Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Well, you know, where's the challenge in the "Eat Better and Exercise" plan?
My work-wife (okay, work-'sband) would go through these phases where he'd skip breakfast to lose weight. So he'd be pissy until he carbo-loaded at noon. Whenever I tried to explain the basic principles he be all "No, that can't be. Just not eating should do it, so I'm skipping breakfast!"
Of course, I seem to be having a problem with the eating-right-and-exercising thing at the moment myself.

Me, too. I'm thinking cutting out the half-pint of whipping cream that I put in my morning quart of coffee will help fairly dramatically, though.

Iiiiik! You kill the coffee!

My dad is like that. He truly believes that eating as little as possible is the only way to lose weight. He's a 160-lb man, and he thinks 1200 calories/day might be too much for him. I've tried to explain the whole thing where if you don't eat enough, your body thinks it's starving (because, you know, IT IS), and therefore hangs onto every last calorie. And the part where you need to fuel your body so that it can continue to, you know, EXIST.
Fortunately his willpower is weaker than the grip with which he clings to his insane notions, and he eats way more than 1200 calories/day. He has one hell of a sweet tooth.
Ignoring all the healthy eating talk for a moment
I just discovered that a) today is ice cream day here, and b) they had the ice cream shipped in from Graeters.
Mebbe I'll look at Fitday tomorrow.

WOOT!!!! What flavors??? Eat the chip flavors. And then move on to the non-chip flavors. Eat it all. Especially if they included pumpkin.

Nah, just turns it into a cafe au lait.
You know what I discovered once? Putting cream in your coffee is one thing, and milk entirely another. Cream has a sell-by date like, months later than when you buy it; milk lives for ten days and then curdles your coffee. Surprise!
For the slacktivist among us, cream is a defense against death by curdled milk.

I only got to peek for a second, but I know they have black raspberry chip.
Want the pumpkin though too.
I'm not even about it being healthy. I'm about knowing what it is you're putting in your mouth, not just guessing, if you have a goal.
I eat like crap, but certain sorts of crap. Crap aligned with my goals crap, or crap that I know is going against what I want to achieve. But that's because I know a simple from a complex carb, and the like.
