    Sounds like a week or so of eating at maintenance is called for... ;)

    I hope your testing goes well!

    I had been struggling for a while with a MAJOR appetite increase. Better now but still not perfect. HOWEVER, it all be damned because my boyfriend's birthday is tomorrow, Valentine's day is Tuesday so we are probably going out Monday night (I have school Wednesday morning, so Tuesday night wouldn't be convenient). I have medical testing Thursday so I can't eat anything Wednesday so I figure wthell I may as well enjoy myself! Oh! & I just got a wii u fit :) Fun!
    I just had the doctor ordered fast for medical testing, and the insane appetite increase. Fun fun!

    I hope everything goes well with your testing.

    I enjoy potato chips, but have to keep them away from the house so that I don't gain fifty pounds:/

    I have been doing that! I gave up the last week or so and I decided Im eating at maintanance or w.e. I feel like as long as its around 2000 not too much more. I have testing on the 16th which mean fasting on the 15th so Ill try to go back to dieting after. Fasting actually helps my appetite go down usually? so maybe it will help! At least Im not gaining. lol

    I know it's a weird suggestion but if you have anyone who can help hide them for your or something maybe buy single serving bags (the small ones that used to be a quarter?) or separate a big bag into baggies and serving sizes. Then have someone put them somewhere and not tell you and only give you a serving every other day or every day etc whatever works. Just an idea! Thats what I did. Fellow chip addict here lol

    I picked up a chocolate mousse cake and chocolate lava cakes at Trader Joe's today. They were sampling, and hey, Tuesday's Valentine's Day, right? Or in my world, Excuse To Eat Even More Chocolate Than I Usually Do Day. :smiley:

    It's the day we get to express our undying love for chocolate!

    Wow who are these demented people going around commenting on other people's food diaries?!!? Mind your own damn business peeps.
    Unless someone asks for comment on their diary, keep your opinions to yourself.
    I'm a person who appreciates the 'clean' but mixes it up with some filth from time to time. And that's my damn decision.

    I try to eat healthy (ish, I'm really fussy/picky!) during the week, but I'm definetly a weekend sinner. I just love chocolate and cooking gravy dinners e.t.c. Feel free to add me, I don't believe in judging people, I only ever judge myself XD

    http://www.food.com/recipe/slow-cooker-orange-chicken-256146

    Made this last night for dinner, I used chicken breast instead (cause dark meat is gross) and I wanted to share it with y'all. It's not proper crispy fried bright neon orange chicken, but if you're trying to watch some calories I thought the flavor was good enough that it could satisfy a Chinese craving for a while ❤️

    maybe re-think your position on foods as they are not "clean" or "filth" they are just food with different macros and different nutritional profiles..

    I eat whatever I want as long as fits my calorie goal. Today was mostly Buffalo Wild Wings and shots of 151 rum. I don't judge, unless it's something really delicious ;)

    I LOVE Buffalo Wild Wings! I don't eat meat, but their nachos are life....and their southwestern ranch.....I could drink it! lol.

    I'm a 100% wild meat eater & hope we can still be friends...lol

    I build it in to my day, a mix of processed and fresh foods. Love some pre-made coffee sachet, dessert, ice creams, dressing, store bought quiche and wings etc. But combine it with a healthy breakfast and decent lunch and dinner it can still balance. I would rather balance and keep moving forward then restrict and binge.

    Eating clean is overrated. It's good to make as many healthy choices as possible but exercise and portion control are really all you need. Here are some links about how eating clean is bullcrap:

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/news/clean-eating-dirty-truth-7-myths-busted/
    https://www.completehumanperformance.com/clean-eating/
    https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/ruby-tandoh-eat-clean-wellness

    That's not to say eating clean and ultra healthy is necessarily bad. By all means, eat veggies and fruits and whole grains and all that jazz. But there's also nothing wrong with junk food now and then or some fast food. As long as you watch your portions, calories, and exercise.

    Exercise is the most important thing as it works your body all over and most importantly your heart.

    Your body is capable of amazing things and regulating itself. Treat it the best you can but it's okay to treat your mind, too, and satisfy those junky cravings. <3

    i pretty much eat what i want within reason. i think you just have to know that whatever you consume over your limit is what you need to burn off. so my 1200 calories a day can easily be consumed by lunch time. but i got to the gym before i go home so if i burn 500 calories at the gym, i know i have 700 calories left for dinner and i try no to eat dinner after 7pm. this system works well for me. i lost 2 lbs in almost 2 weeks.

    Feel free to add me. I try to eat somewhat healthy, but with 2 kids in sports, its usually whatever fits into my calories. We have a busy life, so McDonald's and subway happens more often than not!
