I have had to come to terms with wine like I have with sugar. It just can't be on my every day list... Less because of the calories, I almost always have 300 calories to spare for the wine, I would just have to change a snack into wine... for me it's the "impaired eating" give me a couple of glasses of wine and I will…

I would love to run a "cook for you" business where I make premade healthy meals from local natural ingredients... or better yet, where I teach people to make healthy foods. I doubt they would buy it from a chubby girl though... I'll put that on my "things to do when I'm skinny" list like becoming a yoga and fitness…

but doesn't making a healthy version make you wonder why a tim hortons sandwich IS 400 calories? like what are they doing to cause that... can't they tone it down just a little?!

My body just doesn't like being fat... until about 170 lbs, it will generally just fall off. I eat 1300-1500 calories per day (not a lot of processed food) I will only eat back some exercise points if it really counts (like I climbed a mountain, so my body will need it) I go to yoga a few times / week, and we do a lot of…

there is no way I could get Chinese and pass up the deep fried candied meat and creasy noodles. It's just in the no-no/cheat zone.

I just try not to label my diet... It's pretty easy to follow the mantra processed = bad, fresh = good I do really well by avoiding processed foods at almost all cost. I eat less gluten because it's work to make it. (I bake my own bread, make my own pasta) so it encourages moderation. I eat less sugar because I don't use…

I made some awesome banana chocolate chip cookies for my kids... I managed to reduce the fat by a lot and made them less than 200 calories... I would personally add some protein (kids can't take nuts to school) or not put in the chocolate, but one of those and some yogurt would be a breakfast you could take with you.…

I have learned to abstain... just consider it like "i'm allergic" or "i'm lactose intolerant" some people can eat sugar and be fine... some people can have just one, some of us can polish off a dozen donuts in one sitting without looking back. I fall in the second category, so its just no. try warm brothy soup... I find…

I have almost your stats... I am wondering if you have ever been 140 lbs? When I get under 160, I start to get accused of being on drugs, and I am a size 8 (can actually do up a size 6 at 155 lbs) I was 170 through high school and wasn't "the fat girl" but I wasn't skinny either... I'm 32, have 3 kids and am 184 right now,…

yea I lost interest after the first few sentences... I think that the food industry has caused this problem (not maliciously, more innocently) where we want our food to sell better than the next guy's so all of this research goes into getting people addicted to bad food, as young as possible. It's fairly innocent, if I was…

I tend to go for the less healthy choices (like a granola bar) too when I have too many extra calories... I really can't Prelog, I'm not that organized about what I'm going to eat ahead of time. I don't even know what's for dinner tonight for once

I had a baby 9 months ago, it's like it's never coming back, but I'm fine with that!

I eat vegetarian at least 3 dinners per week, if not more... feel free to creep my profile for ideas. Do you mind if I ask why you want to be vegan? I don't like how our meat is mass produced, so I buy local and hormone free, and I eat WAY less of it. never a whole portion of meat - one chicken breast is divided between…

less if you are pregnant, so I swapped out for salmon every other day... best lunch ever

I had a roommate that figured out how many packages of mr noodles it took every day to keep him from fainting at work so he could budget as much of his money as possible his drug addiction. I have no idea what happened to that guy. Most organized junkie I have ever seen though!

I made a pumpkin, yam, coconut curry that made me love life. It was a cinnamon, clove, Jamaican style curry

There is a certain amount of heavy metals in fish, especially the older , bigger ones like tuna. Trout, salmon you can have as much as you want (within reason) if you eat too much tuna, you risk mercury exposure

unless you are deep frying and there is a ton of oil left over, I count it all

I don't ice it on purpose, but if I forget about my cuppa, I drink it cold later and it is good. I learned a lesson about breastfeeding and mint (moderation!) so I don't drink it by the gallon. (forgot that it is green peppermint lime lemongrass tea

I don't buy it from starbucks, the tea is like the starbucks tea I make it in my French press because I don't have a tea ball, or a straining pot, makes sense to me anyways

I buy a loose leaf local version of the zen tazo tea from starbucks... it's a lemongrass lime green tea... it just makes me happy and its lively. I generally stick to chamomile at night... warm things always make me feel full I like dandelion tea for detoxing, but it's not a lovely taste

you can creep my diary If you'd like, I eat three 400 calorie meals / day and a few 100ish calorie snacks... it will give you some ideas... I find cutting meat makes it REALLY east to keep the calories down, so I eat 75% vegetarian.. not sure if that would work for you, but you can friend me and stalk my eating if you want

I don't log the bites, but I do round up my portions on other things to make up for that... like I know I didn't eat a 1/4 of an avocado, but I'm not going to log 1/5th of an avocado... so when in doubt round up a little

it's essentially the same as ice cream. a healthier alternative is a fruit smoothie with a little yogurt, or a bowl of fruit salad without yogurt, or like the pp mentioned, ice cream in moderation

I make whatever I want with a side of shut up and eat it lol we do a fair amount of vegetarian meals, somehow, my whole family (boys and husband) are all ok with it... quinoa and black bean burgers are a hit, I can sub turkey in anything beef related, chick peas work into most chicken-centric dishes... I will sometimes…

also, girls love a guy that can cook ;)

I eat as cheaply as possible because we are going through tough times, and by all means, go get some free pizza, but it's a test of self control to have on piece, and it's a proud badge to have eaten only one piece (or two, whatever is reasonable - I used to take down most of a large on my own, and probably still could) I…

no I lost the last ten lbs, then I lost my metabolism, then I got sick, then I gained

I learned something today. I didn't need to know it, but I learned it!

it will also depend on where that 20 lbs are... I was certain when I started losing that I would lose 20 lbs quickly... I'm down 23 lbs now in something like 7 weeks... if I didn't have 50 to go at the beginning, that would actually be considered a concern! If it's your last 20 lbs, or you aren't overweight, then it's a…
