Several of them taste fantastic, they don't make my blood sugar spike, they fit my macros, my stomach isn't bothered by the sweetener, and they keep me full between meals. Pretty much a win all around. The cookie dough and white chocolate raspberry are my favorites. I threw the lemon and apple pie ones in the garbage. (I…

Thank you for understanding the struggle of curly haired girls. I don't think that earlier statement is demeaning at all. I have yet to meet a man who avoids an afternoon workout because his hair would be out of sorts for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, my hair is not capable of being "put back together" after a long…

Do you understand your triggers for the binges? You mentioned that you were being too restrictive. For me, that's a fast track straight to Binge City. Is there anything else? Are you depressed or feeling down about yourself? Is work or school especially stressful lately? Does family require more from you than usual? Learn…

Ohhhhhhhh so THAT'S why my body doesn't recognize Arctic Zero as a valid dessert

Yep, same here. I'm all about getting maximum sleep on work days. My two main breakfast options: 1. Yogurt with frozen berries. Prep the night before and refrigerate in a sealed container. Add nuts or granola in the morning. 2. Two boiled eggs and toast. Boil the eggs on Sunday, refrigerate. They're also a good salad…

This made me smile so much. Congratulations!

My father called me once and asked me to tell him the kind of joke that he could "take back to the garage and tell the guys." I was truly touched. :blushing:

I thought the OP was pretty clear: "What are some of the things everyone eats that is healthy but still can help count against those calories." Food recommendations were made Poor advice about keeping an unhealthy deficit was offered Healthy advice about eating enough to reach OP's calorie goal was provided Bacon and…

The jury seems to be all in on peanut butter. I agree and take it one step further by making a peanut butter shake. 32g Peanut Butter 24g PB2 1 Greek Yogurt Bar (Caramel or Chocolate variety) 1 Chocolate Protein Shake serving (Costco is my favorite but a powder with milk or water works fine too) It's a massive boost of…

That is tragic :(

I adore sushi but wasabi makes me die a little inside. I wish death upon the jerkfaces who put a dollop in the middle of nigiri. Also, Arctic Zero "Ice Cream". I was personally offended by the awfulness which filled that disgraced pint container.

Nice list! There are so many reasons why people end up gaining weight. It is rarely a simple story for anyone. In my case, I had a rogue tumor that kicked my thyroid into a tailspin. 6 years of failed treatments, medications with terrible side effects, and crippling depression pushed me toward 300 lbs. I finally ended up…

Ahem... (And of course, anything Mario or Zelda)

WHERE IS THIS MAGICAL PLACE?!

You mentioned that you suffer from mental health problems. If you are already seeing a therapist, please open up to them about your struggle with this problem. If you are not seeing a therapist, please find one. At the very least, find a trusted friend or family member to talk about this with. Hiding the shame of binging…

Same. I was going to organize a donation event.

In other words... Eat that pulled pork and savor every delicious bite!

Same :) I get mine from Costco and have them almost every day. They are a bit more expensive than making your own with powders. The cost is worth it for me as I'm always on the go.

Support Patience More Patience Support I added a good group of friends who have similar goals and enjoy interacting frequently. My support system at home is very small. My online newsfeed is anything but small. It is full of encouragement. There are usually comments from kind friends and discussions to join. On busy days I…
