Looking for friends who don't eat "clean" and healthy

I hate the term "clean" eating so much!
It's vague and just loaded with judgemental, disordered, and dare I say elitist/classist undertones. (Yeah, I'm going there today.) It could mean a bunch of different things to different people. If you mean whole foods, say whole foods. If you mean vegan, say vegan. Low carb, say low carb. As people in a modern, industrialized society, we have enough angst about food already, about what we should and shouldn't eat, whether we're "being good" by ordering a salad or "being naughty" by getting cheesecake, to start implying that certain people's diets are "dirty." We're going to spend so many years of our lives fretting about autolyzed yeast extract or whether carbs/eggs/sugar/saturated fats are okay today, that we'll miss out on licking the butter from life's steak plate, as a previous poster was able to do.
Rant over--I feel better now.

Lord it was good. Melt in your mouth good. All I had with it was some mushroom, snap peas and a Cab Merlot.3

Doesn't matter "what" you eat. Just count the calories and record them honestly and accurately.0 -

Careful. What you eat does matter for reasons other than weight loss (health, satiety etc.). Doesn't mean you can't have some enjoyable foods along the way and still lose weight.2 -

We talk a lot of trash here, but I'd venture to guess most of us eat a fairly balanced diet of foods that are overall nutritious and satisfying. It's fun to contemplate eating all my daily calories in cheesecake (and I could! It wouldn't even be difficult) but I don't actually do that.
I do, however, find ways to continue eating all the foods I love in moderate portions while still meeting my overall goals 2 -

Hello,
I don't have a strict diet.
I just eat whatever as long as I have the calorie budget for it. I love all sorts of food!!
I've lost 50 pounds before on a very strict diet but gained it all back because the diet was unreasonable. This time around I'm going to eat what ever I want but in moderation.
Add me if you like.3 -
My supermarket shopping trolley was a clean eaters nightmare yesterday...
-1 block of salted caramel pretzel kitkat*
-2 packets of Tim Tams - Turkish delight, and choc cherry coconut*
-2 packs of licorice allsort logs
-2 Moro bars
-Chocolate cereal
-"neopolitan" granola (with strawberry pieces and choc chips)
*new flavours we had to have!
... To be fair, we don't buy vegetables at the supermarket, and I'd already bought a trolley full of those earlier in the day 3 -

I have had two vanilla caramel cones (at 170 calories each) today. Of course, I also walked on snowy, messy streets for more than two hours (to buy a new medicine ball) and did my dumbbell workout for an hour and a half when I got back. Go on. Ask me if I regret anything.
...Cuz I don't!5
