I didn't realize these existed--I want one now!!! Sprinkles are AWESOME! I also hear you on eating three of them....I could easily do that.0 -

In the Court of Extreme Defenses (a non-existent 'MFP tribunal' that I just 'made up' (for the purpose of this post )), I would venture to say that your Defense Attorney might argue that even if you googled a calorie count for "breathing - while lying motionless", it would seem to not officially overlap with the BMR portion of TDEE, if only because you'd be conscious (versus sleeping), and somewhat stressed (trying to figure out what other 'avenue of activity' to google -- and stress can technically result in a different calorie burn rate (though whether that difference were above or below what is captured within TDEE could be left for debate -- and reasonable doubt is all you'd need! ;P ))...
(Note: I'm conveniently ignoring the holes in that 'argument' (logic and otherwise), and assume that the trial prep for the attorney in question is such that they'll stand ready to deliver (just in case!) an Oscar-worthy performance of fifteen words from Al Pacino's opening statement from "And Justice For All" ("You're out of order! You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order!")... )
Oh, and the following article has some URL text that would seem to 'speak to' that specific form of a highly-sought-after 'holy grail'...

Confession: I had Biscoff cookie spread in my shopping cart this weekend. I put it back. I'm not sure if I'm proud or sad.0

I need to remind myself to do this when those things jump in my cart like that. 0 -

Who says you only get one?!
Me, kinda. But I may have to break my own self-made rule...
Treat Yo Self! I sure hope you get that reference, but if I remember right, you don't want that show so you won't. Trust me, it's a good and rather appropriate statement!

I'm pretty good at restricting when I'm at work, or home alone, but I feel obligated to eat my normal (read: excessive) quantities at home when I'm with my family, especially around my sister. Then I end up binging because OM NOM NOM FOOD, and because I'm ravenous, and I'm so ashamed of myself that I don't log the calories, or simply punch in "1000 calories" so I don't have to write something like "I drank too much" or "I was at a Chinese buffet and well..."
There are some foods where I can't eat just one bite. I'll eat a bite... and another... and another... and before you know it I've downed the entire container. I envy my sister's ability to eat miniscule quantities of food and be satisfied. I've taken to drinking broth with my dinner so I can eat a small/normal portion and still feel satisfied... but the sodium is so high orz
Oh yeah. I know some people who can have a tiny piece of cake and be satisfied and I'm seriously really jealous of them. Sure, I've improved a lot with moderation, but I still have to have seconds of dessert during events etc... just can't help it!0 -

I think we all have those foods. Now, most of the time I will take a serving and put the rest away. Mine:
- Salt and vinegar chips/Doritos/Honey BBQ Fritos/Hot & Spicy Cheez-its/pork rinds/beef jerky
- marshmallow fluff
- m&m's
- cookies
- pork and cabbage dumplings
- my mom's stuffed cabbage rolls
- stuffing and gravy

Oh, believe me, it's not that I don't treat myself. I'm pretty spoiled. I have a fancy car that sits in the garage (that we didn't buy new). I'm just ticked that my first new car is a tiny little clown car.0 -
I am now 170lbs I spent 2 years going from 191 to 123. I had the help of a fabulous online trainer. I ate 2 cinnabons yesterday with at least 64 grams of carbs each. My exercise has been off. I;ve been feeling sad that my ex died. My current boyfriend calls me names. We broke up when I was 135lbs. I started going out with him again at 151. He calls me fatty or fat *kitten*, thunder thighs. I know I am responsible for my weight. My exercising was so strong when I lost weight the first time. Many days I get hungry and eat over the limit. My preparation isn't the best. Plus I am drinking 2-3 glasses of water. I know I can turn this around. My fitnesspal helped me once but its so easy to gain weight back. The biggest thing I've said is I'll start tomorrow. That's BS. I will not say that again to let me be unhealthy today. I got this...
Well you can drop 160 pounds easily by dropping your jerk of a boyfriend, IMO.
And I'm sorry your ex died
Exactly what I thought. You deserve so much better!
Me too! Me too! You are worth much more than that!0 -

Confession: I judge people who don't know how to drive a stick shift. I feel internally smug and superior towards them.0 -

That sounds like a good thing...unless you're causing injuries from over-training or something.0 -

Me, too! When we bought this car, the girl working at the car lot had to have someone else pull it into the garage because she didn't know how to drive a stick. I was thinking, 'you gotta be freakin' kidding me! You work at a freakin' car lot!"0 -

You are responsible for your weight, but you are not responsible for his mouth. Don't let him talk to you like that. You can definitely turn this around! You've done it before you can do it again.
E.T.A. I am very sorry for your loss.

Aaaand now my 15 yr old car is in the shop again, and I'm crossing my fingers that my mechanic will say "time to junk it" (instead of fixing it again) and FORCE me to get a new one (and it will be NEW.)
However, if he says "I can fix it for $400", the Cheapness DNA in me will fix it & drive it for another year. Thanks, Pops!
Overall, that's not necessarily a bad thing to have! But, it can hinder you at times, particularly if you are repeating a pattern from a parent that you don't necessarily like. If you buy something brand new, what will you get? (I can relate because my dad and I are both the same when it comes to money.)
I wouldn't go overboard. I don't have anything I need to compensate for with a ridiculous car, heh.
Honestly we might just do a 2 yr lease on a economy hatchback, and sock money away for a cash car after the 2 yrs are up.
After the last couple of years of the War Machine, driving a headache-free car sounds like heaven on earth
Sounds reasonable. Good financial plan. And yes, driving something reliable is nice. That's the reason I keep my 2003 Tundra. I know the entire history of it and it runs great. Still looks good, too. I really want a new Tundra because I like the new body-style, but I'm not giving up mine until it dies.0 -

I also really, really want Toyota to make a ridiculous luxury/sporty version of the Prius for those going through midlife crises and name it the Toyota Priapus. It would just be so perfect.
That's exactly when that salesperson would have lost my business!0 -
Add me to the bad mood party...
I have a UTI, and I'm so cranky about it. I went to the doctor, and they won't prescribe me antibiotics until the lab work comes back. I've just been eating tons of chips to make myself feel better.
I'm way over committed this week, I feel like garbage, and I just want to lay on the couch and eat cake. Woe is me.0
