Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I was able to buy a pair of pants a size smaller than usual but still haven't worn them in public because I prefer to feel small in my current baggy pants rather than realize I still have a long way to go by feeling snug in my new pants.
I am currently in a post maternity limbo - not the biggest I've ever been but not the smallest - weird body shape wilderness so I get it. I'm all about 'lazy pants'.
I have no half-way. I have super baggy male jeans from when I was at my biggest, and I'm now sporting high-waisted skinny jeans. The only thing I don't like about High-waisted is when your belly makes the weird bulge beneath the waistband.
wear a long enough top and its fine, but I still don't like it. 2 -
2 weeks until I buy my wedding dress. I need more time!

1 block cream cheese
2tsp vanilla or almond extract
1 lb (give or take) of confectionery sugar Icing Sugar for us
Whip cream cheese and extract together then add sugar slowly until you get a frostable consistency. I usually have a couple of ounces of sugar left out of a pound, to be honest.
I think that is what the filling is on Carrot Cake, and also Red Velvet Cake
Yes. Although I don't care for red velvet cake, this is the icing for it. I make carrot cake and use this.
Argh, my local supermarket sell red velvet cookies with the cream cheese as a gooey filling. I can't eat just one, it's not possible.1 -

I have concluded that having to bake most treats for myself is a blessing in disguise. I either have something more important to do or I conclude it's not worth the trouble.2 -
First day back in the office after vacation and starting a new position at work today.
Confession: I stepped on the scale today for the first time since I left and it's not pretty. About 15lbs from goal (and I was hovering within 2-5lbs for months from goal). Not real happy about this, but I know some of it is still water weight from vacation and the Mirena screwing with my hormones (seriously, my boobs are as sore as they get when you're PG). I wish I could see the future and know that some of these side effects will subside over time, because not having a period is seriously the best. What is NOT the best is being uncontrollably ravenous and feeling pregnant.
Good news is I've planned and prepped food for the week, so I have no reason not to stay on track. I signed up for a HM race mid-June and I got out of bed at 4am for my usual early-morning run (which felt ahhh-mazing). I think from here to goal it's going to be a lot of heads-down focus and I'm just going to knock it out. I know I can do it.4 -

Sounds like you are prepared and ready to tackle it. Glad your vacation was great. I am ready for one myself, but I think it will be a while before I can go.
After logging for a week or so, I see I am overloading on carbs still. I guess it's a good thing for me to see that so I can fix it. My protein is too low, not hitting my mark.3 -
We need some Hump Day confessions (mostly to entertain me, because I'm super bored).
What is the last "worst" thing you've eaten?
I had tons of delicious Italian food Saturday at my sister's surprise birthday party. I bet I ate/drank AT LEAST 3000 calories.1 -
Friday night, our last night in Mexico, I had penne with some kind of amazeballs gorgonzola sauce, tons of bread and balsamic, and a scoop of gelato on top of a brownie covered in meringue. The next morning, I had a screwdriver and a chocolate sundae with spanish peanuts for breakfast (I didn't want to waste the groceries we were leaving behind in Mexico).

I am mostly living off a cheese and carb diet. Yesterday I had a cheese toastie for lunch and a baked potato and cheese for tea. At least it was all wholegrains. Since being pregnant or breastfeeding, I'm all about boring cheese!
I did manage veggie stew for tea tonight, so there's that.2 -
Crispy chicken sandwich with fries and Coke last night from Burger King. I hadn’t eaten BK in years.2

Ha! I do this when we rent a house on the Oregon Coast.1 -

Ooh, yeah. I love BK onion rings. Except even the largest size isn't enough.

I was sick yesterday so to make up for the lost calories I had a whole pint of Talenti's Peanut Butter Fudge Sorbetto.1 -
McDonalds, but it was late, and we didn't have anything else in the kitchen.1

BK big fish sandwich, onion rings, diet coke super sized, then stopping next at McDonald's for a McFlurry. Usually after drinking.0 -
What should we confess for Thursday? How about the biggest woo you ever bought into?
I did the HCG pills with B12 injections. It was freaking expensive, like $1000. And what made me lose weight was eating 500 calories per day.

I think slimfast was the only ‘diet’ thing I’ve ever tried.2
