 days and I go from pumped to scared out of my wits pretty much every 5 minutes. :sweat_smile:

    That's pretty much how I feel about my first half marathon in 58 days!

    I would try a triathlon. Except for the swimming part. Can't swim worth a flip! I am looking into Duathlons though!

    I sometimes wish I could be anorexic....it would be so much easier than dieting. But, I like food too much, so the anorexia thing won't work.

    Anorexia has nothing to do with liking food or not and everything to do with being constantly terrified, which is not "easier than dieting". Try feeling like a walking corpse for a couple of years and see how you feel. Try sitting in front of an apple and watch your mother beg you to please, please just eat it just eat something and wanting to desperately but not being any more able than if she had asked you to eat the plate. Try sobbing hysterically for hours because you were forced to have a single bite of bread, but you feel as violated as if you'd been raped. Try having your fingers constantly blue and numb, not being able to sit on chairs because it hurts your bones, watching your friends laugh and only feeling the empty distance between you and them and all the rest of the people who are properly alive.
    Not easy.

    I'm sorry if it sounds harsh, it just really bothers me to see people acting so cavalier about a life-threatening illness. Anyone who suffers it would give it to you in a heartbeat if they could, I promise.

    Wow!

    This is so true. Please for the love of God never ever wish this disease upon yourself! I'm fighting every day to get better. Don't ever wish for this.

    I'm currently a stay at home mom. My mil babysits once a week so I can get out during the day. For the past year or so, I've looked forward to that day so I can go eat a big fast food meal all by my lonesome, usually sitting in my vehicle in a parking lot. I would try to hide the evidence from my husband so he wouldn't know (not that he really cares, but it was embarrassing to me).

    Part of the reason I made my diary public was so I wouldn't have secret parking lot binges.

    My grandson's 7th birthday is tomorrow. The whole famdamily is going to Casa Bonita's for dinner. I'm SERIOUSLY considering faking illness to be able to get out of it. I just don't wanna deal with the food choices :/

    I'm sorry- all I could think about was South Park and Casa Bonita.

    My confession: I literally did no work today. I was on the forums and candy crush

    I've sometimes refused some food that had the calorie count posted because it was just way too high, only to later that week eat the same kind of food but from a source with unknown calories, so I could pick a lower calorie entry in the database without feeling too guilty. Basically, I'm way more likely to indulge when a place doesn't post the calories...

    You guys know that red velvet is just chocolate with lots of red food coloring and cream cheese icing?

    Yep, don't care! :) They have now survived intact nearly 24hrs.

    Update: The red velvet oreos were a disappointment. IMO the cream cheese creme had a very non-Oreo consistency and kind of a chemical taste (and yes, I know it says artificial flavors rights on the package, but even accounting for that...bleh). I left them in the break room with no regrets. Not sure if this is a victory or a failure, since I ate 8 of them before deciding they weren't worth it.

    If it makes you feel better, I am 100% sure yoru muffin was better than the oreos, which cost me 560 cals?

    I did a triathlon this past summer that started with a kayak or canoe paddle instead of a swim. It was fun :)

    I keep force feeding my 10 year old son Nutella on toast because I know I get to lick the knife after. Problem is, the amount left on the knife keeps getter more and more. It doesn't get logged.

    Like all the other good things in my life, it creeps up bit by bit until I have to wrestle it to the ground!

    Sometimes when my diary says whole wheat english muffin (120 cals), what I REALLY had was 3 Dove dark chocolate caramels (120 cals). Why do I feel the need to do this?

    I will ponder it while munching on a healthy whole wheat English Muffin.

    I know how to cardio very well, I don't know how to strength train, I'm trying to make the switch, but all the information is very daunting.

    It's really easy to eat an entire bag of jerky. And I haven't been walking.
