Cookies taste better than skinny feels

I guess I don't "love" food, any food, enough to get behind the OP (and a ton of other people on this board's) reasoning.

But all that matters is finding the right road for you. And on that I applaud the OP and all other fellow slow-cuz-I-love-cookies types who are fine with their progress!

Are you suggesting that she could have lost weight faster and therefore would have been more successful in your opinion?

I'm pretty sure the poster you quoted applauded the OP for finding the right road. It's in the quote, actually. Enjoy a cookie, no need for mad.

You should google "backhanded compliment"

You can't disagree with someone and still support them? Give it a try. It's way easier than rubbing your belly and chewing bubblegum at the same time.

You can disagree and support (not that I desire that person's support, but I suppose that's not the point) but that's distinctly different from what everyone aside from you can see as a backhanded compliment.

Any further questions?

I support you in your choice to consider it a backhanded compliment, but I respectfully disagree with your opinion. Was that a question?

Do I need to suggest you Google 'question' now?

Is that rhetorical?

Oh good grief the drama kings and queens on this board.

I congratulated the OP, and like minded people, for finding what works for them. That was genuine and sincere. I also shared my view, on an OPINION board, that I don't share that perspective. For me, personally, significantly slowing down weight loss for a "love" of any food isn't worth it. I eat whatever I like, but I prefer a faster weight loss and to not have cookies every single day, or most days. I don't agree with the basic premise of the thread, that ANY food tastes better than "skinny feels", once again in light of self. Big damn deal, it was an expression of a view. Me stating my view in no way negates the OP and anyone else's view. I firmly believe in the "do what works for you" motto, hence my avatar. If slowing your fat loss goals down in order to continue a love affair with cookies (or whatever) is worth it to you, more power to you. I can dig it because cookies are pretty damn awesome. All that matters is each of our contentment with our individual roads.

Simmer down for crying out loud. One would think all those cookies would put you people in a better mood!

I like the freedom to go out with my husband and friends and take down a 30 ounce steak, a ton of fried calamari, and an apple crumble without worrying about the calorie content to be worth far more than skinny feels. Biting into the butterscotch cookies I made and knowing that its the very first recipe my gram taught me tastes far better than skinny could ever feel.

I've been skinny. It's actually not overwhelmingly awesome or amazing or life affirming. All of the above things however are just that.

IBut that's just me, drawing out the metaphor when in fact the post isn't actually about cookies or food, but rather that living life is more important than 'skinny'.
