When my head started hurting during court today, I would have paid you a dollar for one Pep-o-mint life saver. I don't know why, but peppermint stops my headaches almost immediately.
THIS! I keep super minty gum on me all the time for that very reason. It's an instant-stop until the aspirin can kick in.0 -

I'm really just watching Narcos (...well, trying to stay still long enough to watch it on the desktop) and Fear the Walking Dead atm
I WAS watching Hannibal, but that ended prematurely last week. It did have a perfect ending.
Glad to hear the bat was negative @ShibaEars !
Why do people do this? I hope today turns out better!Someone sent me a pretty nasty message earlier. In return, I ate 5 pieces of bacon (was going to be a pound but it burnt me and fell on the floor, and as mopey as I was, I won't eat floor bacon), grape juice (I've been drinking water only for quite a while, with the exception of an occasional glass of OJ) a big bowl of cereal (I didn't measure, but I guestimate it was 3 cups), and chicken tenders pan fried with mozzarella cheese. My normal 1000 - 1200 calories is pretty well shot. I tried to exercise to make up for it, but I just didn't want to. I'd rather go play a video game and sleep.
I wanted to like Hannibal SO BAD, I watched the entire first season and just was not loving it.....
I have Fear of the Walking Dead recorded but have not started it yet.....
i LOVED Hannibal! it totally crushed me when they announced it was cancelled. the finale was last week and i'm still bereft.
fear the walking dead is holding its own. it's only two episodes in, but i really like it thus far.0 -
Not sure how active people are in here during my daytime(UK) but after quick advice.
I'm having one of my periods of not sleeping- basically just because my body refuses to.(I've had about 8 hours over 3 days) I managed to do a (poor) weights workout yesterday but am wondering whether I'm just being a wimp by reconsidering working out today also or if I should just give my body a rest?
I'm currently feeling very on edge. I'm seriously about 1 snarky comment away from punching someone in work. I was already stressed as a member of senior management is currently undermining all my decisions for what I can only assume is his own personal amusement considering there is no actual business justification for it - but everything seems to be pushing me closer to breaking point today! Not sure if working out would help the stress or kill me..
And on a completely different note from a few pages back -books, not read Stephen King for years after Insomnia (as in the book not my condition!) put me off, any recommendations anyone?
I think I would claim a mental health day and not go to work!! Sounds like you need some down time. As for the books, keep reading King. They get better.
Thanks. I may go home soon considering I have just sent an email meant for my boss to my boyfriend by accident. On the plus side....at least it wasn't the other way round!!!
I once got a pretty risque email about some weekend plans at work from a coworker whose wife's first name and first two letters of last name were the same as mine, he did not even notice it populated my email address instead of hers. He was very embarrassed. I just replied with something like - Can I bring my husband?0 -
I've never weighed a single piece of food. I rarely measure either...I just try to over "guesstimate". The MFP Police would HATE me

Testing this out, I have a headache right now, and I am opening the unwanted pep-o-mints now.0 -

In the beginning I weighed or measured everything, then started to get a feel for how much it was, and stopped, maybe that is part of the issue with my stall in weight loss - well, that, and peanut butter.0 -

i totally do this.

unless i'm drinking it straight, there's no way i could use 12 bottles of bbq sauce by the best before date!0 -
God you people are chatty! I can't keep up it's stressing me out!
1. I hope they put Fear the Walking Dead on Netflix like they did Walking Dead.

I also don't log exercise calories, so maybe somehow it evens out? Haha idk.0 -
True.

I can't believe I shared that.
I did the same thing!! Except instead of water I put dish soap in it. I didn't think drowning it in water would be enough to keep from digging it out of the trash can...
@MoHousdon, have you gotten BINGO yet?
I still love when this one shows up. It's my absolute favorite.
I am surprised no one has quoted the cocoa powder confession for awhile.

Huge relief for you!! I don't really get migraines, but I have seen my sister go through them and can sympathize with those of you that do get them. I have been trying to figure out what I want to watch next, but I have been walking more and losing interest in TV and movies pretty much. Give me a good book.
Lee Ann! What are you reading now? I'm a book lover, ever in search of the next great story. :-)
Hope I don't let anyone down, but I love Stephen King. Some of his more recent books I have enjoyed alot. Dr. Sleep is a sequel to The Shining. It was a good one. Then he has tied story lines across a couple of new books with Mr Mercedes and Finders Keepers. I finally got to read 11/22/63. It was an interesting spin on time travel and how changing things can possibly affect the future. Also, a guilty pleasure of mine, I like young adult ficiton and have been reading the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. I am going to write down some of the books you guys are reading. Most of it for me is pure escape.
Love Stephen King. Love. He is a master at character development, even though a lot of his endings suck. LOL I adore his short stories for the most part, and he's got a new collection coming out in November! *squee*
That I may have to read, his short stuff is amazing!!
Anyone love Rose Madder? That was one of my favorites by him. It is not a short, but really good.
The Bachman Books were some of my favorites. The Long Walk is a favorite.
YES! Mine, too! I have never forgotten that story.0 -

I know of a couple of people that don't weigh. Most would think you're doing just fine. Weighing foods is mostly suggested to people that are bad at guesstimating their portions and are wondering why they can't lose.Kettle_Belle14 wrote: »I've never weighed a single piece of food.

And yeah, Hannibal ended last weekend. The show ended perfectly for me, but I'm still pretty upset with how NBC treated it after the official cancellation. They moved the series to Saturday nights and didn't even air a preview for the series finale!

Is it? I love the Walking Dead & was really excited about the new show but I found the first episode incredibly boring & didn't think it needed to be 90 minutes. I didn't bother watching week 2, but maybe I should watch a couple more episodes before giving up on it completely.0 -

Was the message from someone in MFP?
Yeah, it was. I'm over it now, just took some time. The message was basically just saying that I am a "wanna be med student" and a bunch of other stupid crap. It was really rude and hurtful, but I realized that the user knows nothing about me as a person, and likewise I know nothing about them. For all I know, they could have just been having a horribly crappy day. And for anyone who is curious, after soaking in the tub, lady bits felt much better. I will be more cautious in regards to washing my hands after I touch any spicy foods.
I know it's not easy but my advice is to ignore those people. Stupid people used to get to me until I realised how empty their lives must be that they can spare the time to write you a message to insult you. Imagine how sad they are that they sit at their computer all day conjuring up insults for people. Personally I'd rather be out doing positive things than searching for misery. Almost makes you feel sorry for them- if they weren't such 'no marks' (not sure if that's a scouse term or generally known but I think you'll all get the point).
Despite that we are all allowed to feel sorry for ourselves and binge occasionally. As long as we realise why we are doing it it's progress in my opinion.
On the other issue, suffice it to say I have done similar and feel your pain....
All of this. The people that have nothing better to do than troll on websites are pathetic, in my opinion. They need to go find something useful to do with themselves and stop messing with people who are here legitimately trying to help others and better themselves.0 -

I rarely weigh or measure my food.
I did measure, until my scale's battery died. I haven't replaced it yet so I'm back to guessing. I do much better when I weigh things though.0 -

I can promise you it will pick up. Right now is character development. I keep waiting for more, but I guess I expect more since I am a huge fan of The Walking Dead and am way too excited for Season 6.0
