Hahaha! Particle_Woman, that's great! XD

I will have to get my hands on some lemon and cayenne powder! I have been having areally difficult time sticking to my calorie budget.

Sounds like an interesting idea! I'm glad to see someone taking something which is a part of something so unhealthy and making it into a healthy and helpful convention! Good for you!

chili, great northern beans, 15 bean soup... any soup or chowder really!

and at work I sip herbal tea all day. (I don't do caffiene)

 Mmm... chili. My Papa has the best recipe for Vichyssoise. I'll get it from him and post it up here. It would be heavenly on a day like today(it's been heavily raining all daay :D!!!!).

The best advice I can give is to look in to vegan oatmeal cookies. 

There are egg-replacers, milk replacers, and then you can use oats and whole wheat flour to make the cookies more healthy.

As for the sugar, I would look for a recipe that uses both sugar and applesauce, or both sugar and stevia, or both sugar and agave. The thing is about sugar is that it does more than rot teeth and have 1231234235424 calories per tablespoon *grumbles about having to give sugar up when I have my morning tea*, it also has the perfect chemicals that, when mixed with eggs (or egg-substitute) and milk (or a non-dairy milk) and the flour and whatnot, it makes that great cookie texture. But! It's okay to have a cookie with just half the sugar (It's also perfectly alright to have a cookie with all the sugar in moderation). Most of the vegan recipes you will find will not have much sugar in them anyway(about 1/4 cup on average).

I would not recommend using splenda. I do not know if that is something which you do use, but I suggest staying away from it. It's pretty bad for people... and well, it's also not as delicious as sugar or stevia and the chemical properties of it tend to make it out to also be a cookie-ruiner.

Here are some recipes I found:

 http://www.happycow.net/recipes.php?id=114 

I think that they will have similar calorie content to that of other cookies, but they will be healthier, definitely.

Oh, one more thing, I saw that you said that broccoli doesn't belong in cookies. Vegetables if anything will add bulk to a cookie which, of course, suggests that there will be more cookie for less calories. If you TASTE broccoli in a cookie, that is something totally different. But if you cannot taste the veggies, then why not give it a shot? It will definitely make it a healthier cookie! XD

Best wishes for you on your cookie quest!

I think Monday is the 7th circle of Hell

 What's up with the first 6 circles?  Nobody ever talks about them.

 Well, there are actual 9 in Dante's Inferno:

1st Circle: Unbaptized people and pagans
2nd Circle: Those who are overcome with lust/the need to have sex 24/7/365
3rd Circle: Gluttons/people who eat 24/7/365
4th Circle: Those who spend a **** load of money on **** they don't need
5th Circle: The ones consumed with rage fight on the surface of the River Styx (greek mythology) and the slothful/ones who are lazy lie beneath the water
6th Circle: Heretics
7th Circle: The violent; the 7th Circle has 3 inner Circles
The Outermost Circle: Those who are violent against property and inanimate objects
The Middle Circle: Suicides
The Innermost Circle: Those who are violent against God, nature, and/or art
8th Circle: Frauds (seducers, flatterers, those who exchange money for spiritual goods, sorcerers/false prophets, corrupt politicians, hypocrites, thieves, sowers of discord, etc.)
9th Circle: Those who betray one who is close to them (i.e. a close/best friend, a relative, a lover)

And I think Monday fits best in Circle 7 because it is the most violent of all days.

 Is there something like a EuroRail pass that I can get that will allow unlimited travel between numbers 2 and 3?

XD!

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a reminder to you all that you should save your work every few minutes.  Unfortunately, I had to make an example of your friend Free Balls.  He lost two hours of work because he forgot how cruel and vindictive I can be.  I don't care how tech savvy you are and I don't care how much effort you put into your beautiful screenshots.  I do not discriminate.  When you least expect it, I will punish and you will cry.  MS Office might have your back, but I will punish all other applications if you do not save.  You have been warned.

Sincerely,

Power Outages

Hugs<3

Hmph.  Fjords are overrated.

 In this replacement Earth we're building they've given me Africa to do and of course I'm doing it with all fjords again because I happen to like them, and I'm old fashioned enough to think that they give a lovely baroque feel to a continent.

>XD! Baroque feel indeed! Where can you sign up for countries? Dibs on Japan and Korea.

XD

You guys ought to publish novels! I can see it on bookshelves now: "A Chat in the Daily Lives of People Who Frequent CC Threads"

I would buy it <3

Great idea!

And what a kind act you got to do.

Congratulations!

gi-jane: Appreciating th meal is one of the things that truly helps keep me from over-eating. I try (though forget again and again, hehehe!) to smell my food, describe to myself the texture of the food and what it looks like. This is a really good tip and definitely one I need (apparently many) reminders. Thank you! > U < Your posts are always great~!

jcl76: Thank you so much for your sympathy and kindness. I really felt your heart in your post.

I live at a University and my main food source is the cafeteria so I get this "if I don't eat all I can now, then I will get hungry again" feeling. I suppose I have molded hunger into being this fearful thing. How strange the topic and subtopics of food can be sometimes. 

I like eating normal portions, though. I am still trying to figure out how to eat a serving size amount of food and be happy with that. Then, also dealing with the strangeness of hunger and figuring out how to have snacks so that I don't get too hungry.

Thank you so much for your supportive words, they were very warmly meant and I felt it.:) I will try my best to implement your advice!

Hahaha! Poor cows. That's a lot of work!

I really want to eat something that is more than a bit of fibre and water- however, I also want to stick to my calorie budget today. I am planning on having a 300 kilo-calorie dinner, though. Soup, salad, and probably a piece of chocolate or something like that. 

This is a pretty abnormal eating day for me- usually I am much more moderate at breakfast and have three well-balanced meals.

Sigh... I'll most likely end up having a normal 300 calorie lunch and likewise dinner, as you suggested, though. Hahaha!

Thank you! ( > W <)/

Yes, this is wise.  I should really be understanding that my reward IS taking care of myself, not being a glutton!  My reward on Saturday is a hike in the woods with friends and going out for lunch, not snacking on wings and beers late at night with a couple people.  My reward is being healthy and happy and getting up on Sunday feeling good, not a temporary high followed by feeling crummy!!  Thanks! xxx

No problem =) <3333

iTunes has it, but if you don't have or want iTunes I'm pretty sure that there are other podcast websites out there that have it. Though, iTunes can be pretty handy and you don't have to have an iPod to get it. =)

Thank you so much.

I cried reading this.

I loved it so much and I really needed the truths that it said.

Thank you.

Thank you!! This completely clarifies why people are promoting even the moderate use of sugar on here. I will be careful not to develop that sort of complex.

Thank you so shuper much~~! o U o /~
