Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

My confession is that I bought a chocolate bar at lunch to save in my purse for emergencies.
And then ate it immediately because it was just that kind of day.
So dinner is cucumber and tomatoes if I want to get drinks later... I make good life decisions >_>;;;4 -

Or just shrug it off, tomorrow is a new day!
I confess that yesterday I ate almost a full bulk sized bag of dried mangoes with dark chocolate. My poop today was AWESOME because of it haha2 -

Mmmmm marshmallow fluff and nutella on toast
It's a really good thing I don't have any of these things right now because I'm hangry and out of calories for the day.
I hate when reading random threads gives me cravings I didn't even know I still had......

That's a great weight loss!kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »Just been plugging along with weight loss for the second time & have been back on track since July 20th. I've gone from around 239 (I think that was some sodium, bloating, etc. from my massive binges around that time) to 209 & some odd ounces today. For the time being I'm trying to average around a two pound loss per week, but once I get closer to 190ish I'll move it to around 1.5-1 pound a week. Today I had what I called a mini eat what I want day (I called it that after the fact) & demolished a whole bag of White Pumpkin Pie M&Ms. Instead of letting it defeat my spirits & want to start a massive binge I just figured out what I could eat calorie wise for the rest of the week to try & aim for a two pound weight loss.
M&M's are really hard to resist. The other day I got some caramel pack to share with hubby. H said he would eat them with me. He does not eat between meals. He often eats one meal a day.
I had a hard time waiting to open the bag but I abstained. After we ate I opened the bag and offered some to him. He told me he was to full
Guess who ate the whole bag.
When it comes to food, hubby and I are opposites. Last time I buy something counting on him eating half.1 -

So for now it's a secret. Also, I'm in the phase of lurking in these forums way too much in the hopes that this will make me somehow lose weight faster (I know it won't.)
Careful, while lurking you may learn of fantastic treats that you never knew about. Then there will be another treat to think about.0 -
I tried to sell myself on the idea that eating a HUGE spoonful (3-4 tablespoons) of peanut butter and then sprinkling chocolate chips and sometimes banana slices on the spoon as i ate it was a "healthy" 10PM snack....but it's like 400 calories of fat and sugar. I only recently began logging this transgression.
That sounds delicious!0 -

They don't have peanut butter in Russia? Are you seriously in Russia?
I actually brought a huge jar with me but I've already finished it T_T
You could always try and make it yourself? I know it might not be the same, but it could be a good substitute.
At least it is only a semester. Stay safe, I'm not sure I would go to Russia
A mix of dry roasted peanuts and honey roasted peanuts makes a great peanut butter3 -
Update: I found a huuuge shopping center that does have peanut butter! With an American flag on the jar, no less.
I may or may not have eaten 400 cals of PB from the jar with a spoon as breakfast.7 -
It's been a stressful week so I decided that on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays my deficit can just be 500.1

That's reasonable. What's your deficit the rest of the week. (nosey question, feel free not to answer)
P. S. I am glad you found peanut butter.0 -
At the moment it's 1000 but I'm not too strict about it. :-)MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »SoulOfRusalka wrote: »It's been a stressful week so I decided that on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays my deficit can just be 500.

Too strict can lead to failure as fast as too easy-going.

Even though I binged yesterday I had a veggie burger and fries for lunch today. It was just grilled vegetables and onions and lettuce on a whole-wheat bun with walnut sauce. I think I saw the face of God. I think I understand why people like fast food now...0

That is so odd. I figured peanut butter is something you would find everywhere!0 -

And I've never had a PB & brown sugar sandwich but it sounds awesome...
Try it. You're going to love it.
I've been on a "food I ate as a kid" kick. Marshmallows and peanut butter melted together and eaten with a spoon? Yeah. Three times this week. Out of marshmallows now and am NOT going to buy more.
Every time I try foods I ate as a kid I'm disappointed. They never taste as good as I remember.
Agreed.
I swear things used to be bigger as well. I remember having and icecream cookie sandwich thing once at Disneyland and it was HUGE. I bought it again like 10 years later and it was tiny. 
The old shrink the portions instead of raising the price to trick them....many times over since you were a kid!0 -

One of my biggest binge triggers is fear of wasting food...
I discovered this upon realizing that I was eating 3 servings of fries out of the sink just so that they wouldn't end up in the garbage.0 -

Neither do I. The average age of my three sons is 16. They all ate at least three full meals yesterday and they all said they were starving at 9:30 last night. "Too bad, I am not cooking again." No one who eats three American meals in a day is starving.0 -

I have a 19 year old son who eats just about everything that isn't nailed down in the house. If I have anything left over, I have to mark it 'Eat upon pain of death' if I want to save it for lunch the next day!

When I was a kid, my French cousins always used to request peanut butter when they visited us in England. Peanut butter has only became a mainstream thing in Europe in recent times! I never had it as a kid.0 -
Andrew has not a clue! He quite likes my big belly, and is surprisingly cute and gentle with it, but I don't think he realises there's an actual baby in there. He is very oblivious to younger kids. He is very good with animals though, so I'm hoping that transfers over when he realises this baby is here to stay.2 -

Hugs! I demolished a lot of food yesterday (damn TOM)!
I had ice cream, icing, & Bugles, & pizza (I forget some of the other food).1 -
Patricia, I got your card the other day. Thank you so much. It meant a lot to me to know you are thinking of us. It's been better, but still a big mess here. Lots of debris still needing to be picked up and the county can only get so much at a time. We did find a property that remained dry during the flood event and purchased it. Just waiting for closing now. After getting sheet rock and all out of the house and replacing that, the bathrooms need work. Most of this will be easier once we move out and there is more room to tear down and fix and repair. I am hoping to sell the house as it hasn't had water other than this event. If the drainage in our neighborhood was better, I don't think we would have flooded. We had three inches throughout the house, lots more had it worse.
for the new house that remained unscathed during the hurricane. 1 -

Eh, we all have something like that. Mine is peanut butter. I don't like hazelnut so Nutella is not a problem for me.
Speaking of hazelnut, I put on a pink t-shirt and shorts yesterday after work and then stopped at my coffee shop (the one I have been going to since 2007, locally owned, everyone knows me). The barista on duty said "you look good in pink, why don't you wear it?" I said, "So my inner Mean Girl can ambush people, but it's Wednesday, so make me a Mean Girl latte." He made me a skim pumpkin spice latte with a pump of hazelnut, for bitterness. LOL.
Mel that is freaking hilarious!
Almost spit out my Diet Mountain Dew!1 -

Save it for a day that you have a lot of extra calories from exercise & log it on the food scale in a bowl to ensure accuracy.
Sounds amazing sans the banana slices.0
