Cookies taste better than skinny feels

Having an unhealthy relationship with food is the problem. Doing the bare minimum to lose half a pound a week or less takes almost no work but cutting out a little bit of calories. Moderation is key but if you are addicted to sugar thats not a good thing.

Hey that 1200 calorie cheese cake from the cheesecake factory taste better than skinny feels and so does that venti caramel latte that is 800 calories from starbucks I could get daily. She doesn't mention eating 1 or 2 cookies a day, its a huge plate of cookies. I dont see how this topic can be encouraging. EVERYTHING taste better than skinny feels, I would like to drink a gallon of chocolate milk..Its kinda like a "no ****" thing.

How about a topic regarding how no food is worth the deterioration of ur health

If you think I fit a whole plate of cookies into a 1700-1900 a day calorie goal...well you must eat crappy cookies. Whomp whomp.

If you want to discuss something else I suggest you go start a thread about it. This one is about cookies.

Im sorry those cookies dont look all that great. No cookie is worth someones health. Who even wants one or two cookies anyways. Then you have dozens of cookies sitting in ur kitchen while you are trying to lose weight? Yes makes perfect sense.

Don't put other people down because you lack the willpower to eat only 1-2 cookies. It's not the cookie ruining someone's health.

Everyone wants to talk about this whole will power thing. Hmm how does that work since most people here are obese? Other than all those ED people and fitness freaks who aren't smart enough to find a bodybuilding forum. So if I loved sitting around and snacking why would I keep those same foods lying around my house? If I love soda and sugar why would I have the temptation right in my cabinet? No one got this way eating 1 cookie. I use will power when I go grocery shopping and dont pick out foods that are highly processed and have tons of sugar/carbs. That is where the will power actually lies.

Wow.

You realize this is myFITNESSpal, right? We "fitness freaks" have just as much right to be here as anyone else.

And I personally find it empowering to learn how to be a healthy weight without cutting all calorie dense foods out of my life. This is the kind of success story that made me feel like I could succeed at this for the long haul when I first joined this site. Different methods and different success stories will work for different people. There's nothing wrong with that.

Clearly this is a place only for weight loss. Which is why we have a section for maintaining weight, gaining weight, and (holy crap) one for fitness as well.

Notice that all of the cookie lovers on this thread, well, aren't obese. Lol.

Shhhhh, you are ruining the logic of somebody who struggles to logic.

THERE'S MY PROBLEM!

I don't love cookies enough. THATS WHY I'M FAT *wail*

So because you lack willpower or discipline, or the ability to plan your food, no one else has the ability to do it?

Wow, looks like this post derailed since I first read it. I also found OP an inspiring success story, not to mention that it was funny, witty and very truthful.

BTW saw a recipe posted on here this afternoon for Bacon Bourbon Chocolate Chunk Cookies. mmmmmmmmmm bacon

People are always raining on the parades of those leas uptight than they themselves are. Truth.

I say the bacon cookies. I copied the recipe to use for some manner of special occasion. Not sure what yet though...

THERE'S MY PROBLEM!

I don't love cookies enough. THATS WHY I'M FAT *wail*

Hey, I got fat Undereating and binging and then overeating. There's all kinds of strategies.

Thank goodness it wasn't my indifference to cookies.

That's fantastic! I've sort of just started and I miss yummy cookies and spaghetti very much ;n;. I'm going to try and bring them back into my life (starting with those whoopie pies *drool*). I'm doing mostly treadmill right now and I'm perfecting my squats so I can start stronglifts 5x5 next month. It will be my first foray into weightlifting, so I'm pretty excited. I hope someday I can look as awesome as you do!

I promise you that as long as you stick to a moderate deficit, log as accurately as you can (weigh and measure) and pay attention to trends so you can adjust things as needed you be great.

There are sites for these things, like body builder.com and other websites based around things like lifting or how to deal with an eating disorder. This is a website that's main resource is a calorie counting concept, surely that means they intend their users to actually NEED to lose weight..Someone eating cookies is a success story to you? Go look at that other girl that lost like 90 pounds in 1 year.

Are you seriously dismissing a successful body recomposition because someone else lost 90lbs in a year?

I did one gram (?) of protein for each pound of body weight, not to exceed 120 grams (?). However, my calorie alottment is high enough that this was never something that I had to watch.

I'm at .85 grams per pound if body weight which gives me 117g at the moment. I do pay attention to my macros (I hit protien then fat then lolcookies. Or gelato.) But I do have a high enough goal that it usually happens without much work.

Except for my occasional high carb day, which I do biweekly or so.
