The only thing I would eat at The Cheesecake Factory is the cheesecake. I think their food is horribly overpriced and not that good. The cheesecake on the other hand - lemon raspberry with lady fingers crust.... I need a drooling emoji again, Ceci.

I still have five out of twenty-four Russell Stover eggs from my day-after-Easter discount splurge. I love being able to pull one out of my stash long after the holiday's over.I bought 2 cases of sour watermelon peeps off of Amazon.com. heh. In my defense, I love them. They don't make them all year. And at 130 for a box they fit nicely into my dieting 1-2 times per week. I hid them so my friends can't judge me for my massive peep stash but my boyfriend knows and teases me.
Boo:(. The Wedding Cake flavor was alright, but it was too sweet at times. My least favorite was the Russell Stover Big Pecan Egg.0 -
My hair is straight without the slightest wave to it but my baby has super curly hair and I have no idea how to deal with it. It's not getting longer it's just getting biger0

People, i know what it is like to count calories and binge eat and how it feels later. But going on a low carb diet made it all go away. No more longing for "something good" and no more going to five different stores to find the right kind of ice cream. I just dont want these anymore and i am happy with eating low carb food. And my health has never been better 
*queue sarcasm*
Feel sorry for us all you want. I know what it is like to avoid tasty fruits, potatoes, and rice and how it feels to long to eat baked potato. Now, I enjoy a high carb fruit based diet. I never crave anything sweet because I am eating sweet stuff all the time! I always have energy and I am happy I don't have to worry about my calorie intake. No more pointless counting and weighing. I enjoy physical, emotional, and psychological health by not eating any animal products.

@riinbale Read the above and how passive-aggressive and judgmental it sounds. There is no 'right way' to do anything. This is our vent thread. We do not pass judgement and advocate a specific way to fix something. We offer suggestions and support. We feel for each other, but we do NOT feel 'sorry' for each other. There is no pity here.
Sure there was some judgement and misunderstandings towards me and between a couple other posters in the past pages, but at least they had the brass to judge outright and plainly say "I think you are wrong" or "That hurt my feelings" instead of your piss poor way of trying to get everyone on the low carb bandwagon.
Sure we binge a bit and have cravings, but we let it out here. We tell our story and it allows us to pick up and move on. Good days and bad days, we are here for each other asking for support and offering it to others.
We are here to lift each other up and tell each other we are not alone. We are NOT here to stand on a 'low carb' or 'paleo' or 'vegan' pedestal and look down on each other.
If only you had said: "I confess that I feel sorry for everyone who doesn't know the ease and health benefits of a low carb diet. I know that I have been much happier and healthier since I adopted this lifestyle change and I wish other people would do the same so they wouldn't feel the need to binge and feel bad about it later."
Judge me if you want to, but I feel by saying what you have said, you have put yourself out there and shown yourself to be on your pedestal and very much alone.
ETA: Punctuation.
Applauds.
I feel telling people about my bad binge days on here in real life shows that even though I've lost a 150 pounds that at times it still is a struggle to not want to eat a pint of ice cream or eat a whole sleeve/package of cookies.0 -

Parenting is so hard, I am taking every effort to never have to do it.
And think about it, parenting with TWO parents is hard... and single parents...woah. AND if everyone is working?!
Everyone else can go ahead and make successful and wonderful humans. I do not feel strong enough to partake in that endeavor.
ETA: I am serious about everything in this post. I see parenting as very difficult. It takes skills and abilities that I am pretty sure I do not possess.
Here's something I've never confessed IRL before...
I don't enjoy parenting. I don't think I was meant to be a mum.
Don't get me wrong, I love my boys with all my heart. I give all of myself to them to ensure they feel loved, are happy and healthy.
But I just don't think I was cut out for it. I've had pretty severe postnatal depression since my first was born 3 years ago and I'm sure that contributes, but I do wonder if its just my personality. Also, I carry a lot of guilt over my depression, its so unfair to them and I worry I'm messing up their whole lives
Aaaaaaaand now I want to cover my feelings in food.
I could've pretty much wrote this post, word for word. I have a 3.5 yr old and an 8 month old (both boys). Everyone tells me I'm an awesome mom, but I feel like I'm failing at it constantly. It's not effortless for me like everyone else I see on Facebook. I have to WORK at my patience.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure I have PPD and my 3.5 yr old is a DRAMA QUEEN and can be difficult, but still. I give everything I have in me to them, literally, and I still feel like I'm doing it wrong.
Part of my inability to keep the weight off is I eat my feelings at night alone when they're in bed, because I sit and relive my parenting failures for the day in my head, over and over.
And hi, I've lurked but decided to post in the thread today
Welcome to the thread!
That's the problem with Facebook. People post all their best happy moments and achievements to make themselves look better or make them appear as they are having the time of their lives every single day. People want to show everyone that they are "awesome" at everything and make it appear that they are having the most fun and nothing is ever wrong. No one is going to post pictures of themselves when they are hurling over the toilet from illness (except when friends post photos of you being an idiot after a night a drinking), changing diapers, the fights you have with your spouse, etc.
This is why I don't have facebook - I don't feel it is "real life" - it is more an edited version of "real life"
My favorite friends on FB are the parents who tell it how it is, even if it means ranting sometimes! The ones who only post all the roses and rainbows? I want to punch them in the face.kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »lilaclovebird wrote: »I have been reading this and i feel sad for you People, i know what it is like to count calories and binge eat and how it feels later.

Yep. I've lost 80 pounds, I'm very close to my goal weight, and I'm still terrified my body will fail me by being constantly hungry and I'll gain the weight back. Honestly, the urge to eat a pint of ice cream and a whole sleeve of cookies is still there too, but it's relatively easy to deal with in comparison. Days like this... when I'm just so hungry I need 3000 calories to be satisfied... I just want to scream and cry. I'm still 1.5 pound over my weight from almost a year ago. Haven't been able to go back down since.
Confession - I want to punch people who say to 'listen to their body' in the face too. My body is a traitor piece of ****.

Don't hate me @Francl27 but I've had hardly zero appetite today and still have almost 1000 calories left for dinner. I hate when I'm not hungry because I want to use those calories.
I am often the same... I commute to work and back (19-20 miles) almost every day which nets me about 1,200 calories. Alternatively, I eat very little while at work (maybe 500 cals) so when I get home I still have a gazillion left to eat back. And aside from a reasonable larger meal maybe 1-2x a week, I never gorge due to lack of eating. Most often I end my day well below because I dare not awaken the beast>>>> the more I eat, the more I want to eat.

I hate how during the week I can't keep up with this thread because I'm so busy at work and I really do my best to chime in a couple times a day! Then on the weekend I have no problem keeping up because no one really posts then haha I guess I have no life!
Busy day for me, I came back to like 120+ to read. I usually stay off the forums on the weekends though so come Monday I have lots to catch up on.
I usually catch up Monday, but since yesterday was a holiday here I'm even further behind. Hello from page 602!
Welcome back!0 -

Um, you smell funny and everyone else is stupid. Is that judgemental enough for you to get baking? No minty gunk in mine, thanks.quiksylver296 wrote: »I confess that I am concerned with some of the judgment that is cropping up on our awesome NO JUDGMENT thread.

I'll take the minty gunk!
Got a box of Weight Watchers Mint Brownies & it's sad how small they're but for 80 calories they're a nice snack.0 -
Something's been missing from this conversation:
Although now that I'm allegedly a grown up I prefer cininamon.
Confession: I still have 1500 calories to get in today, but I overslept, and have no motivation to do so. At all. I'll probably force down some eggs later just to cover the protein for working out, but that may be it today. For those who say they don't like/don't believe/envy the people who are never hungry and have to fight to get 1000 in a day, believe me, it's not all sunshine and roses.
Also, add me to the list wondering if @AgentOrangeJuice's boss went rogue today.

Noodles are my guilty pleasure, I will weigh my portion out and then take another whole handful and not count it. UGH.0

yes they do - as long as it is the right mint/chocolate proportions and I like more chocolate than mint. I really like making mint nanaimo bars.
As for tattoos, I have been saving images for years trying to find the right one that I want to permanently place on my body. I already know where it is going (right ankle).
The worst flavor I tried was this organic Spearmint water I found at Giant. It reminded me of chewing gum & drinking water at the same time.0 -

Giant & Weis (local grocery stores) had their own Peppermint Crunch ice creams during the holiday seasons & they were so good! Weis even had decent sized peppermints to crunch on throughout.

Sigh. I thought we were doing so well since we have half a dozen flavours of Russell Stover eggs here... and now I find out there are more and better varieties in other parts of the world.
Please, nobody tell me there is a pumpkin Russell Stover egg (although that would be a weird juxtaposition of Easter and Thanksgiving) or I'll be on Amazon hunting the damned things down.

I always think it looks like a lot of food, until I see the numbers and they're really low.
Your diary seems good to me? Looks like you get a lot of vegetables. On the days you do a lot of running you could make a smoothie & put some higher calorie stuff in like peanut butter, banana, or w/e strikes your fancy.0
