I had to change what I eat. Certain things just stoke my hunger while other things satiate it. Carbs are big one. Bread, cake, cookies etc.. I have much less ravenous hunger when I keep these to a minimum, if I am having a particularly rough time I eliminate them entirely.

100% this. This describes me so well!

Enjoying a holiday and daily life type of eating are not the same thing really. Most people relax on special occasions and get back to their plan the next day or when the holiday is over.

Right here! I would rather have a lot of food than a little bit. If I have some teensy-weensy, tee-niney, pigmy sized pea shaped piece of something magically delicious I will not be satisfied. I save the junk for when I REALLY want it. I may blow my calories that day but man is it ever worth it when I do! Some people…

I have read the whole thread. I am aware of the contents. She is looking for exercises that she can do with out irritating her plantar fasciitis. I offered my suggestion and so did some other people, In spite of being discouraged from exercise I hope the OP finds some type of exercise that works and helps her feel good.

Some people WANT to and are looking for ways that they can manage it because of physical conditions. Which is what the OP wants. People are always so fast to shoot down people who are looking for exercise advice with, "You only need a deficit to lose weight!" That is not helping a person who wants exercise advice. That's…

Some people need exercise to help create that deficit. With out exercise I am stuck eating a measly 1,200 calories a day and then the loss is still slow. Exercise helps create a better deficit while also increasing calorie allowance.

Bicycling if you're into that sort of thing.

There may only be one bite indeed if I unhinge my jaw as usual.

When you post in the forums you run the risk of getting responses unfortunately. Perhaps you could look at the left overs as a disgusting thing to eat. Maybe that will help you.

You're welcome! I hope it comes in handy!

Pretty nasty on the friend's part. This crabs in a bucket mentality is likely the case. I'm sorry you have had that kind of hostility directed at you.

That was for "mskimee".

These are measurements for volume. 1 cup is 8 oz 3/4 cup is 6 oz 1/2 cup is 4 oz 1/3 cup is 2 1/3 oz 1/4 cup is 2 oz Then you get into Tablespoons and teaspoons which are 1 oz and less. Some people like to use measuring cups and some like to weigh. I prefer to use a food scale and weigh out everything in grams. I only use…

It's just as easy to post here asking for that very advice as it is to post asking about fat burners. We are here to help! And I do hope the comments here help sway the original poster's mind in the right direction.

Avoiding micro portions is what prevents a lot of binging and falling off the wagon. That tiny portion always leads me to pigging out.

I am a huge fan of vinaigrettes.

Some may "work" temporarily. BUT...... 1)Once you stop taking them and go back to your old ways you will be back to where you started. So it's either keep taking them long term (which I wouldn't, see #2) OR go searching for some other easy way. 2) Many of these types of things carry serious health risks, death included as…

^^^^ Speaking of that, I hate it when someone is sitting in their car using what ever new technology it is that allows me to hear the entire conversation as if it were blasting from a loud speaker.

Nope. They said, "There is no such thing as your other half."

You mean from the same people who make posting photos in our news feed rocket science, and the same folks who won't put an edit feature on our news feeds so we can edit comments and status updates? The same people who will not allow the ability post a caption with photos in our profile photo album? The same who won't allow…

Did you deactivate or permanently delete?

I hate when people say, "make it fit". Yeah, because the two bites that "fit" are going to totally be satisfying aren't they? Sometimes you either have to just bite the bullet and ruin your whole day and pick up again the next day, or just don't make the absurdly high calorie recipes they post here. When it comes to some…

Yes. There is. At least that's the way it should be. When that other person makes you feel complete and without them you feel a hole in your life, that is your other half. This does not mean you live "for" that other person. It means they are an essential part of your life much like the air you breathe. You can argue that…

That's is MFP's way of keeping us in line. When I need to lace a comment with profanity I avoid the *kitten* filter and use my own replacements.For example, " What the *rainbow* is going on around here! These *unicorns* act like a bunch of *flowers* who need a foot in the *sunshine*!" Works for me!

That can be a challenge. Say you two are watching a movie and he is pigging out on all the things you are trying not to pig out on it can be exceedingly difficult NOT to pig out and just have some dinky little portion. Personally, when I know someone is trying to avoid temptation I have the consideration to avoid waving…

Yes indeed. I have seen a lot of places that don't have this info. available at all! I usually put in my two cents of customer feed back asking them to make it available. If enough people ask they will eventually cave and post it in some way.

Don't get me started! Those entries are crazy! They don't even put what the actual serving size is on the brocolli! I can only assume someone ordered 2-3 servings which had about a TBS of butter added to it. But we can never know because it isn't listed! When I went and did a search for that it did give me the option to…

And THIS is likely a reason for the very common "What am I doing WROOOONG!?" complaint. I honestly don't know where people get the info they enter sometimes. If I went by what I find in this data base who knows where I would be in my progress right now.

I assume they put something else in it or the MFP entry is dead wrong as usual. Perhaps contact the corporate office and ask for their nutritional info. Most places will provide this others will not. It's worth a try if you eat there regularly.
