Most people are pigs.
Though I should talk--I have lint on the mirror in one of the photos in my profile.
Uggg, I hate signs and memes like that. Being messy doesn't prove that you have a life--it just proves that you are a slob.
I don't love my friends who are slobs any less because of it, but if you are an adult and you can't manage to keep your home in some kind of order, you have a problem.
Hmmmm, well. Yeah, maybe I do have a problem. Like, my parents are borderline hoarders, and no one ever modeled or taught me how to organize or keep a clean house. I had to teach myself, as an adult, to clean up after myself... and sometimes I just feel lazy. Or, sometimes my depression is so strong that I consider it an accomplishment that I wake up with my son every morning and feed him three meals. Or, maybe for me, my house that looks messy to you is actually a victory to me, because it is 20x cleaner than how I grew up. You are right, I have a problem.
Me too! My mom is mentally handicapped sooo... yeah me and my brother weren't taught the necessary skills to be super clean all the time. To this day my brother struggles to remind himself to brush his teeth (alarms, sticky notes), he was never really told to.
I think people like you and me have come a long way from how we were raised. In fact, it terrifies my husband so much to have another child, because he grew up similarly and finds it REALLY hard to get the drive to keep things decent, though our son has definitely helped us both learn to keep things in order. It's a victory for us to say there are no more clothes to wash or dishes to do, even if it takes me forever to fold our laundry.
The trash goes out, we don't leave food around. We're trying to instill better habits in our son, and it's definitely helping us become better house keepers!
I hope you are really proud of yourself, because it's awesome that you've been able to come so far. I definitely don't want my son to feel the same way about our house that I did about mine growing up. I don't keep my house 100% picked up 100% of the time, but sometimes I stop and pat myself on the back for providing a safe, sanitary, comfortable environment for my child.
We both should be proud!
I admit it's frustrating because I like to make mental lists that tend to overwhelm me, and then I get nothing done. -.- But each day I try and do at least 1 or 2 things to make the house look better. Never ending loop of picking up after a 2 year old! 0 -

No worries. You can color grey.
My poor son is 20 and has been going bald for a year. His hair is half gone.
I started finding grey hairs when I was 23. The worst part is I can't colour my hair, it won't hold any dye and ends up looking like straw within a couple weeks (doesn't matter if it's permanent, demi- or semi-permanent). The most recent time I did try to colour it, it didn't cover the grey anyway.
Aw, dang.
I've been coloring my hair since I was in my late 20's. I'm 41 now and have no idea if there's any grey under there or not. I don't wanna know!
I've got this rogue thing going on with my hair right now, I've been going grey since I was 16 but only on the left side of where my hair parts. I have zero sympathy for people who freak out when they find their first grey hair in their late 30's to 40's. I may be heartless lol
I got my first gray hair at birth! No kidding... I was born with one!
I found my first gray hair the other day, I was so upset! What makes it bad, is that it was a pube! Even worse - it was on my pizza!0 -
I get uncomfortable when people say "you should use that website to find out your real bra size then go buy new bras!"
I don't have a lot of spare income. I can't afford to be buying a ton of new nice bras. I'm saving that for GW.
Honestly, it doesn't even have to be a nice one if it fits better. You can get a 2 pack at Walmart for $10. That's what I did when I first tried the calculator, just to see how accurate it was. It was dead on, so I ordered one "good" one after, because I know my size changes will be slow going. If I was losing as fast as I did when I was younger, I'd probably stick with walmart til I was done.0 -
Sometimes I just eat cereal for all of my meals. This means I eat a full box of cereal. (protein cereal is best) When all I eat is a protein cereal for the day I do manage to hit my macros because the cereal is high in protein and has decent fiber and my almond milk has some fat.
When I do this, I wake up like a pound or two pounds lighter than my norm because cereal is such a light food.0 -
I have 3 kids under the age of 7 and some days my place looks good but most days it doesn't get clean until after bedtime. And sometimes my wife and I don't really have the energy to clean for an hour after working all day and taking care of the kids, so yeah sometimes it is messy but whatever. Maybe one day I'll make enough to hire a maid but until then Id rather watch Spartacus on Netflix before bed than clean some nights.
I am just glad the subject got off bra's though. So confusing and honestly I just want to hear about people eating powdered hot chocolate and weird stuff like that.
Like my favorite snack at work is 'Peanut butter fingers' (if you are a freinds fan you'll know what this is, just think jar...finger...peanut butter...in my mouth)0 -
i don't ever track the salt that i add while cooking
i eat dinner at 4:30 on wednesdays (only on wednesdays)
i build in 200 calories for candy every. single. day.0 -
I have Celiac and can't eat gluten but when I get stressed I crave gluten. Not carbs, or bread, specifically gluten/wheat. If I'm super stressed I will eat a bagel and cream cheese (my former comfort food) and then be in pain for days. Despite all of that, it is totally worth it. I feel so much "better" after. I tried eating a gluten free bagel but its not the same. I know its ridiculous, I know its bad for me (trust me I can feel it), but the craving/desire/urge/whatever is so strong I can't even describe it.0

Confession: What I dub "Breakfast Ramen" is about 1200 calories of deliciousness for the amount I end up eating.
FTR: Breakfast Ramen usually is made in bulk and consists of draining the cooked ramen with seasoning packets, adding a couple tablespoons of mayonaisse (to 6 packets or so) 8oz pork breakfast sausage, a bag of frozen vegetables, a couple of eggs to the hot noodles and plenty of cheese. I also make a smiliar ramen meal with tuna, veggies and cheese.
Soooo good.0 -

I'm a 32GG and I hate it. It's not due to my weight (5'2, 110lbs) I'm so uncomfortable and I've been thinking about going to the docs for a while now. I've done loads of research and the only thing bothering me is the scarring..
I have scars, looks like my nipples are crying but they've faded and nobody but my husband sees them. I'm a 34D and don't have to wear a bra. I told him to jack them way up so they would never fall down. Best move I've ever made.0 -

Wow, really? Just curious - do you know why? I think it's a beautiful shade from your avatar picture, so I'm truly just being nosy! Feel free to ignore, of course...
She colors her own hair the same color and just started doing mine when she did hers. I thought it was my natural color until I hit puberty lol. Now I have a professional do it every four weeks. It's damn expensive to keep up with. Roots!0 -
Confession: I think most diet sodas are Gross - yes, capital G. I would much rather mostly exclude soda than ever drink Diet Pepsi or Coke.0

My husband due to a work injury (which is almost completely recovered) has the benefits of free regular GP visits, physiotherapy and PT sessions, gym membership and a dietician, and doesn't appreciate how lucky he is to have all these resources available to him.
He tells me I'm loopy for counting calories and rolls his eyes at me when I say "don't throw that box out, I need the barcode to log it".
The evil monkey in me wants to make sure I kick his a** in the weightloss department (rather than you know, trying to motivate him) with just MFP and my tiny office gym, to just so I can throw it in his face. I kind of feel guilty about not feeling guilty over this.
I'm also addicted to collecting lunchboxes.0 -
I am both excited and scared for this weekend, I know I am going to blow my calories. ( I only feel a little guilty)
My sons 16th is tomorrow and I already have the pork ribs marinating, and will bake a banana cake today after work.
Then we go away for the night for my mums birthday on Saturday..... I saw the menu for where we are going for dinner and they have pork belly, I feel bad for my scales already.
At least I can tell myself its not mindless hot chip eating at work right?0 -

I freaking LOVE ramen. I may do this some day minus the sausage.
I've never eaten it as a soup, always completely drained with the seasoning. I haven't had any for years because of the wicked high sodium but the SO found a couple packs in the back of the cupboard and suggested adding it onto a meal... he'd never had it any way except soup-style and he thought my version sounded weird until he tried it.
I'm sure he'll like your version too. (Except I'll have to save the idea until I'm having a really low sodium stretch.)0 -

It has solved everything and ai feel better than ever...but after 2.5 years doing this....I still have yet to admit publicly that my main reason (without the input of doc and PT/driend) for doing it was to tell myself no for a good reason to all the yummy goodies that have gluten in them.....cupcakes, cake, bread, tortillas, etc...
Sounds like it worked for you for the right reasons and you have nothing to feel guilty about, nor the need to explain it to others! I do low carb because it works for me; not for any medical reason and I have no need to justify it to anyone. Keep it up if it works for you!
The difference is amazing. Eating out is very difficult and I've found that most waiters/waitresses get frustrated with my questions. But oh well, I only eat out once a week now.

My mom always made "fancy" ramen from the packets. She'd add onions and celery, sometimes carrots or whatever else we had on hand. Also frozen shrimp if we had it, maybe whisk in an egg... there would barely be any broth. Then she'd add a splash of vinegar. Now I am super, duper craving ramen... which I never buy, because that's the sort of food I binge on. Oh well, I'm adding it to next week's grocery list.0 -

I'm the same way with milk. If I have milk I will get really sick to my stomach. I have even broken out in hives, so I just avoid it altogether. On an extremely rare occasion, I want a real milk milkshake or ice cream and I will wait until I have a day off from work to get it. I know that I will have severe stomach distress, but it's worth it.

Confession: I had a customer comment on my weight loss today. It's the first time someone has noticed since I have quietly recommitted to getting healthy.
Confession: I had two dinners tonight. I got home from work and made myself a sandwich a grilled cheese with Gouda and ham on Italian bread. It was figured into my calories. I was still hungry an hour later so I made another one.
I'm still within my calorie goal, but barely.

I completely agree with this. I can't drink diet, I'd rather go without.
I had a really low calorie morning so I planned to have lots of yummy gooey pizza for dinner. I was trying to decide where I was getting it (papa john's for the breadsticks dipped in cheese or pizza hut for wings) and the guy I just started sort of seeing asked if I wanted to come over and said he'd pick up pizza. On my way to his house I blew not one but two tires out, had to wait an hour and a half for a tow truck, and while the guy came to wait with me and brought the pizza, it was Domino's and not good. I wish I'd have stayed home and ordered my own, and not just because I'm now out the cost of new tires.0 -
Having cheesy noodles with tons of spinach and pieces of pork loin in it... I'm starving... I will try not to fill my bowl all the way. T_T;;;0

The problem with being "just messy" is that you can't really see/properly clean what is underneath the mess. If your kids are old enough to shower alone, they are old enough to mop up after themselves...and probably fold laundry too. Once your children are beyond toddlerhood, there is really no excuse.
All of these things are relative of course. My friends think that I am a neat freak. My mother thinks that I am a slob because I don't wipe out my refrigerator with bleach once a week.
Thinking that being messy makes you interesting is like thinking that wearing un-matched socks makes you a rebel. Really, it is just sad.

I have 22 calories left for the day because I'm home sick and when I have an upset tummy I just want things so I had chips and salsa, chocolate, ice cream and peanuts.0

I just want to be skinny. I know this isn't much of a confession, but I needed to tell someone. I feel like it's never going to happen. I'll keep trying though.0

It's 3:30am and I just ate four mega stuf oreos... I'm gonna feel awful all day tomorrow. I don't know why I do this to myself! The simple truth is that I can't buy cookies. I eat them all. It's next to impossible for me to control myself. Every time I pick up a box of cookies I think, I'll eat these really slowly... it never happens. Now I have a stomachache already. :-(0

I don't like wearing 'sports wear' when I'm outside because it's like you're announcing to the world 'Look at me, I'm exercising!" and I don't yet feel I can pull that off without inviting judgement because I don't look 'fit enough'. As such, I just wear normal clothes when I go for walks. On Monday I did a fairly brisk 5 miles and I worked up a good sweat. When I got home the lining of my good winter coat was soaked through. It's dry clean only so I turned it inside out, doused it with Febreze and left it on washing line to air out. That's OK, right? I've no idea if it stinks 'cos I have basically no sense of smell. I wore it to the beautician yesterday so I hope it doesn't.0
