Also Vietnamese food. Which I’m not kidding, I have to stop eating even when I need it brainwise because it makes me so fucking sick, but could someone else please eat one million spring rolls under the Tasty Food license? For me?

I ate ice cream AND pie AND Easter candy AND chicken fingers AND a milkshake AND a grilled cheese sandwich AND Thin Mints this weekend under the above license! This was a fucking banner weekend for me, since I normally can’t eat a lot of supposedly “bad” food (basically anything high in fat) due to stomach probs, but I just wanted it… you would not BELIEVE how hard I wanted a dinner of chicken fingers, fries, and a milkshake on Thursday night. I just want to say: if HAES were all about salads, I wouldn’t have eaten that stuff. If it were all about feeling physically well, I wouldn’t have eaten it (because of stomachaches). But it was basically all emotional eating. And you know what? It worked — I felt better (especially since it followed a period of emotional NOT-eating, so I really needed to replenish). And that’s awesome.

O, thanks! You know, I ate some unlicensed ice cream this weekend – but now, I have me a license! Y’all are Teh Awesome. And, yeah, as to the rest of it – what she said. As always.

sarawr, nah, I totally didn’t think you were serious, but I wanted to make sure you knew that you could have your very own license too.

Unless you can’t fit your name on it. Annie, how small do you have the font? If your name is really long, maybe you can abbreviate your first name (e.g. “Thos” for “Thomas”)?

The dieter in me went ‘ooh’ when I read this article because I’m a varisty athlete who can’t drop those ‘unnatural’ pounds. However, the shapeling inside told the dieter to stfu. I will *always* have a stomach pouch. The fact doesn’t matter that I can’t grab an inch of fat on my stomach. I have a pouch. The only time it went away was when I was starving myself. I do feel for people in this position, and I can see why this is SO tempting to athletes who don’t get that ‘perfect’ body, even after all their dedication makes them fast and strong in both body and mind.

(sorry i always double post)

when i said “treats” i should’ve specified – sweet things, like candy or cookies or ice cream. cuz a “treat” is really ANYthing someone finds enjoyable, which could be broccoli or a bubble bath or a brisk walk or whatever.

lillian64 – when you say “one should love their body and treat ourselves ice cream occasionally” because you find it more enjoyable, it kinda bugs me.

You see, the whole point is there is no “should”. I mean, if YOU enjoy treats only occasionally then you do that, do whatever you want. But you say “one should…” it means that’s what you think people in general should do. I eat treats every fucking day, usually twice a day and nice big portions, and that’s what’s right for me.

(And also to all of you who discussed this – I agree that muffin tops (and bra fat) can sometimes appear no matter what we do, for some of us, but who cares really.)

Excellent, fillyjonk. And I hope you don’t think I was serious about the elitist thing, because… no. I wasn’t. I love that certificate, and the blank one is just icing on the, um, ice cream.

I can’t fit my name into the license on paint – how do I do it?
