Going out to eat and trying to find something that is "safe" to eat but also satisfying.8

That is something we can agree on!4 -
There was a comment in another thread today where a woman found her friends were getting a bit snarky over her food habits while she was watching what she ate. One poster made good sense but in the midst of it said to find a way to work those meals with those friends into the overall scheme and that rubbed me the wrong way. The food I put into my mouth and body will be only and entirely governed by me. I can't stop thinking about how NOPE that is for me.8

Gluten-free bakeries catch me out every time! On the rare occasions I'm in the vicinity of one I'm absolutely fine with spending calories on something fresh and delicious. I hate it when I pick something that doesn't taste any better than something I can get packaged at Safeway. And no, there's no way I'm saving calories by just not eating more than a bite. Just no way.

Neutral panda just doesn't have the same ring to it.

This. It drives me nuts especially when the person responding obviously has a LOT more calories to work with (such as a tall overweight male in a physical job) than the original person. (Fitting ridiculously calorie dense food into the overall scheme gets a bit harder when you are a short healthy-weighted female in a desk job - even with lots of cardio..um no, maybe they don't want to eat 1000 net calories all the rest of the week so they can bank that many extra calories and/or eat nothing the rest of the day or 2).11 -

+1 Yeah, "just make room for it - eat a few less calories tomorrow and go for a walk" type advice makes me stabby.14 -
Especially as not every time you set foot in an eatery not your home there is cause for celebration or something. As a light, older female, my calorie overages have to be few and far between. I'd like to see my friends more often than that!10

This. It does help to stay on track when I remind myself of this. It seems almost nothing tastes as great as it smells (mostly talking fast food here). Either my memory of it is way overrated or the recipe has changed since the last time I ate it.3 -
No matter how many healthy choices I make, I will never live without the constant desire for the taste of a cheeseburger. There is nothing on this earth like them.13

I was at a fancy coffee/cafe/bakery place and among the other goodies, they had Nutella donuts. They looked like some sort of cinnamon cake donut with some Nutella spread on top. I got it, took a bite and found the donut was dry, crumbly, not sweet at all, and even a bit salty! I think it was almond flour. What a waste of calories! even though I didn't finish it.7 -
This is the thread I didn't know I needed.
1. (This goes for more of the healthy eating rather than limiting calories) I hate that, if I take a break from healthy eating for more than a day, my face will break out like mad.
2. Im a consultant which also means I travel a lot. I hate that my team uses dinner as a time to talk about the project. I just want to buy something healthy at the supermarket and eat in my room without fearing being left out of important conversations.
3. I hate that my mom will tell me how certain things I'm eating is going to make me gain. I make room for those foods!
4. Like others have said, I hate how long meal prep takes.
5. I miss being care free. Sometimes I don't want to think about what I put in my mouth and let my body tell me when enough is enough like most normal people do.12 -
