I'm going to be in NOLA for Mardi Gras as well and as I went to LSU I know the food is one of the best parts of the city. I'm planning on eating as close to maintenance as possible, like I did over Christmas. That way I won't be expecting to have seen the usual amount come off the scale when I get back! I also sit down and…

THIS. I definitely think a conversation could most likely be the answer. However, at the time I felt really defensive, and I must admit I have a bit of a short temper so didn't want to get into it then and there. I was also having trouble with how to approach this. I think you hit the nail on the head, I honestly think I'm…

@64crayons that I don't know. Which I feel like I should. I can say about other people they'd be supportive 100%. There are people who are more than supportive now, my dad for example has changed the way he eats when I'm able to see him so that we're able to share a meal together. I of course don't expect him to do that…

She weighs about 20 lbs more than I do (I'm currently at ~160) and an inch or two shorter than me. So no, she's not big. You bring up a very valid point though, she isn't a very healthy eater. She routinely has more than one doughnut a day, no judgement from me - even before working on my weight, I couldn't eat like that…

All good points! If we were celebrating something specific, like the other day, I would ABSOLUTELY let her choose and just plan ahead! But, I know myself. As much as I would love it if it wasn't this way, I just don't have the willpower to just have one brownie or cookie or whatever it may be. Especially if we're sitting…

Feel free to add me! I NEED the motivation! I'm 22 and want to start with getting rid of 30 lbs, but probably would like to ultimately shed 40/45/50 lbs total!!

Thanks for your advice! This sums up pretty much what I was thinking and plan to do. My BMI did go just over to the overweight range (I know, not the most accurate but kind of a wake up call to someone who's been planted firmly in the normal range her whole life) and she's unapologetic about her eating habits because to…

Thanks for everyone's replies! I honestly didn't see that maybe I am talking about it too much (I consciously tried not to bring it up, or randomly start talking about nutrition or food, rather just address it when it came up) but obviously, if I'm always just saying I'm not hungry, I shouldn't spend the money, etc. I'm…

That's a really good comparison! The way I've been viewing the situation is that I'm just cutting out the snacking we did while we were doing other things (watching t.v., doing homework, etc.) but it probably seems to her like I'm not rejecting the snacking, but her and spending time together. I guess I didn't realize how…

Haha, yes I did! There's honestly a chance I would have ordered it even if I wasn't doing the MFP thing! My sister's a vegetarian and I don't eat a lot of red meat to begin with so if restaurants have them on the menu, it's always tempting!

Sorry, yeah that wasn't exactly how I said it, more like my rationale for letting her know that I wouldn't have any. We're college students so instead of going to target, getting whatever may have been needed, making them and then leaving her with the left overs what I would have said would have been "Oh yeah I'll bake…
