I understand that weight is fluid. I do not understand my weight. I skip breakfast and lunch almost everyday, which helps with the weight loss. Two days ago i ate only grilled vegetables at dinner time and nothing else. I weighed 128.7. Yesterday i didn't eat breakfast or lunch but i did eat a bunch of cookies, Doritos, peanut butter, three pieces of pizza, and some cake. For some reason, i only weighed 128.2. Today, i ate a large ceaser salad for lunch and a tiny bit of chinese food for dinner and some wheat thins. For some reason i ended up weighing 129.4????

Thanks for your insight, CattOfTheGarage, but I do disagree with part of your statement - that "You need to cut out all sugar" is nonsense. Saying it's nonsense for everyone is just as incorrect as saying it's necessary for everyone....

... So wouldn't it be great if we could all just humbly offer our ideas to each other rather than smugly insisting on them?

Saying "you must cut out sugar" is nonsense.

Saying "I found it helpful to cut out sugar and you might too" is a fair statement.

Even saying "I need to avoid sugar" is very different from "you must cut out sugar".

You seem to think only people who don't really need to lose weight can eat sugar, and those who have serious amounts to lose need to cut it. I was obese class 1 and suffered from binges. Cutting out foods made me worse not better. I can accept that other people are different. I can't accept people saying things like "you must cut out sugar". No. I mustn't.

Yes, wouldn't it be great if we could humbly offer our ideas to each other? Wouldn't it? But instead people feel the need to frame their experience as a rule that everyone else needs to follow.

Please, consider the difference in the two phrases I posted above. In what possible world does "you must cut out sugar" qualify as "humbly offering ideas"? It seems much more like "smugly insisting" to me.

CattOfTheGarage: After some reflection, I see how you interpreted my post. Just to clarify, "You must cut out sugar" is not appropriate to say to anyone, and I assumed I made it clear that I believed that, but perhaps not.

The word I was focusing on was "nonsense." I don't believe we should be telling people that cutting all added sugar from their diets is nonsense, in every case. Perhaps you would agree with that.

What I really wanted to say was "You must cut out sugar" and "You should never try to cut out all added sugar" are both inappropriate.

And this is my concern: Overweight people have been told over and over that they should incorporate added sugar in their diets everyday so that they don't feel deprived and then binge. This advise never seems to cause a stir on this site.

But the opposite advise would be more helpful to those who react to eating sugar by binging. Somehow, this subject has become taboo on this site, and it can't be discussed without walking on eggshells and using all the right words and phrases.

Btw, the smug thing was definitely not pointed at you. I think I was revisiting some old wounds while writing that post, and I apologize if it sounded like I was accusing you. You have been very fair and respectful. Thank you! And congratulations on your success.

Shoot, I'd love it if my weight only varied 1.2lbs in a day. Mine can vary up to 5lbs.

Chill Winstaaaan. Give it time.
