Why is eating the yolks a splurge? I eat whole eggs almost every day. They are healthy and packed with nutrition. Having two hard boiled ones on my salad tonight actually.

Good job. Life is to short to skip on the foods you love. Moderation is key, and it helps most people from binging on those things down the road.

The same could be asked of you after throwing the tantrum you just did. Actually, your posts are more hostile than those of anyone else in this thread. There is a lot of helpful advice here if you are willing to listen, but it sounds like you're not.

I just don't get the love for them. I was eating them for about a month because people told me they were an acquired taste and I would get hooked on them after a while. I tried microwaving and baking them and nearly all flavors. A month in I still found them to be "meh." I do love the Pure Protein bars, not to the point of…

This. Cleansing/detox products for your body are not needed (well the inside of your body anyway, lol). They are nothing but a marketing scam and a waste of money.

You're probably being too strict with your goals. Are you set to lose 2 pounds a week? Change it to one pound or half a pound a week to allow yourself more calories. If you are only eating 1200 cals per day you should be eating back ALL of your exercise calories. People that don't when their calories are set that low are…

Nothing, lol...I'd rather be single. Have been for almost 12 years, and I like it that way. :)

Well, the fact that you are here talking to strangers about this rather than talking to him is telling in and of itself. I was in the opposite situation as you are years ago. My boyfriend wanted me to marry him, but I didn't want to get married. I've never wanted to get married and never will. I have my reasons, and I'm…

I have no advice other than I feel your pain, lol. I have at least one of those days a month, and it would be more but I somehow manage some self control on the other days. The day before seems to be the worst though in terms of hunger and being a bottomless pit. I just allow myself more calories, sometimes even go into…

Are you using a food scale and weighing EVERYTHING you eat...even prepackaged foods? If you're not, then chances are you have no idea what you're putting in your mouth. Food scales should be used for solid foods, not measuring cups. And you are getting many productive comments.

Here...scroll to number 10, but keep in mind 1 through 9 along the way... http://www.acaloriecounter.com/blog/why-am-i-not-losing-weight/

If this was the case, you wouldn't have any weight to lose. You were/are eating more than you think.

^^^This. You're not in starvation mode.

Ha, ha! That's so funny. My grandma used to keep sewing supplies in a tin like this. I remember being so excited to find cookies in the basement only to open the tin and see needles and thread. :D

Same here. I eat dessert every day and not any of that low fat crap. REAL dessert.

...Or eat dinner late. I'm not sure if this is an option for you because many like to eat with their family, but it's what I do. It's also the meal that makes up the majority of my calories for the day. I have always been a night time eater, so this just works for me. I usually don't start eating until about 11 a.m. or…

All of them. Never understood the appeal of alcohol. I tried quite a few drinks in my younger days, and they all tasted horrible. I only choked them down when I was drinking around friends. Usually just sipped them, lol.

Chipotle chicken salad on crackers. It was yummy.

^^^This exactly. You need to eat more.

This. I look at the fat as a minimum, same as with protein. I go over it daily, sometimes by quite a bit. I typically eat between 80 and 100 grams of fat per day. It doesn't affect weight loss. I've lost over 80 pounds consistently eating that much. Despite what some think, fat does not make you fat.

No moderation will not cause you to burn out. Moderation is what makes a diet sustainable. I eat regular servings of the foods I love and fit them in my calories because this is the way I plan on eating after I lose the weight. Many of us that do that don't need cheat days because we don't deprive ourselves to begin with.…

This is my thought and what I do. "Cheat days" are a huge pet peeve of mine, but to each their own I guess. The way I look at it, if you are depriving yourself to the point where you need a cheat day then you may want to reevaluate your eating plan to determine if it's sustainable for you in the long term.

I am a night time eater, but I am rarely hungry earlier in the day. I have always been like that. So since I've been on MFP, I save most of my calories for the evening. I usually don't start eating until around noon. Sometimes I will have a small snack in the morning if I am hungry. Then I eat a small meal at noon time,…

Well, sometimes keeping tabs on progress by weighing helps with accountability and making sure you are moving in the right direction. I mean, if someone is gaining weight, that may mean they need to reevaluation what they are doing, and how will they know if they're going in the wrong direction if they don't keep track?…

Maybe a night light, lol...

I move mine around...makes no difference as long as it's on a flat surface and there is nothing under one of the legs.

^^^This. A man after my own heart. :) Chocolate and peanut butter all the way.

Um, what? You're not eating enough to lose weight? Sorry, it doesn't work like that. If you aren't losing weight, you're eating too much, not too little.

^^^This. When I started this back in August, I pretty much had to change my idea of "full." I wasn't getting full in the way I was used to getting full. Your body will adapt and you will get used to not feeling overly stuffed. That overly stuffed feeling is actually what is not normal. You should feel satiated, but not…

Well, look at it this way. If it turns her on, at least there is a good chance you will be getting sex after the movie.
