Eat what you want.

I've read all of these threads, and people need to relax. You've earned it. So many of you work hard, taking care of kids, going to a job that's demanding, dealing with people everyday who don't know how special you are. Well guess what, I think you are fantastic, gorgeous just the way you are. You don't want to go to the gym tonight, who cares! You can always go tomorrow, heck it's Friday, take the weekend off. And quit stressing out about your diet. You're only going to live once, enjoy it. What's in your fridge right now? Ice Cream? Cake? Pie? Do you have any potato chips? Have some, you completely deserve it. Some times you have to pamper yourselves because no one else will. And remember, I love you for you.

    Miscown3r would disagree with you.

    But what does he know, he has a body like this.

    your right you only live once but if you break down and start to eat whatever you want then you may not live as long enough to enjoy life. overweight and obesity tend to shorten your lifespan and health so i say eat what you want but keep an eye on those calories and a little exercise goes a long way. feeling good about your fitness and weight is reward enough and to see the weight fall away is a great natural high.
    but enough its an individual choice so you go right ahead and eat and be merry but dont push that on others.

    This is an interesting topic to me. A lot of us are overweight because we eat too much. We eat too much because we're addicted to food.

    Usually with addiction you just resolve to never partake in the practise ever again. You vow to never drink another drink or smoke another cigarette. When the demons start rationalising for you you always go back to the single, atomic, prime directive: DO NOT DO THAT, EVER!

    With food you can't do that. You can't just 'never eat' because you need to eat to live.

    So what you end up having to do is instead of treating all food as the same you have to compartmentalise food into separate categories. These foods I can eat and these foods I can't. These foods are my 'cigarettes' ... never to be eaten!

    It's hard, though, because it's easy for those 'bad' foods to creep back in because you're eating anyway. One cookie after dinner is ok ... then it's another cookie while watching TV then it's 3 cookies after dinner because it's within your calorie budget then it's the whole pack because hey, while I'm eating cookies I may as well ... one more isn't that bad.

    It's just a slippery slope that for some of us we really need to either avoid the cookie altogether or designate one time a week were we officially allow ourselves that ONE cookie.

    I'm just saying there is always tomorrow. Kick your feet up and relax, have some cheesecake, throw back a couple of brewskis!

    I completely agree. I get really tired of seeing posts about "what do I eat at this party/dinner out/celebration?" One meal won't hurt anything. One snack won't hurt. Give yourself a treat once in a while.

    This cracks me up. Is it sick of me that I actually find it motivational?

    Yeah look ultimately I agree. You have to forgive yourself; you can't change past. And yes it is ok to let it go some days so you can release that anxiety that comes with being good.

    I'm also saying that it's easy to become too lax with it. The balance is hard to strike and is rarely there for long.

    Do I smell sarcasm?


    But I agree somewhat...have a piece of pie every once in a while!...just don't have the whole pie. ;)

    I cant eat just one of anything that is bad for me! I must banish all bad foods or I will fail. Just as I did the other night when a friend brought a huge box of doughnuts over. Could I eat just 1???? Hell no!! Had about 4......She is not my friend anymore...haha

    So, have a few doughnuts! You have a 13 and a 9 year old. That has to be so stressful. I am sure you are not appreciated as much as you should be. Well you know what, I appreciate you. I think you deserve some doughnuts or what ever else you desire.
