whatwentwrong

i don't think i have any D: btw i don't think i could ever be persuaded to try balut, but i distinctly remember researching recipes for dinuguan, and i can't remember why! *sticks to the polvoron side of filipino cuisine* :P

it's so hard for me to imagine how people can do this. like, I see 3 scenarios: 1. the person also brought a chicken wrap to lunch, and accidentally ate yours 2. someone brought lunch, picked up yours by mistake, took a bite, realized they were wrong- to which the appropriate action would be to find out whose it was and…

egg salad :D 3 hardboiled egg whites: 51 cal 1 hardboiled egg: 70 cals 1 tbsp light mayo w/ olive oil: 45 cal salt/pepper to taste spread on 6 crisp n light 7 grain wasa crackers: 120 cal 6 big crackers with delicious egg salad for under 300 cals ^_^

hmm, that's really interesting! both good diet and exercise are supposed to relieve your depression, and they've been working for me really well. i've never heard of it working the other way around :/

I just watched 6 (pirated) eps of Veronica mars while eating cheesepuffs. it's such a high school drama show I'm so embarrassed ;_;

i have heard of an entirety of one of those bands, but i can link you some stuff that i like :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wVICxlBY8o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=028KfrPNpPs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4KFKulfDVs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEuWybal_kM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DEivfKmMr8…

i cut out soft drinks really gradually- i stopped drinking caffeine in 2007, then i stopped drinking carbonated drinks in about 2009, and finally i stopped drinking any kind of sugary drink recently. (except mello yello, but i hadn't seen it since i was 14 I HAD TO BUY IT and i've only had 1 cup so far :P) obviously that's…

i'd probly just estimate everything and go for a small portion, and if i go over on something, then oh well :/ it sounds like you were eating at buffet-style or something, but if i served someone a sit-down dinner and they immediately got their cellphone out, they'd get a really weird look from me :P

maybe they mean all the "oh my god my life was so horrible when i was heavier even tho i was on american idol and in dreamgirls and won a goddamned oscar, now that i lost the weight my life can finally begin! even tho i've done more while overweight than any of you ever could in 5 lifetimes!" i think that makes her kind of…

love wilfred as well :P out of shows that are still airing? 30 rock, parks and rec, venture bros, futurama. i'm also really into procedurals and usa shows :D

cold weather, darkness, and rain:D one of my favorite things ever is curling up inside and watching it rain against a dark grey sky at like 4 pm, absolutely beautiful.

ugh, i used to spend so much too- bingeing on fast food and pastries adds up quick :/ since i started eating well, i'll spend a little over 100 every time i get groceries, and they last for 2 weeks :D totally worth it financially regardless of the weight loss!

i'm sure you'll do great! it takes a lot of work to be ready to lose weight, and your past attempts shouldn't sour this one <3 (btw, do you know who drew your display pic? it's gorgeous :D)

we're getting a chick-fil-a soon, i'm excited! those nuggets look amaaazing, especially for like 35cals a piece :D

i LOVE oatmeal- i eat the maple/brown sugar packets because when i try to make it myself i end up going way over the calories of the packet. i'm so used to making it with milk but it adds in so many calories, but i recently bought unsweetened coconut milk, and use that instead of milk. it only adds like 25 calories for a…

thanks so much everyone! it looks like an HRM is the way to go, i'm gonna start looking into them :D

ok, forgive me for this because i'm american and don't understand these "grams" and stuff, but: 1. your body burns calories regardless- you'll only gain if you go above your basal metabolic rate + the extra calories you burn as a result from not sitting in bed all day 2. your body doesn't work by pounds in-pounds out; it…

i was sitting here trying to figure out where my post went, and realized i had posted on the same exact topic with a different name posted 20 minutes before :P

stevia and sugar alcohols (erythritol's my favorite because of the extremely low carb content) are the only non-sugar sweeteners i like- both splenda and aspartame have a really awful taste to me (agave, while not artificial, tastes bad to me too D:) i'm glad that everything i like is on the good list :D

i live in the middle of nowhere- the closest thing to walk to is a mile each way, and it's a convenience store. getting groceries would be a 10 mile roundtrip. i walked a LOT when i lived in the city, but i wouldn't have logged it in my exercise calories :/

i use it in wraps, and instead of lettuce in salads :D

media :D guess i shouldn't be so happy about that haha. fashion is part of the media of course, but i think the "women and gay guys" thing is way off. unfortunately, it's a male-dominated world just about everywhere, and always has been.

i estimate a lot of stuff, but i bake a lot so my guess of a tablespoon is usually pretty accurate. maybe try estimating some stuff at home and see how accurate you are? and overestimating is better than underestimating, so if you're not sure go for the higher amount :)

I actually found low-carb pretty easy :D (I'm not on it at the moment) there weren't a whole lot of foods I liked that I could eat, and having a lack of variety actually helped me out a lot. I did have a few problems: eating out when I couldn't choose the restaurant/plan beforehand; cravings; and not getting enough…

I've seen some people around who I've thought were rude, but I've also met a ton of really nice, sweet and supportive people, and they are by far the majority. just like in any community, there are gonna be some not-so-nice people, but keep looking and you'll find some amazing people :D

no offense to you, but i HATE when people say this- if i give a crap about what a tattoo looks like in my 50s, i'll get it removed then. i have 4 tattoos and always get lines like this -_- since it's lettering, and on an area prone to extra skin when weight is lost, i'd be hesitant :/ but if you really want it, and don't…

i haven't been my goal weight since i was 13, and i know a lot of people my age on here who were heavy all thruout high school, so no to number 1. can't comment on the others till i lose more weight D:

i have a friend in christchurch, and holy crap no wonder you're stress eating. good luck to you and i sincerely hope that they stop occurring soon, and you don't get any more big ones :/

http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-rice-white-medium-grain-cooked-i20051 i always supplement with google :D since 1/2 a cup would be about 125 calories according to this (and other sites i checked), and rice roughly doubles when cooked, it looks like 1/4 cup=100 calories would be for uncooked :)

this is moving too fast, but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C3zgYW_FAM&ob=av3e @ laura :D
