Anyone else feel ashamed when they look at our peoples food

It seems like everyone eats healthier than I do.

I dont really care though.

I enjoy going to olive garden from time to time and having 10 breadsticks.

Or texas roadhouse and having 12 rolls.

Gotta live!

Food (especially carbs) are a huge part of my life lol

Just do the best that YOU can do!

I actually see it often. People are staying below their calorie count but still eating nothing but fast food, prepackaged foods, cakes, candy, etc. They are not changing their lifestyle at all and normally those are the people that will gain everything back plus some. So no, you are not alone but you really need to fix your food issues so this can be long term weight loss and not "right now."

And its comments like this that make me want to close my diary again. You have NO idea if I have or have not made a lifestyle change. Maybe I eat processed foods because I am soo tremendously busy that I do not have time to get anything else in. Maybe I make the best processed food choice ... and maybe I make a better choice than what I used to. Maybe I am do not know how to cook, or cant afford it ... or maybe I dont have time to cook because I am so busy exercising. Yes, I agree that you should try to eat cleaner, and decrease processed foods as much as possible, but at the end of the day you want to eat less than you burn and you will lose weight...

QFT..

Agreed

I totally know how you feel- I see peoples diaries that are full of whole grains, lean protein, and tons of veggies. and I really don't have the time or money to buy a ton of those, and I do okay. It is a process and some people are on a different step of their journey to learning to eat cleaner and healthier. I ate laffy taffy this morning because my little sister left it in the house and we are about 2 weeks overdue for a grocery shopping! it happens! Forgive yourself and don't dwell on what others do or don't do. We are all different
