Okay I'm just going to say it..... MFP ruined my life forever!!! A little dramatic you say? No! Let me start this by saying I have only been on here for 2 months (62 days streak Whoo hoo!!) and I have only lost 10 lbs so far..... But...
Never again will I be able to look at a Krispy Kreme donut the same
Never again will I be able to blissfully drink a 44 oz soda again
Never again will I be able to blindly eat slices and slices of pizza
Never again can I be innocent in eating scoops of peanut butter and think there's no calories since it's not chocolate
Never again will I probably buy whole milk
Never again will I think that working out once a week will balance out all my sweets desserts and junk food
Never again will I think that French frys are harmless (stinking high calorie goodness)
Never again will I get seconds with out thinking about the consequences (30 min of working out? No thanks!)
But then again.....
Never did I realize how much I was eating
Never did I stop and measure things out
Never did I take a minute and check the serving size and calories
Never did I look for healthier alternatives
Never again will I wonder why I am gaining weight?
And never again will I have an excuse. (Shucks :p)

So thanks MFP. Thanks for ruining my life... I think I needed it :)

    You don't sound fully committed on the whole milk.

    I am sooooo glad MFP has ruined my life into a longer healthier one. .... and it has made calorie and nutrition so easy to follow, yet the choice of what I want to eat is always mine.

    "Never again will I wonder why I'm gaining weight" rings very true with me and I'm very grateful for this. As for the rest, I've been on mfp for two years and I have done the rest all along.

    I used to never think twice about having seconds. Now I stop and weigh and measure and make better decisions on everything I eat. I still have ice cream once in a while but where I used to have a bowl full, I measure out maybe 1/2 cup and that's it. Thanks Courtney for introducing me to MFP. Thanks MFP for changing my life for the better. :love: It's been 9 months since I started MFP and I'm 50lb. and many many inches smaller, and have gone from a tight 18/20 pants to a size 12! Good luck everyone.:drinker:

    I still use whole milk. Cooking with the watered down stuff is just no good.

    MFP has definitely taken all the fun out of "all you can eat" buffets and crawfish boils!
    Too funny.

    Such a great post, and very true! It's crazy how you can blindly eat. I can't believe some of the meals I was having were costing me 700-1000 calories each, even at small quantities. How many calories could really be in that small muffin? Who knew?!

    Still eating semi poorly now, but I'm counting every single calorie! Portion control is crucial!

    I will still save up enough calories through the week and work an extra barn shift on Saturday every so often so I can still eat a pint of ice cream without wanting to kick myself in the *kitten*.

    Then there are days that I eat a pint of ice cream and want to kick myself in the *kitten* but work my butt off for the rest of the week.

    All because of MFP, dang you MFP for help me take personal responsibility and for all those helpful educated folks, oh and for saving my life after I thought it was ruined.
