    I can’t stop binging. I’m fatter than I’ve ever been in my life.
    *whisper-screams* CUT IT OFFF

    I don't know how "fat" that is, but breathe and let it go. Get a journal, write about why you're binge eating instead of binge eating. You can burn the pages later if you want, but get it out there where you can look at it and make a plan to face it.

    I weighed 225 pounds more than once in my life while I wasn't pregnant. (highest ever was 245 right before a 9 pound 3 oz boy came along.) I regularly ate whole jars of peanut butter and whole large pizzas alone. You can beat this. I know you can, but I couldn't until I rooted out the cause.

    Also, Spam is right. You shouldn't beat yourself up over your fat. I have crappy fingernails that break all the time. Why don't women beat themselves up over that? It's also a nutrition problem and I purposely bought veggies today to try to fix it. :)
    Thank you :) I think I do know why but seem to be helpless to stop it anyway. Ah, well, I’m starting again today and feeling better, and I saved calories for two shots of whiskey with dinner because I just learned that we have whiskey in the house.
    Also, I feel you on the whole jars of peanut butter. I managed to have one tablespoon today, but we’ll see how long that lasts...
    also happy birthday!! Nice that yours is so close to the new year. Perfect for new beginnings if you need them, and renewal for everything good already in your life :)
    Plus it was the wolf moon last night!
    So, you’re super magical right now.

    Ah laundry, the rate at which we create it is amazing. Today Ellie pooped up to her armpits in one sudden go, got it all over me too. It's not the squillions of baby clothes that we have to wash, it's the collateral damage to my very limited wardrobe! Gotta do a lot of washing when you only have three pairs of trousers that vaguely fit and you get puked on 12 times a day.

    I can't believe hour much I create and it's just me! I can't imagine 2 adults and 2 kids under 3.
    Same. I think I’ll just stick with dogs...

    Thanks, Quik! But I am not 100 yet! (49 for the curious and took a vacation day because I like being lazy on my birthday.)

    Didn't realize it was your birthday! Happy Birthday!!

    Taking a 4.5 day weekend may have been a bad idea. I have lost my patience with the stupid around here. I have a coworker who was complaining that there's no coffee in one of the break rooms.

    Me: is there no coffee in the supply closet?
    Jane Doe: I don't know. I didn't look.
    Me: (goes to closet, brings back coffee, dumps in drawer) Problem solved.

    Seriously? You're an adult. You have children. And you can't open a closet door to see if there's coffee in it?

    Wow. She should be glad your workplace supplies coffee. I've always had to provide my own, if I wanted any.

    Hospital dietary buys enough coffee to keep the employees caffinated. I do have a small stash at my desk in case of a delayed delivery, but I was floored that she didn't open the door and look for more coffee before she complained.

    I would've been arrested for assault. I dumped a whole case of coffee in the empty drawer.

    Ate/drank way more than I planned, (1600!) but I have a deficit for the first time in ages. Yaaaaaay. I got into a horrible, hours-long fight with my close high school friend today about social justice/antisemitism/communism/etc. etc. but managed to agree not to talk about it anymore and watch TV together. I really did miss her and she was a good friend to me in high school so it sucks that we had to fight. She's gotten more radicalized since I knew her.

    I should get a medal for all the snarky things I HAVEN'T said in all the threads out there.

    I'm playing nice, reminding myself we were all newbs once.

    Well there is a difference between being new and being foolish. But then again there are a lot of foolish people out there....

    Speaking of laundry, as well as the standard infant bodily fluids that usually complement my outfit, I added bloodstains to finish off my look today. Andrew managed to trip and bust his nose because he didn't want his trousers pulling up. He's fine but it was a dramatic mess! We had to watch a lot of 'hey duggee' to calm down.

    PS, as kids shows go, hey duggee is actually not bad! Cannot stop singing the stick song though. Whoever came up with that obviously enjoyed a rave or two in the 1990s.

    This happened at work today. First day back after being off ill for 3 days, the printer/copy machine was out of paper. All I got was "Yeah, wasn't sure where the paper is". This is a 7 room building, no bigger than a house. It wouldn't take you long to find it. 1 room is the kitchen, 2 of the rooms are toilets, 3 are offices and the last one is the Archive and Store Room. Take a wild stab where you think the paper would be?

    Cretin.
