I have one, no fitbot friends yet though. Add me!

It's a pretty true assumption. I'm working on better balance, bit it's slow progress. I did used to crash diet, practically starving 40 pounds off myself, and a tiny screw up was reason to give up entirely and binge eat for months until I gained it all back. I'm trying to learn slow, sustainable changes. I'm slowly getting…

That's not inclusive. That's not having respect for anyone with any disability. That's calling people out as different and covertly shaming us. We shouldn't have to qualify as "disabled" for our feelings to matter.

Furthermore, its demeaning and patronizing to deny a person respect and consideration because you *assume* they are no different from you, and making them tell the world "I have a disability" just so you'll consider their feelings, and then offering up your pity as if that's the same thing as empathy or respect for our…

My original point stands. It is indeed harder for some of us than others. It is indeed smug and condescending to demand official "special group" credentials, documentation that confirms a person suffers from a disability before you'll agree to simply be curteous or considerate enough to think first before shoving a donut…

Sabotage can be using any means, including psychological manipulation to thwart someone else's efforts.

You're completely wrong. You're saying it's no harder for a person with an eating disorder to eat healthy. That's the same as saying it's no harder for a depressed person to get out of bed in the morning, or it's no harder for a person with dyslexia to learn to read, or its no harder for a person with social anxiety…

What a horrible person!

Ha ha ha ha! "one cookie." if I eat one cookie I eat 20 cookies and pass out at my desk.

We used to do that, and it was much better! Not only was is less often, but I could know when to expect it instead of being ambushed! Now it's out of control. There's cake for every birthday and we have like 60 employees! Plus people randomly bring in bagels and donuts and bags of candy, not crappy candy, but chocolate and…

"just don't eat it" is not that simple for me. I have tremendous anxiety over it. I'm a major binge eater. It's an emotional/psychological problem for me. Yes it's my problem and not everyone else's, but I just wish more people would try to show some compassion or empathy.

I love people who say "it's not very good."

Oh that's a good idea. I found it from the suggestions here, but it's for waist and neck only. I tbink I'll put mine in notes too. :)

Thanks! Gonna go try it

LMAO "oil doesn't float." and I'm the one being ridiculed? Seriously, have you never actually seen oil and water together? :') obviously none of us know everything.

I never noticed the weight in parentheses because it never mattered to me.

Took me forever to figure out you have to click their name a second time!

Yes, thank you. That was the missing link that made it finally make sense; weighing to look up the precise caloric value, vs weight being equivalent to calories.

Adds welcome. Support is crucial. :)

Yeah, totally. I have ADD, so for me it's more boring details to keep track of versus actually having the time. Maybe if I was stuck being unable to manage my weight I'd try it, but I can manage my weight fine with ballparking my calories when I'm not compulsive/binge eating so I that's good enough for me.

Correction, I never *noticed* it was on the labels. I literally never noticed, or I completely disregarded, that the weight was listed in parentheses until it was pointed out in this thread. I'd be miserable having to measure my food so closely. I just round up with calories in and round down with calories burned.

I'm not sure why you still don't understand when I just explained that have never seen a food label that quantifies a serving size by weight. Personally I can't imagine being that meticulous about it, but now that it's been explained I understand why some people would do it, which is why I said "thank you" for explaining…

I'm not. I'm saying I was noticeably fatter and not gaining weight, clothesgot too tight... Elliptical, treadmills etc on high resistance can build muscle. If she's walking up hills she could be building muscle, especially if it's a 2 hour walk.

Yes actually weighing foid sounded ridiculous. I'm not familiar with labels that measure serving sizes by weight. I've never seen that. LOL. So thanks for helping it make sense. I've heard of people literally weighing everything they eat and weighing what comes out. Thank God that's not what's happening here.

I know when I was sick and stopped working out for three months i gained zero pounds in the first months but got noticeably fatter, and all l normally do is the elliptical. It is possible to build muscle doing "cardio" especially if you had very little muscle to begin with.

True about eating less calories than we expend, but weighing food doesn't give us any idea of its caloric content. Green beans weigh a lot more than whipped cream, but it's the whipped cream that's going to pack in mass calories. In fact, the fattiest foods are the lightest by weight. Oils (fat) float to the surface of…

An extremely important thing to remember is that muscle is very dense and weighs a lot more than fat. That means 5 pounds of muscle is a fraction of the size of 5 pounds of fat. 5 measly pounds of fat is literally bigger than a football. Fat is fluffy. You could be losing fat and gaining muscle and maintaining the same…

I hear ya! I had 1/4 of a bagel, 3 bites worth, and it was good, but when I had to log 3 bites as 75 calories I realized was not *that* good!

[/quote] Oh goodness, it's not those Terry's Chocolate Orange donuts, is it? :love: :open_mouth: [/quote] I never met a donut I didn't love :)

Germs don't phase me! LOL. I ran away from the break room with my good-girl oatmeal. I'm a 3 bagel 2 donut binge eater.The calorie budget definitely does help me though. Yesterday I had a rice dream ice cream bar for 220 calories and it was glorious.
