You can disbelieve all you want, but the fact is, most people don't know what a serving is, and think that a serving is what you eat during a meal. I am one of those persons who didn't know what a serving is and regularly ate (and eat) wayyyy more than I should have. Most of my family members and colleagues who aren't…

But this isn't? MFP regulars' attitude is so frustrating to me sometimes, with everyone acting so "done" and "literally can't even" because someone presents information that they may know very well but that is new to a large number of people. Yes we get that you are perfectly aware of what is in your food and how it is…

What he says sounds harsh and rude, but he may have just meant that you fall within the "very overweight" category on the BMI. Those words have negative connotations but they mean a specific thing in that context. That said, and like the smart people above have said, the BMI becomes less and less useful when a person is…

I often see news sites refer to the work of the authors of their articles (and to their twitter handles etc). Maybe that's why I'm not struck by it in the same way as you are. I think that probably his book expounds further on what the article is about in any event, so if the article is a plug I'm fine with it, I think…

This was brilliant, thanks for sharing!

Would have been really cool if you could have just admitted you were wrong.

I agree with @jgnatca. Love yourself, don't fight yourself! Let your starting point be a place of love and not loathing. This sounds very zen and hippie-ish but it's so true. It makes such a difference.

^ You should listen to the advice of persons who have experienced what you're experiencing and have at least some success with overcoming their issues! It sounds to me like you either hold the view that taking charge of your binge-eating is so difficult that it will be almost impossible and you're kind of self-defeated at…

Do women actually want to be identified as a Samantha? Weird... I would have thought most women would associate themselves with Carrie, then Charlotte, then Miranda (for the overtly career-minded).

I loved this thread before but now I love you as well. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge, and also for handling some trolls on earlier pages so well.

And I know there's the 2/10 would bang yucky guy meme, but real question are people not allowed to find other people more physically attractive than others because they themselves are not deemed to be at their peak? Sort of related, but this may be why when people in relationships lose weight, their partners become…

Clearly the correct answer was, "I like girls...no women...with a kind heart and beautiful eyes. But I don't care about how her eyes actually look, as long as they radiate her inner beauty. Anything else is seriously irrelevant to me".

Officially convinced that people on this site are addicted to arguing and that it feeds into their sense of superiority.

I love bread and wheat flour products and am happier when I eat them. However I find that breads and other wheat products are generally high in calories, but they only fill me up for a while - I can eat a whole lot calorie-wise and be hungry a couple hours later, whereas rice and beans and meat are way more satiating for…

Way to go...keep it up!! :)

Really good advice. Once I started relying on dedication rather than motivation, it made a HUGE difference in my ability to stick with a health plan. I look at it like going to work - some days I'd rather stay home and sleep and watch tv/eat a lot and don't exercise - but it's a part of my life and I realize that the…

While I'm at my desk I drink a LOT of tea and coffee (both black). It keeps me hydrated and I think the hot water takes longer to drink and helps me to feel fuller, so I can distinguish better between actual hunger pangs and thirst or just boredom. Some people recommend keeping snacks at their desk which are compatible…

I honestly cannot understand the push back toward properly educating children about nutrition. Why is the concept that school should teach practical concepts in a way that benefits people in their real lives so abhorrent? Yes we know that children have parents, but one look at the forums will show you that children's…

If you don't like them, don't make them. Eat whole fruits instead or something you enjoy. Why do you feel like you have to make smoothies?

I find it hilarious that you think any ecclesiastical court anywhere would annul a marriage because one party decided to become a vegetarian. I am almost positive that no court in any jurisdiction which grants fault-based divorces would even consider this scenario. Honestly, this is ridiculous.

Wow, if some little rude child called me a devil, the LEAST of what I would have said would have been "I don't care what she says". Which I think is perfectly reasonable to be honest. I don't see that as being mean and nasty at all. I don't like rude children (I don't know what "mouthy" means but it sounds like a mother's…

You don't want to eat, you want to camouflage your emotions. It's not food you want, it's a reprieve from the disappointment and pain you feel. I would 1) remind myself that binge eating while sad has never once in the history of ever made anyone actually feel better. All it does is distract you for a while, and then you…

Haha great NSV (non-scale victory). Keep up the great work!! :D

I'm glad it's helping, but it sounds a lot like binge-eating to me. Just make sure you keep on top of things...habits like that have a tendency to creep up on you and could spiral out of control if you're not really careful...what is PMS except a time when you feel bad and really want calorie-dense foods? What happens when…

It wasn't a complimentary compliment so don't feel guilty about feeling some type of way about it. It just means that he would ordinarily find someone like you unattractive, and is surprised that he doesn't in this case. If you were to date him, I'm sure there would be a lot more "socially awkward" comments coming your…
