    Confession: My eating has been out of control! I've been sneaking chocolate before dinner and not logging it. I am in pure IDGAF mode. My weight is creeping up, and I can't seem to make myself care. I still hit the gym hard, but I'm not going to out-exercise these extra calories. I'm not sure what to do to change this, and that makes me want to give up even more. It's an endless downward spiral! :(

    Maybe you should get involved in a competition of some kind. You seem to thrive when you're competing with others besides yourself. Plus, you can't give up, you're my swolesister for life!!!

    Also, can you tell my husband he can't out-exercise a bad diet?! That'd be great, thanks!

    Also, I think bodybuilding.com has another challenge starting in about a month. (But I could do so much damage in a month...)

    WELL, JUST STOP IT!!! There. Is that better?! :wink:

    Maybe if I imagine @MoHousdon standing over my shoulder, tapping her toe, watching every bite that goes into my mouth...nah, I know how she eats! :D

    ETA: Here's the plan for today (just for today, not gonna worry about anything beyond today). I have already logged all my food. I promise to @MoHousdon and @MelissaPhippsFeagins that I will stick to it. Call me on it tomorrow, k?

    I will. I am in the same boat. I am up 7 lbs and can't seem to shake it. And I have an ironman in 6 weeks and haven't exercised in months. I am a mess.

    Also I confess, I went to the Mets game last night with my boss and co-workers in our suite and had several glasses of wine. Sigh. Back to square 1. Day 1 #nomorealcohol

    Uncomfortable social situations are my downfall.

    Oh, no!!! That actually makes me feel better about having a drink or three Friday. You were just trying to help me out, right @Oberon21? LOL

    I love this thread. OK so I started Vaping to try to curb my appetite. I have never been a smoker. Now I am getting to really like it and have decided to just use flavors without the nicotine. Am I crazy?

    @cheryldumais Other than the cost, I don't see an issue. Does it curb your appetite, though? Inquiring minds want to know!

    Yeah, lol, it actually does. I don't crave sweet stuff anymore. I'm 59 so I figure if my virgin lungs are being assaulted it's not so bad cause I'm not a youngster anyway, lol. The nicotine (right now it has 1.5mg) keeps me awake at night tho. =:-O

    Also, what exactly are you trying to say?!

    My husband and I have committed to going on a 15 mile 2 day hike with my cousin Labor Day weekend. :grimace: I'm scared out of my mind! I'm a lifter, not a hiker!

    It's going to be amazing!

    I agree. 15 miles in 2 days will be a piece of cake.

    For you!!! I checked out the course yesterday, and it's rated as difficult. :worried:

    I would also gladly accept a piece of cake right now.

    Well, it IS tough to hike with an overnight pack if you're not used to it, but that's a very manageable distance for any reasonably fit person. Just to compare if you're doing half of it the first day, that's a distance that a hobby (road) runner can do pretty comfortably in an hour and is a pretty easy 2 hr walk for anyone (with no elevation gain), so if you have a whole day to do it then even with trails, elevation, and weight on your back it shouldn't be too daunting!

    We managed up to about 13 miles per day even way up at altitude in Peru and my husband is like you and pretty much just lifts, so I have total faith that you can manage it comfortably.

    It may be because you have stopped drinking. Log the chocolate. Tell yourself the truth. Try to eat less next week than this week. You can do this, Tami.

    Thanks, Mel. I know I should log it. I've done that before to make myself aware. It's all that IDGAF part...

    Well, I GAF about you, so maybe about 8 my time I need to text you: STEP AWAY FROM THE CHOCOLATE!! Do a sun salutation instead. Message me your number.

    Not if it works for you. I have a friend from jury duty who vapes. I love the smell of her stuff. It's kind of key lime pie-ish. I can see why you'd like it.

    If you made it fit, I will leave.you alone. I'm all for chocolate that fits in my macros. Mmmm
