Stop saying great job when it's not!!!

Whats wrong with congratulating someone on killing a plate of nachos?


Maybe it was impressive.

this totally make me :laugh: ...

You guys are missing the point!! It's not about nachos!! I ate nachos a few days ago! JEEZ!! lol Eat cookies all damn day if you want!! All I'm saying is that it annoys me that other people will comment on it saying how great of a job the person is doing when they aren't! That's like if your kid didn't study for a test and failed and you said "WAY TO GO!!! It's an accomplishment that you even showed up for the test!!!"

Whats wrong with eating nachos, get off your high horse.

I hate all things delicious and awesome. DUH! Oh, and I'm evil and judgmental apparently!!

Not to mention a drama queen! And a terrible one at that!

What if I have an 800 calorie day and it's filled with food? hard boiled egg, nuts, salad, dinner, smoothie and rice crackers usually fill my diary. I'm often under calorie but constantly picking at my food. Never go hungry!

Shhhhhhhh....
Bring me nachos!

I agree.......I see most of the people who think this post is right are new to MFP. Give it a year or more...and see if you are still here. Often we tell the other person WTG for logging and trying yet another day. The longer you are here the harder it is. Its just encouragement ..which goes a lot further than judgement any day huh?!

Honestly- if I have the calories...I would eat 800 calories worth of nachos and it would still be a good day. I don't judge others on what they eat....and it doesn't bother me if they choose to eat junk. I guess I have been here on my own journey with wonderful supporters all along. Nachos, food binges, cake, chips and all- they still cheer me on! (though I don't always eat that stuff) I wouldn't waste getting mad over others diaries and if they choose to give out a WTG, or a good job on a diary post. Just my humble opinion. :flowerforyou:

You can still save the thread sweet child. One way to save the thread is basically post this.

AMEN!!! This is the only post in this thread i'm going to read. I don't care to hear all the whining i'm sure is in the rest. You hit the nail on the head and , KUDOS!!!

Wish I had had your foresight. This whole thin baffles me too. Even if someone had a dish of ice cream or whatever but the rest of their day was healthy whole foods I'll give them the good job. But I've seen diaries that were like- breakfast nutrigrain bar, lunch lean cuisine, snack banana, dinner lean cuisine. And they netted like 100 calories because of exercise. And people said Good Job and what not. Seriously?!?! Someone eats hardly anything and the only healthy thing they had was a banana and you're going to encourage that? I don't get it

I look at everyone on my feed's diary and i will comment if it warrant's so. I wont blindy say the wtg ... good job etc. to a "under calorie goal" feed if they don't deserve it. Also i wont say good job or w/e if they have more then 300 calories left either. Because that means they didnt feed thier body completely. Remember those that are trying to lose weight, already have their daily goal set at a deficit. So eating way less then that (in my opinion, not a good day) so i just don't comment.

You know what? I used to weigh 526 lbs, and obviously I did not get that way eating salads. Maybe you should spend less time dissecting your friends' diaries, and more time learning about what constitutes "good" as opposed to "bad", because those things are very subjective from person to person.

If your friends are eating cookies and crap all day, every day- sure. Don't comment. Don't enable. I support that. If you're close enough, maybe offer some support... and by that, I don't mean getting all Jillian Michaels on their azz and rubbing their face in it.

I love food. I always have, and I always will. Occasionally, I will dive face-first into a disgustingly gooey, horrifically calorie-laden plate of nachos without apology AND without shame. I let myself do that once in a while. The number on the scale is creeping downward every day. I deserve a treat once in a while. I'm not going to indulge myself like I used to, but I'm not going to deprive myself of the occasional treat.

Today, I consumed 942 calories, which is woefully inadequate as I weigh 365 lbs. I'm not feeling well, and it took everything I had to keep that down. Those are the things that a food diary won't tell you.

all i took from this was 800 calorie nachos and now want nachos.

Yeah how did this turn into nachos? Now I'm feeling a little paranoid as I made my version of nachos last night. lol (400 calorie, not 800)
Hey, everyday can't be a salad, now can it? :bigsmile:
