I doubt you are delusional. It can be hard to assess the true size of clothing and how it will fit on your body.

And yet those of us without enough money are just left to die. But those of us with untreated health problems aren't supposed to hate Big Pharma for pricing us out of medicine? There is no "forgetting". Doing some good doesn't erase your sins. And researching medicine to sell to people for $1000 a month or more doesn't…

Women burn more calories during their menstrual cycle, don't they? So it seems normal to want to eat more then. Extra pounds are probably from bloating and water retention.

0 hunger is acceptable for me. If I'm hungry, I eat. That will never change. If deliberate hunger were a requirement for weight loss, I wouldn't bother with it.

It meets the category description's terms most accurately. I found a chart on Calorie Lab that says "Lifting items continuously 10-20 lb objects, with limited walking or resting" burns 308 calories per hour at my weight. So I burn an extra 6000ish calories a week from it at my lowest scheduled weeks (or more). I don't know…

I get over it by not having a scale around. That may sound extreme, but there are alternatives. There are public scales in some pharmacies and gyms, and it's easier to restrict yourself to once a week if you have to drive to access the scale.

You can find it under Settings < Diary settings <Calorie Adjustments

It lets your Fitbit tell MFP when it estimates you've burned more calories than that. Say your Fitbit knows you walked 5 miles and must have burned 2200 calories--it can tell MFP that. Same with if your Fitbit thinks you've only burned 900. I think that's what that option if for anyway...

How can you measure your weight loss when it's fluctuating though? If I weigh 150 this week, and measure myself next week and it says 148...and then 152...and then 153, and then 146, all within 20 minutes, what am I to believe? Did I lose weight or gain it? I wished I'd gotten the WW scale. It was $9 a few weeks ago at one…

Because everyone is not you and some people enjoy walking a lot more than a workout? If someone wants to up themselves to 5 miles of walking a day to help lose weight, that's a fine method to choose.

It's definitely possible to hit 10,000 walking indoors solely. I've hit 14,000 from all-indoors walking. Walking in stores like Walmart or Lowes, that are huge, helps a ton. I've nabbed 3k just browsing around Lowe's a little. If you're walking inside your home, which means pacing back and forth, listening to some music or…

Choceur Hazelnut bars are my favorite, although Dove is really good too--one of the silkiest, smoothest, richest chocolate bars, and for a low price :)

Cosigning this. Fat shaming is a thing that happens to a lot of people, I've seen it happen to family, to friends, seen people be treated like less than dirt, like garbage, because of their size/weight. There is no excuse for it, but it definitely happens. I'm sorry to hear it's happened to you too Kame.

What the hell is wrong with you? Why should a person put up with being bullied, insulted, and mocked while they go to the gym? it's hard enough for overweight people to exercise in public without people blatantly bullying them. "Put up with it"...why? Why should a person accept being treated like ****? It's not…

No, we only have lots of stuff implying that people that suffer from something are just lazy, like this" " A lot of people don't want to be poor either, but don't lift a finger to educate themselves and invest their money wisely. If you want something badly enough then you work for it. Period. " and people like…

I haven't noticed it so much with sweetness, but when I went several years eating mostly scratch-cooked food made from fresh ingredients, I found things like pre-packaged cookies and Little Debbies absolutely disgusting. They had so little taste, it was like eating a slightly-sweetened piece of cardboard. They were overly…

Go-to for breakfast is oatmeal. Go-to for lunch & dinner is baked potatoes. I like to keep things simple :)

Could it be what you wearing when you were weighing in? (i.e you were wearing a heavy pair of jeans instead of leggings this time?) I wouldn't be too upset over the weight gain. It's a very small amount, and many people actually gain a little weight as they become fitter, because they're adding muscle.

Don't listen to them, they've drank the Kool-aid. "a calorie is a calorie is a calorie" is bull**** that's used to justify eating unhealthily, with the justification that "it's inside my calorie limit". Food is not all the same.

Yeah I've seen them on the pharmacy shelves. They come in bright red cans of powder I think, and there's usually an offbrand version too. Haven't tried them myself though.

@oinkerjin, @Heidicooksup: I got my big surprise already :) See I'd been eating things like home-made bread, canning our own salsa and ketchup, cooking from scratch, and it never really occurred to me that they could want to add so much to something as simple as ketchup or tomato soup. And the bread thing is just, wow.…

Pinto beans with carrots. Maybe some cornbread on the side.

Um, what? Where have I said that I am definitely going to cut HFCS? I don't think I've said anything of the sort. All I've done is corrected you on some incorrect statements you had made--that no one here had mentioned any benefits. Is your reading comprehension really that poor or do you just enjoy jumping to erroneous…

Brett, at least 3 people have mentioned cutting out adverse effects by cutting HFCS. That is hardly "seeing no benefits". Just because it makes no difference for some people doesn't mean the same is true for everyone. I bought a case of eyeshadow once and the first time I tried it, my skin started burning almost…

@VeryKatie: I'm glad you mentioned that about octopus/squids being shellfish (allergy-wise). I didn't know that and I apologize to the OP for suggesting it.

Miso soup is low-cal, so eat that to help fill up if you can. Watch the sushi rolls--if you eat multiple ones you can be taking in a lot of rice that can plump up the calories. I think sushi rolls are anywhere between 150-350 calories so if you're eating multiple ones @_@ you might be better off order a big piece of salmon…

Glad to hear writing it out helped you :) Most of us cave at some point, but accepting we can't be perfect and keeping on striving is the best thing we can do.

Great to see some other nerdy/geeky people on here :) I'm a panromantic asexual, and I really like anime, sci-fi and fantasy novels, and video games. I love art and it just amazes me. I'm a moral nihilist but art tends to create feelings of awe in my despite that. I think creating things is a very spiritual act.…

There's no reason to be rude about it, as you noted yourself, food choices are different in the states.
