    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.

    If you find it pass it over to me. I'm at my wits end and nothing fits.

    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.

    Now that is motivation. I lost weight a few years ago because my blood pressure was creeping up. No way was I going on blood pressure meds like the rest of my family. I want anywhere near that but it was enough to scare me into getting it together.

    I'm glad I found this thread. I feel a lot less alone than I did. :) So I have one. I stopped tracking for a few years and put quite a bit of the weight back on. Have been back for a month, but I can't bring myself to put the real number in the MyFP weight. So every time I lose two pounds IRL I mark down half a pound lost on MyFP. Eventually the real number and the MyFP number will be the same. I know I should just suck it up and put the real number in MyFP, but I just can't.

    I think this is genius. I actually weigh more than MFP says I do, and I can't make myself change it.

    Me three. I'm not far...but far enough.

    I change it a while ago because it still had me at my weight from 4 years sgo and I lost all that weight, so it was still registering a loss. I wanted to motivate myself. Now it just says I have lost zero because I have gone up not down.

    I confess to eating spoons of frosting and logging it as alcohol because alcohol is more socially acceptable than standing in your fridge eating frosting.

    I log alcohol as lemonade sometimes.

    I can't really laugh about this, because I once had to pee so bad when I went on a walk with my sister through a development that she lived near that I had to go pee in a wooded area around a few houses.

    I have read about that person. I have had to go on runs. I just walk til the need passes. I sure doubt go on people's lawns! Something is wrong with that person.

    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.

    I'm so sorry, LeeAnn.

    Can someone please explain to me why my employee health survey has questions about my finances on it? I so desperately want to tell them, "if you think we might be stressed about our finances, just pay us more;" unfortunately, there was no space for comments.
    I confess that I am very unhappy with HR right now.

    That is weird. Maybe your ability to pay a premium?

    I am lost. It has to have come from the money side of HR, but I am lost.

    Well I am personally glad you are here. I've been missing you.
    Maybe you need this time to get set for the day.

    Thanks. I finally got my butt out of bed and headed to barn. Stuck behind 10 cars at the DD drive thru. All beachgoers I am sure.

    Assassin cat has gifted me with a chipmunk, a mouse and 2 birds this week. Both birds were half grown. I'm guessing he raided a nest. I got in trouble from the condo board again for feeding him as they took a picture of the dead chipmunk and cat food bowls and sent it to me with a cease and desist on feeding the cat. I had to bring the bowls in and am now just dumping the cat food in the patio floor.

    Cattlecat has gone a bit loopy lately. Yesterday he decided that I was not paying enough attention to him. So while I was doing yoga he placed himself between my arms as I was doing downward facing dog and started licking my fingers. When I started lowering down he moved about 10 feet with his back to me. He would turn and periodically look at me then when I had finished my group of salutations to the sun he ran at me. I think he was trying to jump up and gram at my hand but missed and planted his claws into my leg. then went off and did something else when I yelped.

    I guess the good thing about getting to work at 3:00 a.m. is that I get to leave at 11:00 a.m. But it's currently 7:00 and I'm already exhausted. A nap is definitely in my future.

    As a detective why did you need to go in so early? I thought you did more office work?

    Surveillance. Trying to track down someone. Normally I can just internet stalk them, but it wasn’t working with this one.

    I ate a package of goldfish crackers and had a foot long Subway sandwich with mayo yesterday. I gained 3lbs yesterday. :(

    I usually try to be smart and order a medium...but sometimes I give in and just get the large, Mine is just cheese though (that makes it a little better, right?).
    I sometimes wonder how I went 10 years without real pizza when I was vegan. I didn't miss it though. Strange.

    I don't really miss anything having gone vegan. It's just a mind thing.

    I didn't miss much at the time either.
    I do think that being vegan these days would be so much easier too. There are so many more substitutions now. And restaurants have so many more options for vegans without needing to ask them to omit things or make a million changes. Back when I was vegan, It was challenging to eat out..or to even find things at regular grocery stores.

    That's not real weight gain. I would bet sodium but you in the butt.

    I still have to get special orders almost everywhere if it's not a burger type place that has vegan food. It did sort of take the joy out of eating out. Sometimes you get an awesome meal. Sometimes you get a plate of vegetables.

    Assassin cat rubbed all over my hand feeding him the AM the sat back and swatted me. I think he was telling me not to get too comfortable with affection, he's still feral.

    Yeah, eating at restaurants wasn't very exciting at that time for me either. Now, being back to just vegetarian, it's so much easier (and exciting again). And we're lucky to live in an area with a lot of restaurants (not chains) that offer quite a few vegetarian/vegan options..without making any adjustments.

    Our cats love getting under me when I'm working out. Weirdos.

    I only have a couple of proper dresses for Ellie as she wears a lot if Andrew's old stuff. But I am trying to put her in them as often as possible right now because she looks like she might crawl soon and they'd be a hindrance to that.

    It really annoys me that so much girl stuff is impractical because apparently being pretty is more important than actually being able to move properly. I never had to think about this with my son - all his clothes and shoes allowed him to walk and crawl and stomp to his heart's content. But I'm noticing more and more that it's not so with girl stuff. Shoes that don't offer any actual protection, dresses that get in the way of crawling, but they are so pretty.

    The inequality and societal expectations start early! Rant over.

    Provided you don't mind foregoing the 'Little Princess' stuff written across girls clothes and the 'I'm a Little Monster' stuff written across boys clothes there seem to be a reasonable amount of gender neutral outfits around nowadays. Some UK stores have stoppped having boys and girls departments and just have childrens wear. Our girls will not have a gender identity crisis if they don't wear pink ;)

    I'm in the UK but I'm fairly rural so only have a couple of shops to choose from. Luckily my mum knows me well and provides me with some funky stuff!

    Do you find that a lot of the people you have to "stalk" don't have social media profiles/low media presence due to their criminal activities or use fake aliases on social media platforms?

    I only ate 900 the previous two days cause I wasn't hungry much which was strange. I find that when it's extremely hot I don't have much of an appetite.

    900 a day? Or 900 total 450 a day?
