The Lounge Pawning off unhealthy food on your family... selfish? May 20 2008
01:38 (UTC)
i confess......

i pawn my junk food off on my bro alllllll the time, he's 20, super skinny and eats whatever he wants....i even put cookies and chips into his bookbag when we was leaving for college so they wouldn't be home and be a temptation for me......lol

also - i sorta do this at work with my co-workers....the other 2 girls in my dep't and i are all eating healthy and dieting so when we have "socials" we always skip the cake and cut extra big slices for other departments.....i guess it's sneaky, it makes us laugh....they don't have to eat it, but they always end up eating it

Another good crystal light drink is Watermelon Vodka with Crystal Light Lemonade!!! I drank soooo many of them in college that i can't drink crystal light lemonade anymore because i still taste alcohol in it, even when i don't put any in lol

One trick i used at school was to put one shot in a water bottle then fill the rest of the large water bottle with lemonade....that way people still think you're drinking but with wayyyy less calories....then once the others are drunk they won't notice what you're doing haha

also - i plan on being the DD this friday....im hoping it works, so i dont have to waste calories....i'm on a roll and don't want this to be the end of it

i binged today....and yesterday....but i did so because i've been sick and i feel like rewarding myself because i dont feel good....ughh hopefully i'll feel better soon so i can get back to eating healthy

question....I've had a cold the past couple of days, but i've been able to do a little bit of exercising, followed by napping and laying around in bed....should i lower my calorie intake because i'm inactive, or should i keep it around my usual active intake....do i need the same amount of calories because my body is fighting the cold? or am i just trying to make excuses for myself to eat more?

when i have people over my appartment to drink....i will mix watermelon vodka with lemonade crystal light....and sometimes i will put it in a water bottle....sooo, if im really motivated i might put 1-1.5 shots in the large water bottle and fill the rest with crystal light and a little water....when i drink out of that no one notice's how much i'm drinking and they're getting drunk at the same time....when i go out to bars I usually drink light beer...1-because there's about 100 calories per beer and 2-i don't really like the taste of beer and it makes me drink slower and less beers in total :)

i tried walking through the baby food section when i was at the food store the other day....but i kept feeling like people were staring at me....i'm only 21 years old, and dont have a child...i dont know if it was just in my mind....but i was kind of afraid i would see someone i knew while i was in the aisle....so i just tried to take quick peeks as i walked by and didn't end up getting anything

I know exactly how you feel!!! I am 5'7" and was 130 in high school and now im a senior in college and weigh 160 now (ive lost 5 lbs so far from cc)....it's all the drinking and late night junk food runs, and always having junk food around school....i've been trying to be really good now, but its hard when my roommates still eat junk and i want to enjoy my senior year before its over by going out and having a good time

i dont think the chocolate icing was a binge.....if it fit into your calorie goal, then you're fine....i plan ahead when i want to eat chocolate and things like that....for example, on fat tuesday i bought one of those betty crocker's warm delights brownies, and i'm going to eat a little light that day so I can eat that for dessert because im giving up chocolate for lent....so as long as its reasonable, its not binging

how many calories is a normal slice of pizza? for example, I order a large cheese pizza, how much is one slice? i tried looking it up, but I can't seem to find what i'm looking for....also - if i ordered a regular pizza with no cheese, just sauce and dough how many calories is that? (i can just add the calories for the veggies) but i wanted to know how much the dough and sauce are typically.

i definitely understand what everyone is talking about....everyone weekend i get so nervous that i'm going to be put into a situation that i won't be able to control what i eat...i'm still in college, where junk food and alcohol is prevalent....which is probably why i put on a few extra pounds....i want to be able to enjoy the weekend and not be so nervous about binging....last friday i was good, i made crystal light lemonade and measured the amount of shots i put into my drink and told myself i can only have three and not to eat the food....i figured with everyone else drink and me still drinking something no one will notice....it worked that day, but then on saturday i ended up eating pizza for dinner followed by 6 beers :/ I think if we keep everyone motivated we can stop these binges and finally lose the weight we all want soooo badly!!!!
