Skinny peppermint mochas from Starbucks. Other than that, there aren't really any treats that I have around this time of year I don't/can't have at any other time.

I like this granola cereal by Cascadian Farms. Has a good balance of all the granola-y things I like. I don't eat it all the time, though, cause it ain't exactly low calorie lol.

Lmao, 3000 sounds low when I consider the sheer amount of food my dad's sister's family prepares each year. My seemingly always hungry cousins could pound that out, no prob. It really isn't the meat, either - it's the mashed potatoes, potato salad, endless SODA, mac and cheese, cocktail weiners, desserts and various…

I don't actually celebrate any of the holidays, so I'm just going to treat them like normal days and eat like normal.

I s2g I thought the OP was just here looking for like-minded folks to befriend, and not people who can't seem to catch on that she ain't feeling the exercise flow... Personally, I hate "exercise." It's totally boring, and I am never gonna join a gym. I mean, I could just buy the equipment to have at home. It's awful trying…

I'm in. I'm sick of the roller coaster of doing well for a week and then falling off for a month or so. I'm maybe 160lbs or thereabaouts now (my scale died!), and would like to reach 140/the 140's by my birthday in January x)

Eh...the first time I went to look up calories for fun-sized candy (which is very annoying to do, btw....), I DID think twice and I did feel that what I had eaten was ultimately not worth it. I think a lot of people see the small candies and think, oh I can have more. And especially on Halloween, as I've done and seen…

Daily. :/

Could I join too? Could really use all the motivation I can get. Weighed in at 163 this morning, and have been struggling to get back to my lw for MONTHS. =_=

Tacos, and these cookies I like to make. Sweets in general are very tough, especially if they are the cheap "chocolates" fun sizes that come out in full force around this time of year. I think, oh I'll have just one but then somehow one becomes six and by then I could have just eaten a full-sized candy bar. As for…

Low-rise jeans were probably the first. I realized I had a muffin top. After that I realized that basically none of my clothes looked good on me, too fat for everything... :neutral_face:

I can't even believe some of the "advice" lmao. One rant, and suddenly OP needs to move out and/or incur large amounts of debt to support herself. That's freaking silly. It's like people forget that jobs and money needed to make a decent living for oneself don't exactly grow on trees, or aren't always the obvious/best…

When I eat Talenti, I eyeball it. There're 4 servings in a little tub, so I just kinda eyeball out four servings, lol. Obviously not very accurate, but it never gave me issues before. I like some of the tips you guys mentioned, especially just weighing it in a bowl.

Yeah....honestly, I tend to wanna just make my own meals because even if I find something low-cal at a restaurant, it still ends up having damn near 1,000mg of sodium and that's just ridiculous. I don't know what's going on with these places and all the dang sodium and huge proportions and stuff, but it just re-enforces…

Firefly. I watched it all in one go since I didn't know about it when it was airing. So good. Keeping Up Appearances. This used to be my night-time chill out/dessert program.

Maybe it's just me, but at 5' exactly I barely notice my weight loss :/ So I can't really see it when people say it's more noticeable on short people. You could sure notice if I gained 20lbs though -__- I think the hardest thing is really just not being able to eat as much as others, especially if you go out with taller…

Pictures. I thought I was chubby in the mirror, but then I saw myself in pics and was just disgusted. Even in outfits I thought I looked shapely/smaller in, I was still a wide load from every angle. Not cute.

Anyone can add me :) I've been at it for a while, and it's taking longer than I'd like, but I believe I can reach my goals eventually so long as I don't give up. Hard to do when without motivation!

I would like to keep living, so no. Besides, if somebody told me I looked like I gained weight they'd probably walk away with a black eye :P Anyway, it's pretty rude to make a comment like that.

Guacamole Doritos. They were effing delicious.

I used to tell my friend that I wanted to get thin, and she'd say I'd look weird 'cause my head would be really big and I'd have a little body, lol. Truthfully, I don't care. To me, that's better than walking around with a stomach that sticks out more than my boobs, or hobbling around some days because my knees woke up and…

I refuse to not eat chocolate :P I at least need something after dinner or I tend to go nuts... My favorites are gelato and dark chocolates.

I don't really get smartass comments, but if I'm weighing something or counting things off I get the "why are you doing that?" looks. I am unfortunately extremely possessive of fridge space, though, so I find myself getting annoyed when several dinners are cooked and I have to figure out how to add mine in the fridge.…

Bread. If I want anything other than the cheap stuff, it will cost at least $3 per loaf, and that's before I start considering the calorie cost. Bakery bread is sometimes good but doesn't last long enough. I guess it could be worse, though, since I don't go through bread too too fast. Fage - In particular the little cups…

There really isn't just one thing....pics always make me feel/look like I'm 250lbs instead of my actual weight. x( I guess if I had to pick it's be either my arms/calves. Blugh x(

I think I started to realize how my insecurities with my weight caused insecurities in basically every other part of my life. Because I'm fat, I can't wear the clothes I want. Because I'm fat, makeup doesn't do enough for me. Because I'm fat, I don't want to go outside in the summer. I don't want people to see this…

My issue is less with the word itself and more with how people use it. "Oh, she's on a diet, she can't eat that." "I thought you were on a diet!" "I guess she's not dieting this week." Like..STFU with that noise! What I'm doing isn't a diet in the way they think of it - which is almost always the stupid **** like you…

Wouldn't the perspective be better coming from a woman who has/has had a girlfriend? Or are you asking straight ladies what qualities they possess that contributes to being a perfect girlfriend? or... /lost

I used to measure my pb. Not heaping tablespoons full, just leveled. Then I started weighing it. Basically, I don't take one tbsp to mean an actual tbsp as far as pb goes anymore, lol. 1 tbsp is almost like two full servings in weight. I was way underestimating how much I was really getting. I weigh pretty much anything…

You can add me :) I try to be helpful/sociable, but I'm also quiet lol.
