You have your own reasons and I'm not implying anything about you, please understand.
That said, overfeeding other people with treats is a *classic* ED symptom. I've done it; I've watched other people do it. It feeds your food obsession on one hand, and on the other, if other people get fatter you look thinner by comparison.
Not wanting to fall into that trap again is a big reason I don't bake anymore.
For reals?
Yes, for real.
If you want to get all evo bio about it, the physiological/genetic underpinning of the modern mental illness anorexia nervosa is an adaptation for surviving famine--things like amenorrhea and a very single-minded focus on food, triggered when body fat drops below a specific percentage or drops a significant amount in a short period of time (for example in the *modern* world, when someone with the genetic susceptibility embarks on a successful diet). Of course, in anorexia, it's about NOT EATING, but you surround yourself with food in every other way possible. Massive recipe collections. Huge shopping sprees of stuff you won't eat. Cooking elaborate meals for your family. Baking baking baking. Instagrams full of nothing but the same six chopped up vegetables.
To be clear, I'm NOT implying the OP here has a problem; there is simply no data to support or deny it. It's just all the people in the thread going, "Teehee how deliciously evil"--for them, I wanted to point out the dark underside of the behavior in some people.0 -

Same, but because I'm tired of people congratulating me for losing weight when I just lost water weight. Seems pointless. Better just log my real losses (although if I gain a bit one month, I'll record it, but I only record the lowest weight every month, pretty much).0 -

I can't believe I shared that.
I can't read this thread past your comment, you monster.1 -

But do you wear your heart rate monitor?0 -
As soon as I'm alone in the house, I eat anything and everything. I've been doing that for 3 years, it's amazing I'm not overweight0

I don't know if this bad or not but I threatened to stop eating when I first started dieting. I have severe depression so it was a risk but I honestly thought it would help me lose more weight. Took my dad and a few other family members to convince me that it would do harm than good. Now I'm seventy something days into this adventure and I still enjoy all my good food.

No, just found online that "The average man burns 4.2 calories a minute having sex, while women burn 3.1 calories. " and calculated based on that.0 -

Same! At the end of the day, I'm mad. When thin people talk about needing to lose 5lbs like it's the world's biggest deal I just want to shake them!
Also, I know people think that 'All about that Bass' is thin shaming.....but in reality, I just don't care. Every other song is about pretty thin girls, let me have one.
So I guess my real confession is that I'm bitter. Should probably work on that![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")

Oh. My.
How comparable is *kitten* (<- this is starred, seriously? Okay, we'll go with wanking) to sex, calorie burn wise?0 -
Reading all the poop posts makes me jealous.
I've never eaten so many vegetables or ingested so much water, yet I haven't taken a poop in 5 days.
I'm secretly hoping for a 5 pound loss when it finally happens.1 -

YOU WOULD THINK, right??? I've totally gotten super excited about a poop, only to discover my loss was minimal.
Sorry, I get super worked up when talking about poop. I just really, really miss being regular.0 -
I don't have carbs with my dinner so I have room for chocolate. Sweets/chocolate make up almost a quarter of my daily calories. I really need to get it under control.0
