I broke the cycle when I quit purchasing it. Simple as that! Can't eat junk if it isn't in the house.0

No it is not
Thanks I've only played soccer and they look similar with the goals and the way the ice is drawn. So do they not have offsides or positions in hockey? Are there lots of differences game wise?

I played both and the only thing that is the same is they are both play with 2 goals.

Well, these foods are designed to make you overeat. Keep in mind that, processed foods are low in nutrients,typically low in Fiber, and often high in Trans Fats and processed vegetable oils. Synthetic trans fats are known to promote inflammation, which is a hallmark of most chronic and/or serious diseases. As much as possible: Eat Real Food.0

I was bad enough at soccer that I would never attempt hockey. The only thing the girls on my team would let me do was knock the opposing team's forwards out of bounds if they brought the ball near me. I was left defense.MyChocolateDiet wrote: »emily_stew wrote: »MyChocolateDiet wrote: »

What foods are high in artificial trans fats?. I keep hearing this but really do not see many foods that have more than a trace in them nowadays.

Well candies/junk food are specifically designed and marketed to make you want to eat and buy more so I think they can be blamed a little bit. There is a lot of money spent on research and development by companies to investigate way to make their products more morish.
I'm not trying to negate personal responsibilty completely but it's helpful to be aware of the above point. In the end you need to figure out what works for you. It might be avoiding certain foods completely, only buying single serve packages, only eating them in the presence of others, keeping them out of the house, freezing them, dividing them up into single servings yourself, teaching yourself to eat them mindfully or any number of strategies.
That's what sodakat said. Like on one of the first few pages. Something similar.

KFC is more delicious than any other chicken, and laced with toxins such as baking soda. We are all going to deteriorate at age 30 if we eat junk food, something about an angry panda, sugar is more addicting than cocaine, and I believe there was reference to a billy goat as well.

Also something about ingredients you can't pronounce being dangerous. Lucky for me my major forced me to take organic chemistry for years so I get to eat anything I want!ryanwood935 wrote: »MyChocolateDiet wrote: »billieljaime wrote: »because youre not supposed to eat a pile at a time, a piece or two a day.

Why are you spreading lies about my (processed) oatmeal and baby-cut carrots?
It is hard to quit the baby carrots, though, true.

Unhealthy tasty food was the only joy in my life for a while. True it became a crutch but that wasn't really the food's fault. Fact is it made life bearable. So here you have it a life made longer and richer by fast food. And eventually I pulled myself outta that pit. And I owe i all to the tasty tasty food that made it worth putting up with one more sh*tty day.
I made the decision to eat the food and when the time came I made the decision to lose the weight. No matter what path you take you suffer. No matter how you live it marks you. Even people who are awesomely healthy and muscular in youth often suffer from crippling arthritis in later years cos they simply wear their joints out. I'm not advocating anything save for taking responsibility for your decisions.
I am much healthier now but I will probably always be a little chubby. This bothers me not one jot. Cake is awesome and middle fingers to anyone who says I can't have some. Doesn't mean I can't otherwise be strong and healthy. That's something I learned recently. And now I own myself. My mistakes and my victories belong to me and no one else.
You wouldn't think of accrediting an outside source for your fitness so why is it justifiable to accredit an outside source for your fatness? Blaming others for your mistakes is an inherently childish and immature act. Unless you where strapped to a bench and force fed you only have yourself to blame for everything.
