      lol, dude you have over 150 lbs lost. obviously what you are doing is working and likely those giving you grief haven't lost a fraction of what you have.
      I have about 2-3 servings, 1-1.5 cups of frozen yogurt or ice cream pretty well daily too.

      I have never had a pop tart in my life. I feel somehow abused.

      Do they do mail order?

      Hmm . . .overnight delivery in winter should be a safe bet . . . as long as you're in the northern hemisphere.

      OMG, who the hell cares! It's your life.

      Personally I am more of a food snob when it comes to myself, but hey, you probably care as much about what I eat as I do about what you shovel in your poptart hole.

      LOVE! I may be stealing that. :bigsmile:

      PS - OP we're BP twins! Pop Tarts and ice cream are only bad when you have the wrong combination, e.g. my honey flavored Greek froyo and chocolate fudge Pop Tart. Cinnamon brown sugar was definitely the way to go!

      My question is, why do people other than yourself have any say or opinion of what you put in your body? Eat pocket lint and dog poop if that's what you want to eat.

      eat whatever you want........... why would the rest of us care?
      No kidding! Wearing the whole pop tart & ice cream badge of honor around here is so old. Yeah, yeah, many of us eat em but who cares? Quit sounding so desperate to argue.

      I'm nuts for cherry Pop Tarts but the dye used in them gives me migraines so I can't eat them.

      :(

      Live it up, Pop Tart eater.

      If I had a 4,000 calories per day budget, you better believe I'd be spending some of that on some junk food...probably not pop tarts because I detest them, but definitely some cake and ice cream among other awesome treats. Having just over 2K to spend though kind of puts a damper on such things.

      Here's why they're bad:

      -You enjoy them very much.
      -You get annoyed when people tell you you shouldn't be eating such unhealthy things.
      -You post several threads with pictures to convince people it's ok.
      -One of these people reads these threads while highly intoxicated.
      -Said intoxicated person drunkenly stumbles 2 miles round trip to the grocery store to get Pop Tarts and ice cream.
      -Intoxicated person discovers several hours later that she lost her credit card and DL during her drunk-munchy trek.

      You wouldn't really want to be responsible for that, would you?????

      "Please, 'convince' me of a fact that I have established in my head to be true, and I actually have no intention of changing-- I just want to prove that I'm such a special snowflake that I can eat 800 calories of sugar every day and flaunt it to the fatties."

      Oh and, Pop Tarts taste like cardboard to me now. They were definitely the *kitten* when I was little though. As for ice cream, it's bad in tub form because I suck at portion control. I like buying it in the bar form, or those little $1 cups, but they're more expensive that way. Plus it's a little depressing to use a plastic spoon the size of your pinky to scoop out your pathetic little half-cup serving of ice cream. If I'm going to have ice cream, I'll plan ahead and specifically plan out a generous serving into one day, indulge by buying some at an ice cream shop or restaurant, and then not have any guilt about anything sitting at home calling my name from the freezer.

      Question: by what method have you determined a daily calorie goal of 4000kcal? I would say that a calorie intake of 4000 for you is a recipe for 1.5lbs/week or more of weight gain... was this a mistake?

      This ^

      OP are you sure you didn't want people to glance at your food diary just so they can see how many calories you consume daily?

      That's quite wrong actually and you miss the entire point. I comment on a lot of threads trying to inform people that they don't need to give up things they like or love. Nor do they need to fear certain food groups without a specific medical reason to. I used to be overweight I understand the struggle. Then am bashed, challenged, and/or called out on my diary. People don't need to over complicate things to manage their weight. Most have issues with food in general without all the rhetoric and propaganda that's spread around the forums here.

      In fact, I believe I am NOT a special snow flake. THAT is the point entirely.

      Naw, I'll be cutting my intake of Pop Tarts & ice cream in half at the end of the month if you must know. Changing goals. If they were truly like cocaine, I wouldn't be able to do that.
