I don't know what attitudes toward food you have harbored in the past, but TBH, I'm a little alarmed at how many restrictions you seem to be imposing on yourself. One chocolate-dipped Ritz cracker is okay, but three count as dessert, so if you had ice cream at Sunday dinner, that means you can't have dessert again that week unless you've been to the gym three times...I mean, if you can live with it in the long term, fine, but it seems excessively punitive to me. Also, the distinction between "dessert" and "fresh fruit" seems unnecessary. Sometimes fresh fruit is dessert--exactly the dessert you want. And what if you have a bowl of berries with a spoonful of vanilla ice cream, or a pear and a couple of gingersnaps, or an apple sliced thin and sauteed in butter with a shaking of cinnamon and some walnuts on top--what are those?

...Don't know what they are, but I'm gonna make that apple thing some time! Thanks, anon. :)

Sorry, I guess I just did a really bad job explaining in that post:

Also, the distinction between "dessert" and "fresh fruit" seems unnecessary. Sometimes fresh fruit is dessert
This is exactly the point I was trying to make. Those classic dessert items, like cake, cookies, ice cream etc., are items that I think need some sort of limit. So, if I want dessert but I'm past my allottment on those items, it's encouragement to consider fresh fruit instead.

As for the one Ritz cracker, those things are super satisfying, and the times I've had one after my sandwich...that was all I wanted, and I didn't feel like I was ingesting a ton of sugar and fat and calories. But on those ocassions where I DID really want three or four or five, and I'm getting quite a bit more sugar, fat and calories out of them...it doesn't seem out of line to make that one of my "classic dessert" items?

Okay, that's understandable. I guess, when I place something off limits, that makes it ten times more desirable. So if I say to myself "you had a brownie with lunch the day before yesterday, and today you ate a whole bar of chocolate, so No Dessert For You, self--you can have fruit"--suddenly, all at once, eating fruit seems like a punishment. Even if I picked out the pears and grapes Sunday night at the supermarket because they looked so nice that I wanted them right away, and could hardly wait for the pears to get ripe so I could eat them.

If that makes sense.

"apple sliced thin and sauteed in butter with a shaking of cinnamon and some walnuts on top--what are those?"

Deadly? Many people have walnut allergies. Not the point I know, but it was just the first thing to pop in my head.

do you want a tw?

Nope.

TBH, I'm still wondering why you saw fit to bring it up.

Conversation? TBH, I'm still wondering why you give a shit.

I could ask the same of you.

You...could ask why I give a shit about conversation? Because that seems pretty obvious. You're the one who seems offended or something.
