^ This. I pre-plan most of my meals to meet my macros but I have whatever the hell I want. Pizza. Burgers. Chicken wings. Sweets. Beer. Wine. I make it all fit along side the greek yogurt, fresh fruit and vegetables, various lean protein sources etc. It's working for me. If someone criticized my diary I'd probaby laugh in…

me too.

aaannnnnd now I know who you remind me of. The Cowardly Lion from Wizard of Oz.

I wouldn't wish either of my sisters on any man.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always…

I promise not to be taller than you when we meet next month.

The point is that regardless of whether someone is calling you fat or giving you grief for being too skinny (in their mind) the comments are still hurtful…

you forgot "eat, b!tch" at least I said it as I set a plate of steak, mac n cheese, baked beans and corn on the cob in front of you. :smooched: seriously though . . .

^her? I thought she was Australian . . .

^ this I buy Dannon Greek but the light and fit version. Way less calories (80), still 12g of protein and usually only 8 or 9 carbs and 6 or 7g of sugar. I buy the flavor blends or the vanilla and add my own fresh fruit.

^THIS! I drink that *kitten* errryday. Often its multiple times a day. Sometimes I water down my Captain with it. Don't judge me!

My thought exactly!

We HAVE to do that again.

I'll just sit over here and keep eating my (homemade) egg sandwich covered in cheese every morning for an average price of about $0.75. Oh, and I'll keep dropping clothing sizes while I do it. kthxbye.

Me too!
