@MoHousdon Your step-daughter will eventually realize how her actions affect other people but it may take a while. I am 26 and it has taken me this long to REALLY have it sink in, although, it did initially start when I was 17 in my senior year of high school.
Confession #1: It's that TOM and I have become an over eating, over emotional, train wreck. I didn't log everything I ate yesterday and I likely will not log ANYTHING today and I will just keep my workouts going and forgive myself later...
Confession #2: The emotional train wreck part, I have been taking my crazy emotions out on my boss(who I am dating, judge not!). I apologized to him via text and wasn't planning on seeing him until Tuesday(this morning) but I asked if I could come over today(still Monday in my mind) and he said he was good with it. I told him I was super sorry for being all 'woman crazy' as I call it and he thanked me for acknowledging how my overemotional tendencies affect him and, because I KNEW he would be so accepting about everything, I also bought him some apology beer.
Confession #3: I have never been with someone who is so considerate and accepting of my feelings before and it terrifies me
but at the same time makes me want to be a more considerate and accepting person too. 
@Susieq_1994 Every time I play 'catch up' on this thread, you are on the list of top posts I look for. When you are gone you are missed VERY much. Sometimes working on yourself is the best way to worship. So, if you have to, focus on yourself a little more than your prayers. I feel Allah will be grateful that you are taking the time to care for the body he so carefully molded for you so that you can better worship and serve him in the future. I'm sure he sees your struggle and knows you will come out better for it.
Awe thats so sweet. My boyfriend has put up with me a lot too... quite the emotional roller coaster and lifestyle change since we met 3 years ago lol. He really is the love of my life. I pinch myself every day wondering how I got so lucky. Seriously. 0 -

It made me think of this thread because I think that was something people shamefully confessed to eating at the very beginning of the thread, but I think it's a perfectly normal snack. I mean, people eat string cheese and have no issues with that as I snack, why should I be ashamed if I microwave it first? This made me think of other shamefully confessed foods that I also eat and have never thought twice about, like butter on saltines, or the oh so popular spoons of chocolate powder. I'm not sure if this means I have a good relationship with food, or if I have really strange ideas of snacks.
Um I totally do this. And it tastes awesome. A little bit of salt or guacamole on the top and I'm in heaven 0 -
That's why you have to toast them and slather them with butter.kellienw335 wrote: »
Yeah, cause that makes them so much "better"!

Because it was in the reduced bakery section for only $1.40. I followed that up by eating about 20 cinnamon donut holes. Why? Because they were also reduced down to only $.70 !! While they were delicious, and I can afford to eat this way on some days because of the amount of exercise I do and deficit I keep, I feel like I'm going to die. I know that in a couple hours when this sugar high wears off, I'll be feeling even worse and craving more sugar. Ughh!
Why oh why can't I eat sweets in moderation? I had been doing so well. This morning's weigh in showed that I lost 3 of the pounds that I had put on from my emotional bingeing this past year.
Ok done complaining.
Sometimes, our temptations just get the best of us. I would have been hard pressed to not buy a cake that was only $1.40 ESPECIALLY if it were chocolate with vanilla frosting. I wouldn't spend too much time regretting or feeling guilty. Just log this, appreciate the loss you had, and make a better choice for your next meal.
You can just think of it as you had your dessert before dinner today.

Thanks for asking. I'm doing okay. I did a small update a few pages back but I think it was passed over. My boyfriend and I actually talked a lot on Sunday. I was able to ask a bunch of questions and I really do think he answered truthfully. He still wants to do counseling. We are kind of both taking some space too.
I think he is depressed too. His dad passed away a few years ago and he hasn't been the same since (no excuse though-he needs to deal with stuff). He is withdrawn, angry at the world and less patient. I think that is the biggest reason we are having issues really. I told him he needs to think about getting help for himself.
At least I slept better last night.
How are you doing?
I saw your update and responded, but it seems like even when I'm on here during the day I STILL miss posts! I think it's because every time I come back to the thread or refresh it it takes me to the last post, then I have to scroll back, and inevitably posts are missed.
Yea sorry. I'm still catching up so I saw that you responded (thanks-if I haven't said it before-I do appreciate it). I wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad. I just didn't see anything before that. 0 -
A little warning - nowhere over there serves it in newspaper any more. They did when I was a kid, but it's been plain paper for many years. Our local chippy here thinks they're being 'authentic' by wrapping in newspaper but it makes me roll my eyes.@Francl27 my dad said one of the first things I should do when I get there is have an authentic fish and chips meal! I love the Americanized version so I'm sure I'll love it more over there, yum!!

I love microwaved string cheese! Especially when part of it gets crunchy! Yum!
yes yes yes!0 -
Thank you all my lovely friends for the well wishes about my trip ( and @spamarie the vote of confidence on my relationship, I love stories like that!) I don't go until August so I have much time to lose more weight, get all my waxing done, shopping, and primp and pamper before I get to go see my man! Woo hoo!0

@Susieq_1994 Sorry I'm a bit late on this, but I've just caught up and saw your confession, it must be such a tricky thing to deal with and I'm sorry if anything I've ever said has triggered you. I'll try and tone down my language and be more considerate in the future
Confession wise:(although not really a confession haha) I'm feeling very positive today! I'm over 1/4 of the way towards my first goal and a month into using MFP. And today I had a call back for a job interview! I've been looking for over a month and not heard back from anyone, so I'm pretty happy to just be offered an interview even if it is just for the summer before I go back to uni.0 -

@LBuehrle8 I love em too. My favorite are the Ore.. I mean cookies and creme flavor.<3
@KrisiAnnH Great job on both fronts!
I went the London while I was in high school and even being super out of shape, I had a blast. I never don't think I ever got a chance to eat fish and chips though.
Are you going to check out the Globe Theater @lbuehler89 ?

Not homesick, because that's usually for people, and all my family are here. My FIL is 91 and still lives there. My MIL passed away last year so we worry about him by himself but he's a remarkable man - very independent. He came to visit last year and we get back every couple of years. My husband goes more often and will usually take a kid with him.@Tubbs216 do you ever get homesick? How often do y'all go back to visit?
I do miss things, but not anywhere enough to move back. It's more things that I look forward to and enjoy when we're there. I love old stuff; old architecture and culture that gets taken for granted in Europe but is rare and special here. There are enough things that I don't miss to make it worth it! You're going to have such a great time!

I'm totally slacking today and feeling pretty guilty about it. I did go to the gym and have a good workout, but I haven't done anything remotely constructive since. Would love to go out, but it's 90 and humid and we have big thunderstorms on the way, so there goes that.
Also want to read my book but my kids are watching Netflix and my favorite character got killed off, so it kinda dampened my mood a little (don't you just hate when that happens?).
But 11 days to my vacation...0 -

I just wish it were harder for people to get pets. I get depressed just thinking of all the pets the oldest sibling in our family owned... and the dog she has now
Ack - this makes me so incredibly sad! I wish we could screen people prior to them having pets.Caught up!
We went camping this weekend and I ate EVERYTHING (did you know you can roast Pillsbury cinnamon rolls over the fire in foil? Or that you can do pizza dough from scratch as long as it's warm enough to let it rise in the sun?)
We also had my friend's dogs with us and I was in tears laughing at them when we put their puppy life jackets on to swim in the river. They have little handles on the back so you can pick them up like a suitcase...
They look hilarious. And even better is that when you hold them over the water they just start paddling in the air. If you hold them up high, they paddle slowly, but the closer you put them to the water, the faster their little legs go. So freaking cute.
I have one of those jackets for my Mastiff. She loves to swim, sinks like a brick without it. On the plus side, i have my own trolling motor in the river when I am on the float. Attach the leash and let her swim!
Oh, so cute! Large dog, though, right? How big is your Mastiff? My youngest son has a Mastiff / Boxer mix and he's like 120 lbs. I think. He's a tank. I call him "Roadblock" because he will stop abruptly right in front of you and turn around to see if you're still there. Then I either fall over him or come to a complete stand still until he decides to move again. His other dog is an Australian Blue Heeler and she's a smarty-pants. Very mischievous and smart.
Yes, she is a large dog. She is actually small size for her breed and is about the size of your Mastiff/Boxer mix. I used to have an Australian Sheperd/ Heeler mix and loved that dog. Unfortunately he ended up with my ex who didn't take good care of him.
The original picture is very cute @peleroja !
in my area it is much much harder to adopt a pet from a shelter than to just buy one at a pet store...or craigslist. and i find that so distressing. yes, i completely understand the reasoning, i want the pets to go to loving awesome homes...but after the three non-relative references, the vet reference, house visit and evaluation, and interview....ya start to want to go down the easier path. as well, some of the fees different organizations charge are obnoxious. i get that they're trying to cover their costs and help other animals, but i don't think a $350 adoption fee (what i paid to adopt Plankton) is very reasonable. the whole situation just makes me sad 0 -

I know!!! So many people get turned off because they have an uneutered pet or don't have a fenced yard and whatnot... so ridiculous. So for the same cost they just go to a pet store or some random backyard breeder and get a puppy there... so they get money and breed more puppies... It's totally dumb.
I'm still not sure where I'll get my next pets from. I'll probably check shelters and rescues in the area first then we'll see. I know I won't go to a pet store or backyard breeder though... Our first dog was from a puppy mill and he had a lot of temperament issues.0 -
$350 dollars? I was driving through one of the rougher neighborhoods and saw someone selling puppies for $25. Something really needs to be done to address this, especially with the amount of aggressive strays and unleashed dogs I've encountered, but it is just a very sad situation.0

Glad you like it! I think part of the issue with missing posts here isn't so much that the thread is busy (though that's part of it), but it's more that when folks respond, they tend to quote the ENTIRE POST they are replying to, including lengthy blocks of text and/or images and photos. It doesn't take long to burn through multiple pages that way, and bury other new posts in the process.Oh wow I totally missed this, thanks for posting @caitwn!
Another issue on message boards like this one is when people respond with a separate post to every person they are replying to, rather than combining responses in a single post, with individual callouts like "@LBuerhle38, thanks for that feedback!", followed by individual call-outs to others you're replying to. Honestly, handling responses that way is an expectation on a lot of boards because it's considered to be courteous to other posters. I haven't really pushed the issue here because I know nobody is deliberately trying to bury new posts or to 'drown out' other posts with pages of repeated big photos/blocks of text. But it is maybe worth taking a second to think about before hitting that 'quote' + 'reply'
I try doing it that way but I’m usually so far behind that when I’m responding, no one seems to know what I’m responding to anymore if I don't quote something.yesterday afternoon i had plans to take my mom to see jurassic world. yesterday we also had a massive storm that dumped tons of rain. it was still slightly raining when i left the house to meet her at the theater. of course i'm perpetually late for everything and was probably driving a smidge too fast for the road conditions.
then i started to fishtail on the four lane highway, and i completely can't pull out of it, totally lose control, the car does a full 360 spin across the two lanes of oncoming traffic and i bounce off of the opposing guardrail.
I hope you are okay. That sounds really scary. I'm not caught up so you probably answered this by now but did your car get badly damaged?
much to my shock and relief, there was very minimal damage. the front drivers fender is missing quite a bit of paint and there's all kinds of scratches, but no *real* damage. i was super lucky all around.0 -

Yes! I'm glad I'm not the only one - I love this snack!
String cheese (and mini Babybel!) are my on-the-go snacks, so I've never thought about cooking it. I'm intrigued. But also lazy so... 0 -

No worries at all! I just meant that I think this thread moves so fast and the going to the last post (instead of where I left off like it used to be) causes a lot of posts to be missed. Wish that didn't happen.0 -

Well it includes vaccinations and neutering typically, so it's not that horrible, when you think about it. It's just the process that sucks. The worst for me is recommendations. I mean, seriously, having to find people who say that I'm a good pet owner, it's a bit ridiculous.0 -

Well, that policy is about as backwards as it gets, isn't it? I agree with @spacequiztime that the entire procedure needs to be addressed and fixed, but I have no idea how that would happen.0
