I "forget" to log my calories, then "forget" just what I ate and how much.
I also keep my food diary private so when I feel honest and log things, no one else can see just how bad I blew it that day.0 -

What about making an ice cream sandwich with regular poptarts?
Had the Cake Funfetti Poptarts today with Ben & Jerry's Spectacular Cookie Core:).0 -

Yes! No news is goods news. *fingers crossed for you *0 -
I just don't want to eat healthy and don't know how to get myself to change. Salad feels like a waste of space on my plate and honestly many times I'd rather see that space be empty than filled with non-starchy vegetables. I can and often do happily eat just meat or meat and starch. If I put salad on my plate it's often for show. Even though I'm the only one who sees, still just for show. I dutifully buy vegetables and put them on the plate and throw them away. Either I throw them away because they go bad or I throw them away because I put them on the plate with no desire to eat them.
But give me potatoes, corn, onions, or cabbage and I'll eat them happily. I love the less nutritious vegetables to death.
Today I put spinach in my meatball wrap. But I only did it so it would look good in my food log. It added nothing of value to the wrap and it was only about half a cup (raw! so hardly any).
Whew, I haven't been able to talk about vegetables anywhere and my best friend always comments on my diary that I need to eat more vegetables.0 -
I had to go grocery shopping today - after being told I must eat at maintenance for at least three weeks. I totally did not buy brownie ice cream or Ghirardelli dark chocolate brownie mix.

As soon as people tell me a woman "shouldn't" do something I immediately want to run out and do it.
Agree 100%. I'm a woman working in a "man's" field (Engineering).
I can do anything a man can do, only better. That includes swearing and drinking beer.
I think it's awesome you are an engineer! I think I remember you saying that you were a young, single mom as well. You definitely can do anything
Definitely! I had my kids at 19 and 20, then got divorced and finished my engineering degree as a single mother of 2 babies.
I'm all about empowering women. We are strong. We are invincible.
I did the same thing! Young mother, then got divorced and finished my engineering degree. I love working with mostly men, women can be so b****y sometimes in an office environment! My daughter is now in engineering school - strong women make strong women

I'm so glad I got groceries for this week already and hopefully I'll forget about this by the time I have to go again.
That's just evil.
I don't think this is the word you mean to use.
The Pop Tart love is running deep today. I confess that I don't eat Pop Tarts or Oreos or ice cream and now I'm feeling like the odd ball. I don't mind. I usually am the weirdo of the group in real life, so I suppose it makes sense here, too.
Nah Bzah...nothing odd about that. I'm actually allergic to whatever is in the Oreo cream filling and it's amazing how many bewildered looks I get when I say I don't eat them. Same with Doritos and American made Nutella (it's different overseas). We can be weirdos enjoying other desserts. 0 -

So yay! I was under my calorie goal, but whoops! That wasn't healthy lol.
Also, can someone tell me the correct spelling: is it donut or doughnut? Or are both acceptable?
Canada: doughnut
US: donut
Canada: Timmy's
US: donut
FIFY

Oh hey look at this
http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2015/04/23/spotted-on-shelves-peeps-jurassic-world-dino-eggs/
Reminded me of someone who sadly seems to have been AWOL.
And now I want some pop tarts. Although I like ice cream sandwiches made with Special K pastry crisps more.0 -
What have you guys done to me??? I bought some brown sugar and cinnamon poptarts last night.... AND TODAY I FINISHED OFF THE BOX. Six poptarts today!!! Holy crap, how many calories is that? Apparently 1260, over my calorie goal. Luckily I ate almost nothing else today. Should I hit the stationary bike?
And I was claiming to hate poptarts!0 -
I can eat the Special K pastry crisps, only 100 calories, perfect! Plus to me they taste like mini pop tarts, especially the strawberry. Never tried a pastry crisp or a pop tart with ice cream.

Bwahaha! Sorry! I can't help but laugh. This will be me if I give in and buy some.0 -
I don't understand Pop Tarts. They taste like gooey, sugary cardboard.
Toaster Strudel, I can get behind, but Pop Tarts? Blergh.
I can't have either, but given a choice from when I could, I'd be Team Toaster Strudel. At least, until I got to the Toaster Strudel post in that breast milk thread. Don't think I'll ever look at them the same again.
Yeah, no. No thanks. Too strong of a mental picture there.0 -

It looks amazing, but since I was sitting here eating tuna while looking at it, that makes it an evil post.0 -

Rather than just having a salad have you considered making like a mixed veggie bake? I'll chunk chop like zucchini, yellow squash, onions, potatoes, and green & yellow peppers into a glass pan and mix it up with some olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, and Trader Joes sells something called 21 Seasoning Salute and I bake it at like 350 for like 30-45 min (pending on how thick I cut everything). If you want them a little crispy broil it on high for a few minutes at the end and toss some grated parm on top.
Orrr...in the summer make a quinoa salad with diced up tomatoes, cucumbers, tri color peppers, fresh parsley, and red onion. Some fresh lemon or lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil for dressing. So you can get your starch on but have a bunch of veggies masked in.
Life doesn't have to be iceberg lettuce and grape tomatoes lol.
Not judging, I just hate to see veggies get tossed.0 -

I keep my food diary private as well. I tend not to go over by too much. But I definitely could be eating better stuff.0 -

I am not a veggie person either. I throw out some but more often that not I just don't make them lol. I buy frozen so they aren't rotting in my fridge and are available when I do want them. I include veggies in my lunches, but honestly one serving a day is usually what I eat. And I feel the same way about salad that you do. It's never my first choice of food!
I'm trying to work more in though. Broccoli & cheddar omelets are really good, and I love BBQ'd red/yellow/orange bell peppers to eat with steak or include in fajitas/wraps.0 -
