Accepted a FR against my better judgement. Thought it will be fine then looked at a diary of someone aiming to come in under 1000 calories a day and promptly deleted. That was short lived. So I have updated my profile and it may well offend but I have decided I have no space in my online life for people who are going to be complete nimrods about food. If you are restricted due to a bypass or sleeve thats different but I have *done* the stupid trying to live on 3 milkshakes a day or skipping 2 of your 3 daily meals and its a bloody bad idea. All my FR are message accompanied or not accepted from now on I think. MFP is an amazing place but i know how easy it is to go down that road and how all it leads to is a bad headspace. I am trying so hard to be honest and healthy with my life right now. Hopefully you guys know none of this is aimed at you I am free-ranting

Kudos to you. I did the same thing a couple days ago....more went on a rant about deleting people for being negative and declining friend requests without a message. We have to keep positive and like-minded people around... Dealing with others stuff before we do our own will only weigh us down! Hugs, C0

Like I said to you earlier, I have been in a bad place lately and am trying to turn it all around. That means being selfish sometimes and saying I cant do this. Negative energy man. I do know though how easy it is to fall into that trap which is why I try very hard not to dip below a certain level. I eat at least 1300 a day, usually more. I dont eat back my exercise but thats because I dont trust the estimates given so I have a hundred or so of it and leave the rest as bonus. For me I couldnt eat that little and still train every night. I like my food too much0

I had to delete two people like that. I was very uncomfortable with their entries 700cal - 800cal per day. I shouldn't judge but it made me feel like an enabler.

I sincerely think if we were all a little more selfish in caring for ourselves that this world would be a much better place. For me, I'm bloody well tired of always putting myself last. It was a bad habit passed on to by my mother, and FFS, I'm tired of it!!!
Every day I'm trying to put myself first a little more. This past month, it has been grocery shopping. I've been buying what I NEED first, then filling in the gaps for my guy. As long as it tastes good, he doesn't care what he eats, and I've been catering to him for far too long. It's actually a relief. I just need to keep on with it...0 -
With regards to groceries I have slipped this week, I have been so good at meal planning and shoppng but I get fed up of Mr J moaning about the meal choices I make so I have left him to fend for himself all week and fed me and the kids0

I currently don't have many friends on fitness pal. Every once in awhile I add a few only to have to clear them off later because they eat nothing or record unrealistic exercise burns or just just stop logging.
Don't even get me started on the whole grocery shopping/cooking meals thing. Trying to make anything that I enjoy eating or that is healthy and expecting my 5 boys to eat it without complaining is unrealistic. Thankfully my husband is on board this time around and is willing to eat whatever I put in front of him. We have always had the rule they try everything but it gets so frustrating when the complaints are constant. The teens are most resistant so they try it then resort to peanut butter bread to fill up. I swear I can't win lately.0
