any particular reason you believe you can't have carbs at dinner or past 8 pm? Are you like a Gremlin and will turn into a green slimy beast if you eat carbs after 8? Your body doesn't know the clock.

I hate that I ever bought into that whole "don't eat past 7pm" thing. That's when I want to eat the most, so now I just eat small snacks and meals during the day and chow down (sensibly) at nite. The more I can keep my new diet like my old one the easier it will be for me to stick to it.

Okay, first off the sarcasim is uncalled for...
But I prefer to not eat too close to when I got to bed (for obvious reasons that I hope I don't need to get into). And since I have to be up by 6:45am during the week, I try to be in bed by 10-11pm.

HA...no, it isn't. If it wasn't for sarcasm, life would be completely untolerable.

Yeah, it's definitely the most annoying shit in the world. There is absolutely nothing more annoying than well placed sarcasm and trying to make somebody laugh. I mean, what kind of terrible people would try to spread a little humor around and try to make people smile? What kind of monster would try and do such a thing? Making people smile? Sick. Just sick.

Sorry it you was offended by the humor. I was curious as to why you didn't want to eat any carbs after a certain time. I'm still wondering since you didn't actually say but hey, you answered so that is that. Keep up the good work.

Please do me a favor and just leave my post. You are doing way too much right now...

The reason why I'm choosing not to eat after a certain time is b/c I'm basing it on the time I go to sleep. I want to give myself at least 2-3 hours between the time I have my last meal and the time I go to sleep. Since during the week I go to sleep between 10 and 11 pm, I don't want to eat after 7 or 8 pm. This is b/c, from experience, when I go to sleep full and "saturated" I wake up feeling the same way. And those excess calories (b/c by 7 or 8 pm I have already had enough calories for the day so anything I consume post that would be too much) won't get digested thoroughly as for me to wake up and be hungry enough to consume a healthy breakfast; I'll wake up feeling bloating and retaining a lot of water weight; and just all in all feel like shit (<--for lack of a better term). So that's why..

HAHAHA, wwwwwhat? What exactly am I doing? Besides displaying a sense of humor, what exactly am I doing? I think you need to relax a little bit and get yourself a sense of humor. No offense, but you seem like you're very tightly wound and I think you need to loosen up a little.
Your original post was basically just a few paragraphs of venting some of your frustration, but now you've managed to create some sort of problem out of nothing. From reading your first post, you clearly realized that trying to eat at specific times throughout the day is just not a reasonable thing to do. But, now it seems as if you have lost all sense of that realization.
I don't understand what the problem is here. Not just with the lack of humor that you display, but with how you eat. This "problem" of yours has already been addressed, so I just don't understand what all of this frustration is about. Just eat when you're hungry. And, if you get hungry when you're at school or at work, just be sure to take a snack with you. It's seriously not a hard thing to do and, even though you're trying to make it one, it's not a problem at all.
I don't know what you're expecting somebody to say, but you'll probably be waiting for a while if you don't take a step back and realize how easily this problem of yours can be solved. I'm a very straight forward person (I don't bullshit people or beat around the bush) - I just tell them how it is. And, this problem of yours is no big deal. Like I said, eat when you're hungry and take some snacks with you when you leave the house. That's it. End of story.

I'm already doing that, thank you. And if you took the time to read what others replied, you'd see i'm not the only one who feels that way. I'm reinventing my eating habits b/c my old way wasnt working for me. This is a weight-loss forum, right? That's the kind of things you come on here and express, duh!
If you don't have anything to say to me but your pointless sarcasm, then why are you even on this post? I never asked for people's opinions (tho I left it open if somebody wanted to comment, which several did and I appreciate that), and nor did I ask any questions, so if you're trying to give me your two sense about what YOU think I should do, I didn't ask for it! I already said I was going to eat whenever I'm hungry (as long as it's before 7 or 8pm), so you telling me to do that all over again is not exactly helping me out. It just shows that you didn't come onto this post to read and comment and be of some relevance to me, but just to be abrasive.
And i'm perfectly fine over here, not uptight, not nothing. But there is a time and place for everything--and the way you're acting, I mean, what the hell are you getting out of it? Are you really that bored or something? Just chill out. I was expressing myself about my weight-loss efforts on a weight-loss board. I mean, am I doing something wrong here??

I think something you'd better realize quickly is that when you post anything on a DISCUSSION BOARD, then you are by default asking to DISCUSS what you posted.
That's the point of a DISCUSSION BOARD.
You've had several threads now where you've posted something and then gotten pissed beyond anything reasonable that someone has responded to you and even *gasp* disagreed with you. You've gotten angry, pissy, rude, told people you weren't asking for a response, and even demanded that some people leave "your thread".
All of that is a completely unreasonable response. If you post on a board that is open to the general public, then you're inviting DISCUSSION. That's the plain fact of it. If you don't like the way the thread is going or the advice is no longer useful to you, then move on. A useful phrase for you might be "Thanks for taking the time to post everyone. I think I've gotten what I need from the thread." and then don't come back. No one is forcing you to read the thread and you don't really have any "ownership" of it other than being the thread starter.
It would be like going to a party, starting a conversation with someone, having a few other people join in, and then pitching a fit because "your" conversation is going a way that you don't like any more and demanding that people stop talking in YOUR conversation *footstamp*.
If you don't want discussion, debate, possibly disagreement on what you post, then start a blog for yourself and close comments. That way it's *your* place and you can say whatever you want and control what people say back.
I'm not saying this to be pissy or mean or rude. I'm saying it factually. If you don't like the dynamics of message boards, which means that anyone can jump in and say anything they want as long as it adheres to the rules of the board, then you might want to reconsider your participation on them.

I'm well aware that you're not the only one who feels that way. I've read what others have replied with and I've also read what you have posted as well. And, from what I see, you don't have a problem. You may want to act as if you do, but anyone with common sense would know that you don't have a problem.
First of all, you did ask for people's opinions. At the end of your original post, you said...
I just had to get that out. Anybody who took the time to read all that mumbo-jumbo, thank you!
Feel free to comment if you choose!
Well, I chose to comment. So, what's your problem? Just because I'm not laying sympathy all over you and acting as if your world is in dire straits, it doesn't mean that what I said to you wasn't helpful. Like I said, I don't pussyfoot around the issue; I attack it straight on. And, since most people are afraid to be honest about things, I chose to comment on your "problem" with a little bit of genuine honesty. I don't tell people what they want to hear; I tell people what they need to hear. And, you need to hear that your problem isn't much of a problem at all. In fact, it's kind of silly and I'm willing to bet that most people who are reading this are in 100% agreement with me. It's just that most people are too timid to be honest, especially when it involves having to tell someone that they need to grow up a little bit.
Secondly, as Kara said, this is a public internet forum. And, if you knew anything about how forums work, you would realize that 100% of the time, you are going to get bombarded with opinions from all sorts of people that you don't even know. And, if you're not adult enough to deal with criticism or opinions from other people, then maybe you shouldn't log onto the internet where criticism and opinions make their home.
Why are you acting as if using sarcasm or humor is like bringing up the death of your first born child? It's not all that serious of an issue, so I don't understand why you think it is. Wah, someone didn't take life overly-serious for a moment and they made a joke, waaaaah.
It's called a sense of humor and I would recommend going out and getting one. They're quite popular.You are telling me that I should read through what you (and others) have said before I comment, well, swallow a little of your own advice for once and have a look at my posts before you come to any judgment about me. 99% of them are full of sarcasm and humor. And, right along with all of those laughs, comes a healthy does of reality, advice, support and comfort. I make a lot of jokes, but (and not to sound egotistical) I also help a lot of people.
Just because I don't sit here with an "Aww, poor baby" type of attitude doesn't mean that I'm not trying to help. And, just because I make a lot of jokes doesn't mean that I don't take things seriously and it certainly doesn't mean that I don't care.
So, what do I get out of it? I get to help people. I also get to vent, share stories, give and get advice, crack some jokes, make people smile, etc. And, to use your own words, "I mean, am I doing something wrong here?"
And, no...you're not doing anything wrong. But, you certainly have a lot of growing up to do.
...apparently not.

Let me make myself clear. I didn't ask for opinions, that wasn't the point of this post. That means I did not pose questions for people to answer like, advice or something. I simply allowed comments to see if others felt the same way.
But this person just keep coming at me to these stupid-ass sarcastic remarks. And it's just not necessary. They're messing up the whole flow of this post. If she/he wants to be sarcastic, then why can't she/he start her/his own post about being sarcastic instead of bringing that shit where it is not called for?
Idk...they can say whatever they want, I'm over it, it's just really annoying, b/c what does her/his sarcastic remarks that have to do with ANYTHING in this post?

...apparently not.
Okay, well if my "problem" is so trivial and insignificant, then there's a LOT of people out there with that same "problem". Maybe it's not so trivial after all.
And you're not "attacking anything straight on", you're not being constructive, you're not being helpful, you're just being sarcastic--so much to the point where you're defending the liberty of sarcasm, as if it's what makes the world go 'round. "Life would be so boring without it." Who gives fuck? Excuse my language but honestly...c'mon now....!
And yeah I ALLOWED for comments, but I was hoping that they'd be decent comments about others own personal experiences relating to what I posted, and I was getting that. That I could share my ideas with others and vice versa--thats the point of posting a particular thread based on a particular subject. This thread isn't titled "General Opinions". So that was perfectly fine and much appreciated. Then all of a sudden you post your stuff about how my problem is soooo irrelevant and insignificant BUT APPARENTLY OTHERS HAVE BEEN THROUGH THAT SAME THING AS ME. So just b/c you specifically can't relate to it makes it "silly"?? Like, r u serious...??
All I'm saying is just chill with that attitude. Nobody else came on here being sarcastic and annoying (except one guy who apologized, so it's all good
) so why don't you follow suite and realize that it's not that type of party. If you want me to, I can post a "Let's all act sarcastic for absolutely no reason" post and feel free to express your thoughts of sarcasm there.And I never asked for your pity. Again, if you read what i initially posted CAREFULLY, you'd see that the point was not to have people feel sorry for me. I hate pity. I don't want ya pity. I dont want people feeling sry for me, so I never asked for that. So if you think I want your pity, you can go ahead and save it for somebody else.

Um ... sweetie .. let's get one thing clear here.
You didn't ALLOW anything.
I'm gonna say it again. This is a public discussion forum. If you post here, then you are opening up what you post for discussion. From anyone who wants to respond. Whether you want them to or not. You don't get to "allow" or "not allow" people to comment on what you post.
If you can't handle that, then I suggest you stay away from message boards, mmmkay?

I can "handle" people posting comments. All I'm saying is tha sarcasm is not necessary. You don't need to be sarcastic to get ur point across. Espcially to the extent that it was used. If your entire response is just you being sarcastic, then i'm sry, idk how else to say it, but that's so annoying to me..
