    When I eat things like Pringles, I can't just eat the serving size amount. I eat the whole container in one sitting, even if I'm not hungry.

    Me too and I think it's designed that way, too cruel. How is it that some people take a few out and put the can or whatever away where it stays for days or weeks untouched??

    It took me MONTHS to actually measure how much creamer I put in my coffee. For a while I lied and logged 2 tbsp for 70 calories.

    And then I stopped logging it at all. ¬_¬

    And then when I was stalling for two weeks in loss, I hunkered down and measured. 1/2 cup of creamer at a whopping 235 calories. Such a bummer!

    I had to do a week of black coffee only before I couldn't take it and switched to sugar free/fat free creamer. Now I drink more coffee and only a 1/4 cup of creamer. A 60 calorie coffee is better than a 235 calorie one. I still miss my calorie laden coffee though. :bawling:

    My coffee is so filled with cream and sugar that it isn't a drink, its a dessert. I measure one serving of cream and one serving of sugar in the cup then add the coffee until it is the perfect pale brown. Its not much coffee in a very tiny cup but it tastes just the way I want it. I can only have one cup a day or a won't be able to fit any food into my calories but it is worth it.

    I'm already 200 over my goal and it's only 3pm. And I've been mostly eating things that are supposed to be filling. And I'm still hungry. This week has been ridiculous.

    I was having two cups or so. I'd drink one right when I got up (hazelnut coffee with hazelnut creamer) and then put some creamer in my travel mug for work. Now I just drink tea at work.

    They provide free coffee, but it is the RANKEST, MOST DISGUSTING coffee you have ever tasted. So I just drink black tea to keep me going. And they just have generic sugar and powdered creamer that does nothing for the taste. So I just drink my black tea and herbal teas.

    I saved up 600 calories over the week in anticipation for today and all my sister had was some ham and rolls.

    I did help myself to five rolls and had enough calories left over to finish off my B&J pumpkin cheesecake pint along with the sweets I already had logged. :wink:

    I liked Daredevil. I wish the show was released the standard one episode a week because having all the episodes available at once just feels daunting and I can't stand binge watching.

    I wear Spanx ALL the time...even to the gym.

    I ate all my calories one day in the form of bacon and eggs. All. Of. Them. Won't lie, it was pretty glorious.

    So I'm now looking at 3500 extra calories this week... I'm just so hungry, I'm just not even craving anything but eating anything I can find hoping it will help... and it doesn't. I hate PMS. I'm seriously in tears over this... every single month, I end up undoing 2 weeks of deficit because of it...

    I tend to make almost every weekend a cheat weekend, but it works for me, so there you have it.

    I confess to giving into food easily... I do. I do. Sometimes, I don't even try to fight it. I could be 20 lbs lighter by now, but I. Like. Food.

    And food likes me back.

    I haven't lost weight in a week--actually, I gained a pound--and it's enough to make me want to just not eat. It's already 5pm, so I could sleep early and probably make it through without eating...

    So really I have no idea - I'm on IUD number 2 so no period or PMS for more than 6 years now - but this doesn't sound right. Have you talked to your Dr. about this? It seems so much harder than it should be for you. If you have, sorry, it sounds awful. Food should not make you cry.

    You'll get through it. How do you feel about whipped cream and mousses? Lots of volume for not that much actual calories, so it feels like you're eating more than you are, and you can still add chocolate to it to tell your hormones to f off.

    I'll talk about it to my doctor when I see her. I'm not even craving chocolate at all. I'm just hungry. I'd just eat pretty much anything, seriously, it's just that bad.

    Quite sure I wrote a similar post a few weeks ago too... I'm telling myself that it will pass...

    Sometimes if somethings really small I justify eating it. Sometimes one bite can have 200+ calories ;(

    I justify little nibbles too (and don't log them) yet other times I get really nit-picky and log a stupid piece of gum. Pfft, go figure! :lol:

    No matter how much weight I've lost, I still look in the mirror and see the girl 129lbs ago. I struggle on a daily basis to not cry when I look at myself especially when I need to get dressed for the day and have to change three or four times till I feel ''comfortable'' with what it looks like.

    ...I eat Natvia sweetener, and those little sweetener tablets you put in drinks.

    I also eat the natvia sugar free strawberry shake mix. I can't help it. I love the taste and the texture.

    Anorexia is a *kitten*!! F**k her! Recovery is hard, has been hard, but the good days just make it 1000000% worth it.

    I get really jealous when other people get delicious food, and I don't. My husband is going out for ribs tonight with a buddy, and I'm scowling about the spaghetti I planned for dinner.

    I get irrationally angry at my husband because he goes out to lunch every day and I'm stuck eating leftovers or whatever I have time to throw in my lunch bag.

    I think we talked about this before, way up thread. Food jealousy. The struggle is real.

    PS- didn't make spaghetti. Got chili cheese fries instead. Whoops.

    We did talk about this. Yum, chili cheese fries.

    Does anyone binge on "walking dead" ? I think me and my daughter have a million times lol mostly my daughter , she controls the remote.

    Totally! It's one of my favorite shows. I watch every episode as it airs, and then when they go on hiatus, I binge-watch all the seasons at some point so I can get my fix :)

    I'm doing that right now. When the most recent season ended, my husband and I started watching from the beginning. We're currently on season 4. Love that show so much. I now want a samurai sword so I can be a badass zombie slayer like Michonne. B)

    A couple of pages ago someone mentioned I should try some Dark chocolate dreams wonder peanut butter. I was at the store and it caught my eye so I got it today. I haven't tried it yet! but thank you for the suggestion. The reason I didn't eat it was cause I was in the kitchen and about to add some fruit with it and my sister comes in with a iced fudge brownie that she bought from the store and asked if i wanted a peice.. I haven't had cake/brownie since I started on April 1st and its my most fav dessert. So I got a piece. MFP says 1/2 piece is 260 cals.. I tried to make the piece a perfect square. who knows who much it was.

    Which brings me to something else.. I finally ordered a food scale - just waiting to pick it up from Wal-mart. But once I get it.. and I weigh my meats/pasta/and breads/veggies.. Do I have to create a new dish for each? to put the oz/grams? Is that how it works? Cause what ive been doing without a food scale is using the bar code scanner - and i just guessitmate on the grams or Oz's that OTHER people have done. and the calories.. Do you just still add how many calories are in one serving and MFP will calculate the cal's according to how many servings you have?

    I have almost 600 calories left for the day, and all I can think about eating is 2 unfrosted strawberry Pop Tarts. Luckily, I have 2 boxes in my pantry.

    I have a sword on my Amazon wish list specifically for this purpose :) However, I'm fairly certain that in the event of an actual zombie apocalypse, I will either a) step out of my house strapped to the hilt with weapons and a kicka$$ attitude only to be bitten 10 seconds later; or b) I will be Otis - too slow to run away and left behind as walker bait.

    I made a mug cake with Equal sweetener yesterday and it was awful. I was so excited to find the sugar at my aunt's this time that I made two cakes and ate them.

    My aunt's smallest dog is an a--hole. He's a yorkie who gets into EVERYTHING if you turn your back, especially unattended food. He's so sweet and cuddly, but he is the devil. Once when I was dogsitting, he jumped on the kitchen table and ate a bunch of my food that I brought with me while I was in the shower. The kitchen is gated from now on when I shower.

    We don't have cable just Netflix/Amazon prime/Roku channels. I binge watch everything, then get annoyed when there is nothing left to watch.

    I do not think it is humanly possible for that to happen.....my DVR is always so full, plus I always have series on the go online and a never ending list of movies, most of which I will most likely never get to watch because it keeps growing! How does one run out of stuff to watch?!?!?!?!

    I haven't gone over my calorie intake in over 50 days. My fitbit says i burn between 2300 and 3000 calories a day and I have only lost 5 pounds. I think they're is something wrong with me, but I am afraid to go to the doctor.

    If you have a DVR you have cable right? I only have Roku too, just this week the new season of Son's of Anarchy came out and I'm up to episode 6.
