Rant about stuff

I think the best way to eat is the one that you will follow as opposed to eating it because its better in someone else's opinion.

Like, for me, I used to eat all kinds of food that was fattening. so what will do it for me is eat food that I will enjoy eating. Like yesterday i got a container of crab salad that had some mayo. i didn't care about the mayo. i thought wow this is better than a whole pizza and i will eat it. so while the person saw the beautiful salad and only saw EXCESS MAYO, I saw the whole thing as a delish alternative to fattening pizza and fast food sandwiches.

also i will make something taste good so i will eat it. like salad - i dont really like lettuce salad but if i get it with fattening ranch dressing, i will eat it.

Im with you on the idea but in reverse, i wont make things diet in order to save calories, but i will eat a higher calorie nutitious food in order to be able to eat the nutritious food. maybe later i will have to change that but for now, i do see your point and i do the same but in a different way. but it works.

Eh. It's a forum, so everyone is here to discuss. Everyone wants to share (and overshare sometimes) about their own knowledge. Some people just suck at discussing, or they have fun being critical, or whatever. It's never going to be any different in any forum anywhere... Ever! I will advise that it's best not to rant and I mean this in the kindest of ways! It's a sure-fire way to start a rumble.

I get annoyed when people preach moderation. That doesn't work for me. Eating processed junk only makes me have these annoying cravings for more and when I don't eat it they simply don't exist. But I'm supposed to eat junk food because that's not normal and is too extreme. You need cookies apparently.

I doubt anyone has told you that you need cookies. Perhaps that restriction of food is just ignoring your problem, not correcting it, but certainly not that you need to eat X food. For all we know you just don't like cookies.


That said I need cookies. Daily. Sometimes twice.




On-Topic:

I find it super annoying when those people come charging in and putting down people's suggest recipes saying that eating in moderation and enjoying the real stuff is the best.

That works for them, GREAT. Some people prefer to eat lower calorie substitutes so that they can enjoy them more often, I know that I prefer that. I just feel that the whole idea of making this a lifestyle and not a diet has gotten people to think that it's bad to find low calorie substitute and I don't really understand why.

Feel free to ignore , I just saw another post about that on a good recipe idea, and I don't freaking know why they bother posting on it

I agree completely. There is no one magic way for everyone to go about their "journey". IMO, each person has to understand their own strengths and weaknesses and devise a system that works best for them -- that can be sustained over the long run. Believing that this is a "diet" implies that they plan to return to the bad habits/decisions when they reach their target weight.

I understand what you are saying about others pushing their eating habits on others but girl, screw them. lol... I could careless what none of you eat.

Yes, I do nonfat foods and milk, do not really use butter, etc,, so that I can eat more and that is what I do. Can't NO1 on this thread, board, or in my REAL life tell me nothing! LOL... I do what I want, when I want, and if I want to substitute this for something nonfat I will. Save your portion control rants to yourself because it won't change my mind. I do me, you do you.

People just need to worry about their own fitness journey and realize that most do not give a rat's *kitten* what they think or say if it doesn't apply to me, personally. Yes I'm very self-absorbed and yes it is my world. LMAO

Everyone have a great day.

Wow your so hardcore

Nah, just self-absorbed! lol

For some reason this post reminded me of that Maury episode where the girl goes: 'I don't care what ma mama say. I'm gonna have a baby!' :laugh: :laugh:

Yeah that post bugged me too.

I get annoyed at the amount of people that think it's a good thing to eat under 1000 calories a day, especially ones that are already bone-thin.

I don't understand why this is a topic. I get annoyed when my best friend gets a new boy toy each day, but it's not my life, so I don't bother complaining about her choices. What someone else does shouldn't concern you.

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

D4mmit! You beat me to it! I was going to post the gif..

I understand where you are coming from on this topic.
