Confession 2: I am still stuck on overtime. (I work for the Grinch.) therefore I only bought food to make various sandwiches for dinner this week. If my kids want something else, they will have to defrost and cook it, which at 15, 18, and 21 they are welcome to do. (My 9yo would be perfectly fine eating ham or pb &j at every meal.)
I feel like having Confession 2 for dinner every night. My daughter is very picky and doesn't eat much variety wise, so that would make my evenings less stressful. Plus, when I do cook, I feel like no one really appreciates it anyway, so why bother, unless I feel like having something in particular. When you ask the hubs, he just says whatever.....he is no help in menu planning.0 -

At least I know I am not alone. I usually try to fix something half of them like one night and the other half the next, but I am exhausted and I am just not doing it this week. There's a school special something every night and I just won't have time.

While waiting in line to pay for my coffee every morning at our work cafeteria, I look at you, I look at what you are buying to eat, and I judge you...but silently, and then I move on...
I like to look at and secretly judge people's shopping carts while in line a the grocery store
The only time I judged someone while being a cashier was a lady who bought around $300.00-$400.00 on Easter Candy with their Food Stamp card. Normally I couldn't careless what people buy with their Access cards, but that ticked me off! That money could've went to people who were desperately in need for more nourishing meals & some junk food. If she would've bought a reasonable amount of candy I wouldn't have thought anything of it, because her kids could then get a special treat.
I like to look at people's carts too, but at the same time I know people look at mine haha when I buy 3-4 ice creams.0 -

I have that if my 9 year old is with me when I buy ice cream, I get less judgmental looks from people. I did have a woman ask me how I eat ice cream and stay skinny not too long ago. "if I get one bowl before my teenagers find it, it's a miracle," I said.
It's the 4 bags of chips that I buy weekly for the boys' lunches that really get me the judgmental looks though. One woman even said something about them. The manager was running a register, looked at her and said, "not that her food is your decision, but she has 4 kids and none of them like the same flavor." I have been shopping there for a long long time for the cashiers to know that...

I always secretly laugh to myself when I buy 6 bags of carrots, 10 bags of animal crackers, 6 cans of progresso soup, a bunch of water and then maybe a card or something. Or last night when I bough 20 bags of starlight mints at target. Yes, 20. Its hard to find those big bags and the horses go through a LOT of mints!0 -
I have taken out moldy cheese, cut off the mold and eaten it (the clean parts, not the mold).MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »

I had a stupid camera sad moment yesterday. I had a picture taken with one of my favourite skaters last week, and even though he looks quite tall and well-built on the ice he's actually shorter than I am and so slender my hand could almost span his waist. (It was like having my arm around a concrete pole, though. Rock-solid muscle.) Until now I've been really happy with what I've been seeing in the mirror every morning. When I open this picture I just want to cry, because I look so horrible in it, huge
And even though it's dumb and he was so nice I can't help but think he must have wondered about this creepy fat woman who wanted to get a picture with him.
He sounds tiny, not that you are big. You are a skater, you can't be very large!0 -

I feel that way when I am at the barn in the dead of winter and my turtle neck keeps riding up. Or my socks keep falling down. I go home and throw them away.0 -

Been there.
This is one of the reasons I don't like to drink anymore. I would go eat dinner (healthy) and drink a couple of glasses of wine, then leave the restaurant and go through the mcdonald drive through and get a mcflurry!
the wine these days goes right to my head....and then all my restrictions on food go right out the window.0 -
hmmm i wanted to make 1660....

I feel embarrassed when I go to the gym. I just feel like everybody is doing their thing well, while I'm there on the treadmill looking like a duck on drugs or something.
It's stupid, but that's how I feel.0 -
i just gave my daughter some of my treat of the day just to stay under my calories. At least for now my excuse is shes underweight and can afford it.

Let's see... a confession... I used to steal money from my sisters, put it in the couch and pretend I 'found' it when I was little. Of course when I was finding $$$ every day, my parents figured it out. Kids are so dumb.0

I think everyone feels that way. Especially if I get lax about going then start again. And I need to go again! I feel very self-conscious until I get into my routine!0 -

That is why I don't buy men's clothing anymore. I used to but the sleeves are so long!0 -

All 20 of them if I let them!0 -
Okay I'll try another one. A few weeks ago I threw away my neighbors M&Ms in her trash can. Into a clean bag. Nothing else in it. I went back later and took a (few) handfuls back out. I feel this thread inspired me to do that.0

Crap still didn't make it.

Sigh. I guess I'll go lay down and see if some other folks post. I'll probably then miss it.0

oh I see what you are doing. I must have a cold. I am slow.0

I confess that I want to get things done tonight but I have no capacity to think or to do so my paperwork won't get done but neither will a home improvement project.0

I confess that I really hope TK gets me a romantic and meaningful Christmas (and birthday for that matter) gift. I don't have anything specific in mind, just something that he put some thought into that shows he cares. He did well last year with a necklace and earrings. I also confess that I don't know if I should remind him my birthday is coming up or not. I will not but it may come up when talking about our day - the kids and I will celebrate it while TK is traveling.0

POF, you are welcome. I did help even though I misunderstood what you were doing at first!0

I just tell myself it is ok for me to look a mess (or whatever) while I am getting in shape. I give myself permission to look weird and make faces and get sweaty because it pays off in the end.
ETA - I hope that helps you feel better. I am sure you look fine on the treadmill but really, who really cares what you look like, the great thing is that you are doing something good for you.
