I used to buy those little gold foil boxes of Godiva chocolates, four in a box. I liked that the label read, "Serving size: 4 chocolates. Servings per container: 1." Hurrah for being realistic.

I feel like I should get NSV credit for not buying a mini Bakewell Tart at the farmers market today (under the evil influence of this thread and the fact that I've never had one).
But I bought a black bean pasty and some brie layered with apricot preserves and almonds instead, kinda negating the V, I guess.8 -
This entire thread is hysterical.8

Sugar + fat + flour = high calories
When I first started keeping track of calories I was stunned by the calories in certain items. Now you know, and can behave accordingly the next time.

I just have to say, not everyone has a "loving, wonderful" mother. Some are really dysfunctional and not that loving/wonderful. We don't know the OP's mother, so I think for people to say "oh be nice to her, I miss my mom, would give anything to have her back, etc, etc, maybe OP's mother isn't a fantastic mother. Maybe she is, but we don't know their relationship.13

Hmmm..... “my stupid mom brought me a cake from Whole Foods” does that sound like an ongoing dysfunctional relationship with a parent that OP is struggling with, or did it sound like an immature irrational post from someone who probably needs to be reminded about manners and respect on a regular basis?28 -
No, to me if she is saying that, I think there may be a history of frustration with her mother's behavior. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm just seeing it through my filter - I have a very dysfunctional mother that says and does a lot of hurtful things to me and my sisters. She is not our friend, she doesn't want to be our friend, she is controlling and demanding. I have a wheat allergy and she constantly disregards it. She can't or doesn't want to understand that it makes me really sick if I eat something with wheat in it. She takes it personally and is really passive aggressive if I tell her I can't eat something. That's just the tip of the iceberg with her. Not everyone has a great mother.22

I'm just curious - does it change anyone's perception of the situation if I point out the OP is a guy?1

It's a bad look any time a presumed adult comes off sounding like a petulant teenager, regardless of gender.

Only if you think the mom is one of those that over-indulges male children causing them to turn into disrespectful children.
ETA: I knew a guy that I could not stand to be at his house because he treated his mother like a doormat. She treated him like a royal prince and acted more like his servant than his mother.7 -
Is it just me or have the boards have really slowed sown since the last time I had a membership? The same threads over and over. Of course it doesn't help that I'm bumping this to the top again.TavistockToad wrote: »

Not at all. The descriptive word for the individual can still start with a b, just different following letters.1 -

My boys are 14 and 17. They'd be shown the error of their ways VERY quickly if they called me stupid or said other that 'thank you' for a gesture of (assumed) kindness. I was going to say immaturity is at play here but really can't based on that.
Lots of assumptions being made, though. I've learned to never take a functional relationship for granted.11 -

How in the world is this small a** cake 4000 calories!!??! It wasnt even dense!! It was one of those airy cakes. How!?!?!?
you saw the cake and didn't think to check out the box to verify the 400 cals for a whole cake far too good to be true statement before you hoovered it up....?
riiiiiight.
There was no box.. she just said it was from whole foods
so, question to all the american pals - is wholefoods known as a low calorie health shop...?? cos all i saw in the dessert section on that website was calorie after yummy calorie of fatness....?
not really understanding how anyone can actually legit think a whole cake covered in frosting is only 400 cals?
Definitely not. Their bakery section is a delicious delicious place with lots of fat and carbs.
Yes - the pictures above make me want to visit. Haven't been to a Whole Foods in years. But just to be fair you can buy fruit/vegetables/other foods with lower caloric density - just at very high prices.
Assuming you're not buying "fancy" produce, you can actually get some really good deals there.
Whole Foods has done a lot with their prices in the past 1-2 years, especially now that they're owned by Amazon.
Yup. For basic organic produce and grass-fed meats, they are *far* cheaper than my local chains.
Ya, and their meat is better quality and taste than comparably raised meat at my local chains. Many of the 365 brand items have good prices as well.
Plus now I can order from Whole Foods from Amazon Prime and not need to take the time driving and shopping.1 -

When I was a kid, my mom wanted me to be a member of "The Clean Plate Club" and talked about "starving children in Africa", and in later years had the "Eat Right for your [Blood] Type" book - while I love her dearly, I don't take weight loss advice from her 9 -
Has the OP even responded to all this?0
