No hate here. I will express concern and encourage you to find healthy ways to learn self control. Hugs.
ETA I have friends and other people in my life who have struggled with such issues. Some took it to very serious points. Others have lasting damage. I would not wish that on anyone. Please take care of you.
Thank you for your kindness! Rest assured I won't go on 500 cals a day diet. I just wanna unlearn mindless eating and not graze like a cow.I just wanna give my stomach a little rest from overeating.
Instead of unlearning mindless eating, try learning mindful eating. It's easier to learn something than to unlearn something.

To jump in on the McD convo: I used to get their sausage & egg biscuit, then add cheese to it (sorry @peleroja ). I also love their fruit & yogurt parfaits. Not too many calories, but quite tasty. I consider it a dessert for my biscuit sandwich.
Also, sometimes I just really want a McD's cheeseburger. The little one. I almost never actually spend 400+ calories on that little bugger, but yeah. That's the only non-breakfast thing I'll eat there, along with a hot fudge sundae. Heh
Confession. I haaate the word parfait. Not sure why.... but it could be the best thing on earth and I wouldn't order it if I had to say the name when ordering.
I'm not really sure what a parfait is? Is it like yoghurt? All I can think of is 'perfect' since I'm bilingual French. I'm sure a proper French person would know what a parfait food thing is, but I spent most of my childhood enjoying Marmite and toad in the hole and endless English stodge.0 -

Blegh blood tests.
I don't mind having blood drawn, but my mom can't stand it. She also can't stand to stay in the room with anyone else who is having blood drawn, because the needles freak her out. Both my sister and I would sit with her and hold her hand and comfort her while she sobbed through it--and once, I covered her eyes with my hands and told her not to look and I'd buy her ice cream after it was over.
Speaking of having blood drawn, though... (squeamish people look away!) I once had an inexperienced nurse trying to draw blood from me, and I have VERY elusive and narrow veins. I usually have to warn the nurses that they'll have to get it from my hand, because they just can't find veins in my upper arm where they usually prefer to take it.
Anyhow, I warned her that she should take it from my hand, but she wanted to try my upper arm first. She ended up having to prick me three separate times, and finally resorted to my hand (why does nobody want to listen to me to begin with? I always warn them... Bunch of know-it-alls.). After she was done, she tried to collect the tube and stuff, and dropped the whole thing. Blood sprayed EVERYWHERE.

Regarding the rest of your comment, I didn't heed your warning and I feel very nauseous now. My own dumb fault. The thing about blood spraying everywhere is a horrible fear. I've heard of people getting their blood lost or dropped and having to get it drawn again... if that happened to me I would retreat to my room and sob my heart out.
I don't know if this will help you or not, but I wanted to point out that a little bit of blood, when spilt, can look like an awful lot, and look a lot worse than it truly is. For example, if you were to spill a blood donation (they take just under a pint) that would make an almighty mess and look like a murder scene, when in fact the person who just gave the donation would be fine. I'm 5'2" and medium build and can donate nearly a pint of blood with no problems. But it sure looks dramatic if they spill it!0 -

It's a long story that I'm too heartbroken, miserable, and depressed about to type out, but I will say that I've had to force myself out of bed and do daily activities. Instead of eating tons of food, I've exercised to get my mind off it.
CONFESSION: I have to get a pelvic ultrasound to check for cysts since I haven't had my period in almost a year (last one was September last year) and I'm super nervous.
I had one of these a couple of years ago (both external and internal). It's not much fun, it's true, but it doesn't hurt. Just keep telling yourself they've seen it all before! And if they do find anything, at least you can get it treated. I honestly found the smear (pap) test to be worse in terms of discomfort, and that didn't hurt either. Good luck to you (and I'm sorry about your dog).0 -

I got a call today from the college about, of course, the deadline for registration, but also got a voicemail about needing to speak regarding my "academic progress". I didn't pass two of my classes back in the spring, so I became ineligible for financial aid for the fall, or so I thought. Apparently, I got an email awhile back about submitting an "academic plan" for the fall semester, which would reinstate my aid for this fall. Needless to say, I called the financial aid office, and submitted the form online. They told me it would take at least 24 hours for them to review it and decide, so I'm crossing my fingers that they do reinstate it. I've always wanted to get a degree, even if I did nothing with it in my life, just to have it. Luckily, since I'm working in the tax field, an accounting degree may come in handy at some point.
Oh, and if anyone was wondering, my doctor's appointment is at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully I can get some help with my own issues, so I can better focus on school and work and Raelynn.
I'm glad you're feeling more cheerful and have everything crossed for it to be reinstated. You need to do things for you, as well as for Raelynn0 -

Google peanut butter parfait from dairy queen. It's layers of peanuts, chocolate, ice cream with whipped cream on top. So good (although you will be sick if you eat the whole thing). I don't know what the technical definition is but it must be something along the lines of layers of food/treats or something. And it probably is for 'perfect'.0 -

Did she have to take it again??
I had a terrible experience when I was a kid once. I was about 7 years old and there was a nasty lab tech digging around not getting blood and it hurt, a LOT. I started crying and when she pulled out, I got up and tried to leave. Next thing you know, I have like five medical people holding me down, one was literally sitting on my lap so I could not get up, while this woman dug my arm with what felt like a hot poker. I even remember I tried to bite the girl sitting on me at one point, and then someone else pulled me back by the hair and held me that way. It was over 30 years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday.

Oh, that's so lovely to hear! I hope things continue to go well for you two.fun lil bit of info for those who may care:
mr jaye and i have decided to make the relationship "official"
we've both shut down our dating profiles and are now exclusive.
he's met my bff, i've met his, it's been pretty awesome!
he's kinda amazing and it boggles my mind why he'd be crazy about me, but i'm totally running with it!
thanks to all the peeps that were supportive during my "post date updates" you guys gave me so much insight and encouragement, which was absolutely appreciated and greatly needed.
If it helps, I'd been dating my husband for 3 weeks when I thought "I could marry this one". We've been married 21 years and still like each other.
I love stories like that. I met my husband in a dark, dingy rock nightclub. I didn't know anyone in the city when I moved there aged 18 so went clubbing on my own to this place because at least I liked the music there. Met him on the dance floor when a song came on and his mates didn't want to dance/mosh so I stepped up (we'd been catching one another's eye all evening) and I remember distinctly telling my flatmate the next day that this one was a keeper. I didn't even know his name or number, I just went back to the same club in hopes he would too and he did!
And I was right. We've been together 10 years and married for nearly 6.
Awww I LOVE THIS!0 -

I'm not proud of this, but I used to (regularly) order and eat potato wedges, chicken strips, a large pizza and a tub of ice cream, from Pizza Hut. I always planned to eat the wedges and strips one night, and the pizza the next. never happened. and when pizzas were on bogoff, i used to order 2, planning to eat one, save one. nup, that never happened either.

I'm finally caught up on 550+ posts, but I read fast so I'm sure I missed something.
I got sick over the long weekend - woke up at 3am Saturday morning to throw up, spent the rest of the day sleeping and feverish. I'm just starting to feel normal today, and I'm really ticked I missed out on my long weekend. No shopping with my mom, no hiking with my dog, no going to watch my friend's husband's band play, no drinks on the patio. I demand a do-over. Can we make the next 3 days a weekend, please?
My parents were over to help work on the patio Saturday (with just my brother & his girlfriend, since I was unable to help) and it was nice to have my mom there. Even though I'm 30 and haven't lived at home for 8+ years, she made me soup and took care of me while she was there. Maybe I should be a bit embarrassed but it was nice lol.
But my poor mom ended up with it Saturday night - not from me, we'd been at my aunt's house the same night, where I'm sure we picked it up from.
Ugh I hate whenever you're looking forward to a few days off, vacation, or a holiday & then you get sick! I hope you get another long weekend soon.
When your mom recovers maybe you can do a girl's day out with shopping & going out to eat.0 -

I really dislike bacon.
The reasons are mostly, because improperly cooked pork can give you worms. And I had too many bouts, so i said no more. I only ever got them after eating pork. (and yes, i know you can get them from other things, and worse things from other meats). But touch wood, since not eating pork, i never had them again.
and also, i'm not really keen on the texture (i don't eat turkey or fish for the same reasons)

I do plan on having kids, and in fact I want more than one. I'm terrified of blood tests but the thought of having a kid someday makes it seem very much worth it. I'm definitely going to promise myself something nice afterwards, thinking bubble tea and maybe even a movie (though my appointment is at 10 AM...).FluffySandwich wrote: »I'm going to have to get a police check and medical exam soon to apply for my Canada permanent residency and I am absolutely terrified.

I really feel sorry for people who struggle with blood tests. They seem such an inevitable part of life, especially if you ever plan on having kids. I'm on my third set already within 16 weeks. Two were scheduled, the third was because they mislabelled the first one! Thankfully I'm not nervous about these things (I used to give blood regularly). I can't give any brilliant insights I'm afraid. Distract yourself, promise yourself something nice for afterwards, imagine they're going to cut a leg off an feel relieved when it's just a needle? I don't know! Good luck to you, I hope it goes well!
Hearing that you are 5'2'' (I am too) and can donate a pint of blood helped me tremendously. Makes me realize that it really isn't any problem to donate blood. We have a lot in the first place and can easily make more. Despite knowing that it isn't a logical fear, I still feel very anxious. Wish I could just stop these annoying feelings, but your post really helped me. Thank you!FluffySandwich wrote: »

HA! One time I went to the grocery store in the middle of the day, bought a huge 2 liter thing of ice cream, and downed the whole thing in one sitting. It was delicious, but that is not something I recommend.orangesmartie wrote: »

Can you not go to a different place with a more skilled lab tech?
Hope this goes well for you, my daughter has issues with this too. I told her she is gonna be my age and I am still gonna have to take time off work to hold her hand when she gets blood taken, lol. Also, I'm very sorry about your scary childhood experience. That sounds traumatizing. When I was little I was also held down by doctors so they could give me a shot, and I bit one of them so hard he bled. Oops!

I'm totally here! But I am at work and had to make my rounds. I do a little bit more than just sit around all night watching videos on Youtube.
I want to take something difficult but not too hard. Maybe a beginner chemistry course? I've always hoped to understand chemistry. I made the attempt when I was married but my now ex-husband had me signed up for History, Biology, English Literature, and an Algebra refresher course along with Chemistry. I was also working 60+ hours a week bartending....how I was supposed to do ALL of that and keep the house together while he was unemployed was a little beyond me.
I think I will start with Math for my first class. I'm good at math and it makes sense to me.
I admire people who understand math. I always struggled with it. But do it! I love school (obviously). I love to learn.
I always hated math! I loved history, because it was easier for me to memorize dates & facts. The teacher I had in 11th grade for history was pretty odd though. I had to highlight half of my book with pencil to pass her tests since she would put the most random questions in that focused on the littlest details. I also remember she put a stupid question like how many one word syllables are in The Gettysburg Address. Who in their right mind would know that? I also found it odd that one of her bonus projects was to mail a grave of someone historic & if you got a response back from the caretaker you got extra credit.
... I have to admit that your teacher sounds SUPER weird. O.o What kind of exam questions/projects are THOSE?!
I know right? The worst thing about mailing a famous grave was you couldn't send a letter to the graves students in previous years selected. I'm pretty sure that was her past time visiting famous graves.
I may or may not have opened my book to help in one of her tests when she left the room one day

MY SO probably has a similar issue. He's been having a lot of trouble with episodes of muffled hearing in one ear and takes an antihistamine daily, but the ear nose & throat specialist thinks it is a jaw problem rather than ear or sinus. He's supposed to see his dentist about getting a mouth guard thingy to wear at night.
I already wear a mouth guard thingy because I grind my teeth at night, so I'm a little too thrilled that he will have to wear one too. Really I'm hoping that it helps with his awful snoring.
I'd be thrilled to find something to help my husband's snoring! OMG, it's awful!!0 -

So, I getting really excited about Halloween. I know it's still months away, but I just love that time of year so much...the weather, the fun decorations, the candy, picking out our son's costume and trick or treating with him! He woke up this morning telling me he wants to be a French fry this year. He was a piece of pizza last year!! His first Halloween, he was Superman. Second one, he was a dinosaur, and then last year was the pizza. I'll post pictures in the batcave later. I get ridiculously excited about picking out his costume and I will be pumped if I can find a French fry for him! 0

Not to mention the sound of the snipping of my flesh is making me a bit nauseous.
*shudders at the sound of snipping flesh
I had no idea that you'd have such exercise restrictions after the procedure. Huh. I wonder why? Man, I feel like you might go crazy not being able to do all the things you're used to for 2 weeks! Ack!
Layman's explanation is that exercise increases the odds of infection by risking opening the wound and getting sweat and staph from your outer skin in it.
Its also on my shoulder so movement would aggravate it. And according to them delay 2 weeks of healing to become 3 months...and the scar will be uglier.
And I missed this yesterday too. I'm so sorry I know taking a break from exercise stinks and the whole, ya know, getting something cut off you. GL! 0 -

So, I guess since I wasn't included in this list I don't get to be a bridesmaid? Sigh. Oh well, being a guest is better anyway, I can wear whatever I want and don't have any chores!
you and me can be guests together, and drink the free bar dry
Better and better!0
