That even though I want to learn to eat in moderation whatever I want, i still think of different foods as either good or bad. I wish I could eat whatever I want when I want but doing that scares me because I tend to always go overboard!3

I am the same way. I have finally accepted the 99.9% of the time, I need to eat the "good" foods as I can't seem to use moderation.4 -
Well, this is a vent and a plus. I love and hate I have become a creature of habit. I like my life very structured. I used to be very free wheeling. Now, i have to plan most things. When something knocks me off my routine, I get frustrated. I guess I have become a kid again. I crave structure.5

I hate when I'm on my period and what my body wants is a rare steak & something decadently chocolate. What I had instead is steamed veggies & chicken breast and my third cup of tea. I'm also at work trying to ignore the lower back pain instead of curled up under a blanket with Netflix.
Stupid comfort food having calories. If you could see my lower lip, I have a serious pout.18 -
I miss freestyle cooking, not measuring and weighing every last thing before it goes into the pot or pan. I had friends over for Halloween and made a beef stew and I just cooked like I used to - not even calorific or unhealthy, just unmonitored. How many grams of onions is that? Who cares!15

I rejected a biscuit today. A biscuit specially brought in to be offered to me by a fellow not-by-choice gluten free person because we usually miss out on the birthday/promotion/marriage/engagement/new house/new baby office buns.
She brought me in part of her birthday cake last week and I took the cake because it was so kind of her but I can't eat biscuits 2-3 times a week. I don't want to eat the biscuits but it was thoughtful and now I feel bad, and I also feel stupid for feeling bad because I am allowed to say no to biscuits.
Also I am lying to myself here, I could definitely eat the biscuits I just don't want to have to rearrange my day, so now I'm just lazy and rude.14 -

Steak gets a bad rap. A lot of the cuts aren't actually that high in fat. Sirloin steak is usually pretty lean.5 -

What about "oh thanks I'll have that with my tea later" and then save it for another day. It's biscuit it'll keep. Just saying that because you feel bad. But I understand.
I hate how I have to strategically avoid my aunt's place (she's like an older sister so I go there a lot) because she'll always ask you taste something she's cooked or is cooking.
I hate that I've lost the spontaneity of "oh look tasty-baked-good; let me taste it".4 -

What makes it even worse is that I’m starting to feel apathetic about the whole thing. I wanted to be thin so bad and now I’m like why? I’ll still be miserable, but just smaller. I don’t care about clothes or finding a boyfriend. My sciatica has actually gotten worse from exercising. I pop naproxen like mints. THIS is what I spent the last 7 working so hard for? Severe leg pain, anemia, hormonal problems and worsening depression? Awesome.
I know the stress of caring for a parent, wish I had tips for you on how to handle the stress. It gave me depression as well, just remember you must take care of yourself first in order to care for someone else.5 -
I hate that as I get closer to my goal weight, I have to be more meticulous about my logging. Why can't I just scan a can of corn and select "whole container"? Why do I have to measure everything in grams? It's so tiring, but I know I have to. Also exercising. I've gotten away with just walking up until now. I've been stuck at the same 5lb range for 3 months. I always get stuck at this weight and usually give up because it's SO frustrating. But I guess I'll just tighten my logging and figure out some kind of exercise I don't hate.8

I love that my parents visited me today, but I hate that they didn't eat the whole cake they brought and now I have two slices of cake laying around. I really don't want to eat them. It's not worth the calories (and it has egg in it and I don't eat eggs so that's even worse). However, I HATE HATE HAAAATE wasting food. Now I'm sitting here looking at the cake and want to throw it away so badly but also don't want to throw it away because food waste. Ahhhhhhhhh.
Quite a luxury problem, but I kinda like that I don't even want to eat it. Before I wouldn't have hesitated one second before munching both slices.

Throw it away and pour dish soap on it! It isn't worth it.10 -

I would contend that eating food you don't really need to is also wasting it. So if you can't give it to someone else, might as well throw it away.

Yup mel. I agree. This is how I feel sometimes when I have to weigh every single ingredient!

What makes me mad/want to laugh at times are the magazines like Women's World or First that have the most outrageous get skinny headlines on their covers. Lose 14 pounds in two weeks by drinking some random crap, lose weight fast (but fails to mention that you'll gain it back just as quickly or gain even more), or melt belly fat by eating this food. It makes me mad that a lot of people will fall into the trap of believing that nonsense & either shell out money for expensive products or possibly hurt their bodies.9

Football Sunday’s with measured snacks instead of just eating all the things

Learn to throw away. Your scale will thank you for it.

I did throw it away. It was hard because it was perfectly fine food, but in the end I just didn't want to eat it. So it had to go.

Just take it to work and put it in the break room. That's what I do with all of my unwanted food.6 -
I love cooking and baking and never get to eat much of it. I've made 2 beautiful apple pies this Fall with apples I picked myself, and only had a tiny half slice of each. I'll cook beautiful recipes from my favorite cookbook and foist them others
