And to everyone viciously posting pictures of food....that's messed up and definitely not supportive.

YOUR friends don't put the food in YOUR mouth.
My best friend does. He's my husband. He lovingly reaches over the table at dinner a forkful of whatever yum is so insanely delicious I HAVE to try. I trust him for judging what is "cheatworthy" and so far have not been let down.0 -
Oh my God... you guys are sooo bad!:laugh: And Karmel Sutra is my Favorite!
Cherry Garcia. ...next!0 -
Um, I really don't know what to say. OP, if you are serious then there are some issues you need to personally address, and see a shrink over or go to an OEA meeting.
Pictures of food ... they're just another form of an excuse to eat bad foods.
I'm sorry that you have struggles though, but since my diet is anything but 'clean' I don't think friendship is best (guess that's why in 2 months I've only lost 16 and not 20 lol...)0 -
I'm hungry now. I thought I was okay till the cheesecake pic.

I am not trying to be condescending when I say this...
You have to take accountability for what you eat and how much you exercise. It doesn't matter if your friends post pictures of food. If you want something that is shown in the picture, find a healthier version of it to help maintain your caloric intake or work it off. Social support to lose weight is essentially yet another crutch I see many people using here on MFP. When the social network fails or life gets in the way, these individuals relying on the social network are just going to fall back into their old routine. Asking for diet suggestions can be done on the forums and if they wish to see your diary, you can make it publicly available without adding any friends. Try to support yourself and not entice the drama of MFP support friends.
Good luck.
The FORUMS are where all the drama is!! OP is obviously into the drama or he wouldn't have announced he was deleting people for positing food pix!
I don't post food pix but that doesn't make me supportive. Others that post food pix may also be the first to encourage him to go to the gym on a slump day. They can be supportive and also post whatever they like on their own pages!
IMO, OP should have quietly deleted friends and found new ones without announcing it to the world!0 -
Did you try stuffing pizza down your pants when you were lusting over the food porn?
Oh wait, I think I saw that in a movie.... never mind. Dodgeball a true underdog story.0 -
Almost all People who are overweight are that way because of the choices that they have made (and believe me... I know)... even if they are genetically prone to a larger size. It may be challenging for a person as such to lose the weight, but they will always be overweight until they make that determined choice to lose it... and become committed to that choice.
Being committed to that choice means one must be willing to pay the price! What is the price? It is different for different people. But the price might be changing your friends... I know that I learned early on that you will become like who you hang around. Therefore, if you hang around overweight people, you will easily become desensitized to that larger size and begin to pick up on their eating habits... simply put, behave like an overweight person, or do what an overweight person does... and you will become overweight. The same is true with being healthy, or wealthy... do what they do... and you will eventually have what they have.
Of course, part of the price will be changing your eating and exercise habits. You WILL have to say to "NO" to certain foods... but, another thing you will have to do WITHOUT A DOUBT.... you will have to remove every excuse as to why you cannot accomplish your goal. Any excuse will tear away at the success of your desire. That means.... no one is to blame for what YOU allow... just the same as you cannot blame me for your poverty.... you cannot blame me for you being overweight. It just simply becomes an excuse that will rob you of your success.
So, how determined are you...? It will show in your actions. The intensity of desire is measured by the intensity of consistent activity.
I wish you the best.

I can't be bothered going through all the pages again to find the quote of the parody of bohemian rhapsody that someone did using fitness related lyrics, but I feel as though its awesomeness needs to be acknowledged. You win some internets!0

I thought that was spaceballs when they eat "pizza the hut" LOL0 -
I must admit ...OP whether intentionally or not, created a pretty epic troll thread...0

I will admit that it isn't helpful when you keep seeing delicious food but.... you have to man up! take responsibility! they aren't shoving that food literally down your throat are they? no no no no no! don't blame others for something you should be controlling yourself! if you always do that you'll have to be a hermit at home with no friends and no access to the outside world! I mean with that logic, what happens when you walk down the street and see a mcdonalds advertisement? or to the left, a burger king one.... you have to have self control and more than anything, you should be looking at your friends as driving you away from those things. Pushing you to realize that you have a problem!
no, but they are shoving it down her internet throat which is worse...0 -

I mean you have to be joking right?
It's their fault that YOU haven't been losing?
I'm not joking at all!
While I quite agree that blaming your friends for your lack of weight loss is a bit over the top, I can totally understand deleting friends that are not providing the motivation that you need. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and if food porn is a weakness for you, then it's best to be rid of it. Good luck to you!
It sounded like a request for friends that would not fill his news feed with food porn, not an announcement. Though it could have been worded a little better, I honestly don't see why everyone is taking offense. If all those with the negative posts (and that includes the food porn) are from his friends list, then I completely understand why the OP deleted them. If not, then it's fairly bizarre that they'd care so much.0 -
Hmmmmm Well If they annoy ou drop em.... but do not blame them for your lack of progress. That statement alone tells much.
Do you need guidance ?0 -

Yes, but it's really fun until the forum police come along.0 -

Omg... I just thought she was on a newly developed plane of sarcasm I had yet to discover... -_- But now I realize you're probably right.0 -
