There is a very simply answer. It's because vegans have magical powers. And they don't always use them for g

I'm honest in my food diary mostly so I can talk about how honest I am about my food diary, and question why anyone could possibly do it differently. It's what makes me feel good. Honest.

I don't think what she's wearing is the issue. Deal with the real problem. It's in the first sentence you wrote.

I find it kinda sad... that after being on MFP for awhile and gaining some knowledge about health and nutrition that I seem unable to muster the patience and compassion to help others. For whatever reason, I seem to forget that I spent years not having a clue about nutrition and as soon as I see some success I look at…

A clever friend created this: Much better T-shirt, IMO It does show that I was wrong earlier.

Not when you fry that *kitten* up.... Mmmmmmm.... fried okra.......

Yeah, I know some people see that quote as clever or cute (I think it's simply wrong - that you aren't eating the good food). But the statement is sometimes associated with pro-ana. I know that the intent of the message might be fine, but it's the all-inclusive language (nothing) that's likely the trigger. Maybe the intent…

Maybe before this: We should start here:

Spending time with my family, looking into their eyes, and thanking them.

Is this thread for you to state that fasted cardio is perfectly fine as long as someone doesn't fast longer than you do?

It's funny because they're M&Ms.

Grief is such a crazy roller coaster. It's not linear, and it's not consistent. I'm sorry you are hurting. I am glad you have a supportive community, and glad you are seeking strength to get through the day. I don't know you and you don't know me, and my personal beliefs may be meaningless to you. But I will tell you that…

I know you like cookies.

yes

Not bad for you per se. But be careful - consuming those ingredients have been known to affect punctuation.

Yep. Birthday dinners. My wife heard a friend talk about this and we co-opted the idea: starting at age 5, the girls get to go out to dinner at a restaurant of their choosing on their birthday (I have two girls, now 11 and 8). When we started, I got all excited, even dressed up for the occasion. The first dinner? Luby's…

(emphasis added) Because a lot of people don't have the capacity (or willingness) to think outside of their circle of judgment, experience and values.

Hot yoga can give falsely high calorie burn readings using a HRM. (smarter people than me have explained this well - I believe the heat raises the heart rate, which is measured by HRM as more calories being burned.) Go with regular yoga when recording your calorie burns. Bikram yoga is a strict set of poses in a hot room.…

I think it's really cool that you are helping your friend with MFP. Are you really posting about concerns for your friend, or is this a convenient context in which to place your soapbox?

Oh... I thought this was a discussion about when is it okay to leave your newborn in the car. Because that's just wrong. Unless you crack the windows and are really wasted.

I don't blame her for someone else's jerky behavior. That would be silly. I do blame her for engaging with someone after she elected to end the relationship, and for picking up the phone to make her point. As asinine as this guy's excuse was, it was the result of her CALLING HIM. He didn't provide his stupid excuse until…

Tuna tastes best when wearing a rhinestone collar with a small bell attached.

A month after breaking up with someone, you get angry text messages and instead of just ignoring them, you pick up the phone and call him to talk to him again? That's outrageous!

I was through reading the first page of responses before I realized that was a typo. I though "dill this out" was slang the young kids were saying. True story. I'm old. Of course you meant "bill" as in a hand bill, as in post no bills.

You showed them. Just curious - if you shoved two whole brownies in your mouth, and chewed it up half way, does that mean you chewed up one whole brownie and the other one was un-chewed? Or that you had two chewed up half brownies in your mouth? I'm working on some story problems for the kids and want to get the details…

You stated you typically find every excuse you can to not eat healthy or exercise. You finally started making better choices. That's great, and worthy of celebrating. I hope you continue to make healthy choices. How long did it take you to get to that point? How long did you focus on wanting to change your choice-making? I…

I don't know how much you weigh, or how much you are tying to lose, but for many people, 1,360 cals is a pretty low daily goal. Are you trying to lose more than one pound a week? Your ticker says you've lost 4 pounds and trying to lose 10 total. If you are attempting to lose 10 pounds total at a rate faster than 1 pound a…

Implementing the "Like" button for Premium members. So glad they did that.

I am both to different friends - sometimes playing both roles within the same relationship. My MFP friends are important to me. I am honest and vulnerable and supportive and critical and sarcastic and see humor in any situation. I try to speak the truth as much as possible (often talking/typing too much). Relationships are…

The real power of ignore lies in using it without announcing you are using it.
