@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.

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.

People may look at other diaries; someone dragging them into a public conversation to slag off another person who said something they didn't like is another thing altogether. It was completely unnecessary. If you can't see that, then I suggest that's a personal issue within *yourself*. You've been passive aggressive and downright rude. You're coming off as an immature teenager just because some people disagreed with your rather narrow views of how you think people ought to manage their weight, which, incidentally, is none of your business. if you want to defend this person's weak attempt at public humiliation that's your lookout, but it's a pretty poor showing on your part.

QFT.

Oh, and in for the handbasket!!

I shall be bringing Jim Beam. I'll be needing a stiff one. I'll have the drink after.

Our train seems to be lacking in men.

In my experience (cough), it's usually pretty easy to pick them up on the way to where we're headed . . . if we need any.

BTW, planning to wear my moralistic muu-muu, topped with a sanctimonious shrug until we get to the warmer climes. I'll bring Ellison Brewery IPA ('cos delicious, and mug club discount - I am that reprobate ) and at least one vegetarian entree - probably filo cheese pie with fresh rosemary, for one.

I haven't posted in forums for ages, but this thread caught my eye. I eat cookies, cake, ice cream or potato chips daily. Not all of them every day. But at least one of them almost every day. I have maintained my weight loss for over a year. Because portion control is a thing.

To be blunt, I'd go nuts if all I ate was lean protein and green vegetables (and I don't even want to think about how much of them I'd have to consume to hit my calorie target!). I have higher cal days and lower cal days, and I log them all. Because, at the end of the day, all that matters are the averages. Bodies need fat, and if I want to have a lettuce-wrapped burger and yam fries for lunch, that's actually a pretty decent choice all things considered. If I want to have chocolate every day, that helps with the fat intake too (which is something I've always struggled with).

Why do I log if I'm not "dieting"? Because logging gives me awareness. It lets me know how many calories I can or can't afford on an evening snack. It lets me know if I have lots of calories to spend at dinner or if I should be a little more frugal. And because if I don't log, I'll probably experience portion creep and see my weight start to climb again. To prevent that, I log.

My personal balance trainer who likes to chill out in the most awkward positions and places so that I have to maneuver my way around him. He also doesn't judge my food choices, but can be very judgy of the food choices I make for him (why can't I have chocolate? *whine*)
