    "Don't eat after 6:00 pm"

    What? I get home from work between 5:30 and 5:45, so even getting started on making dinner by 6 is good, so how the &%$^ am I supposed to not eat past 6?

    "Start smoking. . .it REALLY kills your appetite." No, I am not making this up. (this was not a "friend", but overheard at the local Starbucks between two young girls. . .sad, sad, sad!)

    Yum, smoking instead of food - the fashion model diet.

    That's funny! I'm celebrating 1 year of quit smoking this week (yea me!! :bigsmile: )and when I smoked, my excuse for not quitting was fear of gaining weight. My kids pointed out that was pretty logical; at least I would look good in my coffin! LOL

    I had someone just this morning catch me as I was checking the nutrional content on a bag of peanuts. She said, "I can tell you right now without even looking, they're fattening. They're peanuts! Duh"

    How rude! They're better than that candy she has on her desk! She's one of those people who have never had a weight problem and think that just because they're thin, they know everything about dieting. :grumble: Please.

    I'm eating the #@*^ peanuts for one of my snacks, too!

    Dadgummit.

    next time tell her. Ahh, WHAT? Peanuts aren't fattening! Peanuts have lots of protein and GOOD fat. I find the term fattening to be a non-sensical term, because EVERYTHING is fattening (except maybe celery) if you eat enough of it. Peanuts are just a nutrient dense food, so people tend to over eat them. they aren't fattening, they just pack a lot of power into a small package.

    And when are people going to understand that it isn't FAT that makes you fat, but the VOLUME of food you consume...and of course the type of fats you eat that affect your health. They are called "essential fats" for a reason! We DO need fat in our bodies!! :laugh: :laugh:

    My father-in-law recently told me to just eat a lot less and, by the way, exercise doesn't really do much, so you don't have to worry about that. You will burn only a few calories by exercising but cut out a lot more if you don't eat them in the first place. :noway: Rather than a 2-hour argument, I just agreed and went on with my own business.

    I hate it when people tell me I exercise too much. I enjoy it. I am doing no harm to my body and it allows me to eat a little more calories each day and still lose weight. I am stronger at 36 than I ever have been in my whole life so they can take their too much exercise advice and shove it!!

    Someone told me that they asked a doctor for advice on jumpstarting their diet. The doctor advised them to eat an apple for breakfast, one for a snack, one for lunch, one for a snack and one for dinner. Oh, and you could have some coffee too. WHAT?????!!! Are you freaking serious...five apples???!!! Needless to say I will never be visiting that doctor's office. What kind of advice is that? I would die if all I ate was five apples...DIE!!

    I love when the skinny girls at work come up to me and tell me that I need to eat something. I think that it is funny b/c when I first started to lose weight they were "so proud of me!!!" but now that I actually weigh less than they do and wear a smaller size they are rude with their comments!!!LOL:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    This one also annoys me... I'm not a late eater so to speak but dinner-time is usually between 6 and 7pm. And I'm sorry but I usually have healthy dinners... ones that stick with only a couple of hours, so I usually have a light snack between 8-9pm. Note I said "light snack". I'm much better off if I do b/c otherwise I'm like a ravenous dog!!!

    I quit smoking a little over a year ago too and when I was still thinking about quitting I would ask my friends "What's better, a skinny smoker or a fat non-smoker?". There have been times that I have thought about starting again but I have kids and i'm cheap so I don't.

    This wasn't an annoying tip but a suggestion by my Ex-Trainer...

    He said you should shock your body every once in a while so it doesn't expect the same foods all the time... which I understand his point and somewhat agree... but then he says "Yeah like last night, for example, I drank a gallon of milk for dinner." I was like "Are you SERIOUS!?!?! Is that even possible!?!?!!" He claims he wasn't lying... I told him no thanks... I will adjust my foods stightly but I'm NOT drinking a gallon of milk for dinner!!!

    What an idiot!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I don't think it is physically possible!!! Milk turns solid (curdles) as soon as it hits your stomach!

    He's CRAZY! :laugh:
