Zero.

If someone offers me cake I think it means that they like me, not that they are a "hater". I usually say "thank you and have a small piece, or I say "no thank you", or I say "yeah gimme gimme!" And eat a big piece. This hasn't caused weight gain yet. Once so wine said I was "really crazy" when they saw me put my food on a…

The Proclaimers. I will walk one hundred miles.

^is that a euphanism?

It could still happen. I think running outside might help. I got to a point a few years ago where I would only be running for a few minutes and I would start to feel it. Mostly it's a variable intermittent high. The most addictive kind:)

I have one rule: Eat at or under TDEE. You can even average it out over the week and you'll lose weight. Of course, rule number 5 will help with this.

I might have a few extra ones. Just let me go check....

You helped me understand. Thank you, it is complicated and different for every person. The only thing I want to say that might be contrary to your OP is that you are young! If you've wasted time it's just a blip in your life. You have many years ahead of you and congrats on getting your degree in the midst if it all!

It can be a helpful place to be:). Welcome.

have you tried it with nutella?

It's so pretty. I'm making one now.

I think that this thread is about distorted thinking. When I started to eat at a calorie deficit, I limited my potato chip consumption because I believed that I was incapable of eating a reasonable portion. I also told myself lots of other lies about myself to sabotage my efforts and encourage my belief that this won’t…

Do it for yourself OP. It's hard to hear taunts about being too skinny. People make comments more freely because they seem to think it's not as rude as making fat comments.

I do this too! I love cilantro.

Yum!

I went to the UK for two weeks once. I made sure I walked every day, but other than that I ate lots of my 3 c's: chocolate, cheese and chips on too of big meals. I was surprised that when I got home I had maintained my weight. I don't go as crazy on holidays now as I used to, but I usually find if I do gain anything it's…

Figure out your TDEE and decide your macros. Write a list of all the foods you love, your favourite snacks, breakfasts, lunches, dinners etc. figure out how you can incorporate these foods into your day and still meet your goals. Include your favourite veggies. Are you getting enough protein? If you're not, figure out how…

I think you should stop. If you think it's a problem and it's affecting you then stop. MFP won't leave so you can always cone back if change your mind. Go, enjoy your pregnancy, and stay healthy for that little one:)

If you're 'sick' of it and you're talking about it, then it's working. It's all about increasing awareness. The people know, the more they can help.

I think I heard this woman's son talk on CBC yesterday. He believes that it is inevitable that the laws will change eventually and I think he might be right. It's a beautiful story. I think she's a brave woman with strong convictions. I don't have a problem with her actions or her blog (which I haven't read). However, this…

That sounds sensible. Enjoy the wedding !

Yes it is possible. I know because I've done it, I noticed a small difference in about five weeks (I took pictures), but the first 12 weeks showed the most remarkable difference. I did a full body workout three times a week, HIIT for 20 minutes three times a week and ate at a deficit. I think it was strengthening my…

Let's pretend we're talking about what tastes better. Finally OP! A deep subject for discussion. Normally, I would say pizza, but right now I'm hungry and pancakes would be nearly orgasmic! I'll get back to you. :undecided:

Yes. Mine is, and I'm sticking with my answer!

I'm sorry:(

You can only learn to notice what you are doing to make yourself unhappy. Al-anon can help with this. He does not need to do a thing for you to go to al-anon, feel better, and/or enjoy your life. You might need to make a big decision, but you need to feel strong and healthy mentally before you do. You may be able to find…

I just walk away quietly then have a private crying session in the bathroom.

I've been at or close to my goal weight for nearly two years!!! In your face! That was motivating, ty

I had about 25 tortilla chips with advocados while I was cooking dinner. I am SURE I won't gain weight from them.

^I'm disappointed you didn't say restraints.
