Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels???

Damn I have a jar of nutella in the cupboard that is calling out to me now :P I would rather be fit and still enjoy my treats.

Ohman 8| I have a treat cupboard full of chocolate that I avoid like the plague XD Nutella is my thing tho especially on pancakes ;_; I miss that!

I don't know what skinny feels like.

I also don't know what Nutella tastes like.

I FEEL SO LEFT OUT

Think of it this way..How many times have you ate that food you're dying to eat but is unhealthy? Like Nutella? Personally, I've eaten it way too many times and already know what it tastes like.
On the other hand, I've never been skinny. I've never felt how it feels to be skinny.
Wouldn't you want to try the new thing?

I tried to quote this, but something went wrong:

I grew up having to clean my plate, but it always contained reasonable, healthy portions, so I can't blame my mother. I was the one who got carried away with snacking, beginning in my late-40's. I've mended my ways!

That said, I've only been skinny once, and I wouldn't go back to that. For me, nothing tastes as good as fit and healthy.

Nothing is more gratifying than all the extra food I get to eat after a good workout, while still losing weight AND getting stronger.

Muscles are NOT ugly. They are a part of your body, and a really important part at that. You need your muscles to continue to function on a daily basis. Muscle training is especially important for women. As we age, our body naturally loses muscle mass. Without muscles, you are going to be a really weak 50-something that probably won't be able to do much. I don't want to be a bodybuilder or anything, but being toned is beautiful. When I see a strong woman with just a hint of muscle tone without flexing, I think it is so inspiring and its the epitome of beauty for me.

Also, starving yourself is depleting your body of nutrients. This means your skin and hair will look like crap. It means that all the weight you lose will be sagging off of you because there is no muscle underneath to make it look toned.

I suffered from anorexia/bulimia for 6 years. Its foolish. Its not worth it. Your eating disorder will tell you that bones are beautiful. It will tell you that you need to lose more weight when you already are underweight. It will rob you of a life and it will rob you of your happiness. When I was in my worst stages, I lost all of my friends. I was too concerned about eating and not eating and working out to have time for anything else. I was depressed, my hair was falling out, my teeth rotted, I was weak, I was always sick. Its NOT worth it. My heart goes out to you girls that think that extreme calorie deficits are needed to be beautiful. You need to realize that you are already beautiful, and you are worth so much more than you even know.

Nothing tastes as good as exercise calories.

I'd rather bust my *kitten* and be able to eat what I want. Including chocolate, pizza, bacon cheeseburgers, donuts.

There you go. This ^^^^^ is all that needs to be said on the subject!

She used to be a cocaine addict and probably never went to college. Who in their right mind would take nutritional advice from her? -__-

I won't go a day without exercising because I know I want those damn exercise calories. LOVE me some food

I really do love my food including all the "bad stuff" so exercise is the key to this weight loss for me :-D

LOL! I love that, I thought that for the longest! I need you as a friend, haha. I'd rather be skinny any day than have bulgy muscles.

Did you not read some of the posts above about not being offensive to certain body types?
