I am going to eat this entire pot of KD

Post Reply New Topic

I've been so good for a while, so I'm going to eat it all. All 840 calories.
Thought you all would like to know that.

How many of you ladies diet? And how many of you worry about your weight consistently?
I'd like to know if I'm crazy or if everyone at least knows what I'm talking about.

Bon Appetite!

What's KD?

Kraft Dinner. In the US, it's called Kraft Mac and Cheese.

On that note.... I have eaten two whole pizzas once.

Is KD an accepted and well known abbreviation?

The battle I have currently is that I am always hungry. Food is always on my mind. Three years ago I promised my boyfriend I would lose 120 lbs. I managed 107... Can't seem to lose anymore. Doesn't matter how little I eat.

I am frustrated and broken. Of all my battles I face with communication - and all.. he gets me... loves me anyway... and I am going to lose him over a few pounds I can't manage to shed.

Go figure.

I went through a period where they swore I was anorexic in my teens... then I swung the other way and have not been the same since.

Whoa there, let me make sure I'm not misunderstanding this...do you mean you're simply afraid of losing him, or did he actually tell you he'd leave you if you didn't lose weight?

Anyway, back on topic: I am also dieting, and I've lost a fair amount of weight myself (though I'm far from done). The whole thing is easier for me when I can get very large amounts of protein and fiber with my meals, as this will prevent me from becoming hungry too soon.

Eat as much as you like, and eat six times a day. If you starve yourself you will lose muscle tissue and then you will not be able to burn food as efficiently, resulting on you putting on heaps more weight in fat.

If you eat plenty, you will have energy all day to build more muscle tissue.

Also, if you are obsessing about food you will not lose weight, and the obsession will destroy your mind and your pleasure in life.

I don't really want to be fat but I'm not going to deprive myself of food I enjoy or starve myself to get and stay thin.

When I was younger I was naturally thin but over the years my weight has been creeping up on me.

Absolutely do not feel down about this. As someone who grew up watching my mother struggle on many many diets to lose weight, I know that 107 pounds is an absolutely marvellous feat!
That said, if your boyfriend is that absolutely self centred that he sees you as someone who did not lose 120 pounds as opposed to someone who DID lose 107 then he probably should have his butt kicked to the curb. I'm sure that if he really gets you and loves you he will see things that way though.
Just a thought, and this may sound crazy, but have you ever tried replacing half of your water intake with non-sweetened green tea? It hydrates you better and its what I used to use when I would plateau on a couple of pounds that I wanted to use. Tea is soooooo good for your body and it's so yummy too!
I don't mean to be nosy or pry, especially coming from someone who just yammered on about eating a pot of carbohydrates, but it might help.

When you used to be a starving college student and its all you could afford and all you interact with normally are people that are like you then it becomes a very accepted abbreviation.

I am concerned about this as 107 pounds is a lot to lose. If YOU wanted to lose the weight and only made the promise to him as an extension of a promise to yourself and are still at a healthy weight after losing it then I say well done, bravo and good for you! If you felt pressured into making the promise or did so to keep him and/or are no longer a healthy weight please take care of yourself and talk to a doctor to make sure you are at a healthy weight.

I'm really jealous of you. KD is delicious. I'd eat it everyday, every meal, and never get sick of it.

I'm jealous too, because I can't eat gluten (sensitive) and I can't eat carbs (self-imposed because I gain weight when I do--really). Sigh... I can eat cheese though!

I tried dieting a lot and well it never worke dout just made me gain more Im afraid.

About seven months ago though I started to become more active rather than limit my food intake. Instead of me having to cut down on calories I just upped how many calories I burned. and I watched when I ate, I was notorious for being a late night snacker so instead of having a brownie or pb&j late at night Id munch on carrots or celery instead.

another way I helped myself loose weight, was eating no carbs after say 7pm.
I could have all I wanted for the most part before then, but seeing as I didnt need them when I was winding down at night I cut them out.

Granted I do splurge when say I want a piece of cake at 9:30 some nights but I dont go overboard like I used to.


Now that I have reached a plateau though I have started to cut things, like I am gradually getting rid of all soda from my life, and switching to tea and water. and I dont do dairy after a certain time either nowdays.


on the note of nomming on that much, my dream would be to just eat away at a giant pile of buffalo wings and fries, nom tastic.

I eat what I like and I have the weight to show for it. I'm quite physically active. I'm reasonable-looking and I don't mind being overweight. I like to have a good muscle tone because it makes me feel better.
