I ate so much yesterday and loved every minute of it. I'm also not going to beat myself up or workout more than I normally would to make up for it.0

Same here! Except that I ate almost DOUBLE my maintenance... With a molten lava cookie mountain, half a container of Speculoos (Lotus) Caramel Biscuit flavored ice cream, and pizza.[/quote]
Off topic, I realize... but would you please share where you got that ice cream? We lived in Belgium for a year and Speculoos cookies were my favorite!

I feel the same way. I tried one like 2 years ago thinking maybe my opinion would change...nope..still gross.
Confession: I'm Greek so my Easter isn't until next Sunday. I'm going to purposely avoid any and all stores so I'm not tempted to buy all the cheap Easter candy.
Secondary Confession: My BIL brought home a huge bag of Lindt truffles from Switzerland and I've been at my sisters all weekend. I've tried every type and was right...my favorite is Coffee. Now I'm regretting not buying that box of 250 the other week.0 -

I'm really not a narcissist and don't like attention from others. I think I do it almost because I have a hard time accepting how much I've changed. I don't recognize myself in pictures sometimes. It is a very weird feeling.
This habit totally reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.
I have caught myself doing this a couple times in the ladies room at work recently, and probably for the same reason. I just can't believe I have abs! It's like I lift up my shirt and reveal someone else's stomach. Bizarre.

I ate a total of 2,386 yesterday. I've definitely done worse. Most of it started with boredom, then I began to feel so guilty I was eating so much so then my mindset immediately went to "well you already f-ed up, so keep going" and that makes me feel so out of control.
I also have not worked out since *correction, Thurs. that was weights day. I have a sore swollen big toe so distance walking is uncomfortable, same with the treadmill. I could ride the inside bike I suppose or lift weights again, but I just haven't ...
I feel like this weight will never come off because I make stupid choices, yet I know I want this soooo badly, but my bad choices rein supreme right now.0 -

(Note that I live in Saudi Arabia, so I don't know if you'll find it where you are)
It's a brand new limited time flavor from "London Dairy" ice cream... Which I happen to love more than any other ice cream company, by the way
They call it Caramel Biscuit, but it tastes EXACTLY like the Speculoos/Lotus Cookie Butter spread and has bits of the cookies inside and some caramel swirls, too. IT IS SO GOOD. I found it in my supermarket with all the other ice cream, but it only came out about three weeks ago.

I've eaten a few "meals" of those little chocolate eggs over the past two weeks, and have felt sick every single time. I had my husband hide the rest of the bag on me and promise to only dole them out to the kids if they ask for them. I don't know why I sabotage myself with these behaviours!0

Confession: I didn't take a single picture over Easter. No pictures of kids hunting eggs. No pictures of Easter outfits. No pictures of family get-together.0

I can't believe I shared that.
I LOVE peanut butter. I had my wife hide it because I just love it and could eat it all in one sitting.

I haven't read the forums all weekend, and while your confessions were undoubtedly amazing, I will not go back to read them.
Also, someone just tried to pull a fast one on me. Didn't work. Silly rabbits, trix are for kids.0 -

Before this the most embarrassing movie to make me cry was Cool Runnings.
I love the Fast and Furious movies. I was sad when Paul Walker died too. I want to see the new one soon.
My boyfriend and I are kind of split up right now and I'm depressed (we haven't seen each other since last Saturday). I only slept about 3 hours last night so I'm drinking Monster (lo-carb) to try and get through the day.

@AgentOrangeJuice I did go back and read. It was a quiet weekend and you didn't miss much. But now I want to know what the trick was...0

Weighed myself and my weight was definitely up after my meals yesterday- didn't log it and I'm not going to!0
-
AHA! I see definition on that shoulder! Good for you! Yes, I'm way behind on this thread. I wanted to keep up over the weekend, but we had beautiful 70 degree, clear sky days and I just HAD to be outside. It was worth it, but now I'm reading fast and furiously.0 -

Dear, you are HOT! So what if you do not look like a swimsuit model, you are really very pretty from what I can see in your profile pic. And just so you know, people have all kinds of tastes and find all body types attractive or "hot" so someone and probably a lot of someones will find you desirable no matter what you look like on the outside as long as you have a good inside.
Exactly! You don't need "curves in the right places", you need confidence! Confidence is sexy no matter what.0 -

Same!
Confession 1: @tincanonastring's Easter diary was the best and I wish I could be that awesome. My grandfather also subscribed to the stale peeps trend, and it made me smile to know there are others, since he's been gone for (almost) 15 years.
Confession 2: As I'm in the process of looking for a new job, I become less and less motivated to do anything at my current one. I'm also pretty sure no one has noticed, because they don't relize how much I normally bust my butt.0 -

Yep. Had to google her too.
The only chance I have of recognizing celebs is if they've made it to the cover of one of the magazines that are stocked in checkout lines.
I have never seen a single episode of Sex in the City, Friends or Seinfeld. Seriously clueless.
"Megan Mulally, from Will & Grace fame" - Karen Walker is one of my favorite TV characters of all-time! I like to use her alias "Anastasia Beaverhousen" when I'm feeling silly. She was great on that show!0 -

Also, I didn't mean I don't like the challenge (it hasn't even started yet) I meant I don't like the profile pic. I'll change it when I can find something better.
Incidentally, I've wondered this: for those who have a proper profile picture of your face, do you not mind that someone in real life will see you on here? I don't think I would like that, which is why I don't put a photo. This is not a criticism - I'm just interested.
I never knew there was forums when I joined...and now that I have jumped in I wish I had picked another user name (instead of my real name) for this very reason. I very rarely post on FB or tweet on Twitter (though I have accounts and follow others posts/tweets) because I don't want a record. And I always stay really neutral. I just couldn't stay out of this thread! And have exposed some stuff. So, yes, I wish I had picked another name. And you'll never see a face picture...I hate how I look. You might see me riding. From a distance. Likely it.
I'm afraid to confess anything too earth shattering, just in case someone I know irl wanders in here and recognizes me
I totally get this. I've considered confessing something a few times, but am afraid to put it on the internet!
Same here! I can actually "read" relief some of the posters on this thread feel after they really confess something, but I still don't want to put anything too personal about myself out there. Once it's on the internet, it's there to stay.0 -

Confession #2 When I get paid next week I will spend way too much on that White Chocolate Peanut Butter due to me living in Germany and having to order it online. Even though I don't know what it tastes like I'm craving it.
Confession #3 I'm afraid to jump in on this thread because this is my first post ever on MFP and an English speaking community.
I've stayed up later than I intended because of this thread.
You're in good company, I'll also be spending way too much to get a jar of that stuff. I've had white chocolate Reese's PB cups and LOVE them, I'm sure I'll love White Chocolate Wonderful too. Oh, and I'll be getting pumpkin Pop Tarts as well, which just compounds the madness.
Welcome to the warmest, fuzziest, most therapeutic thread on MFP!
Nice arm post! Looking good! The sit on the floor weight workout is working!
Thank you!
It's a really easy way to fit in a nice little workout... I think @BZAH10 should copyright it, make a workout DVD and rake in $$
YES! Then I can keep up with this thread AND make money at the same time. Great idea!0 -
The saddest movie I have ever seen is "Hachi". I tear up in a lot of movies, but this one had me full on sobbing, like gross snotty crying. It's a good movie, but so heartbreaking if you are in any way an animal lover. I sobbed through pretty much the whole thing and for about 3 weeks after any thought or mention of it would have tears welling up. I've only seen it the once and haven't been able to bring myself to watch it again.
Good to know... that's another movie I'll avoid.
My friends are pretty good at warning me off movies with sad animal stuff, like Eight Below and John Wick. I actually was hoping to see John Wick until I heard about the puppy.
Same here. I cannot watch anything sad about animals.0 -

Not pathetic. Whatever gets you motivated and keeps you going is a good enough reason. No explanation needed.0 -
While walking down the hall to go to the bathroom I grabbed a boxed Cadburys Easter egg I had sitting in the spare room to take to my friends child...ate the shell plus the 2 caramel eggs inside it & finished it while at the loo....hid the empty box & wrapping at the back of a drawer in the bedroom..I came back up resumed watching tv & nobody knew I'd done it...didn't take me 5mins I'm ashamed to add...I'm my own worst enemy...that's really bad isn't it???[/quote]
You certainly aren't alone! Pretty sure we all do things like this. Besides, kid get way too much candy on Easter anyway. You probably did that child a favor. As for your side of it, I'd just say live and learn and move on.0 -
Confessions:
I've gained 10lbs since my wedding last year. YIKES!!!
6 of those lbs have been in the last 3 months. (chocolate chocolate chocolate) stupid Valentines and Easter candy.
My husband has joined me in this bit of weight gain...he's up, I'm guessing, 15-20lbs.
We both feel fat and gross...
I refuse to buy bigger summer clothes, so I'll have to buckle down so the ones I already have will fit.0 -
So after 3 days of pigging, I weighed myself this morning and was the same as I was last Wednesday which is a result! Still I felt rubbish about how bad I've been so dragged my husband out for a 7 mile bike ride. It was bloody cold and hard but at least I've burnt off some calories ready for family coming over tonight!0

I've been working out in places with no mirrors for a long time, and I have horrible light in my current apartment, so even though I have a mirror, it doesn't tell me much. I am looking through pictures from last weekend, when I did some dance events...and I almost don't recognize myself.
Maybe try going to a department store with the 3-way mirrors? I like those because they give you a really good all-around view, although the lighting is usually pretty bad.0 -
Confession: I'd lost 90 pounds, then ate a piece of cake, learned I could make that cake, made many of those cakes, and gained it all back. This time around, I've been intensely strict. The weight is melting off. The problem? I'm becoming obsessed. The positive? I realize I'm becoming obsessed. I forced myself to eat half a no bake cookie the other day. It was good, but too sweet. I'm liking this change, but I don't want this change to dictate who I become. This is probably a pretty common story, but it sure feels good getting it off my chest. Lol0

I find a lot of people don't look behind them when crossing lanes to exit the track. Today I was running in the middle lane and was about two strides behind a young lady on the inside lane. Sure enough she didn't look behind her when crossing and my confession is, is that I wanted to speed up just slightly so I could knock her on her *kitten* for being so oblivious to her surroundings. Maybe it would have taught her a lesson
Oh, how I can empathize with feeling that way... on a related note, at a local outdoor track where I walk sometimes (weather permitting), there are, at times, various groups of 2 or more individuals who somehow think that the lanes they decided to abruptly stop walking in would make a great place to finish their conversation -- and they just stand there, talking, while disrupting traffic flow on the track... a part of me wishes I could (in good conscience, let alone without injuring myself or others) 'fake-accidentally' walk right into at least one of them, knock however many of them down that happen to fall in conjunction with the collision, 'fake-accidentally' claim that I was just as surprised as they were, as I hadn't expected anyone to be standing-still-and-not-moving in the middle of a track, and then wish them well, as I continued on my merry way, all while pondering whether it would end up taking 'just one more' fake-accidental collision to 'make my point' (given that so many seem utterly oblivious to or otherwise couldn't-care-less-about the fact that multiple individuals keep having to 'go around' the 'standing-still-collective' in order to continue walking in the lane said individuals were walking in)... arggg
In reading what you described, of someone not looking when crossing lanes at a track, it also brought to mind people who, while in a grocery store, suddenly change directions with their shopping carts, and without bothering to consider the fact that they aren't the only person in the store (let alone, not the only one pushing a cart) -- and that they should look, accordingly, before proceeding in whatever alternate direction they suddenly decided to adopt, seems to be incomprehensibly 'beyond' them...
...oh, and of course, we've seemingly all encountered those unfortunately-rather-many individuals who, when choosing to change lanes while driving, engage in Nike slogan action, and just do it -- sans any consideration for anyone around them, or otherwise demonstrating an awareness that they aren't the only driver on the road... (perhaps these same individuals carry their self-centered (or otherwise 'perpetually oblivious') habits to the track, as well...?)
I can SO relate to all of this! Lots of people are clueless, oblivious, and not considerate of others. Some just don't realize that there is actually "track etiquette" just like there is for golf.0 -

Easter means chocolate bunnies, Easter baskets, and egg hunts. My kids don't know better, as evidenced by today's Easter egg hunt.
My son got an egg with a chocolate cross inside. He said (loudly) "mom I got a plus!"
Another confession- I hate the word atheist. I don't use it often.It sounds like I am drilling into my kids heads "there is no God!" "When you die you go nowhere!". I don't do that, I swear.
I don't want religious friends and family to fret about me, so I just say we enjoy sleeping in and having family time on Sundays.
How did you come to be an atheist? Very curious about this
I was raised Christian, Christian school, church everytime the doors were open (Baptist at that). I've slowly gone from identifying as Christian, to deist, to somewhere between agnostic/atheist currently. **but I'm secretly thinking about converting to the church of the flying spaghetti monster**
Welp, I was raised in a family of very religious people, and I felt that in order to be a good person, I had to be religious too. And I really did try my best to be a believer. Look, act, and sound like one.
When I discovered later that I could be a good person without being a churchgoer, I felt relief. I still have morals, values, and a conscience.
My husband comes from a strict fundamentalist baptist upbringing, and my family is catholic with a few outspoken evangelicals in the mix.
I respect my family's choice of belief. I would never critisize any person's faith. My son for example, believes in heaven.
He heard about heaven somewhere, and is convinced that when you die you become an angel, and live on a cloud.
My husband believes that the history channel show "ancient aliens" is on to something, and that Jesus was obviously an extra terrestrial.
I see no reason to argue. I don't believe in Jesus at all, so I have no dog in the fight!
This is me as well. Wasn't it a huge relief to finally discover this?! I know it was for me. Sounds like you are handling it well with your children.0
