    Ha! I love the Little Debbie oatmeal pies! mmmmm to die for

    The oatmeal pies I grew up having and they were one of my favorite desserts. I rarely eat them now but I did buy some last year, baked them with brown sugar, cinnamon, and caramel, and served the whole concoction ala mode.

    Pioneer Woman has a recipe to make them at home. They are ridiculous.

    Oh my sweet stars. When someone has this recipe loaded so I can accurately log it please let me know. I solemnly swear I will not attempt to bake it before then because I will have to have that calorie number in hand in order to not eat the whole batch single handedly.

    I love MFP for the community, while the gifs on Fridays keep me entertained, it is also a place where I can get great eating advice. What got me excited is learning about IIFYM and someone actually suggested that I should just eat the ice cream and pop tarts. If it fits my calorie intake and macros, I can just adjust my other meals in the day. But so many people on here are pro-clean eating and paleo style dieting. Why can’t I just find like minded people that eat real food? I use IIFYM because I’m busy, I have two children – a one year old and a 36 year old husband, work fulltime as an accountant and run a household. Who can plan out all these meals without eating something pre-packaged once in a while?! I just grab a pop-tart, an ice cream from the freezer, or throw in a frozen pizza in the oven. How is this not real food? Why do people have to always bash that I'm actually losing weight eating what I love? Then I realized I should not care what other people think, post, or advise. I do me. It works for me, I’m losing weight and that’s what matters. That is what got me excited.

    IIFYM works well and rumor has it the clean eaters will eventually be eaten by the PALEO folk. And losing weight is a Hoot! Shhhh....don't get too excited! gif's are coming soon. . . .

    I eat what I want and drink what I want. I just pay attention to the size of the servings.

    And now I want icecream and poptarts and Little Debbie treats

    Y'all have sabotaged me :-(

    ditto. Moderation is key.

    Yes, if I didn't eat the foods I love (in moderation), I don't think I would have stayed sane enough to lose any amount of weight. It was a lesson I willingly learned quickly.

    I may have to have a poptart ice cream sandwich tomorrow. Today it's a Tastykake Swirly Cupcake and Strawberries n' Cream Ice cream. I also had pizza for lunch, so yeah, I'm having a pretty awesome food day.

    I bet that cookie was good though! And...it's just one. Now if it were 12, we'd have another kinda talk...

    I had 4 small brownies today. NO REGRETS.

    Now if that was replaced by a frosted brown sugar poptart it would be absurdly scrumptious.

    Dear. God. What on earth is a pop tart and if it looks anything like that slice of heaven, more importantly, how do I get one? Why oh why was I born into a country that does not provide this as an edible option?... Whhhhyyyyyyy???:sad:

    After I started losing weight I found out they brought back my favorite flavor Poptart (frosted vanilla fudge). Really? I bought two boxes, but the second one has yet to be open!

    However, the Ben & Jerrys I just ate made me extremely happy.

    I had a lot of ghirardeli chocolates last night. And ice cream. It fit my calories but not so much my macros. Oh well. I don't do that every day.

    And I love Little Debbies. Swiss cake rolls are my favorite.

    Now I am hungry.

    Oh whoopie pies!

    If anybody finds themselves in Philly stop by the Reading Terminal Market, a huge collection of eateries, many of them amazing, and go to the Flying Monkey Bakery for one (or more) of their famous whoopie pies. Oh my damn!

    They use to sell pop tarts in Australia but they got discontinued there about a decade ago. But according to google you can still get them at a couple import stores.

    This place in Melbourne sells them online:

    I follow IFFYM but I rarely get close to being right on my macros. I can have anything I want tho I choose not to at the moment.
    I think there are lots of real food people on here. I eat as clean as I can but some days you gotta just eat dirty...frozen pizza, kraft dinner, even a good ole hot dog.

    I ate a hot dog for dinner last night and was still under my calorie intake. I've been craving an Oreo cream donut lately, I might have to work that in for breakfast tomorrow.

    If I didn't eat "normal" foods I wouldn't eat! I have a family to cook for and while I've cut some extra calories in small ways (ie lite butter and the like) I'm basically cooking and eating the same stuff i always did, I'm just more mindful of my portions. But to echo an earlier poster I eat what I want and drink what I want and I've managed to lose 22 pounds. By doing it this way I'm pretty sure I'll be able to keep the weight off this time. By the way, regarding Paleo, I think there's reason those folks only lived to be about 30!

    I eat and drink everything in moderation. If I didn't, I'd be setting myself up for a binge.

    Right now I'm having a love affair with bacon! A few weeks ago it was sage sausage and biscuits. BTW, my cholesterol is great! Lol

    I couldn't survive or even last a week on some kind of Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem diet where all you get to eat is nasty tasting frozen crap. Who's gonna do that for life?

    It makes me sad to see my friends so excited when they say they had their kid's birthday party and didn't eat any cake or had a pizza party and pulled off all the toppings to eat it What kind of life is that? We had a pizza party at work yesterday for a coworker who was leaving and you bet your a** that I had two slices (albeit they were smaller slices). I just made sure to get that run in last night and was still under my goals. It's all about moderation and still living your life.

    Last night I had a Nestle Vanilla Drumstick...the chocolate glob that settles into the bottom of the waffle cone? OMJesus it's my favorite part.

    And Little Debbie oatmeal cakes....slide the two halves apart, add peanut butter, stick them back together = heaven :)
