    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.
