    Confession: I might just park my happy a-s online for the morning until it's walking time later on. It's cold(er) out, some wind, won't be all that enjoyable but I will go later on. Until then me = lazy right now.

    I confess that sometimes I go into threads and start typing out a response that I think will help the OP, and then a little voice in my head says, "they're not going to listen to you anyway" and I always delete what I've written.

    I've done that, too. I'm not sure why I waste my time in the first place.

    I've done that. I think I hit the backspace key more than the enter (post reply) button. Sometimes I figure why bother with (some) people, other times I just don't want to put *myself* out there.

    I do this pretty regularly. I also do it on FB. I've corrected people enough in the past that I know which friends are receptive to it and which aren't. I still want to do it but usually don't.

    New Avatar, "All We Are Saying Is Give Peeps A Chance"

    @AgentOrangeJuice‌

    This just cracked me up...at work...guess the jig is up that I'm actually working.

    It's going to be a hard one to top, that's for sure. I've been thinking about it for all night.

    Time well spent, my friend.

    I'll never understand people who say that they are not hungry for dessert.

    I always tell people- "my dinner compartment may be full, but my dessert compartment is empty!". So I guess I consider myself to be like a cow, with multiple stomachs for different types of food. :blush:

    Confession: Sometimes I think something must be wrong with me. I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 11 years but he won’t marry me. I don’t want to be one of those girls that nags someone to get married. I know it is just a paper but it is something I actually want in life.

    I completely understand this. I have been with my SO for 17+ years. 2 kids, a house and a dog...seriously married in real life but never had a wedding. Some days I am very sad that I don't get to be the Princess for a day (and I am not a girlygirl so this surprises me) and other days I am glad I didn't spend money on a wedding. My father passed away when I was younger so I always envisioned myself walking solo to the alter but now that my FIL is sick and will possibly be gone in the next year, I think about asking him to walk me instead and I know I am running out of time if I want this to happen. Each day brings a new decision.

    I'm sorry. I hope everything works out for you as well! That is so sad. :(

    I think that is another big thing. I got to see my dad walk my sister down the aisle and he isn't getting any younger. My SO lost his father a few years ago and it makes me sad to think that I may never get to have my dad walk me down the aisle like my sister did.

    I'm the same way though, I don't want a big wedding. I'm happy where I am but at the same time I'm sad. I'm torn. Like you said though, we are basically married as it is. Live together, pay bills together, working on starting a business together.

    Sad confession: I see people post a lot about snacking on a spoon of peanut butter, or peanut butter with chocolate chips. Decided to try it, wasn't all that, or a bag of chips.

    Think I'll stick with the chocolate mousse.

    Confession: I know I'm weird, but although I like the flavor of peanut butter and don't mind it at all with some chocolate or in a protein bar, I don't like the texture on its own, and the idea of just eating a big spoonful of peanut butter (or any kind of nut butter, probably) makes me cringe. It seems like the most disappointing use of calories.

    Nuts, on the other hand, are great.

    Confession 1: I'm so happy that the class I teach was canceled. Now I can catch up on this thread. Over 20 pages of it. :smile:

    Confession 2: I just spent 2.5 hours cleaning and wore my ankle weights the whole time.

    I'm avoiding visiting my mother, partly because she always makes some comment about my weight. I don't think she's being malicious, or that she even realises she's doing it, but it makes me feel like crap when I was previously quite happy with my progress. And I know it won't stop when I reach goal, because she's always been like this even when I was slimmer. I think she's just uncomfortable about her own (perfectly healthy) weight and is projecting.

    It's rubbish that I allow this to comes between us, but I can't bring myself to have this discussion with her because of all the awkwardness that will ensue. I'm sure I'll regret this some day.

    I understand. You're not the only one.

    I'm avoiding visiting my mother because she's crazy. She's in poor health, crazy about weight loss, is destituting herself giving money she doesn't have to a "church"...I'm at a loss. She's been on a crazy diet my entire life. One after another, and never seemed to lose weight. I actually credit these weird diets with her health issues. She's very, very negative about her own weight as well as everyone else's. My 12 year old daughter is probably 5'8" & wears a size 3-5. My mom even comments on her weight then back tracks and says that she doesn't want to cause her to develop an eating disorder. *sigh* I have to limit my contact with her for my own mental health. I get panic attacks if I have too much contact with her.

    Confession: I went to visit her Monday to help her clean (borderline hoarder) & when I came home, I cried on my husband for two hours. Once everyone went to bed, I paced the house and drank half a bottle of whiskey. Woke up at 1am and started vomiting. Ugh! I have never drank until I was sick.... so embarrassing. I'm just so upset that I can't help her. :(

    I can't eat jello, or gelatinous foods, the texture totally freaks me out.

    Also, you can't touch my collar bones, totally skeeves me out, like my gag reflex will go off and it'll induce vomiting.

    If I'm expecting a food to be soft when I bite it, like a cheeseburger, and there is a huge crunchy onion or piece of lettuce in there, I can't eat it anymore. And it's not that I don't like crunchy food, just that the unexpected texture freaks me out.

    Is it because of bugs or thinking dirt got in there or maybe someone touched it or did something to it? I in no way ever do that. :#

    Well if it wasn't before, it is now lol. Mostly I think it's a sensory issue. Or I'm just weird.

    I just removed a friend here today after she posted on her feed that she's dreading Thursdays because she always succumbs to sweets and bad foods on Thursdays. Oh noes.

    My confession is that if someone believes in demonizing food, I don't even know why they sent me a friend request in the first place.

    And I'm having the last of my kids' ice cream birthday cake for lunch. And by lunch I mean now... at 10.30am.

    You should start a thread about good/bad food to see how others feel. It's sure to be a success.

    I remove people that haven't logged in for 4 days. I'll send a message to friends after 2 days of not logging in to help keep them motivated, that's what I'm here for. 4 days that means you don't care enough to read a message from your fitness pal, so i wash my hands of thee!!!

    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.

    I'm pretty behind on the thread so maybe this was addressed already, but I did DIY Soylent for a while. It worked really well and it was very filling. It was really convenient!

    What did it taste like?

    @Francl27‌ You and my daughter would get along famously! She ALWAYS and I do mean ALWAYS has room for dessert. Especially is ice cream is involved.

    I've eaten dessert knowing without a doubt that I will end up regretting it physically. The most recent case was Applebee's with the Apple ChimicheesecaKEOHGODGETINMYMOUTH...sorry... I knew when I ordered it that I had already overeaten on dinner and anything more was going to make me feel bloated, but damn if I didn't near lick the plate. Couldn't move from the recliner when I got home. It was awful...awfully tasty!

    I did that when we went to a local Easten European restaurant months back... I was actually too full for dessert but I refused to leave without trying some... I seriously thought I was going to throw up, and the whole meal wasn't even that good. I'm never going to that place again!

    I actually never get dessert at Applebee's because the calories are too high to make it worth it for me. I only get dessert at local restaurants that don't have calories anywhere... that way I can lie to myself that it's only 500-600 calories and not 1000+.

    I used to work at Applebee's and those chimi cheesecakes and blondies were probably the only things I would eat. so full of NOM. It was awesome when somebody sent back a dessert cause we'd ALL devour it in the back.

    I was so mad when they discontinued the Sizzlin' Apple Pie that I stopped eating there for 2 years.

    ETA: Who the *kitten* sends back a dessert? I don't even understand that concept!

    No kidding? What's wrong with people?

    I LOVE dessert but I hate any kind of whipped or pouring cream. So if you bring me a sundae with cream on top when I specified no cream, it's getting sent back. You wouldn't think it was that difficult of an instruction, but it happens all the time. I used to be a waitress so I can't really understand why it's so difficult.

    Habit, I'm sure. It's probably just automatic to top a sundae with whipped cream. It is annoying though that they don't remember or don't listen to your request.

    Back when I was a wine drinker I kind of did this to "test" the quality of the restaurant and server. I'd ask for a glass of pinot grigio, but several times all they hear is "pinot" and bring me a pinot noir.

    That texture difference thing is exactly why I don't like nuts in cookies or fudge. I'm happily anticipating a nice, soft, warm bite of chocolate chip cookie and then ARGH WHAT WAS THAT? when I hit a nut. My mom used to make fudge with nuts but leave a portion at the end without nuts just for me. Thanks, Mommer!
