    Bad night jelly?

    Great night.

    Hey, you know when people disagree with you, it isn't a sign that something is wrong with their life. It means they disagree with your opinions.

    You disagree with me that a calorie deficit causes weight loss (at least according to your previous post). Does that mean you had a bad day? Probably not.

    Oh, she isn't an angry woman who wants to argue that you plan to pray for?

    Wouldn't do much good to pray for me anyway...I think I am beyond that. I ate Subway tonight and two helpings of Reduced Fat Cheezits!

    Well, that's it. You're clearly doomed.

    I don't. I guess you want to argue. What is up with that?

    Wow. Okay, it's awesome you want to accept any and all kinds of advice, but it's summed up pretty much like this: We know you're on here to try and better yourself. If YOU feel that it's best to cut out something like chips or cookies, at least until you can get control of and understand staying within your calorie limit, do it. It's fine. Some people find this works better if they have a hard time with moderation.

    We know you have a reasonable understanding of food groups, what can satisfy hunger and that you understand what macros are (even if you don't follow them at first, it's okay).

    Don, while his intentions are good because we all know that a healthy diet involes more fresh produce and less sugary, empty calories, is kind of being rude and wants to think what he wants to think.

    Just take it one day at a time. Get a food scale, feel a little nerdy, and play with your calorie budget and learn as you go. :smile:

    It seems you like to be very one-track minded. It also appears that you assume a lot about what other people are saying. Do YOU think we're suggesting that she only eat high-calorie, low-nutrient food? Who peed in your whole wheat flax gluten-free wheaties today?

    @donjtomasco Maybe one day you'll learn to differenciate between healthy eating (which doesn't always include portion control) and losing weight (which will happen to you when you eat less than you burn).

    Who said I would pray for you? Would you like for me to? Would it help you feel better?

    No, I prefer facts, not faith. And facts prove that a deficit doesn't need to be obtained with only healthy food to lose weight. You can have a treat here and there if you are okay with moderation. Not everyone needs to live with a strict diet that has a "good" and "bad" label attached to it.

    Everyone else has said the same thing. The exact. Same. Thing. I assume you're being sarcastic because it seems like you prefer the antagonistic position in this thread. Purposeful misunderstanding.

    You are ignoring some key points to my post. Everyone else has suggested the same thing you agreed with when I posted. What is the point of this then? Are you going to argue that an unhealthy diet makes you gain weight even at a deficit (which is wrong) because this is just going around in circles.
