Just Eat

People keep swearing by calorie counting but all its been for me is a waste of my time. I can think of tons of better, seemingly meaningless things I could have been doing all this time instead of looking at the back of a nutrition label, or logging in my food intake on this stupid site. Its gotten me nowhere.

The only time I want food is when I'm attempting to follow some dumb calorie counting. Since Sunday I've been eating what I want and in insane amounts but really I don't even have to. I don't care about food when I can have it. Calorie counting just creates this dumb obsession with food, only because it tells you what you can't have. So know I don't care anymore. and i think you people shouldn't either. this is all dum. its just food, gosh. its so stupid getting excited over something like "oh whoppe i passed up a sliver of cake today" or "oh gee goolly i had an exquisite 100 cal pack of donuts!!! made my day."

what a waste of life and sanity.

i lost 20 pds over 2 months only to gain half back in 2-3 days of overeating? thats dumb. this is dumb. notworth it at all. living and being normal is so much more benifical than knowing how many tenths of a gram of protein you recieve at each meal.

look i'm 18, and at a normal weight, and probably would still look a whole lot skinnier than you even on my "fattest" day.

You don't call that insulting????  You need to just grow up and move on if you don't lik eit here.

Maybe it's time you concentrated on the exercise part of the equation, to build and tone muscle,  and not so much about the calories?

well thats the thing. i've started exercising since the beginning of this month and have gained 5 pds. so its really not fair at all.

If you are at a healthy weight and skinnier than us on our fattest day, then why were you calorie counting to begin with??? You are insulting many people here and it is rude and disrespectful. Why dont you just nicely log off and go watch your movie k.

You don't call that insulting????  You need to just grow up and move on if you don't lik eit here.

ok sorry but that was in response to being told i was going to have a heart attack, which i find insulting.

Pinthin ~ This applies to everyone and not just you, but i just read both threads, and what I would mention is that this thread was not locked because of your approach to calorie-counting or trying to manage your wieght. 

It was locked because the whole thread turned into a bash fest and because post after post was either inflammatory or a personal attack... going both ways.  This thread darn near was locked for the same reason. 

Please, everyone, just a friendly reminder that a difference of opinion or debate is ok.  But please respectfully state your opinion so that we can have the discussion.  Inflammatory posts and attacks on other people will cause threads to be locked or deleted.

With your help, we can keep the forums a friendly and supportive, empathetic and caring environment where people can come to hash out weight management issues.
