Has it happened to you or anyone you know? You know it's not different from the concept of learning from one's mistakes. Learning history. If you can't feel or realize past mistake's impact, you'll repeat it.

Not answering for MotivatedMom, but I have philosophized and worked out a lot of kinks for myself from reading other people's issues, without necessarily having to experience them. :) I actually found that the human bodies are far more alike than different, but try to tell that to people here! I have also picked up new…

I'm just curious what exactly you ate that was that much calorie. You are like many who binge eat, you simply feel bad at the wrong time! Next time you should feel bad immediately when food is brought in front of you. :) That will make a difference. I don't binge, but my friends and I lately love to eat at Korean grill…

I always understand it as a process that burns, converts, etc. at different rates depending on one's levels of activities. Don't we speed up our muscles, heart, etc (eg in workout) requiring more fuel and faster mechanism, thus speed up this process?

Interesting. Would you consider yourself an outlier? This measurement gives you a better result than the BMI though. :)

I see. I'm fully aware that everyone is an individual. It's a given. That said, everyone deserves to see the full map even if she doesn't plan to (or can't) travel, so to speak. I was honestly amazed at the OPs claim that he could be precised within 100 Calories. Does that mean he knows exactly how much walking he does,…

There are many points in this last post of yours. Some of them seem loaded. I'm not entirely clear of your intention. Always hard through texts. Why do you care to get my acknowledgement? What's your point? Is it not better that you understand what works (possible) and what doesn't, reasonably? And see if you can get…

Ok if you were seriously asking me that question, then my answer is. I don't care about precision. If anything the nonprecision aspect reinforces my point. It's overkill. Your question is better directed at ndj1979, who brought up precision.

It's just a conversation between the OP and me, and the OP was the one initiating the point about precision. Read back.

So are you saying every food (meal) can be measured precisely and the everyday activity can be the same? To the precision of within 100? Don't use estimation or average, or the fact that you can maintain, lose or gain. I can maintain, lose or gain without knowing any caloric numbers of anything; and it doesn't answer my…

Maybe I sound combative but in actuality most of the time I look at things with interests and curiosity. No exception in this case. I suppose you handled/managed the weight issue much better than I did and those I know. I haven't met anyone who's not aware of their overweight status and harbor some worries about health.…

This is bizarre to me and I'm lost when people lost weight to get better blood work,health markers but at the same time implied that they didn't feel better. As if having healthier body, having better blood pressure, blood sugar mark feels the same as having them bad when they were obese. At the least they should be…

How do you know it's within 100?

Said by a skinny fashion model -- yeah reek of anorexic. Worried by obese people -- putting the cart way before the horse.

Hey lots of people don't care for snails, don't know them so they are elusive. HA.

I get weary of those who argue anything "in itself". That's arrogant debating. "In self", like "in theory", virtually never exists. No such thing as "skinny in itself". You're being skinny in the body and it affects the mind. Hence, the saying "a healthy mind in a healthy body". They tend to work as a system. Almost never…

This is it. The bolded part. So much it that methinks that if GaleHawkins had chosen a better word than "debunk", all of this so called debate would have been done away with. (But where'd the fun be? :)) CI and CO are such moving targets, maybe elusive that it can make Cico a non-consideration (my argument all along).…

If being skinny/fit doesn't make you feel much better than being obese, I fail to see the point of getting fit. That's just rhetorical. Being fit makes me feel less worried about health, get up much easier, less joint pain, on and on..a million times better than being overweight. It could not be more untrue about "feel the…

It can also work against people with certain mindset. When you have worked so hard and put judgment on whether to have something or not, especially on trivial stuff, lots of time it tends to veer into the direction that you rather not have it because it's not worth it. Same "problem" with money. The more and longer you…

Change your attitude toward food, even just for temporary. Convince yourself that food (for now) is only for nourishment. Eat and eat only healthful stuff when you need. Identify the moments that you eat for fun, out of habit, eg munching chips in TV time, must have that bowl of ice cream, and drop those moments.

I know it's extra calories. What I get at is the strategy to do with them. I would save them for a need that likely comes soon. It always does. Eating just because I want, have extra lying around, is a bad strategy.

No, I am just confused why you would keep dark chocolate around if you didn't like them?

There's still the obvious fact that they need to lose some weight, no? Eating per want and not need is usually what got people here in the first place.

But why would you keep such thing in the first place? Speaking of nuts, I only eat them to deal with hunger during my fast-like time. They are my diet food. That's my reason of keeping them around.

But you might need to up your discipline to fight trigger foods if you have a little of them everywhere though. Something gotta give. :) The OP is just inexperienced. After coming out of a fast or reintroducing a food that's not in the system for long, we should slowly ram up with some of our comfort foods first. My go-to…

Not so sure I agree with this with my experience. I'm hypersensitive and could feel immediate high, almost like caffeine for others, after consuming things like doughnuts, ice cream. When I really crave sweet, I instinctively go for chocolate, ice cream instead of natural fruits (apple, orange, banana, grape), which we…

@lynn, "nd if I had to eat "the same foods in a cycle," always dishing out the same 25% less than some amount I think I remember from years ago as what I used to eat, I wouldn't be able to fully enjoy it." If I understand it correctly, you don't eat the same foods in years? How many types of meats, fishes and vegetables do…

I think you are trying too hard to find flaws. :) Majority of people eat the same foods in a cycle (a week, 5 days, 10 days) You can focus on only calorie dense foods such as meat and pasta, and ignore boiled veggies, tsp of sauces here and there. You gotta be very food obsessed or very undisciplined to overshoot vegetable…

OP, it comes down to which one fits your personality and body better: many small meals or fewer bigger meals. The latter works very well for me since 1. I'm less constantly preoccupied with foods, less times being stimulated, tempted by foods. 2 I have more time for other things. 3 big meals are more satisfying. 4. body…

And I think you are rude to think so negatively about people you don't know.
