Ok... time for a laugh and for confession!

I hereby confess to 'licking the plate' cos Ive counted the calories and Im gonna have them



I also confess to boring anyone, anywhere, with or without handcuffs and a gag, with nutritional information I am SURE, absolutely positive they want to know

Is it just me or anyone else out there got a 'confession'???????

I judge people who eat primarily processed food. Harshly.

Champ... my smile for the day. Thank you.

Just the other day I thought of licking the plate just for that reason!! LOL

I sometimes don't count the junk I eat (like today I had heaping spoonful of Nutella with a boatload of marshmellows but didn't put it in my food diary--like somehow you people are going to scold me because I always post in the forums that we should never eating that junk! Do as I say, not as I do

You ate WHAT!!!! Bad girl ....... rolls around floor laughing.............

Oh dear......... I just wondered how many calories that burnt

Now, come on people...licking the plate clean is just common sense (ok, as long as you aren't at the family dinner table) .

I confess to putting fly spray on any left over junk food I throw in the bin (<- and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has to do that).

I've done that more than once. Though never at the dinner table...

hehe That's funny!!!

... I was being helpful washing the dishes
I swear

Okay... a confession involving the dishes. We put a plate on the floor for our pooch to lick off and kid that she's doing the dishes and all we have to do is put it back in the cupboard. Hoping I didn't overly gross out anyone about the dog.

Here's your argument against licking the plate. The calories that you counted and didn't consume (e.g. the ones that are left on the plate, or in the serving bowl) can be used to offset small things that you eat but don't count.

For example, maybe once or twice a week I grab 1-3 M&Ms out of the jar in the office. A single M&M has around three calories, so I figure I'm sneaking in 5-10 calories when I do this. Those are offset by the egg yolk that's left on my breakfast plate, the yogurt that didn't come out of the carton, and the salad dressing that's left in the bottom of the bowl.

Sneaking in 5-10 calories once or twice a week is no big deal... our measurements aren't that precise anyway. However, if you know that you're leaving food behind then you can feel righteous and justified about those small bites.

But Hoser, the calories we don't count WE DON'T COUNT, so in essence, we didn't eat them

Hahaha I think the same thing because I never drink the milk that's left over from my bowl of cereal! Calories that I didn't use so that extra "whatever" is justified lol.
