Non-MFP/eating confession:
My most embarrassing moment is so embarrassing that I've only told three people in the eight years since it happened. I'm mostly taking it to the grave. All I'll say is that it happened in high school.
Oh, now we are dying to know!
I know it's evil of me to mention it without telling, but I just can't! It's too embarrassing! I've had quite a few of those moments, but at least I never accidentally called a teacher "mom." I have that going for me.
Haha, I've called a teacher "mom" once...maybe twice. Pretty embarrassing!
I've never done that but several years ago, I was working on several projects very closely with the Maintenance manager of our facility. Hours of spreadsheets and tracking his department's man-hours. Three times, he called me Kathy (his wife's name).
Yikes! I hope she never found out!0 -

I have to have a certain level of things in my house to feel comfortable. I stock pile all kinds of things, mostly groceries and personal cleaning products such as shampoo and body wash etc…..I also have MASS amounts of medication in the house, in fact, it was not too long ago, that I kept a large storage box of insulin in the fridge, I mean, like a years supply. I have an irrational fear of running out of something important.
My SO has this... it seems to revolve mostly around grocery items like breakfast cereals and canned goods, toilet paper and OTC medications.
I do that as well. I have tons of extra canned goods, jars of food, shampoo, cereal, hygiene products... I currently have over 6 kilos (14-ish pounds?) of oats in my storage room when I'm the only one who eats them.

I agree!! So cute!
Also @Susieq_1994, I have the Fitbit One and I love it! So, just in case you still haven't made up your mind...don't rule out the One!
I'm sure I'd love both! I just can't decide if I want to buy the one with the heart rate monitor included or not. 0 -
I have the flex and love it as well!0

Wow, indeed. I can't even imagine getting that many steps in!Glinda1971 wrote: »kelly_c_77 wrote: »Sorry for all the posting right now, I should have combined them..
Anyhow, so I ran my 13.1 miles this morning on the treadmill....but after going for my two walks with my son and being outside walking around most of the day for our neighborhood block party, I'm now up to 23.78 miles for the day! I've beaten my previous highest step count which was last year on May 31st by 6000ish...giving me a total as of right now of 45,675 steps. I've had a pretty good day. And I ate tons of "junk" food and don't even care! Happy 4th!
Wow!!

So my goals today:
10K steps - currently over 12 so good
Calories in - I'm pretty close now and still am going to have a snack or two
Housework - lots of it done.
So successful day for me.0 -

Well, I turned a negative into a positive and took advantage of my extra awake time. I hopped on the treadmill with plans to just do my regular speed walk/trot/run. But after the first few minutes, I felt pretty good(even with almost 4 extra pounds of water weight from yesterday's horrible eating) so I decided to set a goal and go for it. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! I ran my first ever half marathon! I had to stop once for a bathroom break...but otherwise, never stopped. The longest I've ever run without stopping previously was 11ish miles. So, YAY!!
And my other goal that I had posted in the Batcave the other day was to beat my highest step count which was 37,659. I should be able to crush it today because as of 6:48am, I am at 25,843.
Your step counts are awesome!0 -

LOL! One time I was fighting with my mom on the phone & then an interviewer called to let me know when my interview was & I accidentally said love you bye to them. I bet they thought what a weirdo!0 -
I once had a text from my son saying "Love you too", followed up quickly by "Sorry, that was meant for someone else"

Thanks
I find OCD is very misunderstood by a lot of people, so I like to share when I am comfortable and can. A lot of people, like someone else said, think it is just about liking things clean or organized, when in fact, some people with OCD are quite the opposite because they have some many other things going on in their head they do not have time to organize anything!

Oh wow, that could not have been easy to deal with!!quiksylver296 wrote: »@Italian_Buju Thanks for laying all that out there. It is very interesting to learn about. Some of the Obsessional stuff sounds like what I went through during Post-partum depression. I wanted to wreck my car on purpose when I was driving. I wonder if the two are somehow related?0 -

girldownsouth wrote: »@Italian_Buju thank you for sharing that. I'm pretty sure I have some tendencies, I do the repeated checking of my bag, I always used to eat all of one thing on my plate, although I have mostly managed now to stop doing that. I actually have a lot of weird things with food, which watching tv discovered a lot were things people with anorexia do, so I'm not sure how come I'm the size I am! I think a lot of mine are checking and ordering things, that I don't really realise I do. My mum knows if I've been round while she's out because if there's a pile of coins on the side it'll have been stacked in height order.
I think most people have some tendencies that can be considered OCD like.....the main difference is the focus and obsession in doing the task. It is odd though that so many people can have tendencies like that.
That worries me about the anorexia tendencies, have you talked to someone about that??0 -

Exercise, keeping busy, housework, reading, prayer... Nothing seems to help for more than an hour or so. I'm so frustrated about it right now, and I just want to cry and give up--dealing with depression is a horrible, horrible thing.
I had a great day today after getting up. I kept the house tidy, made dinner, had a nice outing and dinner with my husband, did my stairs and even got in a walk. Each time, it's a bit like my happiness meter would bounce up a little, then slowly just drain back down to nothing again. Trying to pull myself out of this funk and attempting to "fake it till I make it" is sucking me dry of energy, and I just... Don't know what to do anymore.
I only got out of bed a few hours ago, but I want to go and curl up into a ball under the covers and just stay there forever...
Sorry to be such a downer, but I just felt like I needed to get it out. I'm so sick and tired of feeling this way.
Hey I know previously you said you didn't want to take any medication for this but maybe it's time for anti depressants. I know several people who are on them or there kids are. Yes there are side effects and you need to look out for those especially the one where thoughts of suicide can happen but for those who got on them successfully they have been a life saver. Think about it.
XOXOXO
ETA messing this up again on phone!
Darn, switched to computer and realized I did the They're vs there mistake. But can't edit as its from my (now dead) phone that needs to charge. Oh, well.
I HATE when I catch mistakes WAY after the fact and cannot fix them! It drives me nuts!! I do that all the time....I even have found one today! UGH!0 -

Wow. Why didn't it go beyond that if you were attracted enough to do that? It made me smile too.
He had a current girlfriend. Oops.

Yesterday, she only ate a few bites of her dinner and definitely is wayyy more calm than her usual crazy self. This morning, she ate a teeny bit of food and then just slowly walked away...uninterested. I offered her some wet food and she ate a decent amount of it (at two separate points) a little later. She's just laying around though...so out of character. I'll watch her the rest of the day and make sure she continues eating (even if just a little) but will definitely make a vet appointment if she doesn't improve. It's so weird seeing her like this.
I hope she is feeling better. I agree with other folks...if she is not take her to a vet. It takes a lot of a cat to exhibit illness symptoms, if she is showing them she probably needs medical attention.
Thank you and @Italian_Buju (for asking earlier)...she is continuing to eat small amounts of the wet food when offered....but not interested in her regular dry food. She is drinking normally..and her trips to the litter box are normal. She has done a few things that are more her regular behavior...but she is still "off" and quite relaxed/lazy. Our vet is closed today for the holiday...but a trip to the emergency vet would never be ruled out if need be. If all stays ok for the today, we will get through today and then set up a check up at the regular vet for tomorrow to have her looked at.
How is she feeling tonight? Any changes??0
