@paperpudding i guess i touched on a sensitive subject.

Looking at your diary your a prime example of why i said what i said, your eating more snacks then your breakfast an your dinner combined.

You almost ate as much for your biggest meal as compared to your junk food.

I'm not a fan of creeping diaries. It's none of my business. And it's none of yours. Public slagging of people's diaries is exactly why this thread was started, so I guess it seems we've come full circle.

At least we know who's wearing the superior slacks.

I can only imagine what they must think of my lunch

I had McDonalds today. First time in 4 weeks, and it fit my calories for the day. Although I'm going to have to eat a steak for supper to make up for the protein. I'm not sure how I'll suffer through that. :laugh:

If you stay within your calories but drink/snack them away instead of eating meals is it dieting?

In short? Yes.

So long as I'm within my calories, honestly I'll let myself eat whatever the heck I want. I'll still be losing weight. Plus, the second you start looking at it as a "diet" rather than a lifestyle change, that's the moment most people fail - they lose the weight, they stop "dieting", and then they put it all back on because "Woohoo! My food isn't restricted any more!"

I'd much rather log that I ate McDonalds and chocolate cake and that was all and stayed within my calories than eating a spoonful of yoghurt over a celery stick with a teaspoon of honey just because some diet told me to. It's much more realistic, and easier to maintain in the long run.

Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of their food shaming futon.

People look at other diaries and make judgments all the time on here. Just because it's not what you want to hear or don't like it doesn't automatically mean she's coming from a mean place doesn't seem like that at all. If you take offence to it or feel some kind of way, that's a personal issue within yourself.

They do? All the time, huh? If that were true, I doubt this thread would have gone past 2 or 3 pages.

Sorry, but if I invite someone into my house and ask them if they have any tips on how to improve my decor, there is a huge difference between that... and someone who drops in unannounced and starts critiquing it unbidden. (Or even someone I invited in who then starts looking at my furniture and making comments like, "Was this damaged out on the shop floor?" or "I guess you must've gotten that wallpaper on clearance or you'd never have picked that pattern.")

In the first case, I'm inviting critique. And if I really wanted them to say, "No, no. You've got it perfect already. Don't change a thing," and instead they point out a few areas for improvement, then that's on me and I've no reason to take offense unless they're going out of their way to be cruel. But cases 2 or 3? If I didn't ask your opinion, and you start judging my choices, I have every right to call you out and likely never invite you back.

The only diaries I have ever looked at are the ones where people ask for help because they aren't losing weight and the only thing I am looking for is inaccurate logging.


ETA I also look when someone claims they never eat processed food and acts all holier than thou. BTW most of the time these diaries are filled with processed food.

If it's not too late to reserve a seat in the handbasket, I make some mean fried chicken and latkes. Or, I've got two and a half bottles of got and some olives. I could also bring grapefruit juice if martinis aren't your style.

And if all that weren't enough, I'll also bring the Hoover that will automatically clean up the food for us.

Please do not give the Hoover chocolate, grapes, or garlic though.

Love the Hoover!

Mine sits on the edge of the kitchen just waiting for something to be dropped. If it's one of the above items, it's an interesting little dance to put a foot over it first.
