Oh, I forgot to add milk. Add some fat free milk if it's too tight. It should be the consistency of melted chocolate. Sorry for all the posts. I'm still waking up...

I unfortunately do not have a picture because I ate it before I could take one... :lol:

Here's one for you: Chocolate: Melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder together. Cool down, add sweetener to taste. Eat as is or chill.

I need to try the phone distraction thing. I LOVE reading online forums or browsing Deviantart for drawing inspiration. They capture my attention. I usually take my friend with me too sometimes, but I'm quite generous and I always get an urge to spoil her when she's with me. So I still buy them. She's also the one I give…

I eat all the foods. I like fruit, but I don't eat it often surprisingly.

It depends. A lot of people only drink when they are thirsty. I usually drink water constantly. It helps out a little with my mindless munching. Makes me not do it so often.

I should start buying olives...

Yes - may the force be with me. LOL

I only allow myself one sweet a day. So at the moment I buy them, and then give them away. It's a solution, but kind of an expensive one. At least the people I give them to like me a lot now...

Simplicity itself... Now if only I can actually do it. But, try try again. Hopefully I'll get there one day..

Wouldn't that get me some strange looks... :tongue:

My neighbor lady loves potatoes as well. I know her diet. It's exactly the same each day. Breakfast is Polenta with sausage and tomato relish. Lunch is fries with ketchup. Dinner is a tomato and onion sandwhich. Every. Single. Day.

There are many topping variations for pizza and burgers. ;)

I've been eating lots of sweets since I was a little kid. My mom used to love it just as much when she was still alive, and she would buy a lot of it. I got it from her. It's extremely hard to break a habit that's so deeply ingrained in my life. I think I'd probably need a few years of sweets only before I would want to…

Yeah me too. Haha. I luuuvvv me some pizza.

Maybe I should try that! I would probably outgrow it, but after a week or two on normal food I would probably start craving it again hahaha

That's true...

Sometimes I like a diet soda. Most of the time I just drink carbonated water. I like the fizzyness. But I've haven't been a soda drinker since i changed my eating habits 3 years ago, it's not that much of a challenge for me.

Would you live on pizza and burgers alone??

I would eat them all day if I can. I do some days. (My "cheat" days, because I eat nothing but sweets on them, they happen once a month or so.) But most of the time I like to hit my protein goal. My calorie goal is so low already (1500), I doubt 6 protein bars will even come close to hitting my goal. Also, who would want…

Certainly would be getting a lot of fat and carbs. Which is funny, since those are the two I always have too little of haha. But protein takes priority over them.

I agree. OP I don't judge people by their choices in diet, it's your diet and you can do what you want. But make sure you can stick with it for good. It's the only way you can stop yoyo. But me myself? I also prefer counting calories. I enjoy routine, I eat the same things most days, but they are what I want to eat. I find…

A combination of both. Weights will help you preserve more muscle mass while you are losing. :)

As with any diet method, you need to make sure it's something you can stick to for the rest of your life, otherwise your success will be short lived. I've never tried this plan, but nobody can really tell you if you will be able to stick to it forever. Only you will know. :)

So eat some. Just make sure it fits your calories. I usually buy a single serve package of candy, that way I won't be able to go back for more once it's gone. I ain't driving all the way back to town for another one. ;)

Starvation mode doesn't exist. :) Some anorexics wouldn't look like skeletons if it did. If your body is severly underfed for a long time, it wouldn't hold on to fat, but it would certainly weaken. Bones and muscles will become weaker, your heart rate can become abnormal, hair would fall out, nails can break, organs will…

MFP's calorie goal already has a deficit worked into it. You can eat that number and lose weight while doing nothing. (If you have selected sedentary). Think of your body as a car. It burns fuel as it runs. You drive a longer road, you'll need more fuel. Same deal here. You burn those calories off extra, you need to…

Only you can know if you go in the right direction. You have to wait and see if it makes a difference and what difference. If you gain, reduce calories. Just log what you do in the exercise, pilates and yoga. But eat only half the calories burned back, just in case you burned less than estimated.

In cases like those, where I can see almost everything that's in the burger, I log everything I see in it seperately. So the bun, the butter, the patty ect. When I can't see what's in it, I usually take the second highest number.

Those are just estimates, they can be influenced by many factors. Weight loss is far from linear. Take them with a grain of salt. :)
