in Health and Weight Loss
I have a very big appetite, and just love to eat.
I kept this idea to myself, until now.
I am surprised that I dont weigh more frankly!
I am in full swing with MFP and diet + working out + water, but does anyone else feel like this..
I'm not talking junk food, I mean a very high quality type of food. Great breads, cheese,wines, coffee,nothing crazy.. and I miss the idea of endulging..because I know I will fall off the wagon
I love food :smile:

    Oh and one of my friends was all "Why do you celebrate Thanksgiving?" and I'm all "Cause FOOD is my LIFE!!"

    Just workout a ton, and then you can still eat a lot.

    I too love to eat. Don't tell yourself that you can't indulge! You set yourself up for failure. Allow yourself spontaneous indulgences because this has to become a lifestyle. I'm personally not interested in any lifestyle that doesn't include something like a Sonic burger every now and then! If you were to see my diary, I think you'd be amused at it. I love to eat, and I EAT!!

    I'm learning to be picky about what I'm eating. If I'm going to use up my calorie allowance it had better be worth it. I've actually planned endulgences. At least once a week I go and get myself a great chocolate bar (sugar is my thing). Not what's on sale the really nice stuff. It keeps me from being tempted by average junk food because I know I get the good stuff.

    I love food. Have since I was a little girl. I stopped ordering kids meals when I was 5. I have always had a hearty appetite and loved a huge variety of foods. Never been picky. One of my favorite things is when I wake up the next day and I log onto MFP and see ALL of my calories are remaining.

    Totally! It is just easier to say no to chocolate or cookies as just having a little is just too hard :ohwell:

    I love good food too and it is helping me STAY on my weight loss journey. Instead of denying the fact that I love good food, I have made it a part of my program. I set a weight loss goal for myself every week. If I make that goal, I treat myself to a meal at the world's best French Bakery/Bistro. I usually only eat one meal that day and sometimes even then I go over my calories for the day. But because I know that if I cheat during the week and fail to make my goal I will not get my scrumptious Saturday reward, I tend not to cheat. So far so good.

    Oh yes.

    I have gotten quite selective about what I do with my calories for the day. If it doesn't taste good, I'm not gonna eat it!

    Totally with you.

    I miss real food. I hate eating healthy stuff. It's been 10 months so I don't know if I will ever get over it. I'm resolved to a life of pining for the good stuff. Being thin/fit is more important to me. But, yeah, it sucks.

    Oh my gosh, I LOVE to eat. At times I tried telling myself that it was all senseless emotional eating.. but I adore sweets [ESPECIALLY gummy bears] and Chinese food. It's hard not eating them every single day, but I think that as long as you set some little mini-goals along the way, you can indulge and get that same feeling of satisfaction.

    i always feel bad when people say they miss real food.... i love food myself thats why i follow the IIFYM (if it fits your macros) style of dieting.. i used it to get ready for my BB competition and it is absolutely amazing... I have such a wide variety in my diet that meets my macronutrient needs as well as my micronutrients... people fail to realize eating "clean" often will void their diets of micronutrients,
    i weigh/measure everything so i know the macros im getting with each meal, no matter if it comes from chicken,chocolate, pizza or icecream :) long as i hit my macro goals im happy.

    Personally I have found that I can EAT and lose weight so does it really make sense not to eat correctly (Of course treats in moderation and occasionally ) than to starve your self and struggle to get the weight off.
    Yes yes yes I do love food. It is one of my greatest pleasure in life :bigsmile:
