Dont tell me your dieting while eating a snickers.....

On the positive side, periworkout is the best time to get your high gi carbs

Maybe she was trying to bulk up?

But yeah, I usually direct people to this site when the topic of nutrition comes up. Once they see how quickly the calories add up compared to their hard workouts, it's usually quite an eye opener.

This just reminded me of how in our office there is a basket that my co-workers keep filling up with little chocolates. Before I started doing MFP, etc. I would beg them not to bring in the chocolate, but to bring hard candies instead, because I could resist them. But then, every day I would have a decadent M&M Fudge Bar from the cafeteria. I thought I'd better stop complaining about the basket. Now I bring a Yoplait Chocolate Whip for my dessert...still not the healthiest yogurt choice, but a better choice than I had been making.

If you have to compare yourself to other people to feel better about yourself, well they're not the more pathetic ones.

I am in the obese BMI range right now. I'm not going to go off on my sad story of how I got here, because it doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm here, and I decided to take the proverbial bull by the horns and change that.

I don't go to my gym in the evenings at all anymore (I used to run for the evening kids club hours if I didn't make it in the mornings) because there was a woman who seemed to be in there every evening I was. Every time she came in and I was going at my manageable pace on the elliptical trainer, she'd give me a smug look, turn her nose up at me (literally... I didn't even think people really did that) and get on the machine next to me to go at a running pace. I get it, she's plenty more fit than I currently am. I got so sick of the smug looks she would give me the whole time that now I just won't deal with it. If you are that insecure that you have to put other people down (whether you actually say it or just think it) to reaffirm that you're so great, then you need to take a long look at yourself.

that was probably me once... gotta love the binging.... only thing is, i was worse, because i'd hide so nobody could see me binging on packet of chocolate biscuits and a tube of pringles.... i was a closet binger.... ooh yeah! at least she has the balls to do it out in public.

Relax. The word "diet" doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. I can be on a pizza, snickers, and coke diet and it's still called a diet. A diet is just whatever type of food a person eats, that's it. Heck I eat at least one unhealthy thing every day and I'm still doing fine. It's also harder for some people to just go home and eat a salad all the time so come down off your pedestal and give her a break.

There have been a few occasions where I have come from swimming and sit in the locker room and eat some chocolate trail mix or a candy bar. Why? Because I am Diabetic. Don't judge unless you know for sure someone's circumstances. You could end up looking like an *kitten*.

I think that eating three snickers-- whether you are dieting or not, is indicative of an eating "problem".

I will easily scarf down 2-3 warm glazed Krispy Kreme donuts.

Just 2-3 lol....God help me if I had to refuse 10

definitely. Thats a pretty major binge. 3 snickers and a coke is gonna be over 1000 cals, and id say eating that much in one sitting thats not even a meal, is probably getting on for binge eating disorder territory. As I said earlier, If it was just someone eating that much, i wouldnt care a jot - none of my business, but if someone was just whinging to me about their weight, or talking to me about being on a diet and then proceeding to wolf down nearly a whole days worth of calories in one go, then id certainly raise an eyebrow.

at the end of the day though its a stranger, and i wouldnt give it too much thought. Its her funeral, not mine.

Lol lube that's why she had a good workout so she could eat all three on them. She need a fix!
