I also did something similar. I would constantly buy things I'd want to eat but "couldn't" for others.LadyAbsynthe wrote: »
Yeah, I definitely felt this way when I had an ED. I didn't cook but I'd drink tea and watch everyone else eating lunch/dinner and feel strong. Maybe that's just a human thing, though :Prungirl1973 wrote: »PrincessTinyheart wrote: »I confess that lately I've been concentrating really, really hard on getting my protein, carb, sugar and fat goals as close to the limit as possible...

Actually, wasn't this a confession early on too... about people deliberately bringing in food to work to watch their co-workers eat it while they abstained? Especially the ones who were always talking about dieting?
That can also be a symptom of an eating disorder. Anorexics love to cook, and will make everybody else eat while they abstain.
I think I do remember that being confessed earlier and starting a big discussion about eating disorders...

I only use it at work when I have to lift a car battery to put in the used battery cart, have a customer who takes money out of their bra/sock, sneeze/cough in front of a customer, or a customer looks really sick.0 -

Don't you find it dries out your skin? I wash my hands a lot....and lotion after, but I find those just too drying.
The worst is when you have a paper cut you didn't realize you had & it stings.0 -

OUCH!!
I hate hand sanitizer. I use it after a port-a-potty but avoid it otherwise.
My hands are dry enough right now.0 -

All meat for myself is weighed out of the big package, vacuum sealed with date, weight, and either put in the fridge or freezer.
Packages of cheese are brought home and cut immediately into 1 ounce slices and vacuum sealed and returned to the fridge.
Lunches for the week are done on Sunday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I usually do mixed veggies 300 grams frozen weight to be microwaved. Tuesday and Thursday are Broccoli days and that is 400 grams of frozen weight to be microwaved.
OMG, I LOVE these ideas!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! And, I need to bring a scale to work as I have breakfast and lunch every day here nearly every day. What model scale do you use, Danilynn?
I know no judgment, but I always felt that original post was a huge red flag on disordered thinking with food.
I think this is the post that said they took their food scale to the grocery store & weighed out the produce.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
The only time I weigh my food is when I'm either preparing it for lunch/meal or want to make a dish that has multiple servings.
There would be no way I would take it to a grocery store to measure out bananas, sweet potatoes, spaghetti squash, & whatever else they measured.0 -

Of course. I really almost ate 2 QB's last night after checking my macros. I didn't, because my fiber would have been 49 grams
and thought I'd better not push my luck.
It's okay, you don't have to give it to me.
The one day after looking at my Fiber count I had around 84 grams .
I have to stay within a fiber range. If I have too much fiber, it tends to bind me up...
I'm usually only bound up if I have corn, & don't drink enough water or more than two Quest bars in a day.0 -

I was tempted to eat 2 Quest Bars last night in order to meet my protein goal even though it would have put me well over my calories.
I log food and then am too tired or full to eat it but don't take it out of my diary.
How's that for confessions Friday?!
Peanut Butter and Jelly and Cheetos? And milk? That just sounds so gross.
I think you misspelled delicious.
nope, totally no delicious in that sentence.
You don't like pb&j's?
i love PB&J. Its the cheetos/milk in combo factor.
Eh. I haven't eaten Cheetos in months, and I bought a bag because they were less than $2 and I remember eating pb&j with chips and a glass of milk when I was a kid. I also like putting potato chips ON my sandwiches. I enjoy the extra crunch it adds.
Salt and Vinegar chips on a turkey sandwich? De-fricking-licious!
I do not understand this. Why not just eat them on the side? Do they not just get all broken up in the sandwich?
I used to eat chips on bologna sandwiches. I like crunchy food. All the crunchy food. :-)
Crunchy is definitely my favorite of all the textures. Extra crispy fries, extra crunchy chips, super crispy chicken, crisp apples. Yes, please ALL OF IT!!!
I love Ruffles on bologna sandwiches with extra mayo ( @LBuehrle8 that's for you) and lots of crisp iceberg lettuce.
I like burnt things. I used to like the burnt edges when I ate meat. I love burnt toast. It has to be well done.0 -

I use it a lot too, in conjunction with frequent hand washing. Hand sanitizing is the policy at hospitals and doctor's offices, so I'm on board until I hear different!
See? Bry is on my team.
Sorry sis, I differ with you here. Traveling through Mexico using public restrooms with no running water - yes I will use it. Washing hands a lot, sure. Medical /doctor setting around people with sickness sure. Daily life? No way. Soap and water works for me.0 -

I ate a bunch of chocolate XLAX once thinking they were chocolate. I was a kid. Yes, I had the WORST diarrhea (yes I had to look up how to spell that).
When my mom was 10 or so, one of her older brothers made her and their younger brother brownies and put ExLax in the mix. My grandmother left and made him take care of them. Good for her.
Definitely good for her. Ick.0 -

I don't like Thin Mints or Peanut Butter Patties.
The peanut butter oatmeal cookies taste so much better than the patties. I prefer Thank Yous for my chocolate fix.
I like all of those cookies you listed but no Caramel deLites. I abhor coconut.
I confess that I did not buy a single box of GS cookies this year.
Me either. I haven't in years. I did get roped in a time or 2 on friend's kids, and put them in the trunk of my car til I could get them to my Mom. I won't touch them (unless I read an oreo thread, and then obsess about oreos, then find out they are vegan (thin mints) and eat a whole sleeve of them. Oh wait...I did that Monday.0 -

Confession: I confess, part of me did my 1RM lifts on Wednesday just to prove that I'm NOT old.
I confess I've worn the same pair of work pants three days in a row.
I wore the same jeans every day last week. No shame. I'm a desk jockey.
I will wear the same work clothes 2 days in a row if I am not going to see the same people and I am feeling lazy. I do change my underclothes. 0 -

I will buy things that have gluten in them and give them out at work. Like putting kit kats in my candy dish. There is no chance I will eat them but they are there for other people.
