I like your definition! To me, cheating would be eating with no plan at all and no logging. I haven't done that in over 400 days and don't plan on doing it this weekend. I'm not saying I don't sometimes eat more than planned or sometimes just overeat because I want to, but I always log and have a plan.

My understanding is you haven't yet started c and you aren't debating between c and d. Mind is made up about d. You just feel bad that this is the 2nd time you are backing down from c's offer. The timing sucks but just be really thankful and polite when you turn them down again.

Just baked. Then I cut them up into small pieces to surround my protein. Sort of like a salad.

Exactly how you explained it here. When b let you go you reached out to both c and d, not knowing if or who would offer you the job, and now d has offered you a job you cannot refuse. Just know that c may not consider you in the future because that's just how some companies roll, but all you can do is be polite and upfront.

All I want is for my jeans to fit the same whether I'm standing or sitting.

It depends. If you're saying it's the end of the day and you have no calories left but you're hungry, then you have to decide if you're really physically hungry or just thinking about food. The latter requires distraction. If it's hunger, eat something with protein and fiber and log it. Yes you will go a little over your…

I get a steak fajita without the tortillaS or condiments because I'd rather save some Calories for a beer or sangria with my meal and because it's not really my favorite food any way. But if you have a favorite, you could always eat half (like a meal that is about 1000-1600 calories could be split for sure) If it's a chain…

It looks like under recipe and food, you can search and save everything under the food section.

I use coconut Oil to remove my makeup. I would never eat it.

I think it does...?

You have to change your setting to maintain weight on mfp. 1200 is for weight loss. I think your English is great, by the way.

Great topic. No one ever said anything negative about my weight. But I remember seeing a really unflattering picture of myself and feeling embarrassed and that's when I really took control. Today I'm much closer to goal weight but never feel totally comfortable in my skin. It drives me to keep at it, and also to wear…

2 lbs a week may be too aggressive if you are 17 lbs from goal. Try 1 lb?

I want to eat all things all the time.

Are you walking 4 miles every day? That's a lot of activity and you may justifiably need a break. Or a shorter walk. I have my treadmill workouts scheduled for every Monday , Wednesday, Thursday , and once on the weekend. I usually plan on running the whole time but sometimes the energy just isn't there. On those days I…

Unfortunately you're probably right. I can completely change my behavior but I'll still FEEL the way I feel. The only time I skip lunch is if I had a breakfast so big it was like eating two meals. Never because I'm too busy or forget. How is that possible?!

I don't know why people are so hung up on what dinner is supposed to be. There are no rules. If you want to eat 200 calories and save more calories for wine, go for it. Some days I eat a really big lunch and then eat a very tiny dinner. Other days I eat a larger breakfast. It varies. The only issue I Might have, as someone…

Calorie doesn't work, so let me sell you some other method to measure your portions....which is pretty much the same thing.

Great points. I would love to be like some of my friends who swear they get so busy they forget to eat (but then enjoy it when the time is right)

I try to incorporate leftovers so we don't waste food. But if for whatever reason we don't eat it, I have no problem throwing it out. How is extra food in your stomach better than food in the trash? Eating more that you want or need IS wasting food.

.[/quote] I don't remember I made any negative remarks to anyone, like you do here with me, but that's fine. If anything, positive people will find that I were trying to convey a can-do attitude, have-it-all through some self discipline and willpower. I myself would never settle for the rigid counting, watching, avoiding…

I consider drinking coffee high on the Adulting To Do List.

The feel fuller faster/less food is what someone else mentioned. I (the OP) was wondering if the actual organ shrinks :)

If you are walking outside, you can use a free app like mapmyrun or mapmywalk which will record the distance in miles and therefore your speed (speed is simply how much distance you cover in that hour you walked). So if the app says you covered 3 miles in an hour, you then go to mfp and select walk at 3 miles per hour for…

My stomach won't quit!! My face and arms look smaller compared to pictures.

I don't want to be stuck with only 1200 calories so I exercise every day to earn more food!! It's also just become A habit at this point.

I'm taking things personally? I'm confused. It appeared you were telling me, personally, what I should do and think. You keep bagering here. That's not productive. If you think I should simply stop caring so much about the calories and let loose, that's not productive because as I've explained im stuck in maintence mode…

I appreciate and am intrigued by all the responses. When I asked about mourning what I mostly meant is the final step of grief which is acceptance. I still haven't accepted that I can't overeat every day. Sure, I can fit in treats and some times overeat. But I can't go all out crazy (I could easily eat 1000 calories over…

I am so sorry for your loss.
