Agh, yuck. Don't eat that crap! (flaming cheetos) There's so many chemicals and artificial S*** in them, you can light one on fire and it will burn like a candle. Google and/or youtube it.
Me likes the taste of dem chemicalz.
Me, too! Definitely NOT in the clean eater club.0 -

Another confession I have after being on these boards a little while is I HATE the question "Do you weigh everything you eat?" I want to scream every time I see it asked.
HELLL NO....I DONT weigh everything. That is simply not sustainable for the rest of my life. Sure I know that losing or maintaining will have to be a lifelong effort and I will work towards it but the whole weighing EVERYTHING is simply too much for me.
We have a baby shower at work today. Am I supposed to pull out a scale and weigh a slice of cake? I don't think so.
Carry on...0 -

I decided to forgo my regular protein granola that I put in my greek yogurt every morning so that I could have some girl scout cookies instead. I know I'm not working out today so I need to fit those cookies into my calories somehow, right?!?
I regret nothing..0 -

But if someone is complaining that they are doing EVERYTHING, and they are not losing or are gaining weight, the best thing to do is get a realistic idea of what they are actually consuming in calories. Most people get a real wake up call. It's the easiest answer for a frequently asked question.

I suppose you're right. For me, I'm not one to complain why I'm not losing or why I'm gaining. I know exactly why and I think it applies to most of the complainers. Eating too much. Control that mouth and watch how quickly things change.1 -
I ordered the wraps and have never even received them!! i'm so angry cause I was looking forward to fast forwarding my weight lost with them but now I guess maybe it's a good thing I have not gotten them. I'm also looking into waist training. Good or Bad and i'm being my own food Police but i'm sooo hungry!! lol

I ate 100 g of blue cheese in one sitting a couple days ago.

Honestly the scale was an eye opener for me. And considering that I eat at home 99% of the time, I have no problem weighing stuff forever if I have to, as it just takes two seconds. Plus it's not like you don't get anything from it, as it teaches you portion control.
My confession of the day - I went back on the elliptical for the first time in 3 weeks today (been working out at home instead) to do some intervals. I lasted 10 minutes. Lungs on fire. Ugh. Now I have to make up for it and get on my bike for an hour.0 -

I still can't fathom how someone wouldn't want to know their blood.
I'm sorry he didn't want to get to know you. My father was in a band and traveled all over. He looked like the 70's Burt Reynolds and sang like Elvis...and drank like Hemingway. All the women loved him and he loved them all right back. He left a trail of children. So far, five of us have found each other through Facebook. One of my sisters was very hesitant at first. She didn't want to tarnish the picture she had in her head of our father. We are all very close now. We continue to search for others - at least one sister and two brothers that we know of. Your brother may come around. He may just be processing it all.0 -
Some fun things on my work desk are
Lego X-Wing
Lego Tie-Fighter

Jake the Snake Roberts Wrestling Figure, the old 80's rubber ones that bounce
Autobot Insignia Ring
Avengers #9, First appearance of Wonder Man, the book is 50 years old this past October.0 -
Confession - I have no idea what my BF% is. I know the number my scale shows is in no way accurate and I don't care enough to go get calipered.

I don't think that situation is the problem. The issue is really people who have to weigh every single thing they eat AND think everyone else should too. It's a good learning method if you are stalled with your weight loss, and yeah, there's a scale in my kitchen for times when eyeballing really isn't going to work but you shouldn't try to weigh everything the rest of your life. It's bound for failure, long-term.0 -

But the people asking are not weighing and have no idea what 100 grams (or whatever) looks like. It's a learning tool. Once they've learned, they won't need the tool. But to start out, most do, including me.

And that's fine. Got no problem with it. It is a great learning tool
But you have to live your entire life, and hopefully there will be cake that you have to eyeball to guess the calories. (If you like cake, of course. If not, please substitute your high calorie treat of choice.) Eyeballing accurately is also a tool and it's one that is necessary for long term maintenance!0 -
I just ate an entire bag of cashews from the filling station. 450 calories.

Every Sunday, I take my son to do the grocery shopping. At one of the stores, we get a bottle of Mexican Coke and a Tastycake pie (his choice: Cherry, Apple, or French Apple) and sit on the tailgate to share them. Coke-and-Pie Day almost never gets logged.1

Confession: I've never had, or even seen, a TastyKake. I imagine they are amazing and I've been cheated.

TastyKakes are the most amazing things ever, especially their Short Bread Christmas Cookies.0 -

OhMyGodAllTheNomz....Tastykake (just realized I've been spelling it wrong all these years) is a regional thing. They're actually a company that puts out a lot of different baked treats, but I think their baked pies are the best.
