Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

Looks like we all survived the weekend. Aside from it being the cooler side of Hades in Texas this weekend, I lost track of my eating. We all do it sometimes. It's just time for me to get back on track and make some better choices. I hate seeing the scale jump about four pounds when I know my intake was NOT that high. Dang sodium!!!0

Jealousy is a curse, other Susieq!!
@MelissaPhippsFeagins thanks for the kind words. You're right, I shed it once and I can do it again. I'm just so angry at myself.. I didn't even want the food - I felt sick and I was over full and I was sitting there thinking 'this is ruining all my good work and it's not even worth it !'0 -
My confession of today is that I have gone NINE days without alcohol. And I find myself craving it, which is scaring me a little bit. I know a couple of you are recovering alcoholics. I figure if I can do nine days, I can go without completely. It was becoming a bit too much of a crutch. Plus, it was tons of empty calories, right?
I'm really trying to talk myself into continuing this streak, rather than diving into a margarita or three.0 -

One thing that helped me was to pick up something in both hands that I didn't want to get food on - an actual paper book or a load of clean laundry to fold. If that didn't/doesn't help, I walk the dog. Yes, I have walked my dog at midnight and even at 2am.0 -
I made blueberry muffins, and because I knew I wouldn't be able to leave them alone, I took one and put the rest in the boot of my husbands car, rang him when he got to work, and told him to share them out. he wasn't happy because he ate four of them.
LOL! How many did he have left to share?
I always take foods I don't enjoy & throw them in the break room. Most of the time it's packages of cookies I wasn't wild about (S'Mores Oreos & Key Lime Pie Oreos), Atkins bars, or other sweet treats I buy & don't care for.
One day I brought in these
I found these utterly repulsive & thought maybe someone else would like them. Everyone who tried them hated them except for one coworker.MissSusieQ wrote: »Susieq_1994 wrote: »Editing to add: I'm jealous that your Q is capitalized.

I hate when I eat something that I used to like & then realize it wasn't that great to begin with & such a waste of calories. I find that I usually feel this way about donuts, a lot of cheap baked goods (Tastykake, Hostess, Etc.), & milkshakes. I like to eat milkshakes every now & then, but then I realize that for the amount of calories they're a waste & I could've ate more satiating food instead.0 -

There are TWO of me, you guys!
Welcome to the thread, other SusieQ! 
Editing to add: This confession sounds very much like something I would do. I'm sure you're not alone!
Mind blown!!!

Cookie dough, chocolate peanut butter and cookies and creme are my faves. White chocolate raspberry was good too. Not a single one was gross and I never felt like I had to choke one down. This is a new staple for me.
Ha! Another convert! My mission to win over the world, one Quest bar at a time. Now if you would just LOVE the Lemon Cream Pie flavor, I would be one step closer... 0 -

September 3rd starts USC's (and I don't mean California!) season and I can't wait!!! Hubby is in Charlotte at the Panthers fanfest for his birthday, (he's 26 today!) I'm so ready for football season!!
Y'all, I am just gonna apologize now because @raelynnsmama52512 and I are SEC fans and we can be obnoxious about our football. I was raised to love God, my family, sweet tea and the SEC!!!
Pshh, who you telling?! Lol! Trust me, Gamecock football is a RELIGION in our family! Basically, on Saturday we're all useless because we're all watching the game, screaming at our TVs about a bad call, and cussing the refs haha! (You could also apply that to hockey as well!) I'm a bad fan, I've never been to a USC game, but hubby has already vowed to change that this year lol! I have no shame, I get pretty obnoxious haha! God, family, friends, and SEC football, that's all you really need in life.
We ring cowbells in our house when State scores. And I am apologizing in advance to everyone here because I can't help talking football...
I despise football. Sorry.
I cannot process this statement. It does not compute. 0 -

Real Chinese food, in China, is freakin' amazing. And nothing like the American version.0 -

And apparently a bit worried Mo will delete you!
Of course!

Rent them, or buy used. Check Amazon.0 -

check the noticeboards at uni, most students will be selling their old books. I always put mine on ebay, some of my textbooks cost over £100, but in law, the lecturers will always tell you to buy the newest edition, so some became worthless after a year.

But as one last post...I for sure thought I was going to have gained at least 5 pounds this week but somehow I stayed the same weight! I'm so happy.
I'm going to ruin it today though since I had Starbucks (since it's my Friday) and I'm going to eat fast food for lunch while getting my oil changed. :-P
I will post more if anyone else is around but otherwise, hope everyone has a good weekend since I probably won't be around much after 11 (mountain time).
Get skinny Starbucks, sugar free syrup, so not calorie intense, but same great taste
I've never tried that but I've been curious. Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm way behind but glad to be catching up.0 -

Checking in, having a good day today, which makes for 5 good days in a row. Double bonus because I am at work today. I don't usually work Fridays, but am earning extra £££ for our holiday, so small sacrifice.
Had a lovely long walk along the river with @girldownsouth yesterday.
No plans for the weekend, beyond chilling out a bit, cooking a bit, swimming a bit, and chilling out a bit more. Which sounds wasteful of time off. But believe me it'll be such a welcome change from running round after a 2 year old every weekend.
I'm so glad you are doing okay/better.
I'm still jealous that you are able to walk with a fellow poster. Super jealous even!0 -

I'm really trying to talk myself into continuing this streak, rather than diving into a margarita or three.
Skip the margaritas, out the $ in a jar and on day 31, go spend it on something worthwhile.

You can do it!

Good for you!
I know too well how hard this is. We have free food around work all the time. I always want some but I almost always say no.

I decreased my drinking when I realized how crappy I felt afterwards. I can do ONE beer, with 87* glasses of water and feel alright, but skip the water or increase the alcohol and my brain's on fire the next day. Totally not worth it.
I can't help much for the dependency, since I've never been a daily drinker, but I found a reason it wasn't worth a regular appearance. I'd much rather chew my calories!
ETA: Spelling is hard.

So, the official weigh in was down 1 pound to 156. As long as I am between 155-160, I don't worry about it much. I still don't get losing after eating the way I did Friday & Saturday, though.0
