Except that's still not necessarily true either. Eating what I want when I want was exactly what helped me to start making healthier choices because while most of the time I ate "junk" when I was at my heaviest, it wasn't really because I enjoyed the food that much, it was stress eating and not really what I wanted. I…

Although I'm kind of wishing pizza was for dinner tonight now though. :lol:

Exactly! And I feel kind of bad because it's like 5-10 veterans having to repeat themselves over and over to like 2 people who are just adamant that they are right about only eating clean (or whatever they are arguing about now) and refusing to listen to veterans who have done this for YEARS and are still doing this and…

Reading along in that thread is kind of like watching a train wreck - it's horrifying but I can't look away.

Myself and my entire family have been obese almost our entire lives and I have never seen one of us finish an entire pizza by ourselves. Ever. We don't even get close to that. We typically would (I'm married now so we no longer all eat together so that is why this is past tense) order two pizzas and have a couple of slices…

Absolutely seconded by a former newbie (and just a lurker most of the time) - I cannot say thank you enough to the veterans who come on the boards every day and try to teach the newbies and explain things like calorie counting, food logging, moderation, etc over and over and OVER, especially when there are newbies who…

Just had a bowl of chocolate marshmallow ice cream. With whipped cream on top. Mmm....

I also ate a banana today to show my support for BD.

I took a picture of my lunch yesterday and forgot to post it. :disappointed: I'll try to remember later tonight. It wasn't really that fancy or pretty though, just happened to be in bento boxes. :lol:

Yup - I'm like "But I eat chocolate every day! Please let me in the cool group!" :lol:

Whatever snacks you like to eat and that will work in your day. Personally, I keep a couple of kinds of granola bars that I actually like in my purse at all times just in case I need it (I used to carry stuff I didn't like and wouldn't eat and then realized how silly that was when I had to throw it out months later because…

Awesome! Happy (belated) Birthday!!

I've only had the dark chocolate and dark mint so I can't speak for the other two but that classic dark though. I could easily eat a package myself. :lol:

Guilty as charged and unashamed. On that note, guess who ordered several more boxes and a couple of accessories just a bit ago? :blush:

To go home and curl up in my bed, not here listening to people talk.

Yes! Another picture is required now!

For those who wanted the R2D2 Bento, seems that it dropped a little in price on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-R2-D2-Bento-Box/dp/B015AT2B98/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1489609887&sr=8-22&keywords=bento+box Don't know if that helps and I'm sorry I don't remember who liked it!

Found it!! Just wanted to bump the picture because I love it so much. I really am slacking though, I probably have about a quarter to half of that size of collection - clearly I need to buy more! :lol: Plus then I may actually get to use them - a couple of mine have warped with use and don't close properly anymore. Sad…

Love it!! None of us have self control when it comes to bento-ing, it's a sickness. A really awesome, adorable sickness. Remember @mangrothian's picture of all her boxes?? :lol: I'm not there yet but I'm getting there. I need to go shop for more bento stuff now. I'm feeling the fever again. :lol:

What?? Just....what?!? :astonished:

I have never been happier than the day I found Tim Tams at my local Target. That stuff is beyond amazing. I may or may not have it in my house regularly now.

I thought this too!! :lol:

Welcome!! Your bento looks beautiful and delicious!! :smiley: I love that pink and white box, I may have to look out for one similar (like I don't already have more than I need).

Wow - that's awesome that you stick to it, you are much more disciplined than I am - I do pre-log as well but then if I am too hungry then it all goes out the window for me and I eat all the things. Or if I'm not in the mood for what I pre-logged, I'll change it but then it doesn't necessarily hit my goals the same way as…

I'm usually this way too or at least I have been for the past few months but then I tended to make bad decisions in the evening because "I have so many calories left!" or because I was starving. Now I do something similar - I still do a really light breakfast late in the morning (not until 10 or 11 at the earliest) of some…

Happy belated birthday!!!! Glad you enjoyed yesterday, sounds delicious!!

I eat a lot of chicken - it's what I have and the cheapest for me to get. I think I generally have in the 300-400g range on days when I eat chicken (some days I'm sick of chicken so I'll opt for something else). Like you said, it helps keep me full and get my protein in for the day. We do eat a lot of eggs, cottage cheese,…

Hubby picking me up. We carpool so basically I'm just looking forward to the end of the work day. Spring. Next month is our anniversary so we'll probably do a weekend getaway or something. And April is just my favorite month in general.

I don't know if I can sit here but for what it's worth I have some of those Oreo eggs and they are indeed good. Don't really taste like Oreos as a whole but does kind of taste like the Oreo crème in the middle. Really sweet though so my sweet tooth must be in high gear for me to eat one. I brought extra if you want one.

Aww, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @quiksylver296!!!! Hope your day is awesome and delicious!!
