I just read this review and may need to go to Walmart to buy Pop-Tarts. http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2017/01/18/review-exclusive-villains-edition-frosted-chocolate-sugar-cookie-printed-fun-pop-tarts/3

Today's intake was pretty much just me eating wings with curly fries and ranch. No regrets.

I'm part of the "eat what you want as long as you're within your calorie range" group. I put everything I eat down, even if it's something "Bad". I still lose weight. I enjoy eating, though so when I can eat way more, say broccoli, than that small 400 calorie piece of cake, it helps me make my mind up.3

This is 100% why you're on my friends list XD
I've just lost 40lbs thanks to eating less and moving more. I've eaten pizza, burgers, had waaaay too much booze and a whole lot of junk food... but if i tried to "eat clean" I would have given up by now. It's not realistic nor sustainable for me as I love my "Bad food" I've just learnt to eat it in moderation... unless it's a party which only happens once in a blue moon... in which case, I may go mental and have many cocktails ;D
I also have set my diary to private after 1 user was telling me off for having diet soda. I happen to prefer the taste of pepsi max over pepsi as i find they're waaay too sweet but apparently having diet soda stalls weight loss and can even promote "fat gain" XD Some people get very creative with their own beliefs. Still waiting for that weight to stall.6 -

I love this thread. I went to culinary school long enough to learn how to make all the candy and baked goods I could ever want. Now that I'm in IT and get to work from home, I know I can make just about anything and still get the day's assignments done. I'm slowly exercising more, and log everything. I figure if I'm not attempting to shame myself and hide reality, I'll be healthier than completely cutting off things I enjoy eating... Just don't ask about that one doughnut, eclair and pumpkin fudge night...

Today I had oatmeal (with sugar *gasp*), some green goodness juice, grilled chicken and quinoa, wheat crackers & colby, and a big ole heaping handful of dove chocolates
Hey... if it fits...

If they would gasp at that, my diary some days would make them cry.4 -
A lot of what I eat would probably be accepted by the clean and healthy crew, but i just murdered a pastrami sandwich and a package of......OREOS!.
That's right. Best cookie ever invented. And I'm gonna do it again.
Come at me
Never..... Levain bakery cookies are the best cookie ever invented.

Ha, that's nothing-I had Taco Bell AND 5 Guys yesterday, plus a donut Pretty sure it didn't fit in my calories either and I don't even care lol. We were out all day furniture shopping and I'm sure I burned a few calories with all the walking we did though lol. 2 -
I am in for whiskey and wine!, Drinkers add me!4

I cant live without crisps (chips for the USA) and sometimes I eat 3 bags, and I put brown sugar on my porridge, and I bite cheese off the main chunk when things get tough - ahhh, feel much better now!!!
this thread was genius!1 -

My husband and I holidayed in NYC a couple of years ago and stayed about 2 minutes walk from the Harlem bakery.... We shared 4 cookies a day for the last 3 days of our stay... And took 2 days worth to our next stop... They were that good.3 -

My sis lives about 20 minutes (I think) away. My wife and I might have to pay a visit. We're both really really weak when it comes to fresh baked chocolate chip cookies2 -

Hey 100%? That's all I have going for me? LOL. Also, I have read something like that about diet soda....It was more like there are studies that imply the fake sugar and stuff is a bit harder to break down than regular sugar or something like that. Even if it were true, it wouldn't be significant and from how you stated that I doubt the person was just trying to provide helpful information. People can be so critical and a lot of time it isn't even their business or problem.2 -

I was nervous about having my diary open to friends at the start, but no one has ever commented negatively on anything I eat. I'm confident enough now that if someone tried to tell me I was eating "the wrong things", I'd happily tell them it was none of their business!

I had someone on a diet program who eats 800 calories talk down to me about eating 1200 calories or less (1200 as my goal) while eating lean cuisine and salads....so its ok to undereat as long as its got more protein? I don't think that's true. lol.. Anyway I ironically am trying diet food programs anyway but I am doing it in order to eat more often on less calories because I find I am always hungry on some days and just want to eat every couple hrs.0 -

At first, I told a few close friends that I was doing MFP and that I had budgeted for certain treats once a week. (Mostly because when I was doing WW some years back and had lost a significant amount of weight, there was ALWAYS some busybody who would come up to me in a restaurant or ice cream parlor with an "Have I just caught you CHEATING???" And I am really not that assertive IRL. Definitely not the kind who can respond with something along the lines 'How is that your business?' And during the initial few weeks of the MFP, I didn't fully trust CICO , so I was adopting a 'Let's see if I can REALLY eat what I want, so long as it's within my calories' and didn't want to feel myself automatically slip onto the defensive if anyone questioned what was on my plate.) Now, I don't bother mentioning it anymore. I've lost more than 10% of my starting weight and I feel comfortable enough now that I think I can just smile and reply, "A treat is not a cheat," and leave it at that.4 -
Ah! Love this thread!
I had a day this past week where it consisted of everything chocolate, because womenhood. Stayed within calorie range and was satisfied.
P.S. Fiber One Brownie Bars are heaven sent

Nice terminology! I found that I don't like to use "cheating" or "cheat day" (or meal), it implies you're doing something to be ashamed of rather than enjoying a treat that you've consciously decided you want to eat. (I don't use "diet" for the same reason - this isn't something I'm going to be doing just until I lose weight and then going back to "eating normally". If I went back to eating how I used to, I'd be welcoming back all those extra pounds!)
Very few people in my real life know that I'm working on losing weight, and I'm happy with that! I've been unemployed for some time, and when I finally find a new job my colleagues will never have known me as the fat girl who couldn't say no to an extra cookie or three, or the one who would eat All The Chocolate just because. I won't have to answer questions about the way I eat now because it'll be the way I've always eaten!
A few weeks ago I was helping out someone with a bit of organising, and she kept trying to offer me food... I had my pre-logged food with me and didn't really want what she was offering anyway, but she was persistent! Eventually, after several polite refusals, I told her thanks but I had my calorie-counted snacks and lunch and would be satisfied with that. She gave me what seemed to be a rather smug smile and said, "People who count calories never lose weight." Well, how could I let that go?! So I said it was working for me and I'd lost (at that time) close to 40lbs. Her jaw nearly dropped and she shut up... a short while later she came back and asked me how I'd done it, so I pointed her at MFP.

Pizza and a hot fudge sundae tonight during the football game.
so. so. good....and within my calories too. 5 -
I'm on the "I eat everything if it's within my calories" plan. There have seriously been days when all I have had to eat was like 16 oatmeal raisin cookies. No regrets.
I have cookies and brownies and cake and candy almost every single day. Pizza like once a week. Burgers, fries, chicken nuggets. I don't even care.
I've lost nearly 80 lbs so I feel okay about it. 5 -
Ink me in, honey. I had cookies this weekend. *patting my boodah belly*3

I think about what I eat Sunday evening through Friday lunch... the weekends are MINE! I still don't go overboard, but I totally understand what you're saying. Need to connect with people like you!2

Breakfast was oatmeal.......with nutella.
Lunch will be cheese (glorious full fat sharp cheddar) and crackers with pepperoni.
Dinner is going to be homemade mashed potatoes with beef stew on top. Followed by a full size hershey bar with almonds.
It's a good day.6
