My coworkers put this bubble column distractor in my room and it is after lunch. I am getting sleepy. Time to get up and walk circles in my clinic.... sorry if the image is huge. Posting from my phone.0 -

SSP told me yesterday that if he wants to(I don't know why anyone would WANT to) he can eat an entire giant Double Dave's Pizza... yuck!
I used to be able to eat a half a Papa Murphy's Family Size stuffed pizza by myself. Now, I can MAX 2 slices. *flexes muscles*
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 am such a pig!
I'm not proud of myself...but I have days where I can eat the world. Like, disgustingly huge amounts of food. Not sure how it all fits in there...but yeah. Kinda gross.
Same here. Then, once the eat-the-world feeling wears off, I feel so disgustingly sick/full and my stomach feels like it wants to pop, and I wonder how I could have gotten to this point of fullness without feeling the discomfort beforehand. I have no idea how it happens! It's like my stomach goes numb for a while, then suddenly feels everything at once.
Yep, I know this feeling as well. Every time it happens I always think, this is awful and I will never do this again. And yet, it always happens again...
Yes! It reminds me of being young and stupid drinking too much, getting hung over and swearing to never drink again. But then what do you know, the next weekend...there you are again drinking.
I've been sober 8 months now...but I can't quit food
8 months is awesome. Great and I mean SUPER GREAT job!!!
Thank you!! 0 -
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.
So you wouldn't order a peanut buster parfait from DQ because of the word "parfait"?! I do not understand this logic.
I don't go to DQ but IF I were to go and order that specifically, I would probably say something like 'peanut butter thing' while waving my finger towards where it's listed on their menu. Much like Wawa's 'sizzli' menu. I hate that word as well.
I'm not sure why I hate it other than it just sounds silly to me. I want to punch both of them.
Not peanut butter, peanut buster.
I kept thinking that was wrong but I couldn't remember what else it could be. Buster...Thanks for clearing that up.
You're welcome. Like I mentioned a million pages back, I worked at DQ in high school, so I'm quite familiar with their old school treats. The mint Dilly bar is still one of my most favorite things. I need one in my life soon.
That reminds me, someone (can't remember who) was talking about some frozen bars that were made from fruit juice or something and VERY low in calories. I think they're called Outshine or something, anywhoodles, I bought a mixed box last night at Target. The box has lime, strawberry, and raspberry. I'm most looking forward to the lime.
@m1xm0d3, Mr. Mo's favorite flavor so far is the Mediterranean Mint (I bought him a pint last night). I want to try the Roman Raspberry, but I can't justify spending $6 on a pint of gelato. I still have a full pint of B&J's Tonight Show Dough, and a full pint of Talenti cookie dough (I think).
I did! They're very yummy!! I buy the lemon and lime flavored ones!0 -

I can relate to this 100%. I'm super scared I'll gain all my weight back but I can't seem to stop eating all the food!
One of my favorite motivational quotes.

My confession? I don't eat pork anymore (for a variety of reasons) and haven't done for about 15 years. The thing i miss the most? McDonald's sausage, egg and cheese mcmuffin.
A life without Canadian bacon, or regular bacon for that matter is scary lol.
May I ask the reasons?
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 haven't eaten pork since I was around 7 or 8 years old. It's a texture thing.
I have vivid memories of sitting at the dinner table with a wad of chewed pork chop in my mouth that I absolutely could not swallow.
I have never liked bacon. DD had a maple bacon donut on the menu today. I think that is weird. I don't get the bacon fascination.
The aroma, the flavor, the fact you can add it to any edible thing imaginable and it becomes even better than without. I looove me some bacon.
With that being said, I haven't had any in a few months.
A big juicy cheeseburger with perfectly cooked bacon on top is one of my guilty pleasures. Almost anytime I have the opportunity to eat a bacon cheeseburger, I most certainly will.
There's a local grill between work and home (read: temptation) that every Tuesday they offer a 1/2 lb burger with whatever you want on it (including bacon) plus boardwalk fries for $6.It's been about 5 months since I've had one but I think about that darn burger every stinking Tuesday. One of these days I am going to give in and it will be a glorious reunion of burger & taste buds.
You bet I'd be there!! YUMMM0 -

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'm so, so sorry about your dog! My sister's dog passed away yesterday and it breaks my heart. He was her best friend for nearly 13 years and I loved him soooo much.
I recently also had the same kind of ultrasound - it wasn't a horrible experience or anything. They really do need you to have a full bladder for the first part, and that was the most uncomfortable part. I hope it goes well for you and that you feel better.
Good job avoiding the "grief bacon" (as it's known around here)! I hope each day gets at least slightly easier to bear. Hugs!0 -

All the snoring talk and this story reminds me of when I was pregnant, I snored so loud that my normally sleep through anything husband slept on the couch one night... & I was mad at him for not sleeping with me. Hormones, I tell ya.0 -

Thanks for asking, I was curious as well !!!0 -
It is a distractor unit we use to help kids be more comfortable while we do our ultrasound exam or whatever they need. Working at a chilren's place is great. They are huge on keeping the kids calm and comfortable so they don't freak out on us. Of course sometimes, it just can't be helped.0 -
Guys, I'm really sad because I was trying to post a picture on the random pic thread but it keeps showing up sideways no matter what I do to try to fix it.
I got it to work finally. I had to take a printscreen of the picture and then save it again as a new file (not sure what was going on).0 -
I'm still working on getting caught up.
I went on a walk at lunch yesterday with a co-worker so that was good. I'm thinking about walking again today.
I have today and then half a day tomorrow for work so I'm in vacation mode already. This weekend I have my Red Rocks concerts so I'm really excited (Pretty Lights Friday and Saturday). Hopefully no one laughs at me since I'm older but I bought jewels for my face so I'm going to put those on and I have Glowbys for my hair (fiber optic glow barrettes for hair). I'm just going to have fun. I'll try to post a pic in the batcave from my phone later of my trial run of the jewels to see what you guys think.
Friday morning we are going to Original Pancake house. Strawberry waffles and home fries here I come. Yay.
Cool! I used to be a raver and did all the decked out gear at one time. I've been an EDM DJ for over 5 years. I remember when Pretty Lights was just an up-and-coming midliner. Now he headlines all of his shows. Do you by chance like Bassnectar? He is always doing shows at RR.
Yes, I actually like Bassnectar as well but I've never been to their concert yet (I'm determined though!-I need to just go, I need more money haha). This will be my 3rd year going to the Pretty Lights Red Rocks concerts so I'm really excited. I look forward to it every year. Tickets sell out so fast though.
That is awesome that you are an EDM DJ. We would get along pretty well. That's my favorite type of music. I'm kind of jealous, I always thought being a DJ would be pretty fun!
Any specific genres you like more than others? I am a huge Drum & Bass fan but also like Breakbeats, Psytrance....
This is a photo from a party about 5 years ago. From what you can see my apparel was rather loud and eclectic. lol
Awesome! Are those glow sticks too?
I like it all. Mostly anything with a lot of bass though. Love Drum and Bass. I don't even know what to categorize Pretty Lights music as but that I like it a lot. It helps calm me down when I'm stressed out.
It's funny because my second favorite type of music is old stuff like 1940's music. I'm weird like that. There is a spotify channel called electroswing or something like that and it has a lot of stuff I like (oldies mixed with electronic music)
Guys, I'm really sad because I was trying to post a picture on the random pic thread but it keeps showing up sideways no matter what I do to try to fix it.
Yes, there were some glow things around my neck. I was a very proficient glowsticker back then. I'll see if I can link you to some of my favorite mixes later this evening. Soundcloud is a great resource for new music.
Cool. I'm always looking for new music. I love Soundcloud. I'm sure you have a lot of stuff I've never heard of before. I know DJs are always good resources for new music (my ex was a DJ and as much as I dislike him now, I was introduced to a lot of music that I love even today).0 -

I have a fondness for EDM too, but I only go to shows a couple times a year these days as I find the whole scene a bit overwhelming in my older, more sober years, lol. I do listen to drum and bass while I'm running though. And FroggyBug, I love that electroswing stuff too, I know a couple local DJs who play it and it's really fun. I'm also into a DJ named Pumpkin who plays lots of older music in his set.
I'm going to post a glowstick-y and bodypainted photo of me in the batcave too so you guys can see I've got EDM cred too
lol.
I know exactly how you feel about the crowds (that's why I said hopefully no one laughs at me-I just feel like I don't belong-older than everyone and bigger too :-P ). I only go to a couple shows a year too. I would actually go to more but I'm poor. I actually save my tax refund each year for shows I want to see (usually just Pretty Lights these days).
Thank you so much for the tip on DJ Pumpkin. I'm going to look that up later. I love stuff like that.0 -

That's cool!
I do wish they had those types of things for adults too though. I couldn't relax during my MRI. It wasn't that I was nervous or anything but concentrating on keeping my leg still was making it even harder to stay still. Maybe if I had that thing to look at, it would have helped.0 -
Oops sorry for all the post in a row guys. Like I said, I'm kind of in vacation mode so I seem to be posting more.0

Thank god I'm going to the doctor in a few minutes! I'm in so much pain right now it's literally making me sick! Everything from my lower back to my feet is just sharp, shooting pain, and I can barely walk. Damned (sorry Susie!)pinched nerves!

It is mobile so we can move it from room to room. There is also a projector we can put on top that shines stars on the ceiling.0 -

I'm surprised that so many people can relate! I always feel so much guilt and self-disgust afterwards and all alone.
You definitely aren't alone. I do this to myself too, I'll just keep eating until I feel sick. The worst part is there's a little voice in the back of my head that points out A) that I'm not hungry and B ) it's not going to help me reach my goal, but I keep eating anyway.
I do this too. I've been doing it more often lately. Saturday, I was eating everything I could find and I was not.even.hungry 0 -

It definitely helps with some that are too young to concentrate on a movie. Just something soothing and some background music sometimes.0
