Oh god I wish I hadn't seen this...

Everyone can feel free to add me, too. I'm 40 years old, which is weird to me because I thought for sure I'd feel more "grown up" by now. I love to run, love to lift, love to cook, love to EAT. I struggle a lot and post very little in the forums... a lot of it just seems very "Facebook" to me... and there's already one too…

I only like the "cake" donuts, don't much care for the regular more spongy kind if I have a choice. That being said, I sure wouldn't turn any of them down.

Did cocktail really not make it past the censors??? hahahaha :laugh: :drinker:

What about a banana or orange? They come in their very own packages. Just have to remember to eat them before the 'nana turns black!

One million percent support for almonds! I buy the bulk bag from Costco, measure out 100 cal worth on my food scale and put them in little baggies. Nothing easier.

Layne Staley's death really made me sad - left alone to decompose for days... :brokenheart:

Layne Staley - still kind of weirded out about it. Heath Ledger - ditto. Waylon Jennings - I still miss you!

The splash of almond milk I use in my coffee or oatmeal - at 30 cals for an entire cup, I don't think a splash is of any consequence. Some veggies, if they are the snack in and of themselves. For example, I wouldn't count a few bites of raw broccoli, but I would count the aggregate calories in a salad. Sugar free chewing…

That makes 2 of us! I have binged on the weirdest things before, that don't even make any sense and are not particularly appealing.

Peanut Butter - I will eat the entire jar, no kidding. Cookies or brownies, which includes the ingredients to make them myself - The whole batch will be down my hatch.

I feel you! I was a shift worker and a full-time law student. Now, I'm a shift worker and studying for the bar exam. I never know what time of day or what day of the week it is! I found that it worked for me to divide my diary into blocks of 8 hours: 7-3, 3-11, and 11 to 7. I also have an "Other/Wine" category for well...…

I feel you. And those little "100 cal" Little Debbies and whatnot only piss me off. A brownie as big as a postage stamp... no thanks! It just wakes the cookie monster demon up.

I love this blog! Have used it many times. And, she loves PB as much as I do.

I have tried many of the HG swap recipes. I like everything I have tried. Too much. If you have a problem controlling yourself around sweets (as I do!) they are still quite dangerous because the temptation to eat the entire batch (Don't judge. I'm a swing binge-dieter lol) is still there! This one, peanut butter brownies,…

37 - or so the calendar says. Emotionally, I'd say I'm at least 25. Maybe 26 :bigsmile: Anyone can feel free to add me. I'm a runner, I love lifting weights, and I am a Texas gal but I live in Northern Virginia.

It's the raw garlicky kale, man. Does it to me every time. PS. Law school blows and I somehow managed to gain a ton of weight. Most miserable 3 years of my life! lol good luck!

I recently went through a very shameful period of an unholy addiction to the Whole Foods salad bar (healthier items, of course... that hot bar is PURE EVIL). I was a broke law school student and even the sticker price could not stop me from going once a week. It's amazing how much you can smush down into that little…

Ditto, sub in almond milk and banana. HEAVEN.

Amazing post! Thanks for sharing. And yes, you do get used to it. Or, at least I do. It's amazing how much less food it takes to satisfy me if I actually eat nutritious things, mindfully... rather than gorging on junk at lightning speed.

I have the ones that fit in my ears. I have "problem" ear holes, and ear buds typically either hurt me or fall out during a run. These have never, ever hurt or fallen out.

This. Yurbuds are the only thing that has ever worked, and believe me I have tried everything. I have the $60 "Ironman" model, that comes with a dry mic and the ability to pause, FF, or rewind the track that's playing. Worth EVERY penny. And, it comes with some sort of a warranty, which I've never had to use (knock on…

I hear you, OP. For me the hardest part of this is not the dieting, not the restricting, and not the exercise. It's learning to live with myself while I am in this state!

Peanut Butter :heart: is the best thing in the world. All I need is a spoon, and I'm good to go. Unfortunately it is also very much a trigger food for me, and I can no longer keep any quantity of it around. To that end, PB2 seemed like a god-send. At first it did the trick - it is quite tasty, I could measure the exact…
