Oh, I had to throw one comment in there. Just for fun.0 -
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.

@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.
See a good server, upon hearing "pinot" without the specified afterwards, would always ask grigio or noir. Well.... a good server anyway. I am glad I always ask when I get people like you ;p hah!
confession; after work last night and after had tasting several wines, I decided it was a grand idea to stop at marble slab creamery for a swirl of cinnamon cheesecake ice cream. Even though I got the small, the lady gave me an extra scoop and me being me I decided to weight it going home... and yeah, it was an extra 200 calories.
Whoops, sorry not sorry. It was awesome, and yet still managed to stay under maintenance.

I get a kick out of the "I started working out and eating 1500 a week ago and no results, what am I doing wrong?!"
Seriously, a week? C'mon now people!0 -
I'm on the mailing list still from a florist I used to place orders with. Today I got an email, the subject line was "For Peeps Sake..." I almost burst out laughing.0

A coworker forgot her cookies for yesterday's potluck, so she brought them in today. I said I would have one. I ate it, then realized that I forgot to have my tea with it. So I got another cookie. But it's a rather large cup of tea, so I may need to get yet another cookie to finish it.0

I confess to almost choking myself on my toothbrush whilst attempting jumping jacks at 10 p.m. last night to get those last 100 steps to 15k on my fitbit. I just marched in place after that.
15k accomplished though

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!!!
I confess there are a few friends I keep even though they haven't logged on in weeks/months. I keep hoping they'll come back because they were actually really awesome
I also confess that I will delete people who look like friend hoarders. They have 150+ friends but never comment on anything ever.
I don't pretend to be ultra-supportive, but I do like to have interactions with my friends.0 -

I've only removed a couple people, one that was really annoying and a couple that hadn't been on for almost a year. If it's only been a few months I'll leave them. They might come back, and even if they don't, they aren't cluttering up my newsfeed so it doesn't really matter. I've gotten a lot of friend requests lately, which is awesome, but I may have to stop adding some because I won't be able to keep track of that many people.
I like to have some interactions with my friends as well. 0 -

Oh, no, per my bolded, YES, I always said "pinot grigio" but a lot of times the server did not listen to my full request, much like they did with your sundae. Sorry I wasn't clear on that!0 -

This. If someone adds me the first thing I look at is how many friends they have. Do you need more than 150 friends?0 -

Ah, true. Not sure why, but it makes me feel cluttered. I guess it's a combination of how long they've been gone, and what kind of pal they were before they stopped logging.0 -
You know that person? That person who asks for advice so you point them at the calculators and you discuss nutrition and macros and recipes and your jaw aches but you think just once.....just once they might actually listen. But no, they throw their hands up when the calculator says 1500 cals not the fabled 1200 cals and then they work out like a crazy beast and then they binge on junk food and THEN they tell you they can't understand why they haven't lost because they've been so good?
I want to punch that person.0 -

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.
Have you ever talked to her about it? I know this is tough as I have a similar situation with my mother, but I got tired long ago of ignoring it, putting up with it, ME feeling badly and her not "getting" it, so I just finally talked to her about it. Wasn't easy and we don't have a very good relationship anyway, but you may find that a HUGE weight is lifted off your shoulders if you just say what you need to say!0 -
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.
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!
Yes, that's the weird part. He used to say that he didn't believe in marriage. Then for a few years (at about year 5) he said he would get married and he even wrote me a cute little, "will you marry me?" note. Then he switched back again and says he doesn't believe in marriage. He won't give me an answer as to why though/what changed. I think that is what bothers me. He is committed and I trust him. I feel kinda silly being bothered by not being married... It does depress me sometimes when I see everyone else getting married. I ask every now and then but I don't push it.
I'm trying to get caught up on reading this thread so I'll probably comment more in a bit.
My confession of the day: I once read a thread (I think it was on these forums a long time ago) about a guy who was trying hard to lose weight and then all the sudden he was very successful. It turned out he had cancer but didn't know it and that was the reason he was able to lose weight successfully for once. He was writing it as a note to let people know to make sure they watch their health and be cautious. I sometimes wonder if that is what is going on with me. I know it is because I've been better about logging etc. But that thread stuck with me so I always wonder in the back of my mind if that is why I'm able to succeed these days when I had so much trouble in the past.
Oh, THAT definitely would be the issue for me! I mean, he should at least explain his change of heart and give you a reason. You deserve that!0 -

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'm so very sorry you went through that. I fully believe in cutting toxic people out of my life, blood relative or not. I've done it many times and I feel so much better! Hey, I may pay for it in the future, but I'm okay with facing whatever consequences may arise.0 -

Same here. I can get really embarrassed and defensive when someone is rude to me, even online. I try to avoid posting in threads unless I really know what I'm talking about, or it's just about personal experience. However, being on here is helping me get less defensive since I realize worrying about a stranger's internet opinion and fighting with them is a complete waste of time. If they're the one flying off the handle and getting worked up because of the internet, that's their problem, not mine.
It is also helping me in real life too, realizing that when people are snarky and rude to me over trivial matters it says a lot about their own personality. I used to view it as a personal attack but it's really their own issues surfacing.0 -

Can we please be friends? I provide baked goods and preserves...
Sausage is the gateway to friendship.
My wife is certainly fed up with my sausage innuendo "jokes". I don't care about that either.
