Total sidebar: most polite, awesomely supportive comments I've seen on here yet. You guys are awesome!

1) I LOVE your pic! 2) IMO, It always seems to depend on feel. That part is always awkward nowadays. It's great to sit back and have him just "be the man," but he expects a contribution more and more. 3) Despite that, I believe that if you believe the typical gender roles of a man to "man up and be a man" (even if you…

If this is about physical (which is likely b/c it's a diet site), I guess my eyes?

I'm always trying to better myself. "I'm" never enough. I always want to be better and to learn enough to make a difference (in a good way :-))

@Abbdul - 2nd! Hot!

Thank you :-)

Because it was a curiosity on the science/reason behind it and the responses were telling the OP either what others had done or what conventional wisdom tells you to do. It was a simple *general* question, not reflective upon the own poster's desire to follow that plan, per say. They just wanted to know *why* and were NOT…

Touche, but I will listen to someone who sources their data more than someone who accuses someone with simple opinion. DISPROVE and I will listen. Peace out :-).

No one here is telling them to moderate. They're saying they ARE moderating and people are telling them that they are still bad. Well, I'm sorry but sugars are actually not bad for you, they're good (again) in moderation. Edit: I'm out all. There is no end to this, so I'm just backing out. Good luck to all, no matter your…

The logic is in the fact that any extreme has been scientifically proven to be damaging. Balance and equilibrium is key in all things. Therein lies my logic. Then again, it all comes down to each individual's definition of junk, I suppose.

Mentally ill may not have been said, but the condescension was certainly palpable in some cases. Almost as if to say "well, do what you will do but I personally don't want to be unhealthy." Edit: Oh God...even I notice how this is argumentative and I'm sorry. I just think some of the comments may not have been as…

I've tried to stay out of this until now, but: 1) The whole point here is that people have a moderated amt of comfort foods. Name for me one person in those "olden days" who did not eat more fats and unhealthy foods than not. I've heard how life was and learned recipes from them (German, Polish, Irish, poooor descent…

For some, I believe this belief is because they medically cannot. A fraction of those people fighting it may be bitter. Some also feel the all or nothing mentality the scientific paper previously mentioned warned against. For a very chosen few, that works. But for the vast majority, it does not and is actually wildly…

All due respect to everyone's approach at this process, but I really do not understand why people are thinking you're doing yourself a disservice or even insinuating people are damaging themselves dramatically for eating less than *their* idea of less than stellar foods...especially when nearly everyone here is suggesting…

^^This!! Add this to my previous reason!!

I'm pretty sure the argument has been more that it's unsustainable, not attainable. I could be wrong, but I think the people arguing for the so-called junk food are simply saying that they refuse to cut it all out to an extreme because that would not be sustainable for them.

BEST post I've seen in a very long time! Way to quote science like a boss! Love it! THANK YOU!! :-) Edit: Sorry...I'm a scientist and I find that this is severely lacking in all the finger pointing we see! :-) Back it up, yo! Edit 2: Before I'm flamed, myself included :-P. I do usually try to put a wide-angled lens on…

No worries! I only wanted to be sure you meant what I thought you did! :-)

^^This!! But do you mean un-apologetically?

That's great! Keep up the good work!! :flowerforyou:

Good for you! Seriously, it takes a lot of strength to admit that and take control of it! Wish you the best!

I'm from Buffalo, NY. Period. It's a town where beer and chicken wings reign supreme. Mix that with a loathing for exercise and that pretty much answers that.

Owned. Like a boss.

LOL! Well played.

I have a friend who has been working in retail for half her life that is writing a book about it. Hopefully it will be a good eye-opener and help people realize how they treat others.

AMEN! I worked in retail for 5 years and it's amazing how much it ruins your faith in humanity lol! People who have never worked in a "service" industry don't seem to be able to comprehend how nasty, rude and inconsiderate people can be. I appreciate that people want to always find the good in people, but it's harder and…

Can someone please direct me to the OP. I'm semi new here and I'm not sure I've found the right one: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/905494--ice-cream-recipe?hl=ice+cream&page=2#posts-13816723 Edit: If this is correct, I've seen more people complaining about it being rude than it actually being rude. I got the…

Same here! I don't share because I don't need the judgements from random people. I have enough drama in my life lol! But if I want this to be sustainable, I will eat health-IER while still enjoying everything I love. I'm not going to cut everything I love out of my life only to relapse later because I want things I enjoy.…
