One time in a support group, the leader said .... "okay, let's pretend we are trying to gain fat, not lose fat. What would you do?" And I thought this was sort of a fun and silly exercise, because it reminds you of what NOT to do. No matter what plan you are on, a lot of these things are likely universal to weight loss plans. Also, silliness is encouraged - this is just supposed to be fun.
I'll start with a few:
- Eat at least one package of Oreos a Day, preferably double stuffed.
- Never leave any food on your plate -even if you are full. "Clean Plate Club"
- if you can't find a parking spot close to the entrance of a store, don't park far away and walk. Drive home and watch tv.
- Eat all your food standing up - it doesn't count!
- Likewise, food bought on sale, with a coupon or for a really good deal doesn't count!
- Never ever reach out for support, it is a sign of weakness.

Ha, what a great idea. Here's a few:
-Eat out everyday, preferably while working an overnight shift, so that the only options are those greasy places that stay open for the drunk college kids till 4am.
-Don't bother to prepare snacks for the day, there is plenty of food available at convenience stores and gas stations.
-If you eat it standing in front of the fridge, with the door still open, looking around frantically to make sure no one sees you, it does not count.
-Likewise for eating anything directly out of a container, using your finger as a utensil (nut butters, hummus, jelly, marshmallow fluff- get creative).
Too Funny Girl-
Never eat in front of anyone ...Cuz if no one sees you the calories don't count!
Eat all junk food while watching favorite shows on couch .It is a Proven Fat Burner!
You can subtract all food that you sneak from your total calorie count.
Junk Food eaten during the week has less calories they only add the calories in on the weekend ..SHHH this is a little known fact that they do not place on the Menu board.
If I wish on a star while eating Junk food I will not gain weight I have earned a 1 month weight window!
Being a stressed out working mom I burn fat easier, as long as I don't exercise.
Anything consumed in less than 30 minutes does not count cuz I'm burning extra calories by shoveling it in!��
Always have seconds and thirds too!
Eat like its your last meal
Pizza has the 5 food groups in it, eat it daily
A box of cheez its and cookies are a must in bed before going to sleep.
Never turn away food, after all it's rude to do so.
Dont forget to drink at least a 2 liter of soda per day
That all sounds too easy, good thing we don't want easy!

When they ask you if you would like to up size your meal at the fast food joints always say yes. It's the same calories as the smaller version because it's the same meal.
Gee, these are bringing back some fond (????) memories!
- Fish should always be breaded and then fried. Preferably in a deep fat fryer, but a skillet with 2 inches of oil in it will do.
- When shopping for ice cream, potato chips, and candy for your evening snacks be sure to throw in a bag of lettuce to fool the checkout clerk
- Cooking is about how things taste. Be sure to taste everything as you're cooking a meal. If you're cooking for 2 and the recipe serves 6, it allows for a lot of taste testing.
- Carry a roll of quarters in your purse at all times so that you always have change for the vending machine. Any weight you gain from eating from a vending machine is offset by the added weight of carrying around a roll of quarters.
- Stop at Krispy Kreme and buy the 2 for 1 (2 dozen for the price of one). Eat the first dozen on the way home and stop someplace to get rid of the box.
- Order the family combination dinner as take out at the Chinese restaurant and tell the cashier you're sure that you're family will enjoy it even though you've never done anything but order take out and usually orders for one (ok, or maybe two).
- If you have favorite indulgent foods, keep them around just in case you feel a little hungry (e.g. candy in desk drawer, snickers in purse, ice cream in freezer).
- If its labeled "fat free", you don't need to count that as eating - no matter how many calories are in it. In fact, count "fat free" food as a serving of fruits and vegetables.
- Liquid calories are great - they make you feel more full. Don't waste your energy on water.

I loved every single one of these, I woke up my dog laughing out loud!!!

I love this thread! For a variation on a theme : When shopping for cake to address a 7pm binge crisis, be sure to add some cat food or litter; you'll throw off the checkout clerk and make your cats happy !
If you wear your sunglasses and take your husband's truck through the drive-thru, the staff won't remember you were already there earlier in your car. And of course, always get a diet coke!
Going out to breakfast after a night of drinking is healthy, the bacon and sausage fat will absorb any alcohol left over in your stomach.
Eating oil laden pasta salad from the supermarket salad bar is a healthy choice, it's from the freakin' salad bar!!
*close your eyes while eating. If you didn't see it go to your mouth, it didn't happen.
*licking peanut butter, cookie dough, ice cream, or frosting off a spoon does not count toward calories. You are cleaning the spoon. Cleaning = housework. Housework = work. Work = calories burned. Therefore, you can double or even triple dip. The more you lick the more you are cleaning and the more calories burned.
*When ordering a sub sandwich, ask for a foot long cut in half and have nothing but double meat and a ton of mayo on one side. Get extra veggies on the other side with no mayo and brag how great and healthy you eat. Have each side wrapped individually. Get home and scrape some mayo off the mayo sandwich onto the other and divide the veggies between the 2. Now eat it all. Your imaginary sandwich sharer isn't hungry anymore and you're not about to waste it.
*Sit on a barstool while eating. Swing your legs like a small child. Believe it or not, leg swinging is exercise and makes it so you can eat whatever/ however much you want.
*Taking a long hot bubble bath with a bottle of wine counts as water aerobics. Trying to bend your legs to shave and work around your belly counts as yoga. Don't forget to add it to your myfitnesspal.
