Had a twix bar

BipolarPrincess

I worked out at the ym today and on the wii and had a twix bar that I bought for myself last week. I was in the bookstore shopping for a butterfinger reward for my daughter if she helps me clean this week and found the rare and elusive peanut butter twix. In the stores around where I live they only sell the caramel twix so when I spotted one I grabbed one. Well the hubby just told me that I defeated the purpose in all my working out today because I had one candy bar. Can you believe that. He made me feel bad. I ate at the Chinese buffet today and ate healthy so I don't understand why I have to cut out my candy. It's not like I eat a candy bar every day or something. I am addicted to chocolate and soda and he knows this. I have two vices anything chocolate and caffeine free pepsi. Do I have to cut out all of my bad habits just to loose weight? Why are there skinny people out there that can eat candy and I can't? I just don't understand.

I live by the motto 'Anything in moderation'

I guess maybe he meant that you hadn't burned as many calories as are in the Twix??? Personally, I think candy is good for the soul. There are so many depressing things in life. Let us have one good thing. Mine is reeses peanut butter cups. Hope you feel better soon

Some people get by with a moderate diet and some people have to cut out all their bad habits if they want to maintain a healthy weight. People are different. Some go diabetic and some don't. Some stay skinny and some gain. You are you and have to take the steps necessary to achieve your goals.

it all depends on what your enemy is. if your body cant digest carbs a candy bar can be bad for you. some people find the south beach and atkins diets work for them, others it doesnt. it all depends on the individual. some people can get by with eating anything in moderation and exercise 30 minutes a day and still lose weight or maintain, others it takes strict calorie watching and extensive exercise. learn your bodies needs and share the results with hubby

According to Weight Watchers, we can have anything in moderation. I had a godiva truffle as my treat today, knowing I'll be exercising this afternoon. As long as you're eating healthy otherwise, there's no reason why you shouldn't enjoy a treat every so often. To deny yourself only ends in binge eating. So have that Trix Bar! And get back to your healthy eating and exercising as you've done before. You have absolutely nothing to feel bad about!!!

Princess, you might find this article interesting. Chinese food has huge amounts of MSG in it which increases cravings and the amount of insulin the pancreas creates. Just a thought that your overall diet may be more unhealthy than you believe and the candy bar is the least of your problems.

If you eat half the amount of food you really want at each meal, dont eat in between meals, and exercise, you will loose weight. I am not sure what your idea of "eating healthy" is but your examples from the past are not healthy choices. The only way to loose weight, is to get very serious about it and I think that is basically what your husband is trying to say. Less calories in, more calories out.

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
