That's what the restaurant lists it as...strange.

Haha, go hummus! Wow, those yogurt concoctions sound heavenly. I know what I'll be doing next time I crave Haagen Dazs.

Look at your midriff in that last picture! Rock on!

I don't have Facebook, so I'll take you at your word and say gloat away, you deserve it!

I struggled with it off and on, then I watched the documentary Sweet Misery (here's part 1 if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I73FU2_wOvU) I never touched it again.

It's inspiring to me how many of you have taken on the attitude of junk food being fun and pleasurable. I tend to begin associating those foods with guilt almost immediately when I decide to revamp my eating. I'm going to see about viewing them differently--as a necessary treat, just not a daily one.

That's very true about the actual treat factor going up as you don't make it a daily thing. This helps it to feel less "all or nothing"--the idea that it's there when we want it, and it will be delicious!

Haha, you beat that nasty junk food aversion, good for you! This gave me a much needed giggle.

Not sure if someone has mentioned this, but for me it seems the first place I put it on is the last I take it off! (hips and stomach, I'm talking to you.)

I have the same dilemma--I'll reiterate the Greek yogurt thing, it's very filling and high protein. I add a small spoonful of peanut butter to mine for double the protein punch. Last night for dinner I experimented with a no-carbs mix of chicken, veggies, fruit, and string cheese...I was surprisingly satisfied. They also…

Woohoo! You look like one of those 1950s pinups, curvy in all the right places! Congrats:-)

Wow! Looks like you revamped your hair to match, go you!

Thanks so much for clarifying all of that for me!!

Hold up, it says I earned 240 calories from exercising...should I add that figure to my daily allowance? Am I to eat that amount or not? Sorry, I'm sure I'm creating an echo chamber, but I ran a search for this topic and became very confused. Yay or nay?

Ha, good attitude! I will DEFINITELY look into alternate breads! Sheesh! Learning already.

Even though it says I'm way over for protein?

Ahhh! Overwhelming! I copied and pasted this info for future use though....thanks! Maybe once I master the basic calories in/out riddle I can tackle this.

Thanks, I think I've fixed it now! Sorry, what are those acronyms?

Nicely done! I love what you said about realizing that binging wouldn't help you keep your job. Hard to focus on this in the moment, you get a high five for doing so.

Will do, thanks!

Hey! I'm new too....my addiction is snack food when bored or stressed, so I understand how you feel. I'll add you as a friend and we can support each other:-)
