I'm guilty of this, too. I tend to avoid the scale for a day or 2 after for fear that I have sabotaged myself. Also, I feel really guilty. My New Years resolution was to with stain from alcohol for 1 month. I failed.
I hear you both. I've never logged alcohol until i found myself eating very reasonably and working out hard and still losing nothing. So i was honest with myself a few times when alcohol was involved (and the snacking with it) and of course, I was basically offsetting the deficit i was creating in its entirety. So these days, i just add 10oz of red wine to my day right off the bat. I find it helps, even if you do go a bit above that. (10oz of wine for me is very optimistic). Sigh.0 -
On my first weight loss journey during the summer I ran everyday, twice a day for a month. But...I restricted myself from eating. I lost 24 lbs. When school rolled around again, I slowly began to eat. Then I would basically gorge on food. It was bad. I would eat almost anything and everything. I'd feel so bad about it that I'd throw it up. But the purging didn't do me any good. I'm back at the weight I started at in the summer of last year. Now I'm trying the healthy way. With fitness and nutrition.0

I feel like I'm so honest about our relationship and I gush about her all of the time, all of my friends and family know but she keeps me hidden because of the fact I'm female. None of her work friends know and she hasn't even told her so called best friend even though she's said she would and we've had countless arguments about it. The only people who know in her life are her 'lesbian friends' that are already out. It's starting to get to me now and I'm beginning to feel like she's ashamed of me. I just want to have a normal relationship...
This is a tough one. A year and a half is a long time to be stressed over hiding a relationship but I really do not feel as though she is ashamed of you but she is not ready for herself to be public yet. I feel for your frustration though. My best friend didn't tell me for years although I already knew and I smiled like I didn't know that she and her other 'best friend' did all these amazing things together were actually a couple. I just waited until she was ready. She was in her 30's when she finally told me and almost 40 when she told her mom. Hang in there...
Yes, this is good advice. I'm sorry you are dealing with this, noaddedsugarx, but I'd try to let her know how important this is to you without turning it into an argument and give it a little more time. I hope this all works out for you both soon.
Thanks to the both of you. The thing is apart from this issue we have an amazing relationship. We do talk about marriage and stuff. She's the first woman I've ever been with and it was hard for me to come out too. I know it's different for everyone but now I feel like I want everyone to know and I wish it was the same way for her too. It's hard too when I see tons of people at my age in happy relationships, a ton of people I know have got engaged. She tells me things about her friends and their partners even if it's that they are having problems or whatever and it just makes me feel like I'm so insignificant in her life that I don't even come up in her conversations.. I dunno I suppose I will just have to hang in there.
I confess that I was away for 3 hours and trying to catch up...
Her not talking about her relationship is about her, not you. It must be very tough though... but she's just not ready to come out. It doesn't mean she's ashamed of you... try not to take it personally, even if it's tough.spacequiztime wrote: »
Try fitting the bread into your daily calorie goals.
New to myfitness pal and i have spent the weekend with family and have fallen way off track. I am hispanic and one of my favorite breads is a sweet bread and I ate the whole thing. I am even having a hard time getting back to the gym....
There's a little bakery by the park I go to that makes the best pan dulce. I'm picking up one of these babies next time I go because I've really been craving it.
As for logging, I look for something similar in the database with with ounces or grams (powdered sugar cookies or donuts in this case) and log it as that.
I totally saw raw chickens.
My confession - I never realized until this thread that shark week is not just the special week about sharks on TV.
I didn't figure out what Shark Week was until today, actually!0 -

Because I can laugh about this now here’s a two for one confession. When I was in the Navy, we stopped in St. Thomas Vi. for a port of call, while at a club some ladies ask me to dance for a girlfriend of theirs that was celebrating her 40 birthday, the reason they asked me was that she had a thing for Sly Stone and Italian men in general.
So with a little persuasion and a little rum I finally agreed. It took me a little to loosen up and enjoy it but I finally did get into it. I actually made some good tips from other ladies and actually a couple of guys that were at the club.
A few years later, an old girl friend of mine from H.S. found out about this and asked me to dance at another mutual girlfriend’s bachelorette party. Again, it took some coercion but I finally agreed to it. The party was at a bar and there were other people there. Everything went well, no issues to report. Afterwards, I hung out (no pun intended) with a few other friends and ended up hooking up with a very nice woman in her mid-forties. I thought that I would never see her again not that I didn’t want to, it was just one of those things.
Here comes the pie in the face. So about a year later, a girl that I had been dating for a while and which we were getting serious, decided to take me to meet her mother (yeah I see the lights going off in your minds, you know what happens next). It was the most awkward moment of my life and I could not wait to get out of there, I was sweating and my stomach was a wreck. Neither her mother nor I could look each other in the eyes.
She and I continued to date but I was in pure hell not telling her but her mother begged me not to and honestly, I really didn’t want to either but it was pure hell withholding that from her.
We eventually did not work out and went our separate ways and I have no clue to this day if her mother ever told her the truth or not.
Phew - I let out a sigh of relief for you at the end of that story! Probably felt good to finally let out. Crazy, but highly entertaining - thanks for sharing!0 -

There's no reason to go spending $10 for lunch when there are always perfectly good leftovers.
I'm a tyrant. LOL
I'm the same way and in the same boat! When you have to cover for someone else's mistakes for so long, you kind of feel you have a right to dictate how they spend their money! If they mess it up, who do they want to make it all better?
My wife & I have been together for over 22 years...and we keep our money separate.
Coincidence? Discuss lol
Same here. Second marriage for both of us so keeping things separate is so much easier. Plus, we are both good with money and there are no secrets. Works just fine for us.0 -

And I have an eating disorder I can't tell anyone about.
The first step to start recovering from an eating disorder is telling people about it.
Or so said my therapist, psychiatrist and dietician when I went through it a few years ago.
Sorry you don't feel like you can talk to anybody.
Feel free to talk here. Yes, there are some crazy threads on these boards, but there are a lot of supportive caring people, too.0 -

That makes me tired just reading it! Sorry you had to go through all of this first, but I'm glad you see now how to do it the right way. It will take time; just be patient and keep your health in mind. Good luck!0 -
I see armless alligator like creatures. 0

They're supposed to be scorpions.
I will say, I have never had a good donut from any of these places.0 -
Well they look good...
Confession - I'm a pastry snob now. Only the good stuff is worth the calories at this point... for example, I'll never waste my calories on pastries from Panera or grocery stores (unless it's Wegmans or the local Whole Foods because their stuff is fantastic).0 -
I confess that I'm really digging seeing peeps' peep avatars. It's...cleansing to my soul... I also confess that someone on another thread expressed frustration at the amount of peep-related posts I put out there and I was not very peepceptive to her feedback. I'm afraid I was actually rather rude and used the peep cleanse to retaliate. The 10 Day Master Peep Cleanse(TM) must remain pure and I vow to never use it in a besmirchful manner again.0

There are 5 really good Mexican bakeries within walking distance of where I live. I've been here for almost two years and have only bought bread (not pan dulce) once.

Only very tangentally a fitness-related question...does anyone have experience with DHS deliveries? How likely are they to be on time?
I would love to go out dancing tonight, but I have no dresses that fit me which I have not worn too many times already. I am waiting for a packing which has a bunch of new dresses in it. It is supposed to arrive by end-of-day Pacific today. This morning it was in India. Now it is in Germany. I don't have much hope!0 -
whew! Finally caught back up... this has been a busy thread today and I was off of it for 3 days over the weekend and never caught up yesterday. Work got in the way all morning... and I have been feverishly reading all posts for the past 3 hours. I am so happy to be back on top of this!
You are all free to keep posting now... haha!0 -

That is really impressive! I have another confession. During workouts you have to push yourself . I used to try to do this by picturing how I want to look during the summer and at my friends wedding, and who I want to impress. I would tell myself how good I'll feel later and the health benefits. The only thing that truly helps me push myself and increase intensity is thinking about the food I'll be able to eat with those extra calories.

My confession is I've always seen myself as fat when I looked in the mirror and I was only 85 lbs I'm 4ft 8" so although thin not sickly! But now I'm 137 and for the first time what I always saw in the mirror is now my reality and I hate it! Trying so hard to just get down to 100 lbs but it's just not happening! Ugh0

Well, the one time I did buy bread, I made a HUGE sandwich, ate it all and gained 5 pounds. I am looking forward to the summer and an excuse to make a cold-cut sandwich again, with cheese and real mayo. Once a year will not kill me. I am really unreasonably sensitive to carbs and just cannot do bread on a regular basis.
Reality...no fun at all!0
