it looks like gerb and loco are correct and you physically addicted to fast food. multiple people here have explained what you should be eating and you cant resist yourself from going to mcdonalds. at least yesterday when you realized you were out of eggs, you had yogurt. but then when you were out of yogurt, straight to mcdonalds.

next time u get your eggs and yogurt, get something in bulk that doesn't expire like protein bars, quest bars, granola bars so there is always a backup. options in order should be eggs/ommelette--> greek yogurt or oatmeal-->fruit, protein bar, granola bar.
Even if little MLYLT decides to play one of her famous pranks and smashes all your eggs, pours dishsoap on your oatmeal and yogurt and lights your stash of granola bars on fire, YOU STILL DO NOT HAVE AN EXCUSE TO GO TO MCDONALDS. just stop at a grocery store or 7-11 and get yogurt, fruit, granola bar.

I would just embrace the fast food addiction and try to turn myself into the most obese person ever. Why bother starving yourself a lot of the time when you can't help yourself from eating garbage and undo it anyway.

Granola bars are awful also. Please stop recommending that before I blow a gasket. I can't take this thread anymore. Self ban for a few weeks, it's bad for my health.

You are who you hang out with. And this thread is killing my momentum.

Compared to what she's eating, a granola bar for breakfast would be a colossal step in the right direction and a perfectly reasonable backup plan considering her problems maintaining any routine requiring prep time or frequent grocery shopping.

lol I get granola bars aren't good for you. I recommended she eat about 10 other things before I mentioned that as a last resort. the point was to have something non-perishable around for emergency cases when she's out of eggs, yogurt, oatmeal, fruit. obviously quest bars or protein bars would be best, but even a granola bar at a couple hundred calories would be better than a 1200 calorie mcdonalds breakfast

Eggs have a refrigerator shelf life of weeks and even beyond the printed date. There's no excuse for running out of eggs if you plan to eat them ~daily.

Don't you understand they had Big Breakfast!?

So would a KitKat bar. Why don't you tell her to have a KitKat bar for breakfast instead of 1000 calories of McDonald's?

kickcat bar*

Given that she is incapable of stringing together more than one good decision at a time, yes the candy bar/granola bar (same, same) is a better choice.

She can't even go a day or two without going to McDonald's. Then, despite making that bad decision, she piles on another one and chooses poorly with her food. Then, despite making two awful decisions, she makes a third and puts additional kcal and sugar on the sandwich. At least she doesn't have Coke with it I guess.

So yes, if the option is a kickcat bar or 1000kcal of McDonald's, the former is obviously better (for weight loss). She could actually be ahead by eating 3 candy bars instead of what she currently does.

You already know that. You've also worked with her and she refuses to heed your (or anyone's) advice, so we're all just kinda talking in circles here...

Guys, I. Going to get back on track. I'm really motivated today and I'm going to the gym to burn off some of that McDonald's. I'm also going grocery shopping tonight. I do not want to let myself be sucked back into my old fatty lifestyle where I eat fast food 3x a day and go home and stare at the walls trapped in a comotosed depressed state and not enjoying anything in life.

Gimme a break

M,

Have you made an appointment with a therapist yet?

I called and left messages last week and today. I'm trying and I will get in as soon as possible.

MLYLT - Let's try this. Instead of posting what you are going to do, post what you have done. You seem to mentally reward yourself for making decisions to do things (which may or may not happen) when you should be rewarding yourself for actually doing those things.

Sounds like a good plan.

you're missing the point but basically what G4S and ungoliant said. she should be eating things like eggs, greek yogurt, oatmeal, fruit for breakfast but because she somehow often runs out of these things having a non perishable backup plan is a good idea. maybe I should have been more clear that quest bars/protein bars would be a much better option than granola bars. the only reason I mention them is I can see the excuses now. "i was out of z, y and , z. I didn't have time to go the grocery store so I stopped at a gas station and they don't have quest bars or protein bars in bumfack texas, so I went to mcdonalds and ate 1,200 calories". no. even in that rare circumstance eating a granola bar or yes even a kitkcat would be a better choice. eating 1,200 calories of mcd's for breakfast pretty much gurantees she's going over her calories for the day while a 2-300 calorie granola bar does not.

It's dumb, dude. It's the equivalent of telling her to go to the gas station and telling her to eat 1 donut for breakfast instead of 1000 calories of McDonald's.

It's all simple carbs, it's not filling, and yes fatties will eat a whole box of granola bars that taste like candy bars.

Top10 dumbest suggestion in this thread. But not number1, that's reserved for a certain orange.

Hey loco I am curious but are you ever this hard on MLYLT as you are with people giving her "dumb" advice?

This is correct. She's addicted to sugar, it's really easy for fatties to house a box of granola bars as a snack between breakfast and lunch. Encouraging her to eat "better sugar" isn't really going to be productive.

No.

She has lots of issues, I don't need to pile on.


Okay break time, stop bothering me people.

lol ok man. just because none of these things are healthy doesn't mean some are better options than others.

granola bar>KitKat/donut>1200 calorie mcdonalds MLYLT super breakfast

a lot depends too on what type of granola bar, there are some out there with like 120 calories and under 10 grams of sugar. maybe if you just remove granola bar from my post you can get past that and see the point. planning to eat eggs, yogurt, oatmeal with quest bars/protein bars as emergency backups is good advice

Hm what's this again? I thought the #1 spot was the guy who thought she should go from a 4 egg breakfast to a 2 egg breakfast. That was pretty impressive.

Being "hard" on someone doesn't necessarily mean piling on, you can just talk to her like an adult and straight up ask her if she is serious about this.

Two Quaker chewy granola bars and a banana and a bottle of water is about 300 calories, but get incredibly mad about it and throw a tantrum.
