I'm in GA. Lived in SC till 7 years ago. :( sorry about that.

Your mom is hateful. I bet she's overweight, too. Just find out how many calories you need to eat to maintain your weight based on your age, gender, weight, height and how active you are, then eat less than that. Measure the calories in solid foods by weighing them if you can, and checking the calories for them on…

Excuse me? Did I say we all DO eat as an emotional crutch? If it doesnt apply to you, dont respond. I think you felt the need to respond so nastily because of some insecurities you feel within yourself.

I don't consider it trolling, just curiosity about what others think.

Thanks for all the responses, everybody. At the people who wondered if I was trying to feed my soul or indulge because of an MFP friend, don't worry, I'm not trying to do those things. LOL :) I eat junk within my calories when I can get access to it. But these threads are fun and interesting.

If you had the chance to change your fate, wouldja?

We all have gaped at some Adonis, but then we crave a meal more nourishing to chew. Since you're shaped like a croissant is, no question of, she's gotta love a guy like you. Call me a hopeless romantic.

MFP is great, but needs more emoticons.

BELLS OF NOTRE . . . DAAAAAAAAME! (sorry, just had to throw that in. Ducking out of thread now.)

Ugh I think my emoticons aren't showing up.

Oh, well. Might as well join you

Lol @every1s answers.

I would drink a diet soda if it was good (haven't really had any). I once found a soda that wasn't labeled diet or anything and tasted good, but was only 15 cal a cup. But I'd be too embarrassed to do it if someone could see.

I think we do. I eat food for enjoyment, within my calories of course, as well as for fuel. I think I'd do well to learn to eat for fuel more often. But using ot as an emotional crutch really messes us up.

I know the feeling. Don't do it. Think of the goals you have. Or at least if you do, don't feel guilty.

I am an overweight black woman.

I dont know how to reward myself. I've tried to think of ways to. There are things I like to do, but I dont consider them rewards. Watching Disney clips and Disney movie reviews, reading articles online, writing stories, hanging out with my family, and, of course, sweets.

I have a weekly cheat day where I aim to eat at maintenance.

People say many discouraging things when you try to do better :/ I'm learning.

Lol, I have, too!

Thanks for sharing your stories, everyone. :)

I haven't replied to every post, but am reading every one and taking the advice into consideration as much as I can. I appre ciate everyone who replied.

Thanks for sticking up for me. I'm mostly over the panic now and will try to keep a level head next time. I don't know the caks in that rice, but if I thought it would mess my progress up when I first got it I wouldn't have eaten it. I am doing my best and didn't think three servings of rice with an orange and a sandwich…

I'm not sure.
