Fruit is killing me!
I'm on a 1200 calorie limit and I'm simply amazed at how one piece of fruit and almost completely wipe out my allotted amount of sugar. I tell myself there's "good" sugar and "bad" sugar --- but 21 grams of sugar in a pear?! Seriously? Any of you on 1200 calorie limits and cut out fruit entirely?

Demystifying the BMR
So I'm on the 1200 per day plan, and MFP says my BMR is 1290. Does that mean I can never eat over 1290 or I'll gain weight? How does exercise affect this?

Blew all my calories at breakfast. What's my next move?
Ugh, I ate a rather large breakfast and then someone brought in baked goods. Unless the calories estimates on MFP are way off, I just ate all of my daily calories before 10:30 am. Lessen to the kids out there... calories add up QUICK. Should I: 1) continue eating as if nothing happened 2) fast the rest of the day?

Fell off the wagon, why do I hesitate to get back on?
I don't think of this as a diet, but I definitely fell off the wagon this week -- no exercise, no food restraint -- and I questioned whether I should just give up because of how far I had set myself back. It's tough to see one month go by and no weight change. I don't understand why I'm so resistant to start up again, is…

Blew it with donuts!
Very frustrated about this... I don't even eat donuts! The only way I can truly express my disappointment is with a haiku. Glazed and Boston Creme, You just had to stare at me Until I ate you.
