I just wanted to say thank you to all you mfp folks who have said crazy stuff like "don't demonize foods" or "everything in moderation". I thought I needed to cut out whole food groups to lose weight. I was pretty darn sure it was going to be a barefoot stroll through hell to get through this weight loss thing.
Me: pot pies?
Me: NO POT PIES!
Me: cookie?
Me: NO COOKIES! What are you, crazy!?
Me: cupcake?
Me: WTF is WRONG with you!? Nothing BAD til we finish this! *smacksmack*
Me...binge/give up/starve/binge/explode to 300lb

You: blah, blah, blah (insert all the sane helpful advice here), blah blah blah, cookies

Thank you thank you thank you!
I ate a cupcake today.
It was lovely, and completely within my calories. I intend to eat more "bad" stuff 'cause its so freakin' good. I ate it! And I didn't hate me for eating a damned cupcake. Plus I've also lost 20 pounds since January 1. Cupcakes and weight loss. Must be part of that whole lifestyle change thing cause it was never a part of my quick fix yoyo dieting plans.
So here's a cupcake.

    Hurray for you!

    If you wanted it and counted it, then it's a win! I have found that if I deny myself then it just calls my name, begs me to over indulge and fall into that cycle you mentioned.

    Congrats to you and your ah-ha moment! :drinker:

    Thanks! Wish I'd figured it out at 16, but hey, better late than never, right?

    You get not just one, but TWO thumbs up!

    And that cupcake is so cute I just want to take a bite out of its head just to see it cry. I bet it's cute when it cries...

    *gasp*:noway: Sadist!

    Oh, wait...cupcake. Never mind.
    If it screams princess bubblegum might show up and bake it back together with science. And that would be fun.

    There will be no "sugar is evil" post in this thread! I am henceforth outlawing anti-carb anti-sugar anti-potpie anti-fruit propaganda in this land of happy weight loss!
