  • I'm of the belief that only words or looks can make that insinuation. eg; -Saying, "oh no! I'd feel like a pig if I ate a bigger slice!" is insinuating. -Giving an eyebrow raise at the portion they take compared to yours is insinuating. Simply taking a smaller slice is about you not them. They can assume it's because you…

  • I can't say that I really run into people like that. However, when the topic of nutrition comes up, I don't lie - I'm pretty anal about what I do or don't put into my body. It has nothing to do with wanting to lose weight, it's about health. I make healthy choices. I doubt people think I "don't need to", I think that they…

  • I might be wrong, but that's not the impression I get from her/his post. I think they're saying that when they put their new weight into MFP after losing weight, nothing changes regarding calories. I think they want to know if they should be reducing their calories in order to drop a few more pounds, even though MFP…

  • So, at what point does wanting to lose "just a few more pounds" become disordered? If you are within a healthy range (or, perhaps, underweight...), maybe it's true - maybe a few more pounds loss isn't the answer, maybe more strength training and core exercise is, especially if your reasoning is "well, they can't see what's…

  • Can/should a person really only eat 1000 calories per day long term? Is that realistic for the rest of ones life?
