This thread is a comedy goldmine. I laughed all the way through the OP but the replies from the people who only read that, didn't realize it is a joke post then obviously skipped the other posts and are still giving heartfelt advice and encouragement 4 pages later are even more hilarious. Well played, OP.
goldmine?
meh.
not funny.
Exactly. "Meh."
Mimicking a serious mental condition doesn't make the OP funny.
totally not a gold mine...more like a sewer line...0 -
you read my mind. OMG you went over by 36 calories?? woopdie doooooo, go for a ten minute walk. bam gone.this can't be serious...
you ate some candy for the first time in 14 months and now you want to quit???
bahahahahahahahaha please....I swear you people are funny....
DONT GIVE UP!!!!!
Nobody likes to feel crappy, but if you give up on yourself, you're always going to feel crappy.
If I avoided candy etc for 14 months, I would be a miserable *****!

I go over my calorie goal often. I have still lost a lot of weight. It really won't hurt to splurge or go over sometimes. In fact, it's even helped with my weight loss.0

Wow! Get a Grip! You are HUMAN- Poor Meee's-No Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!0

Don't give up! I was just telling my friend that the reason I'm finally losing weight is because I'm not beating myself up for the bad days. I used to be stuck and I couldn't even lose a pound because everytime I went on a diet I quit after a bad day telling myself the same things you are saying, that I would never be able to do it. Now after a bad day, I just tell myself it's alright and try to get back on track and I do. Every day is different, our days are not always perfect and we can't expect ourselves to be perfect either. :flowerforyou:0

HAHAHAHA! Full time trolling pedantic sycophant.0 -
Calm down people, lol. OP is obviously poking fun at those who take themselves too seriously, wouldn't necessarily assume he is a troll though. Seems to me to be an obvious joke even though it's gone over a lot of heads...0

you weren't over by that much, we all go over because of certain things. I know I messed up Saturday, but heck, I started the next day off with a BANG! Don't give up , keep it going.0

I hope you are joking. 1200 calories is not enough for anyone long term anyways.0

:laugh:0

ima need you to remember that YOU ARE HUMAN and humans aren't perfect so what you went over 1200 calories one time, it happens, you are not a weakling and you should never give up! get up dust yourself off and keep on going.0

I feel like a total failure. I think i may just give up. I have had so much success overall but i just can't do it anymore. I had a M&M Halloween pack. I was doing so good!!! I avoided candy for like 14 months i think. I just feel like i should quit. I was unable to resist and for the first time i went over my 1200 calorie goal. I look at myself and i see a weakling. Someone that has no self-control anymore. Someone that will never make my goal weight. I only had 2 pounds to go but now who knows. After my failure today i just don't think i will ever make it. Not anymore. I just wish i had more self-control.
I see all these guys that are big like me staying within their goals each day and now i feel like an outsider. Seeing that number be red really hurts at my core. I was hoping i would be strong enough to do this but know i just don't know. Most days i don't even know what to eat to get to my 1200 calorie limit but today i was over by 36. I am such a complete failure.
Is this a joke.....0 -
So you went off track...............
Pick yourself up..........AND GET BACK ON IT!!!!!!!!
You can do this.........COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
I'm so glad you wrote this because this is how a lot of people feel when they mess up and it's just the truth to say how you feel. I also keep to 1200 cal/day. I'm 49 years old 5' 2", 125 pounds and sit at a desk for 8 hours + and I think that 1200 is perfectly reasonable for me and for lots of people. I get protein every 2 hours, bake my own protein breakfast muffins, drink a good amount of water and try to get in 30 min. of cardio (jogging or 1hr bike) every day. Don't let people freak you out. Most people in America eat waaaaay too much.
As for messing up. Go ahead and feel bad, but the fact is, you have to still wake up and face the next day, and taking care of your health is all about self love. Losing the weight the first time is fun. Losing it again for the 15th time is a whole other ball game. I recommend you be prepared for that scenario. We're with you. You can still do it. You have to do it. We only get one precious body.0 -
Thank you all for your help. I think i will be OK. Just got to get back on track you know. I really, really screwed up but i can still do this. Thanks.
I think I love you. That is all.0 -
You are are going to do great! I have gotten as far as I have because I did not deprive myself of anything! I have had chocolate, pizza, beer and even ice cream! If you don't allow yourself a taste of your favorite foods, even it it's just a bite, you could over-indulge at times and get to where you were, worrying about eating M&M's. Don't think of it as a Diet. Like Garfield said, "Diet is Die with a T." You are going through a life style change. Learning new ways of sustaining yourself with food. It's ok if you go over your calories once in awhile. It doesn't make any of us failures. It makes us human beings. Don't give up. You can do it if you want to. It's up to you and only you.0

You are over exaggerating completely....0

Honestly, as a dude sticking to 1200 calories a day, I bet your body was thrilled with those "extra" 36 calories. 1200 is the bare minimum for women - you should be eating more!
Not a failure, and quitting certainly isn't going to help.
Each day is a new day for a fresh start. Put on your big boy pants , recalculate your goals because you really should be eating more than 1200 a day (I'm a 45 year old chick, and I lose eating 1800+ calories a day!). Enter your numbers realistically - if you have less than 100 lbs to lose, don't put 2 lbs a week as your weight loss goal - .5 to 1 lb is sufficient.
Then meet that daily goal, exercise, eating back what you burned (because this is how MFP works - daily deficit is built into the goal, so you need to eat back the exercise cals to avoid creating too large a deficit), drink plenty of water, and get good rest. Rinse, repeat. :bigsmile: And fit a bag of M&M's into your goals every so often - it's okay!
But don't quit. That would just be silly.0 -

you ate a whole bag of MM's and you were only 36 calories over your goal for the day? Ummm is that all you ate?
You don't know what to eat to get to 1200? I have 1200 for dinner sometimes. How about a steak and some roasted potatoes...
two things here..
1. This is a BS troll thread
2. you have an eating disorder and should seek help...
thats all I got...
I agree...I think this is bs....0 -
Wow. Ok, I'm a little new to this and just read the previous posts. If this was a joke, it gave me the opportunity to see that I'm not the only one that falls off the calorie wagon. That made me feel better. So, thanks. :happy:0

You should've gave up after eating just half of it. You ate the whole thing? The shame.

I have a twisted sense of humor so maybe that's why I'm getting such a kick out of this and saw it as a joke thread right off the bat and my original assessment stands about this being a comedy goldmine.
OP was called out within three posts and said it was a Halloween size bag of M&Ms two times which really should've tipped people off. He also posted in the Introduce Yourself section even though he isn't new, mentions what a failure he is even though his ticker clearly shows he's doing a fantastic job and the crying smiley at the end was hilarious.
6 pages later people are still falling for it even though it has been well established this is not serious.←This part really cracks me up, knee-jerk posts based on reading the OP, taking it seriously and obviously not looking at the rest of the thread before saying "noooo don't". And I bet there will be more after this post.

Wow, I'm still at the beginning. You have come so far. NEVER GIVE UP!!!!0

Don't worry, if you had an M&M Halloween pack in July you're probably gonna throw up soon anyways.
Was there anything fuzzy or wiggling in it?0 -
I agree that you are being way too hard on yourself....one packet of candy does not equal failure especially if you look at your overall achievements. I'd hate to judge myself according to your standards because I would fall short weekly. Give yourself more pat on the backs for what you have done, keep your chin up and remember that you are human and will never be perfect in this lifetime.
I disagree you need to be harder on yourself. Please review the likes of Steve Martin, Woody Allen, and Gene Wilder for straight faced humor.0 -
Too true!0

Dude! You avoided candy for 14 months and you call yourself a faliure?? It's a slip up. We ALL slip up. Take it as a learning experience.
And you only have 2 lbs? How much have you lost already? Focus on what you've acheived and know that the number on the scale is not a representation of you! You are MUCH more then the number.
If the number is going to cause you to spin out of control - then throw out the scale!! It's sooo not worth it. Measure your progress on how you feel. Afterall, aren't you striving for a feeling?
Take care and don't listen to the negative inner voices.0
