My final time was a binge on celery. I wanted a candy bar and instead made a "healthy" choice to eat a piece of celery instead and kept eating celery til I vomited, that was it no more limiting food. Now it's everything in moderation.

To be honest no. When I limit myself I end up binge eating and being miserable. I gained 20lbs when I was trying to lose 10lbs because I would limit then binge, it was an unpleasant cycle.

My take away from this thread: Lots of bro/sis gender confusion, and the silica packets I ate won't poison me.

also...
Chocolate ice cream can only be eaten 2x weekly, a small french fry once in a while only because they don't don't contain sugar or chemicals..

damn, I did it again!

I'm screwed guys - I had vanilla ice cream last night. TWICE!

But could you have lost even more weight if you wouldn't have (assuming your trying to lose weight)?

I'm glad you recognize that now. Being overly restrictive has only ever led me to failure, and then feeling worse about myself.

Oh gosh, it took me forever to learn to moderate ice cream (still have difficult days). But something about giving myself permission to let go of all the restrictions and BS that I had convinced myself was necessary to be healthy, I started feeling an emotional weight lift. It actually made it easier to stick with the calorie restriction because I knew that if I wanted a cookie or a beer, I could have it. If it took me over calories for that one day, that's fine because I was on track the rest of the week.

It's a funny thing - when I moderate my food intake properly, my worst fears regarding weight gain never happen, and I still get to enjoy what I want.

This discussion is funny. In spite of everything I've learned and read about foods since deciding to get healthy, the only thing that has really changed is the quantity I eat any given day, not whether the food is processed or not, by any definition.

And why the heck am I suddenly craving Twinkies at 9 in the bloody morning!?

Maybe it's all this banana talk? The original Twinkies introduced in the 1930s were filled with banana cream. They had to be switched to vanilla cream when bananas became rationed during World War II.

I never knew that! Now that I do, here's where it's going - my daughter made the most incredible banana/cream cheese filling for cream puffs over Christmas. I'm going to suck the filling out of a twinkie with a straw and replace it with her filling.

Oh yeah

It is, and dangerous as well. My wife, and my youngest - these two women can take chalk and water and make a AAA dessert out of it lol.
