Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

This is the story of my life! It started when I was on Ambien years ago and I think I Night binged so long that my body still hasnt broken the habit. If I go for a few days without sugar I'll find myself up in the middle of the night discovering cookies I forgot I even bought.Sometimes, I eat in bed and don't even remember. I wake up in the morning wondering why I'm not hungry, and then, I'm sad when I remember.

Have you tried Gelato? It is seriously addicting!!

My impulse control is so bad when it comes to soda that I do not carry any money with me unless I know that I am going to need it; no cash, no cards, no checkbook.
Solidarity, brother! I had to take the same approach to get myself to stop eating fast food lunches every day. And sometimes fast food breakfasts. And the occasional fast food snack on the way home from work, you know, pre-dinner. My favorite was the day I had McD's breakfast, Wendy's lunch, BK snack, McD's dinner.0 -

I could never do such a thing because I could never buy a donut, much less a dozen--way too embarrassing.
I have a co-worker who's a runner and used be a ballerina. When she's irritating me I buy Chicken in a Biscuit crackers (I'm not tempted) and Peanut Butter M&Ms (tempting, but if I eat them there are less for her) on the front desk. She complains as she inhales them and I don't feel one bit guilty.
Awesome and terrible at the same time, but way more awesome than terrible.0 -

If you're really interested, there's a whole DIY Soylent movement. I've heard you can get all the ingredients pretty cheap if you're willing to buy them in bulk and mix it yourself. I'm not sure what people mean by "cheap," though.0 -

I used to cut and paste links to show people their own foolishness, but I'm on an outdated version of Firefox (and too lazy to fix it) and there's a conflict with Facebook, so I can't cut and paste in the comments. I'm forced to type out any links I want to reference.
Confession: I'm such an *kitten* with my need to correct disinformation that I will type out full links, sometimes a hundred characters long, into comments because dammit(!), someone on the internet is wrong!0 -

I'm ok if we physically split it first though, but otherwise I get pissed if they eat the best bite or something (or eat all the ice cream/whipped cream)... and I'd just rather not have any.
I refuse to share food with people at the movies. Especially popcorn. One person has to hold it, then the person holding it eats most of it. And then the person not holding the bag has to awkwardly reach into the other person's lap to grab some. And if both people reach at the same time it leads to hand bumping and... ugh. I just hate it. We'll each get our own popcorn and be happier.
Confession: I turn into a total pig at the movies. I LOVE LOVE LOVE movie theatre popcorn and shovel it in as fast as a I can. I end up dropping a lot of it too. Some ends up down my shirt, some on the floor, and I've even found a piece that somehow ended up in my hoodie pocket. That's another reason people shouldn't share with me - you might lose a hand!
Movie popcorn is the best thing in the entire world. Next time try it with MMs plain. 1-2 MMs to 4-5 popcorn and chew it up for max yummies! Once I really wanted popcorn but there was no movie I wanted to see so I went, got it and came back to a Netflix movie on my couch. My dog was thrilled when I stood up 2 hours later and she got the fallen ones.
I've done that
Except I made the mistake of dumping the M&M's directly in the popcorn bag. Of course they all sank to the bottom and I made myself sick on popcorn trying to find them.
While I haven't done it (yet), I'm not against stopping at the theatre to buy popcorn to go!
I have thought about this more times than I care to admit, but still have yet to actually go through with it. Maybe the next time we run a Netflix marathon, I'll ask my hubby to go get me some movie theater popcorn...extra butter.

I really, really, miss pre-dinner sometimes. I'm still in mourning for all the bad habits I had to stop.0 -
When I would eat fast food, I would stop at one chain for a snack to have while I waited in line at the other for dinner. Bean Burrito's while I waited for Double cheeseburgers seems legit right?0

I dine out fairly often with a longterm male friend who does not care for sweets and rarely manages to finish his entrée... when asked if he wants to order dessert, he always declines... yet the dessert I order turns up with two spoons/forks.
This is not someone with whom I normally swap saliva (thanks for assuming we're in an intimate relationship...) and I really don't want to share germs with him. I haven't shared the rest of my meal or beverage with him. And did you not hear him say he DIDN'T WANT DESSERT??
Confession: preconceived notions and assumptions drive me batty.
I normally understand the restaurant POV on this--I normally do try to share desserts and it's common for someone to get one and offer a taste to everyone else in my circles, but on my sister's birthday last year I took her out to a restaurant and since we have different taste in desserts we each decided to get one. The server said "oh, you probably don't want two, our desserts are large and meant to be shared." Thanks for shaming us! We went ahead and got both.
How big was it? Last time I shared something with my husband the server said it was really for one person and we shared it... and it was plenty for two! Two brownies, one scoop of ice cream and some whipped cream. I don't know in what world that woman thought it was a 'one person' dessert with two brownies (I only shared that day because I had been craving brownies but didn't want to blow 800 calories on dessert).52cardpickup wrote: »I hate splitting dishes with people.

Splitting food is full of nope. I won't touch something if someone else has. It freaks me out. I can't even leave my drink sitting around at a family party because just the idea that someone else accidentally sipped from it freaks me out.
I was tricked into splitting nachos with an acquaintance at a gathering a number of years back. No joke, he ate 90% of the plate by scooping them with his hands directly into gaping mouth. He then proceeded to pay for EXACTLY (down to the penny) half of the nachos (no tip), and had the nerve to ask me whether I was going to eat the scraps that remained.
Hahaha I'm getting annoyed just reading this. Ugh. I hate when parties split the bill equally. I remember once when I had a $7 salad and I ended up having to pay $10 towards the $25 entree that the other people got. I wasn't happy about it. If it was the other way around, I would feel bad for making them pay more than their share.
This reminds me of an episode of Friends. That's a great story, can I eat it?!

It is supposed to arrive by end-of-day Pacific today. This morning it was in India. Now it is in Germany. I don't have much hope!

berlynnwall wrote: »I don't know how to have a healthy relationship with food
I restrict myself to under 1,000 for most of the week, then end up binging because I get SO hungry. I know I'm setting myself up for failure, but I'm too scared to eat more than 1,000 every day. Because of this I never actually lose weight. My weight will go down when I restrict and then right back up when I end up over eating 
I feel so ashamed when I give in and binge. I just hate my body & don't know how to accept it if I eat regularly
Not judging, but that is very bad for your body. Most women need at *least* 1200 calories - those who don't are very very short. I know you are worried, but if your ticker is correct and you only have a few pounds too lose, you really can eat more than you are and still have success. Instead of binging at the end of the week, just work a few extra things in every day little by little. You can do this.
I agree. I was going to suggest to write out a plan and don't think about it; just do it:
Day 1 eat 1025 cals.
Day 2 eat 1050 cals.
Day 3 eat 1100 cals. etc.
Or, increase every 3 days instead (Day 1 - 3 1025 cals.; Day 4 - 6 1050 cals., etc.) And tell yourself on those days that this will help you not over do it on the weekends and when the weekend comes, remind yourself that you are already increasing your calories and will have more available to you so no need to binge.
Easier said than done, I know, but I hate to see people struggle like you are. Just take it step-by-step.0 -

They can't put anything on the internet that's not true.

If it's any consolation, I started higher than they did, but now I'm a little less than my highest-weight friend.

"Fact checking" are words that do not exist in a lot of people's vocabulary these days. However, "overs share immediately" seem to be very common. (Not true of everyone, of course; just an annoying few.)0 -

Does he know this? If so, what does he say? My personal opinion is that as long as he is fully committed to you then that is great. BUT, if marriage is very important to you then I hope you two can work it out because 11 years is a long time! Good luck!0 -

Messed.
Not messed.
I'd say at least 60% of my motivation is just to look great, aka have a six pack.
Thing is, I'm a very modest person and never go without a shirt so it would be strictly for my wife's visual enjoyment and for my own personal satisfaction. Except for a handful of dudes who may see me change clothes, no one else would ever see it.
Another 15% is that losing the weight and increasing my activity level has just made me feel better and given me more energy/endurance when it comes to sports (pickup basketball with the guys, etc.).
The last 25% is that we're planning to start a family and I want to be as strong as a stinkin' lowlands silverback gorilla so that if we have boys a) they know not to mess with Dad and b) they have a strong healthy example for how to take care of themselves. Also so that if we have girls a) they always know they have a safe place in Daddy's arms and b) so that every punk who wants to date them understands that they had better tread carefully.
Honestly though, the closer I get to reaching my goals and the closer we get to starting a family...the percentages are shifting.0 -
