I've read through the whole thread, and props to you, OP! Understanding and taking control of what we put into our bodies is one of the best things we can do for ourselves, so major kudos for taking this initiative.

Diet - the food we eat in general, not some sort of plan - and exercise go hand in hand for living a healthier lifestyle, so if you're coming off of being sedentary and eating a lot of these "classic desserts" as you call them, then I think it's a great idea to tie them together while you're transitioning into better habits. And depending on how you ate in the past, I wouldn't even be too concerned if you wanted to allow three days of classic desserts with a fourth contingent on activity to start.

And remember allowing yourself to have guilt-free classic desserts three or even four days out of the week doesn't mean that you must have them. Just don't feel bad if you do. I think that's the key to changing habits.

So, yeah, I think you're on the right track with this days of the week, thing. Because yeah, maybe with just the right portion size, you could mete out a "classic dessert" every day of the week and not be any worse off, but I find a lot of people have no clue what "the right portion size" is. And if they do, all the measuring and weighing and repackaging becomes a chore. And when things are chores, they can easily become resented. And once they're resented, it's really easy to chuck them out the window entirely.

* I am not a medical professional, I just really care about health.

This, pretty much.

Gee, thanks for implying we're all just morons who don't know that a platter-sized plate full of food is too much. Believe it or not, some us -- even some of us fatties -- know what an appropriate serving size is. And it's really not that fucking hard to portion out some snacks.

It takes 20 minutes and some baggies or reusable containers.

...I don't think that was being implied? And I think I'd rather spend 20 minutes working up a sweat than putting food in tiny containers.

Thank you for this comment. :)

And I really hear you on the "just because I can, doesn't mean I have to" thing. The food journal is helping me really take notice of what I do eat, but I also need to work on discipline and ask myself when it comes to things that maybe aren't best, just how badly I want it. That way if it's just a little craving that something else could fix (an apple with peanut butter instead of an apple pie, maybe) or if I'm just bored, I can make the best choice for me.
