She has actually GAINED quite a few friends....I hope they are "perfect" as well. :laugh:0

I agree with the OP. I only eat organic veggies grown 20 feet from my door. Everthing else is full of chemical CRAP that will kill you in 60-100 years.
well isnt that special - must be nice to be able to do that. Guess you never go to the store for anything else.... ever.
I do but I walk or ride my bike. Don't wanna leave a huge carbon footprint. And if I do have to venture out I only go to Trader Joe's.0 -
I think I understand the OP's point. I think very few people can eat completely clean, but I don't think that she meant to yell at anyone who ever indulges in something. Whatever the OP meant, I will say that I worry about some of my MFP friends that carefully monitor their daily calories but whose diets consist almost entirely of very calorie dense foods. E.g., I see people eating fatty bacon cheese burgers and fries for lunch every day, with maybe candy or ice cream during the day, no fruits or vegetables, and then having to skip dinner entirely to stay under their calorie goal. Yes, they can and often do still lose weight, at least for a few months. But my fear for them is that because of the low volume of such calorie dense food that they can eat, and the need to skip meals, that eventually they will get tired of feeling hungry and deprived and will give up. (Plus, I'm convinced that high sugar content foods lead to sugar spkes and crashes that increase hunger.) And even if they make it to their goal weight, I fear that they will not have learned any new eating habits that will sustain them and allow them to keep the weight off. I hope I'm wrong, but I have one friend that I fear that this has happened to already and I think I may have made a mistake, and not been a good enough friend, to say something in time. In short, it's one thing to allow yourself the occasional bad day, to treat oneself with a bit of "unclean" food in moderation - we all need to do that; it's another thing to eat primarily the same crap that got all of us in bad or horrible shape to begin with and hope that we can just eat so little of it that we'll be able to succeed in the long run.
O.k, now let me have it!0 -
I know I just can't sleep knowing there are people out there who eat food I wouldn't!0

See, this would be valid if that's what she was trying to do. But if you're worried about a friend, do you make a post with the subject title "So your [sic] eating less crap, but its still CRAP" or do you PM your friend?0 -
It's really driving me mental!!! I have something like 89 friends on here. I browse a lot of food journals (friends and random people, too) and am SHOCKED by what I see most of the time. Most of you want to lose weight but I see are not willing to change your ways. Food for thought on this Thursday. Lean on your support network if you need help. That's why we're here! Why log in every day and record CRAP. If you want to change your body, CHANGE YOUR DIET!
Judge much? And I suppose you're perfect and never fall off any wagons? Yay you!0 -

right!? not everyone is blessed with the privileged to do that.
It is awesome. They are grown in a special kind of manure that comes only from male cows.0 -
Why are there so many people defending eating "junk" food here? I expected a few comments, but not the majority... Eating a plant based diet really is the way to go if you're goal is to become healthy.
Anyway, I try not to judge and take in to consideration what each person's goals are and support them accordingly. I do like to browse diaries for food ideas, but I can't deny that it does urk me a bit when I see a list of just fast food items. If there are people on my list who aren't serious about losing weight or what have you- I delete them.
Also- say something... If someone is eating JUST McDonald Big Macs all day, comment under their food diary! It's not rude if you say it in a constructive manner. This is a site for people to become healthier and lose weight... If they can't take your critique then tough.0 -
Just a quick observation...
The majority of the avatars telling the OP to cram it because she's a judgmental loser and a meanie pants are not fit, lean, jacked, or awesome looking.
Wow.
I was hoping you would comment on that one... and Acg too. Mr King of the Doughnut-fueled-Workouts needs to get in here!0 -

Ooh oooh ooooooooh, pick me, pick meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee0 -
I think I've got a pretty damn good body, and believe me, I eat my share of "crap."0
-
I still eat "crap food" every single day. I eat a mix of healthy and a mix of "crap"
Eating 100% clean is boring and lacking flavor IMO
I see no benefit of eating 100% clean.
My definition of crap food - Any food that tastes bad
This is BS, in my opinion, unless your definiton of "clean" is so narrow as to only include plain boiled chicken, rice, broccoli, etc.
With the cornucopia of spices we have at our disposal flavor is not an excuse to eat unhealthy food.
If you think healthy food tastes bad, the issue is probably you, not the food.0 -
Im just wondering what your so called friends are making of this......if you had been my friend you wouldn't be now
^^this. I know you would be gone off my list.0 -

Eeeerm, I think u will find the majority of us will indeed be dead in 60-100 years even if we only ate out of your garden....0 -
Why don't you try positive encouragement, instead of complaining about what other people eat? If you don't like it, don't read their logs.
Chill out, it's not your problem.
And learn to spell.
Buddy..... Not a single word of the OP's post was spelled incorrectly.0 -
Judgmental people like you are the reason my diary is private.0

You can eat crap and still lose weight. A calorie is a unit of energy. Simply losing the weight is a good place to start, eating a healthier diet will come ( or not) for most sound minded people.

I would be sad if I cared so much to make a thread about what people that you don't know eat...hmmmm
What she said!!!
Who cares what people eat! What worked for you wont work for everyone..people are so mean..irritates the heck outta me0 -

Grammar is not spelling. If you're going to be an internet forum grammar nazi at least do it correctly.
Also.... I may not have seen the title... lol :blushing:0 -

I was thinking that too! In 60 years, I will be 94 and I will be quite content to blow all 94 candles off my triple chocolate fudge cake and wash down a big piece of that bad boy with a tall glass of wine!
WOOT for 'crap'! :laugh:0 -
I'm so glad that you aren't on MY friend's list, Judgey McJudgerson!
Wow! :noway:
ahhhhh I literally laughed out loud when I read this..lol0 -

I fit in 5 pieces of Dove chocolate every day and I'm still losing weight. Can't pry them out of my diet, chocolate keeps me sane. 0
