Eating pizza, pop tarts, & ice cream while losing weight

PetulantOne

I've never understood why pizza and ice cream get a bad rap in the first place. Is it because people think fat make them fat? Or is just because people think anything that tastes good must be bad for them?

I have to admit that I have never been a big fan of pop tarts.

That being said, all my MFP friends who read my diary know that I lost a lot of weight last fall and achieved my ideal weight while consuming tons of pizza and ice cream.

My cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure numbers are all perfect.

I am getting stronger and faster every month.

Pop tarts bring back childhood memories its why I eat them!!!

I think it would be doughnuts for me and that's why I don't eat them. I was fat as a youngster.

Nah. it's because if you are eating pizza and ice cream and you are overweight but losing despite this, clearly you just aren't suffering enough.

If there wasn't a visible box of pop tarts on that table I might have taken offense.





Might.

i think you aren't far off. i think for some people who get obsessed with restricting their diet (clean/paleo/primal) or following a fad like low carb without a medical reason, the "suffering" they endure by avoiding the foods they love is a sort of penance they are doing for getting fat in the first place. there's clearly a weird mental illness dynamic at work with these people, although it may not always rise to the level of a clinical illness, but nevertheless there seem to be some funky thought processes involved and this seems to be the best explanation i can find for it so far. the weird pride they take in being able to avoid such foods backs up this hypothesis.

In my opinion, it's am eating disorder.

I think there is help for that.

Straw man syndrome. It's easier to blame something external than look at your own inability to use moderation.

Trolling then, sweetie. Glad you admitted to it. :flowerforyou:

Since when does participating in the forums amount to trolling? Because you disagree with the posts? :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Well, you said:

Oh, I don't know, I'm bored and looking for some entertainment?

And a troll is:

In Internet slang, a troll (pron.: /ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is someone who posts inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion

In summary: you came in here and took up 7% of the space with your dumb argumentative and condescending posts. That, dear, is trolling :flowerforyou:

That's a valid point too.

I tend to lose self control when it comes to potato chips. So I hardly ever eat them now. I don't run around screaming from the rooftops about how they'll give you cancer though. I accepted a long time ago that my faults are my own, so there's that too.

Next, it will show up in the DSM-VI. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: But then, childhood tantrums is considered a disorder in DSM-V. Gotta love the wannabe shrinks among us. From one shrink (I actually have a degree) to another wannabe shrink--this is total BS to apply this to people who have an honest concern about losing weight healthfully. Or is this not what this site is about?
