I agree fully with Lynne on society's degrading fat people. I have been on the receiving end (overhearing comments about look at the woman stuffing the ice cream/candy bar/dessert into her mouth). I hurts. Especially when the one type that they were rather obvious and loud was when I felt like having an ice cream cone (single scoop rather than the wanted double or triple) as a small treat after a month of very healthy eating, good exercise and a scale showing a 10 pound loss. What was really agravating was that she was pointing it out to her child while the two of them were also "stuffing ice cream" into their mouths. She felt that it was ok for them to have an ice cream treat on a hot summer day, but that I shouldn't be allowed the same thing. I figure that if I eat right at least 5-6 days a week, let alone a whole month, I should be allowed to have the right to eat an occasional ice cream, piece of cake or pie, a cookie or two, or a candy bar on day 7 or 30. Eating healthy doesn't mean cut it out all together, that just leads to binging. It means "in moderation." Having dessert or a sweet or a handfull of chips once every week or two will not harm you, it won't even mess up with weight loss if it is a small treat. If you deny unhealthy foods all the time it just leads to overeating them when you finally do give in to them. And you will give in to them at some point. People like that woman and her kid kind of re-enforce the what the hell, it doesn't matter what I do people are against me anyway, I might as well forget about this whole healthy eating thing and eat what I want when I want.
