Hang in there quik!!! This will sort itself out. You can fix it. I know when I get on a jag where I eat and eat, it's hard to stop, but you will find a point where enough is enough. If TOM is around, that is probably it.
Nope. Just over.
I gotta find something to flip the switch back to weight loss mode. I want to eat all the things all the time.3 -
I feel ya. I did that right before I went to the doc and was told my numbers made me diabetic. I have three months to correct it somewhat and see if she wants me on any meds.2

Woohoo @becky3695 !!
My ubereating Sunday night was deleted by this morning, too. I think my TOM was this week...it's hard to tell with Mirena because it's rather erratic except for sore boobs and weird carb eating urges.3 -

As my eyes registered what it was I started to geek out realizing it was a black bear. In PA we do have a lot of black bears, but in my whole life that was the first time I have spotted one in the wild. I'm thinking it was a cub & I was more relieved it didn't run out on the road. I hope it made it safe wherever it was going to. Thank God it wasn't a Mountain Lion/Cougar, because big cats for some reason freak me out. What animals/insects freak you guys out? I would say mine would be big cats, alligators, snakes, & spiders.
Another black bear cub in a more populated town got up in a tree & they had to tranquilize it & relocate it to a safer environment.
@Italian_Buju do you ever see Grizzlies/Brown Bears up in Canada?
Not in the city. I supposed I might if I went camping or something....but I hate camping because I do not work hard all year so I can spend my time off living like a homeless person

Me: (looks at flashing red light on paper tray) "It's out of paper."
Sometimes customers make me want to scratch my head.
The dumbest thing to this day (nothing beats it) was the guy I helped at service desk & after I was finished with the transaction he looked at me & asked if Walmart was open today. Um, really? If we were closed would I be helping you out? Would you be able to even come into the store?
A cart pusher had someone ask what the difference between the big & little carts were. I would've had to bite my tongue, because I would have been like the big cart you can put more stuff in & the little cart a little less.
Last week I had a lady come in to do Western Union, and she had hundred dollar bills, which we do not accept. When I told her I could not take them, she asked what she should do. I suggested she go somewhere to exchange them for smaller bills, and she asked if I could do that for her. That was so stupid it made my eyes squint.....

I don't even know what triggered it, but I feel like every word anyone says around me is a needle poking my skin. I am trying really hard to make myself stay at work, but I don't know if I actually can today.
I've been lethally *kitten*y for about three days now. I don't know why. It's too early for PMS. I'm just in bite-your-head-off-for-anything-and-everything mode.
This is autism. Pure and simple. And why I shouldn't really be anyone's boss. I am seriously considering asking my immediate manager if I can leave at 12 and come back at 5 to finish my day.
I keep having people recently telling me to put in for the CSM job at work & I keep saying no. I had a manager that everyday would tell me to put in for it & another higher up position, but I just don't think I could handle all of the stress that comes along with it. Sometimes it's hard enough for me to juggle all of the stuff thrown at me already & at times I get snappy with my supervisors, because it can get overwhelming. It's flattering that so many people feel I could handle it, but dealing with all of the associate issues & the customers is just not worth the headaches.
I have ADD & I'm sure OCD to an extent so it can be a struggle at times to simply focus on one task let alone juggling everything.
I understand totally!0 -
I would never want to be a people-manager. I'm an excellent individual contributor, and that's how I want it to stay.3

You're going to get back on track. You just has a big competition, your body may need extra to heal up. Chocolate and maple bars may not be the best choice, but I know you will sort that out.2 -

Cutting down from 10 Cigarettes a day to roughly 20 a week is a good start. Still burning a hole in my pocket waste of money + not good for health.
Good for you! Any progress is better than none!
I smoked for ten years and quit 20 years ago now. I would play tennis with a smoke hanging out of my mouth! However, now I cannot even stand to be around it, so not sure how I did that.
During trying to quit, I found I wanted to smoke every weekend at the bar, that is when you could smoke in bars....so in the end, I actually had to quit drinking to successfully quit smoking.
Good luck!

It's my Thursday as well. My uncle passed over the weekend and the funeral is Thursday. Bad heart and no insurance to be able to care for himself.
The bolded is sad, especially if he missed out on procedures that could improve quality as well as quantity of life. May his memory live on in your heart.
I'm finding it desperately difficult not to comment on this. Let's just say I find it astonishing and appalling that somebody would be denied commonplace treatments due to personal finances in a developed country. You have all my sympathy, and I'm forever grateful for the NHS.

I hope everyone is well!
I have been crazy busy so do not get on much except to do my daily challenge list.
Between work, the gym and board stuff, I hardly have time for anything else!2 -

It was ugly in there today. I was driven to a no bake oatmeal cookie for lunch.
Chocolate covers a multitude of tired.
That sounds like my idea of hell. Which is a bit ironic, don'tcha think?
Ha welcome to my life!

I did think of you a couple of times while I was teaching this week.

I need to be reminded to never ask my daughter for help again. It always ends in a fight. (And she is just going to have to learn the hard way that I am not inclined to help people who are not helpful.)2

I ate 4700 calories on Friday.2

Confession: I made my niece & two nephews a mug cake from a box (Betty Crocker new mug cakes) & it came with frosting packets or it was supposed to. I ate the frosting packets a few months ago. They were like, "where's the frosting packets?"
"Um, I already ate them!"4 -
My niece is obsessed with these videos.

Every time she sees the pigs bare butt she screams (for some reason her laugh is a scream). 2 -
Aw, man. I left my dark chocolate squares at home.
I have been careful to work the chocolate into my calories so that I don't feel deprived, but it doesn't bode well for my first day back from vacation that I want it at 9:30 or that I left it.
I might have to go to the hospital gift shop and buy some. (They have the good dark chocolate; the vending machine has milk chocolate that is not nearly as satisfying. Plus my purchase goes to support the volunteer staff that directs visitors and delivers cards, flowers and therapy pets around the hospital. )3 -
I just received the service excellence award at work today!8

One MUST support such honorable endeavors!
Buy chocolate, lots of chocolate.2 -

Frosting? You mean these things are suppose to have frosting? Are you sure?

I usually buy clothes there instead of chocolate. I actually ended up with Reese cups because my blood sugar dropped like a rock after I walked outside at lunch. I was actually afraid I would pass out before I made it to the gift shop. So I settled for the vending machine.

I know it's not what you were aiming for, but I find this quite impressive.1 -
Baby Ellie is nearly 7 months old (how!!??) and has FINALLY taken a minor interest in food today. A full 30g (1oz) of mushed veg was consumed in one sitting today without constantly spitting it out or crying. My boobs might get a rest one day.
My confession - I know I'm supposed to feel sad about leaving my babies for the first time, but actually I can't wait. I'd love three hours on my own!6
