Nothing Tastes as Good as being Skinny Feels...

False.
I sure love food. If it's healthy food and I over eat I feel normal and happy. However if it's things like Mcdonalds...processed foods, I feel rubbish, and I think the feeling is to do with the amount of fat and rubbish in the food
I could eat for Britain!

True and false.

Being slim will feel amazing.

But then there's chocolate cake...............................

TRUE!!!
I would much rather feel the confidence and thrill of being thin/skinny/healthy again, than taste a few more french fries for a minute or two. I continually remind myself that nothing tastes as good as thin feels when I realllllllllly want that glass of wine or that order of chicken wings drenched in blue cheese dressing Sure,...those things are freakin AWESOME....but that awesome feeling isnt there when I have to put tight clothes on the next morning, or when I see the scale go up and up and up.

Losing just a few pounds makes me feel skinnier and improves my motivation to lose more!!:flowerforyou:

My mom used that as her mantra and tried to make it mine. It is one of the reasons I have such a horrendous relationship with food, and with her for that matter.

So, no, I don't think it's true at all. Nothing is as good as feeling healthy and good in your own skin, regardless of if you get a treat now and then or not.

I must say that somedays I want what I want, food wise and have to have it. Do I have regrets after eating it, nope. I just workout extra harder and get back to the normal. So it still taste good and I still get to be skinny, just more work.

a minute on the lips, forever on the hips haha

but seriously would you trade that peice of chocolate cake for a hot body? of course you would...so yeah it has to be true.. i dont know one person who would would eat french fries if it instantly made them gain 50 lbs, because nothing tastes that freaking good, nothing tastes 50 lbs of fat good...

i know that one meal doesnt really make that much of a difference, but that is the point of the sentence, to pretend it does, so the next time you want to eat that cake, just imagen yourself 50lbs fatter the instant you eat it, it helps...[most of the time ]

Ah, you only live once! Enjoy life, live it to the fullest and enjoy your brief time here on earth! I sure as heck don't want to live a life devoid of the happiness I get when I treat myself to some chocolate . People who starve themselves aren't happy, they're miserable (speaking from experience!).

Don't get me wrong, I love the way it feels when I feel a little thinner than the other day, it feels awesome, but only because I've accomplished something. Everything in moderation, as my mum used to drill into me!

I agree that people who starve themselves are likely not happy, but in the same sense, people who are unhealthy or overweight are likely not happy either (speaking from experience. I love the hypothetical situation offered above:

If you knew that eating french fries or chocolate (since that seems to be the food of choice today), would instantly make you gain 10 lbs, would you eat it? Maybe once or twice you would treat yourself, and then work hard to get those 10 lbs off....but chances are, if you knew that it would continue to add up, most people choosing to live a healthy lifestyle or trying to lose weight would opt out of the chocolate more often than not.

That being said, I dont think its healthy to completely deny yourself the occasional treat or "bad food". Thats why its not a diet...its a lifestyle change. I know personally, if I tell myself I CAN NOT have something, I instantly want it more, and feeling deprived just sets me up for failure.
