So your eating less crap, but its still CRAP

That being said, I'd bet that the OP is referring to people in her circle of friends who have stated goals that are not supported by their food choices and/or plans that do not include those food choices. OP has made some good progress based on her avatar pic, so she probably has valid things to say and the fact she cares about the people in her circle to the point she gets frustrated with them for sabotaging themselves means she's a good MFP pal.

This.

Agreed, although a small treat here and there won't harm

Agreed, however many people think that small treat should be at every meal.

I have seen it too (and am guilty of it some days). Like I always say, you can't out exercise a bad diet. :drinker:

Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym.

Some people don't have "visible abs" as a goal. I'm almost 40 and been married nearly 20 years with two teenagers. Even when I was a teenager and running 3x a week, lifting weights 2x a week, and in the best shape of my life, I wasn't wearing bikinis and showing off my belly to the world. That's *never* been a goal of mine. My goal is to get below 25% BF, not 15 or 18% and I'll bet there are others who feel the same. In fact, the whole "visible abs" thing is pretty over-rated in my opinion.

Seriously, I just want to have the endurance that I had as a kid, to climb stairs without feeling as though I will die, to wear clothes that are 'normal people" size rather than "plus section" size.

It would behoove everyone in this community to consider the fact that we do not all have the same goals. I am pretty sure that if I were so skinny that you could see my abdominal muscles that I would start eating more candy each day! :laugh:

Live and let live! :flowerforyou:

:smokin:

I'm 31, been married 9 years, and the only men I care about impressing with my body are my husband and my doctor, neither of whom care about me being jacked, lifting hard, or having six-pack abs. My husband likes how women looked back in the day, thin but not hard. I happen to like that look, too.

Also, why does it seem like people who go on and on about clean eating and perfect diet guzzle processed protein powder (i.e. CRAP) by the gallon? Have your shake, leave me my sugar.

my 2 chocolate chip cookies last night were really good :happy: what was this topic about again.....:yawn:

This is funny! lol

Several years ago, I lost 50 pounds and went from a size 16 to depending on how it was made a 4/6. I did this not by dieting but as a choice to cut out fast food (which is the devil)! I maintained that size for about 2 1/2 years, then I went through a divorce and started dating a man who was a fast food junkie. Needless to say, I started eating fast food again. Well as you can probably guess, I gained 30 of the 50 back that i had lost. When we split up, I quit eating fast food but started working 2 jobs that put me at work some days for more than 16 hours a day. One of those jobs is a bartender, so I am constantly around fried foods. Although I haven't gained anymore weight, I have felt pretty crappy from eating like that. I need vegetables or I do not feel well. I started back trying to be mindful of what I am putting in my mouth 3 days ago. When I got out of bed this morning (on the start of day 3) I had already lost 4.2 pounds. Not only had I lost that weight, I'm not bloated and I'm already feeling better. I'm not starving myself but I am being very aware of what I am eating. With all of this being said, if I want something, I will eat it but I will try to substitute something else out for it. You can not make a change in how you eat and make it permanent if you are constantly wanting something else and denying it.

That's funny, many people on here who are in INCREDIBLE shape..... eat icecream and poptarts while posting on this forum....

Get over yourself, you can be fat on tons of healthy food as well as crap.

Must be that crazy calories in calories out thing..

AMEN x

Crap is good for my mental health.

Moderation being the key! My crap is beer and sometimes its not always in moderation! :blushing:

<---- Eats white bread (and dinner rolls) with margarine

YUM!

I've seen some of the diaries that you're talking about. White bread and margarine for breakfast, a Snickers bar and a bag of chips for lunch, etc. I really had no idea people ate like that!

I think she was being facetious.

After seeing the way this whole thread has gone, i agree with the person that said Unfriend them if it bothers you. It really is about each persons journey and if you need/want like minded people, delete the ones that aren't.

Or if you are really concerned, reach out to them and they may delete you for trying. :laugh:

Most threads could totally be avoided if people just post this junk in their newsfeeds instead of the forums.
