Dont tell me your dieting while eating a snickers.....

ahh i completely agree. theres no point in doing a workout if your just going to wash it out by eating something bad. I feel horrible if i eat something naughty after doing a workout. best feeling comes after a day where you have done a hard workout and kept up the healthy eating.

I would disagree. If you really can't stop with the bad food, then it's even more important to workout for both your weight and your health. I fully believe that exercise is the single best thing anyone can do for themselves. It's not a cure all, but it does more for weight loss and overall health than any other thing you can do. And perhaps it was a just a bad day or her TOM. Hopefully she doesn't eat like that everyday, but I applaud her for at least taking the step of working out.

If she was eating the full sized ones, which you didn't specify, she is likely sabotaging her new way of life but we don't know. If they were bite sized, who cares.,..she worked out and we're not sure if she counted the calories or not...no, it's not clean eating but she may be weaning herself off the sweets which may be like an addiction that many of us are working on. I burn about 600-1200 calories a day in exercise per day to allow myself 3-4 alcoholic drinks every few days which used to be DAILY, so in my opinion and the opinion of my FRIENDS here on MFP, I'm doing great...weaning myself...don't judge until you know this lady's story. My guess is she needs to loose a bunch and if 3 snickers & a coke is less than she's used too...she's making good progress & weaning herself..you don't know, so you have no authority to judge her. Shame on you. You don't know her story. What's yours? It's probably not hers.

Lose not loose. Just saying.

Come on...tell me every one of us hasn't had a "cheat day" or three or more...goodness...give her a break. Even if they were full sized bars, maybe she could afford it calorie wise. I'm embarassed to say I'm associated with such critical people. This is why I choose only encouraging friends on here. I had a few days not long ago when we were in the process of moving where I was over calories by 1000 ore more calories...not much more but still VERY much over...but, I got back to it and since LATE February, I've managed to loose 15 lbs. Like I said earlier...shame on you. I would delete you as a friend in no time flat if I saw you talking about anyone in such a judgmental way.

I bet the originator of this thread will abandon it and not ever reply. She should be ashamed. I'm sorry for being so pissy but this really rubs me wrong. It's NOT what this site is all about. I'm so used to encouragement and support here that this really strikes a chord with me.

Its all good- I just came home from treating my son to dinner at Friendlys where I had an order of fries, a patty melt and a double scoop of vienna mocha chunk ice cream....so delicious. Nothing wrong with treating yourself occasionally

And you are right, the OP should be ashamed to be bashing someone, especially someone who isn't here to defend herself.

I am on the fence with this one. I see eating sweets does not look good at all, especially if she is needing the help. Yes she could have made changes and use to eat 4 snickers a day, and making improvements in her life.

However, my mom comes to mind whom is overweight and not getting better. She uses little excuses (her diabetes, she needs to eat, etc) and I honestly do not think she even realizes she eats as much as she does. She is constantly snacking. May not be snickers, but she does eat lots of calories. I was mentally there too, I have not been REALLY caring for 4 years and now. Since getting on MFP just under 20 days ago, I am obsessed with what I am doing. I may not be making the perfect choices, and still eat some not so good things, but I am getting there. My point is maybe she has not hit that wall like many of us on here have and are READY to commit. I personally wish my Mom would see what is happening and make a change. My dad and I cannot make her, she needs to do it. If this lady needs to cut back on her sweets, SHE needs to figure that out. I am glad personally I think I am on the right road. And I came to MFP for positive and good motivation. So, with that being said, I know negative words would hurt this lady deeply.

Hope some of this makes sense. I wanted to respond but think I am rambling. lol

Oh and my guilty pleasure is my mixed drinks... I can have many of those and others are probably looking at my like.. oh my lord". LOL

wow :sick:

Let's try not to judge others. We don't know her whole story. And I'm sure many of us were once right where she is.

applause!

I don't even want to discuss the food I ate while I was on attempted diets before.

this falls under the "mind my business" category. I try not to worry too much about what others are doing. I can only change myself.

I just wanted to note that Diabetics have to actually have snacks between meals. We normally eat 5 times a day. Mind you NOT candy bars! But apples, or some crackers. If you have a tight control on your sugars like I do, I will become ill when I don't snack. And I have been known to shove a half can of coke down my throat in the panic of a low sugar episode..which is the CORRECT thing to consume, believe it or not. Candy works too slow!
