    At 140 calories each, couldn't you have just seen less of her / them / whatever?

    I'm just surprised that on page 2, no one has suggested 'moderation,' yet.

    Perhaps you should read it again?

    I really hate when I go to indulge in what used to be one of my favorite things, only to find out I don't like nearly as much anymore.

    I agree! Last week I was on vacation and when we stopped at convenience stores along the way I realized I've become a huge pain in the a** because I couldn't choose a snack and kept thinking how I'd much rather have (insert food I love to make/buy now that fits well into my macros) instead of the chips or candy bars I would have loved a few years ago.

    Ha... got it...... I just love how MFP preaches moderation, even to those who can't 'do' moderation. I was surprised that you made it to page 2 without anyone else exhorting the rewards and downright necessity of moderation. I guess everyone else's reading and comprehension skills are better than mine. Or they just know when to keep their mouths shut. :huh:

    I had to abandon/drop-off most of a 24-pack of Cokes in the office break room this week. I'm sure they'll find good homes.

    Oh yeah. They put the "crack" in cracker... Can't go near those damn Goldfish. Ever.

    I had a bad breakup with Cheetohs. Every now and then they try to start something with me, but I have to remind them that I've found someone else. Maybe someday, but probably not. The oily, dissatisfied feeling in my stomach is a grim reminder.

    At least they got to split the cab, right? :laugh:

    So True!

    Goodbye Pepperidge Farm Double Nantucket Dark Chocolate Crispy cookies. Oh baby, you know you're tasty - and we've sure had fun over the years - but I've moved past you. Don't get me wrong - this morning was fun, especially with that sexy Creamy Jif making our threesome - but after it was done you just laid there, just all heavy and oily and overly sugary, and you left me feeling stuffed but unfulfilled.

    Look. I was weak. I was driven by memory, not where I am now. I just hadn't seen you for a while and I thought we could maybe get back together in a moderate, adult way. I thought we could sit on the sofa and just have a little pecking. But no. Like always we went all the way. I was wrong - you and I were always a toxic mix. I guess I needed our quick toss in the kitchen this morning for me to truly - pardon the pun - digest that.

    Sorry. That was cruel. Please don't get upset. You know there are zillions of folks out there who crave you. You'll find another, but just not me. So yeah, you really need to go - I'm going for a run and I don't want you here when I get back. Do you mind sharing a cab with Jif? Thanks. All the best.

    Well done!

    I totally freaked out and thought Pepperidge Farm was closing up shop.

    Can I have these cookies?!?! I mean, it's a sin to throw them out.

    Maybe you can have a rendezvous or a quick round the block with 1 of these scrumpdillyumptious
    Popchips Sweet Potato (23 chips or 1 oz) is 120 cals which is like slightly more than 5 cals each
    Private Selection Belgian Almond Thins have 18 cals (for 1) 1 Toll house cookie has 90 cals
    Not trying to tempt you for a sloppy seconds to your 1st loves or anything :flowerforyou:

    This was the most inspiring post I´ve read in a long time. Clever, funny, surprising, kind and supporting. That´s the way to approach the relationship many of us have with food. You lifted my spirit this morning. Thanks, I needed that so much!!!!
